Скачать или смотреть This British Fighter Jet Could Outclimb Everything

The English Electric Lightning was built for one purpose: intercept the enemy faster than anything else in the sky. Designed during the height of the Cold War, this British fighter prioritized climb rate and speed above all else. Few aircraft before or since have matched its raw, vertical performance.

This documentary explores why Britain needed such an extreme interceptor and what made the Lightning both legendary and unforgiving. From its stacked engines to razor-thin fuel margins, every design choice reflected Cold War urgency. The Lightning was not versatile, but it was brutally effective.
