First F-35B Vertical Takeoff Test
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 05. 2013
- An F-35B test aircraft completes its first-ever vertical takeoff (VTO) at NAS Patuxent River, Md., on May 10, 2013. While not a capability used in combat, VTOs are required for repositioning of the STOVL in environments where a jet could not perform a short takeoff. In these cases, the jet, with a limited amount of fuel, would execute a VTO to travel a short distance.

The amount of engineering that went into this is unbelievable
Just look how steady it is
Note how the pilot can drop the plane slowly for touch down, compare to AV-8B Harrier pilots that's required to turn down the engine quite significantly and slam the plane at the last one/two foot.
well its not that impressive compared to su57 flatspins.
thanks for telling me to look i hadn't noticed the video i was just listening to the sound
Blaise N'kufo Su57 is shit compared to F-35 lmao

Keyboard warriors: “the F-35 is bad”
The F-35 hovering outside their house:
They do seem to crash... a lot
29% turned out to be operational, and many many many models seem to just fizzle out somehow. Lockheed is a money grabbing corporation, the US government better get these contractors in check, this is of utmost importance.
@@Darakyoutane I've noticed a lot of the nato countries have issues with them as well. Watched a video of the British navy sending one into the ocean lmfao, you know though American acceptionalism at its best
@@jlo7770Apparently mistakes can happen sometimes
@@Rorywizz well it's a 100 million dollar mistake everytime one of these f35 decideds to act up. I will accept that that unqualified woman "fighter pilot" did ditch an f35 into the south china sea and that was 100% her fault, but "mistakes" in engineering should be ironed out before they're nilly willy flying over civilian infrastructure and the pilot gets ejected over land and the jet f's off for 50 miles until it finally crashes into someone's yard.
The faa is kinda stringent when it comes to flying. If I slapped some garbage together and it had a high failure rate I sure af wouldn't be able to fly it. But then again we can look at Boeing and see those jet liners are falling apart mid flight and the faa doesnt particularly seem to care cuz the tax payers will be stuck paying for it. It's not a "mistake" when there's a ton of videos out there of these jets doing the exact opposite of what they're suppose to do and that flying into the ground or water. It's more than a simple "mistake"
Reminds me of the time I never flew an f-35. Awesome!

A fixed winged aircraft hovering is the most magnificent thing one can witness.
Yeah feels just like sci-fi
Where is any video demonstrating this "VTOL"s ability to transit into horizontal fly?
Oh yes. Look for ever, find no thing what so ever.
@@worldoftancraft either not developed enough or done before but not revealed due to it being classified. many things about these jets the public doesnt know, because enemies can take all that data and make counters for them, rendering all the advanced tech almost useless
@@itzbrezaa do you understand that VTOL without being able to transit to horizontal flight is a useless plane-vtol?
And it can, some videos show. Yet they aren't popular
Yes u're right, I only ever see osprey did that
You just never get tired of watching an aircraft taking off vertically.
And I've been flying helicopters for over 12 years...
It just seems wrong, doesn't it? Like it's completely unnatural, yet it's hapoening
@@julians.2597 To me, it's not wrong in the sense it shouldn't happen, it just doesnt seem correct, it's more of a "It COULD do that?"

Those things are honestly the coolest jets I've ever seen in real life. There super loud too
Like- JESUS christ it’s loud. Only plane as loud as the F-35 is the goddamned Harrier
@@sierra6993 that’s because the thrust bounces onto the ground and shakes the ground creating more intense vibrations and even more noise it also requires A LOT of power for VTOL
@@encryptedaviation1452 it’s also probably because it sits still instead of passing by fast
It’s also powered by the damn PW-F-135 engine, the most powerful engine fitted to a single engine fighter
right, i had to research its sound by watching this video because i saw one at a way closer distance than this camera man and it was silently hovering in a residential area just above street lights at night going into between two hills illegally by skunk works and i was the only witness. must be a prototype or a ufo disguised as an f35. at edwards afb area.
The amount of energy required to keep that aircraft hovering must be unbelievable
It needs to lift the equivalent weight in air to itself to stay hovering. Insane to imagine standing underneath the engine or fan
@@theelephantintheroom69it melts asphalt which is why you find them doing stovl takeoffs (short takeoffs) using the vtol instead of straight up vertical takeoffs, so yeah i wouldnt want to be under it
It's a beautiful piece of engineering.
Acutally this is the worst price of shitty aircraft i ever seen. It wasted so much on the Defence Budget and now Congress keeps buying it. The navy still have difficulties with it's carrier landings as for maintain the aircraft is too expensive. The f14 Tomcat is the best and sexist aircraft i ever seen. (Lmao this is a joke, the f35 has it's pros and cons.)

You don't actually need a runway to take off or land this machine. This is awesome
wahahahah
Yeah, that's the whole point of developing VTOL aircraft. Being able to land and takeoff from pretty much anywhere is a huge tactical advantage, it goes a long way towards nullifying the tactic of targeting one's airfields.
Agreed, the british were launching Harriers from container boats during the falklands war in the 70s, the argientines were wondering how they were getting fighter jets to the war after destroying the british main carrier!
Urm the Argentines never sank a carrier?
Italy, for example, really benefits from VTOL jets because they don’t really have a lot of adequate runways. They loved the harrier, and when they have enough money they intend to buy the F-35B.
It's crazy how this technology has been a thing for more than 20 years yet many people haven't heard about it
Edit: Please stop saying VTOL technology is 60 years old. I know. I get it, but I was referring to the F-35 being about 20+ years old
Harrier: allow me to introduce myself
I think the biggest difference between the F35 and the Harrier is the lack of need for cooling water (I could be wrong, I just vaguely remember someone mentioning it) and the F35 having stealth capabilities like the F22 does.

