The Australian RAAF operated the F111C version up to 2010. They were affectionately known as the Pig because of the long nose, operating at low levels, like a pig with its nose in the dirt!
The B-1 has sweep wings, the F-14 from Top Gun has them, the Mig-23 has them and you also might know them from the british Tornado.
I was about to say this, the last video he's covered that had a variable wing setup was the Bone.
Don't forget the Russian version of the Bone, the TU-144; it too has variable geometry wing....
You mean the tu-160
So many tupolevs lol
Anybody interested should watch a video on them
On take off the engines put out dangerous vapors
the fire/flame is to burn the fuel they are dispersing in the air . in this case, is for "wow factor"
Indeed and a lot of these clips are are shows which is why they’re burning it up like that
aardvark is an ant eater
Take a look at how long the nose is on that thing.
there we go
No there aren’t 2 different animals
Basically the same
Anteaters will fuck you
F111 was known as the TFX program, it was pushed by Robert MacNamara of the Pentagon at the time. It was supposed to supply the Airforce and Navy. The Navy didn't like it, ( too Heavy) and Grumman came forward with the F 14 Tomcat which the Navy loved but was expensive. There are two people side by side to pilot the F111 the actual driver Pilot and his WIZZO ( weapons officer). We had some female WIZZO in Australia.
Other notable jets with swing wing are B1B bomber, and Russian knockoff, and the Russian Fencer which looks ominously like a copy of the F111, Australia retired their F111 (With some OZZY tweaks) after more than 30years of outstanding service , and was the last to fly them..Australian pilots named it the PIg, because of low level nose in the ground terrain following..100 foot off the ground doing 1500 Km/hr wasn't unusual. The last flight was a sad day for most Australians and RAAF pilots.
In Australia we used the F111C which had longer wings, all F111 's had fuel tanks in their wings, the F111C's longer wings, and bigger tanks, gave it a much greater radius of action. The video gave the sea level speed at a touch over Mach 1, this speed was actually actually considerably slower than it could go but the resultant friction caused extreme heating and if maintained for any length of time or if you went anywhere near top speed the outer skin of the plane was the first thing to start to melt away which by itself would induce a catastrophic failure of the aircraft. The undercarriage was designed with large balloon like tyres and large shock absorbers that enabled it to land on rough not well maintained airstrips. It did have additional hard points on the wings, but due to the swing wings they were not really really able to be used.
If the F111C had been continually updated with new materials and avionics etc I can't see why it wouldn't be an incredibly fast and highly survivable aircraft capable of out performing any other strike aircraft and doing far more. We were forced to replace it as time took its toll and parts became unavailable.
I would have loved to see a titanium skinned F111 and what it's performance would have been like.
simply because the F-15E strike eagle was a better plane for the same job. held more, went farther, performed better, less variables. not hard to see why it was replaced by the F-15 strike eagle variant.
due to the location of the fuel dump being between the two engines it can ignite the fuel to create the Dump n Burn. Used to be a giant spectacle and the RAAF used it to be the opening piece of fireworks shows
We loved the F-111 in Australia. I was lucky enough to get a birdseye view of 2 flying in formation in 1994. I was rock climbing at Mt. Arapiles and they flew below us!!
Original Human - I am not an aeronautic expert, but I read they were also designed to land on "rough" (dirt or a field) runways. They are really big, too. I walked around one at an air show and the pilot said yes, they can land on a "rustic" field. that is pretty amazing.
B1 Lancer has those wings
f-14 tomcat has wings like it too
And terrain following navigation. Treetop near supersonic monsters.
The subtitles on the base video are pretty crappy...the thing the F-111s did in Desert Storm was actually called "tank plinking".
The first military toy i got as a kid was a small metal f111 with moving wings and even till this day it holds a huge place in my heart.
Worked on these fb111 s throughout the 80s as a Airframe Mechanic in the Air Force. Various size outer frame panels can be removed leaving the plane's main skeleton frame exposed.
The B-1 bomber also had swing wings. Love your channel!
The British early 60’s aircraft was the TSR2 which never went into production.
originalhuman - the F111 is discontinued in USA , but lives on as the EF-111 Raven , its an Electronic Warfare JET.
Nice to know they’re teaching guys well in the UK. You don’t look that old you could’ve grew up, watching Arthur he was an anteater
Keep up the awesome work Luke, and keep kicking ass!
The F-14 Tomcat was the other plane known for variable geometry wings...
The other famous Swing Wings are the F-14 Tomcat, the B-1B Lancer Bomber, the MiG23 Soviet fighter, and the Tu160 Soviet bomber.
The FB-111 means fighter bomber, it's multirole.
the flames are because the Fuel dump nozzle is between the engines and if you light the afterburners while fuel dumping it will ignite the dumped fuel.
Webster defines an Aardvark as a ground pig! I worked on the electrical system for 4 years. Any aircraft that requires 8.5 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight is less than effective!
