Top Gun Maverick New Official Trailer | Thunderbird Pilot Reacts

About this video

Max reacts to the new Top Gun: Maverick trailer, analyzing flight maneuvers, aircraft features, and character dynamics shown in the footage. He explains technical aspects like the cobra maneuver, knife edge passes, and bubble violations based on his fighter pilot experience. Max identifies what appears to be an Su-57 in the trailer and praises the film’s use of real fighter jets with actors actually flying in them.

Key takeaways

• Max points out that the cobra maneuver shown requires high thrust-to-weight ratio and post-stall maneuvering capability, which F-18s can’t actually perform but F-22s can
• Max explains that the character dynamic between Maverick and Hangman reflects real fighter squadron dynamics, where top performers with different personalities push each other to improve
• Max identifies what he believes is an Su-57 aircraft in the trailer based on identifying features like the stinger-type protrusion between engines and wing shape
