    In about 1988 I was at an airshow in El Paso Texas standing in a flying suit beside my aircraft.When the USMC Harrier did it's bow at the end of it's show,a woman turned to me and said "Hell,I bet you wish you had those in yer Air Force".
    I replied,"Madam we've had them in the Royal Air Force since 1969"

      waynester71 Similarly with the B-57. When I was very young I remember may Dad and I would always talk planes. I showed him a model of a Canberra that I wanted and we got on that subject. He just kept trying to convince me that it was a British jet to which I would reply, "No it's not, it's made by Martin!" Oh to be older and understand things now! (I do really like the early Canberras with the fishbowl canopies. They were very elegant.) I also think the Kestral was better looking with the lower canopy, but style doesn't count in warfare!

    One small exception. The United States is part of NATO and there are 13,513 serviceable airports in the United States. In addition the Interstate roads have straight sections designed every couple of hundreds miles. They were designed to function as airstrips. It would be almost impossible to knock out 13,513 airports and the many straight sections of 6.5 million miles of roadway. So the opening statement is sort of true, but not 100% correct. I would say that it is true for Europe and leave it at that.

      Wade French and just how many would be available for the use of aircraft capable of influence WW3 if the Cold War had turned hot? Airbases are amongst the first target of any invading power. The Harrier allows you to disperse your aircraft into places where, for example, an F-16 can't go. Dispersal to civilian airfields could do this, but the vast majority won't have the facilities or infrastructure to support military aircraft, plus these locations are known worldwide and would be vunerable to enemy attacks (just look at WW1 the German subs knew which ships had left New York bound for England because the sailings were published as were the insurance details which identified the cargo being carried allowing the Germans to know where to be to intercept these ships). In the Cold War the RAF's V-Bomber fleet would be dispersed to regional airports within the UK to escape Russian attacks, but this made these airports targets, so the Bombers were not going to be much safer than at their home base, the Harrier could go hide in a wood and then pop up to surprise the enemy.

    @senjaz Před 11 lety

    This is my favourite aircraft from childhood. Despite being sentimental for it the aircraft is now obsolete. Despite many attempts to develop the pegasus engine, Rolls Royce never managed to make it capable of supersonic flight. As time went on it has been outclassed in speed and manoeuvrability so is a liability in combat. The F-35 is a good replacement even if it doesn't capture the mind like the harrier. What is bonkers is that we currently have neither aircraft in active duty.

  • @imthefuckinglizardking4590

    It's never been either. As a multi-role aircraft the harrier's strength was always it's flexibility. It's a fighter, it's a bomber, it can take off and land without an airfield. No contemporary aircraft could match that combination. You can however find better fighters, supersonic flight existed before the harrier was even developed. If if wasn't for the tricks you could pull by vectoring thrust in flight it wouldn't have been as good as it was. It's the only plane I know that can fly backwards.

    Generally accepted as the world's first assault rifle,the StG44's effect on post-war arms design was wide-ranging, as evidenced by Mikhail Kalashnikov's AK-47, and later in the.US M16 and its variants.The Soviet Union was quick to adopt the assault rifle concept. The AK-47 used a similar-sized intermediate round and followed the design concept, but was mechanically very different He did copy the gas operating system of the StG44/MP-44, and used it in the design of the AK-47that he can not deny,

    To be fair, the Harrier wasn't a compromise plane that had to share a platform with a (reinforced and thus very heavy) carrier-based CATOBAR variant. And the 35B's requirements compromise the other versions as well due to weight reduction for the B. The Joint Strike Fighter is a stupid idea and should have just been the A model to replace the F-16.

    The Soviet (Warsaw Pact) military machine (mobile capacity) was then simply frightening! Literally thousands of state of the art, tried and tested T-'ranged' battle tanks lined-up and set to accelerate into and over the NATO nations all the way to the North Sea! Tends to focus the defensive' mind. Hence the UK's and Europe's genuine urgency is designing the VTOL system.

    The Harrier is in many respects a flying marvel, but because of the nature of the aircraft it has inherent and quirky behavior especially during takeoff and landing vertically.

    "The Northrop N-1M, also known by the nickname "Jeep", was an American experimental aircraft, used in the development of the flying wing concept by Northrop Aircraft during the 1940s."
    That was the U.S's first main attempt at a stealth aircraft, google it :)

    0:23 - NATO left with no land-base aircraft except for Harriers...
    Yeah, they'd already already lost if that was the case.

      WW3 was a lose-lose contest.
      Those airfields were gone because they'd been nuked.

    Why would they do so? The Yak was used in Afghanistan and turned out to be a complete failure. The Americans would never buy tech from a plane which was an operational disaster.

    actually the 40s 1944 to be exact, and it never had any stealth properties, just because it was a flying wing didnt mean it was stealth

    The harrier was made before the yak 141

    He said "worked on" not designed and built... and he was apparently in the RAF.

    I read others saying it was a choice of the tornado or the harrier, that was the crux decision, top brass liked the tornado, so the better plane went- Mods to the tornado have been going on for years , and once airborn the tornado is fantastic. but it still does not have the versitility of the harrier, In desert storm, Harriers delivered over 90 ton of ordinance, from the sea 2/3 of the earth surface , they are superior, and early battle front line weopon,- from anywhere operational.

    it was the germans who first tried to make a vertical takeoff plane, britian just poineered the idea

    The Harrier has one engine and is nothing like the french plane.
    But the Mirage was sold to france by uk which was the fairey delta 2.

    the pegasus engine was a great idea. we need an updated pegasus for modern combat.

    And YOU do a search for the Fairey Rotodyne.
    The Rotodyne did what the Osprey is doing now.
    Another example of British MPs doing Americans work for them
    (Search for "Blue Streak" too - American NASA used the info for Space exploration )
    And the Dornier has NOTHING to do with the Harrier.

    The Harrier was a simple solution for a complicated problem...For comparision the Mirage III V was supersonic, but use 8 (...) small jet engines for vertical sustentation: complicated and expansive, go never over the prototype...