On 17 January 1991, a USAF EF-111 crew of Captain James Denton and Captain Brent Brandon achieved an unofficial kill against an Iraqi Dassault Mirage F1, which they managed to maneuver into the ground, making it the only member of the F-111 family to achieve an aerial victory over another aircraft.
I saw an interview with a pilot of an F111 who said that they were jumped by a Mig and after they did some heavy manoeuvres the Mig had closed the distance behind them and they released a couple of the small parachute bombs that they frequently carried and the Mig didn't react quickly enough to avoid hooking some parachute cords and the bomb promptly flicked up under the Mig's wing and detonated.
Might wanna do a video about the Su-24. More recently, Ukrainian Su-24s were modified to carry NATO missiles like Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles and they've been causing havoc to the Black Sea Fleet and supply lines of the russians. Other than that, a video on the F-14 Tomcat would be pretty spicy
F14 tomcat has wings that extend out. They actually show it in the new top gun movie.
The dump and burn is the big flame an awesome site in Australia
My nephew is a weapons guy for the F18 Super Hornet in the IKE right now!
The flames are called "torching" the fuel dump nozzle is between the he engines and if you light afterburners while dumping fuel you create that massive flame.
It’s call a dump and burn!
F14 Tomcat was the other swing wing Aircraft
The plane with the swept wings you think of is the B1 bomber!
Seems to share many of the A10 Warthog's durability design features 😉
If you plan to cover the F-18 Super Hornet the E,F & G are all in the super family.
U should do a video on the YF-23 grey ghost aka black widow or the F-14 tomcat (for the yf-23 grey/black widow ghost there is one video made by found and explained, whom made an extremely good video that explains it very well)
F111, f14 an b1 bomber all have variable sweep wings
Of more interest is that this is a Mac2.5 aircraft. In other words it had a speed greater than most fighters.
1:45 he is dumping fuel, they do that in emergencies usually, like when they know they're going to crash to prevent a larger fire. Not sure why he's doing in that clip.
They dump fuel in an emergency for to lighten the weight before landing not because of fire. In fact, empty tanks are more volatile than full tanks.
f14 had swing wings
This plane came before the f14 or the b1.
@@dougkennedy4906 Correct. Luke had asked us which other planes/jets he had done videos on had the same style of Swept Wings.
he only asked what was another plane with wings like that .@@dougkennedy4906
The F-14 Tomcat has variable sweep wings. We used to see F-111's doing nape of the earth flying in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho in the early 80's. Was on a construction job, building a molybdenum mine and they'd pass just a couple hundred feet off the ground in rugged mountains, very impressive and kinda scary.
The navy didnt like this plane. So they had the f14 made.
The f14 and the b1 also had swing wings.
The B1 is the only one still in use.
The Aardvark is extremely nocturnal en seldom seen in daytime
8:31 yes please very much enjoying the videos
The aardvark that the aircraft is named after, is one of several animals commonly known as an "anteater", all of which are goofy-looking, but in different ways. The aardvark is endemic to Africa, the echidna and numbat to Australia; the giant anteater and its less-giant cousins to Latin America; and the pangolin is found in both Africa and large parts of Asia. The word "aardvark" used to be famous for being the first entry in pretty much every encyclopedia ever, but with the rise of the internet, print encyclopedias are far less important than they used to be, and so the aardvark's fame may be fading.
at 6:53 the word you're looking for is "intermediary"
Swing Wing Aircraft:
F14
Tornado (all variants/GR4/ADV and F3).
B1 Bone
F111 - Ardvark (Animal which has long nose and translates from Afrikaans to English as Earth Pig) related to Elephants.
SU24
Blackjack
Tupalov
this is an odd looking bird...but from certain angles, it's not something you'd want to see coming at you- very aggressive looking, and way more maneuverable than i expected it to be (never seen it fly...)...
The Aartvark is an antearer and is found in South Africa. You can google it.
Meaning Enemy eater😂
F-111 could hold a nuke in its belly.
The swing wing designed by Britain's Barnes Wallis (bouncing bomb) designer. I think we rejected it and the yanks took it on.
Love these videos
My dad was a test pilot for 111 upgrades based at Nellis in the early 70s. Early versions of the ground-sensing navigational radar they mention had some pretty notable bugs early on, not least of which was the fact that they almost discovered the hard way that it penetrated snow on the ground instead of picking it up. I don't think they lost anyone to it before fixing the issue, but they definitely had some close calls over the Sierra Nevada mountains because of it.
You should see the USAF secret squadron of Soviet fighter jets
F14 Tomcat and F111 both had wings that would sweep all the way back in my opinion they should have not retired the F-111
Aardvark literally means "earth pig."
It burrows to get to ants and termites
It looks like the base for B1 Bone.the afterwards F14 overkill then got decommisioned for being too good for its needs.the low cost f16 and f18s more advantagious for the business
Check out F-111 riverfire brisbane Australia you won't be dissapointed
F-14 Tomcat (US Navy)
They used to have F-111s and EF-111s at Mountain Home AFB here in Idaho. There was one in the video. It had the MO tail code on it.
