  • Avid Top Gear fans may well remember the time Richard Hammond raced the RAF in a Bugatti Veyron. Well, technology has moved on a little since then, and Paddy McGuinness fancied a rematch, so join Chris Harris in the super-slippery, 250mph McLaren Speedtail and the RAF in their 1200mph F35 jet. Let's race.

      Ive actually done a very similar thing, Im avionics for the U-2S and the landing gear is so shit that a pilot literally has to chase the jet when it lands with a supercharged dodge and radios the flying pilot to tell them how far off the ground they are. Its called a chase car. But we're only going about 140 mph

      I’m sure that was probably filmed after the race too or at least after they tried this several times and tried to figure out which route would make the race the closest. It’s tv, everything is planned out, that’s why the pilot said the 3rd turn was too tight even though it was just as tight as the 1st turn.

    • @LegendaryAce73
      @LegendaryAce73 Před 3 lety +36

      Jim Bob Not to sound pretentious, but there's actually a legitimate reason. The F-35 is coated in radar absorbant material (RAM). This material is EXTREMELY expensive, and any scuffs or blemishes in it will affect the stealth capabilities of the jet. If someone were to stand on the wing of an F-35 and damage any portion of the RAM, they'd have to take the jet into the maintenance area, strip off all the surrounding material, and re-apply a new coating.
      So no, it's not for show. The Lightning II is so expensive and complex that they cannot risk the liability of damaging that material.
