Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

what?

Yep, drove past an F-35B that was showing off it’s VTOL getting into Cosford airshow and heard its high speed pass before hand and can confirm it was very loud.

Although I found it not as loud as the Typhoon or Rafale to be honest. Those two were setting off all the car alarms during their displays.

You see that ring under the cocpit? The nose looks like a shark now

Very cool :)

they are not that loud compared to typhoons or f35s or f15s or f22s etc

ive also seen that display at duxford and im certain it was louder than the typhoon but idk

Makes you wonder why the Typhoon is so loud. On the other hand, the B-1B tho. Couldn’t hear properly for a couple hours after watching one takeoff xD

see idk man ive seen it land take off do displays go arounds etc and it seems much quieter than like an F-15 or something but idk

rafale is louder than an f16 tho (or at least when they fly above my house)

i unfortunately am yet to see a rafale so no comment there

I found the images I took at that airshow:

Yessir, those things were moving, and they are pretty loud too.

I saw the Rafale and Typhoon at the same display once and oh boy they are loud, making kids cry in fear at the beach.

Though I was told by a polish friend of mine that the loudest he heard was a UKR Su-27, and it makes sense considering the massive engines.

thought this was WT lmao looks like a game

The wingtip vortex look so strange IRL lol

yea lol looks very fake and game like (WT)

Bit of a longer one here

Was very far sadly

Very jealous for seeing a Tornado. I was going to see one at RIAT this year but then the whole thing was cancelled. Hoping they have it back for next year now though.

I’m glad our airforce still operates them, such an iconic jet.
