Only one of these is pulling the throttle back to an efficient range when doing so
I always forget how much of a power house the concord was… i may need to look into the engines of it as im not even sure if it had AB tbh?

That is correct, the F-22 can as well if it reduces the top speed to 1.5
Cool, not what super cruise is. Still an amazing feature than none of us are downplaying but its not what super cruise is. Its something better… can you not just accept that?
The concorde had standard turbojets, Olympus 593
So, the F-22 cant supercruise?
What is it then
That’s not what I said, they stated the F-22 can supercruise up to 1.82 mach. I stated that only one of those aircraft listed at the respective speeds is doing so with less than full mil throttle.
GODDAMN… Shame i hate flying, cant stand it knowing i have a couple mm of alluminium between me and 35,000ft of nothing. not for me.
I dont know, make up a name for it as its not super cruise?
The Olympus was a good engine for the 60s and 70s, used until the 2000s. It had reheat but was only used to surpass the wave drag barrier after which it pulled the throttle back and efficiently cruised. This isn’t something easily done by a turbofan because the air going around the core slows down the exhaust velocity too much.
U did imply the pulled back speed was 1.8mach earlier but thats just nit picking.
Setting the throttle to cruise in supersonic conditions isn’t supercruise, but using maximum dry thrust is?
No, I outright stated the cruise speed was 1.5 mach (just past the wave drag boundary).
This might be the last time we give a warning about going off-topic. Please respect it.

For when this one gets banned and going forward we will have different features and weapon systems

As far as I see for the past 1000 comments this thread as been around data fusion and supercruise bitching, so I’ll pass on that explanation lmao
Correction. 1 guy claiming that the Typhoon has neither. and everyone else on the thread proving him wrong using primary sources for a 1000 comments