Saw that, too. MHAFB was my dad's favorite base from his SAC days.
@@mlevine2005 I spent a lot of time there for encampments and air shows when I was a kid in the Civil Air Patrol.
Tomcat was the other swingring
I remember Aardvarks were stationed at Pease AFB. Always thought they were just an awesome bit of kit, as the Brits might say.
Used to be am F one-eleven squadron at i believe RAF Bentwaters (cripple creek)
could you please do a reaction to the F-14 tomcat?
F14 and the Bone
Pronounced
Hey Luke! Really loving the military aviation content you’ve been pumping out lately. That stuff is what I geek out about all the time. If I could recommend you a good quality channel to absolutely binge watch on your channel for aviation stuff, it would have to be Found & Explained. He pumps out just as high quality content as the channel Mustard, the channel you watched with the MiG-25 and F-15 vids. The only difference is F&E pumps out a new vid every week. He’s got loads and loads of aviation content on important historic, present, and future aviation aircraft and craziest aircraft projects and conspiracy aircraft that were ever conceived.
Would really love for you to check out his YF-23 (YF-22 competitor) and NATF-23 (naval design of the YF-23) vids. As well, would love to se you check out his vids on the earliest jet aircraft and projects that kicked off the jet age in the 40’s. The: Horten HXVIII (Nazi flying wing bomber conceived to bomb New York), Lippisch P13 (conceived coal powered dorito plane), P-59 (americas first jet aircraft, the “first ever” jet aircraft ever designed, the Lockheed L-133 Starjet. He’s got a vid on that. And the Me-262, the first jet fighter to go into service, not surprisingly, by the nazi’s.
Shit, there’s so much cool stuff off of his channel, the aviation geeks in ur views would have a field day to see you look at this stuff.
Btw he doesn’t just do aviation, though it’s mostly what he does, he also does historical, present, and future ground vehicle projects (like his vid on a Soviet tank that could withstand a nuclear bomb) and naval projects (like a submersible aircraft carrier and plane that could fly underwater) as well on his channel with the craziest shit. Please check him out! Good stuff.
Great video! You should do a video on the p51 and its cousin the spitfire. Two of the most beautiful and deadly planes ever built.
f stands for fighter fb is fighter bomber
F -14 Tom Cat
Coolest jet ever. Came with its own ejection pod to protect crew. It came off same assembly line as F16 and F35.
Aarvatk = ant eater
My dad worked on the F-111 back in the day. He loved them and the F-4 Phantom II. It was a solid airframe and had an awesome survivability rating in his Squadron.
8:30 yeah u should definitely do a video on F18
F14 Tomcat.
F14 Tom Cat.
the USAF sabotaged the NAVYs chances with a GOOD Viable JET , all the Specs were GREAT for the USAF only.
the NAVY got the Castrated version. DOOMED to Fail.
Awesome aircraft. Worked on the simulator in 80s at Plattsburgh AFB.
Author Dale Brown - 'Flight of the Old Dog' flew it also.
I miss the sound of jet noise at PAFB. It's always a treat when VTANG comes over to practice on the flight line.
The f14 tomcat was a swept wing design fighter jet.
For fact, F-111 is the top scorer tank & bunker buster in Gulf War than Apache and A-10 Warthog
The fire is from additional rocket boosters to assist when taking off with heavy loads or short airfields.
oh yea?
Yes Rocket assist
Yes a video on the "McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle " would be nice reaction. its quick and agile.
I would very much enjoy a video on the 18 please, thank you :)
B1 bomber and F14 also had variable geometry wings
Great video and reaction. Thank you.
F-14
Those were a low level nuclear penetrator when in service with the Strategic Air Command. If memory serves, they would carry two nukes underwing and could do pop up lobs throwing the nuke up into the air on an arc to target thus giving them more time to exit the area before the blast.
This is a good segway jet to checkout the f14 tomcat. 😊
Always thought the dump and burn was something you did after eating spicy food.
F 14
The F-14 Tomcat , the B-1 bomber to name a couple others. The Soviet Foxbat is another!
The other plane we saw was the f14 Tomcat
The "other one" you watched was the B-1b bomber.
Yo! I recommend the new Mitsi Studio video "Evolution of Fighter planes!".
F-14 had sweep wings too.
3:58 the B-1 and the F-14 can
The F-14 also used the swing wing tech. .
The Aardvark didn't get its name officially until it retired. It was always meant to be a bomber but congress liked to buy fighters and not bombers and that's why "F" and "FB" 111. It was designed with the Vulcan 20mm but almost never installed.
The Bone. A aardvark is an anteater.
I'm a Good Ole Country Boy that has a bad southern drawl. I was in SOCOM back in the late 70s and early 80s. I'm enjoying your Channel. If you and I got together we would be using charades to communicate
The other plane you’re talking about is the F-14 Tom Cat.
The USA F14 Tomcat had swing wings
F-14 tomcat is also a swing wing fighter plane