@@FrankyPi uh oh, do you precisly know what a UFO is?
@@Tacticaviator7 Bob Lazar confirmed
Interesting you should say that.
In summer 1969, my family lived in Berkeley Missouri which is a few miles east of Lambert International airport-St. Louis.
Lambert airport was the location of the Headquarters for McDonnell Douglas Aviation.
Just days after the lunar landing of Apollo 11, my father was driving my sister and I on Lindbergh Ave. approaching Interstate 270/255 which is northwest of the airport.
As we approached the highway overpass we saw something over the roadway.
This area was not undeveloped like a farmer's field.
It was primarily a business community with car dealerships and restaurants. Beyond the interchange on all sides was single family residential housing.
It was of course not unusual to see aircraft considering the proximity to the airport, but this did not seem to be moving.
And it was no helicopter.
It was primarily white with orange painted highlights and it was floating essentially motionless.
This being a summer day around 11 am, and clear blue skies, it hovered over the southeast cloverleaf of the interchange at about 200 feet.
And it was LOUD.
As we got closer to it my father began slowing down our car as we all looked at this thing, mouths open in amazement.
We weren't the only ones either.
It was a Saturday morning and traffic was very light, but other cars on all the various lanes and directions were slowing to have a look to the degrees that traffic came to a halt.
My sister asked, "What is that? A UFO?" She was 4 years older than me, my being 5 years of age.
I think my father's reply was along the lines of, "I dunno."
We passed by it within several hundred feet at a snail's pace while it rotated slightly.
Once we were about a quarter mile away it rose to a higher altitude and moved away.
The discussion for the next ten minutes was obviously what it was, how it stayed in the air and where it came from.
Considering the recent moon landing and related extraterrestrial life/UFO discussions on the news, my sister admitted to being afraid of whatever it was.
When we returned home we told our mother and older brothers about it.
Big mistake.
Of course they assumed we were kidding.
When our father confirmed what we saw, he also became the receiver of frowns and snickering from our brothers.
My mother asked him if it was true, which he said it was, but even mom gave him a look of "Seriously?........"
Eventually we learned it was better to not bring up the subject anymore for fear of mocking.
Many years later, while visiting Schaeffer's Hobby Shop in south St. Louis, (I was probably in my early twenties) I was looking through the "In Action" series of Squadron aircraft soft back books
when something caught my eye.
On the back of one was an artist's rendition of the aircraft I my sister and father had seen many years prior.
It was the "Harrier In Action" book.
I was very familiar with Harriers and many different types of aircraft being a model kit builder almost exclusively of 1:48 scale.
I had completely forgot about the incident but seeing artwork of the Harrier, reminded of it.
I looked in the book for an explanation of it, and remembered that prototype military aircraft were painted white with orange highlights for higher visibility during flight testing.
The reason the aircraft was over that road in 1969 I learned was that the US Marines were very interested in the AV-8 Harrier for its VTOL capabilities.
McDonnell Douglas had been partnering with Hawker Siddley to purchase Harriers from the British.
The aircraft floating over the highway was being tested, and scaring the shit out of my older sister.
And setting her my father and I and probably numerous witnesses up for unwanted mockery from our family members when we told the tale.
Had they told the public, "You're gonna fucking love this thing, it's gonna float magically and shit, and take off straight up and down. Pretty badass shit." It wouldn't have been such a controversial development.
exactly!
Thing is, it won't. It can only VTOL with half a fuel load and no weapons, so.
It is marketed as a STOVL. The only people who call it a VTOL are probably uneducated in the fact it can't do a proper vertical takeoff.
+Karuiko It was meant to be VTOL but it isn't. So they changed how they market it. It's meant to replace the harrier

I can never understand people saying that the f35 and f22 are unnecessary... russia, china, and even Japan and India are developing 5th generation stealth fighters. Should we just not develop 5th generation stealth fighters as well? I admit, their development was horrendous and the costs are exorbitant. But this is because no one has made a 5th generation stealth fighter before, especially with vtol (LOL). It makes me laugh how some people think making the f22 and f35 should have been a piece of cake. The fact that the f22 is the only combat operations 5th generation stealth fighter to have even flown missions is a testament to the advantages of not falling behind in fighter technologies, and being a leader.
Joh1002mm hah fuck off, Russia made 3 5th generation fighters, Su47, Mig1.44 and Yak141 during 1990s, when USA didn't even develop F22 prototype , and now Russia has Su57, it gone late because of USSR collapse and economy crisis, it's all fine now and Russia will reply every American fighter by creating it's own new Russian equivalent

decade
Really? Saying the F-35 "will be exceptional" without any proof of performance or combat use isn't accurate, at all. The F-16 was a rather successful design, while the F-35 was developed strictly to become a cash cow for Lockheed and the MIC.

After lifting,does the engine automatically takes it's to a speed at which it can cruise since those speeds weren't available as a normal horizontal takeoff would require,cause I'm pretty sure that's not a V1 speed up there

I wonder what kind of fuel and ordinance load it can have when doing the vertical take off?
vertical takeoff?! that's bad ass 10/10 would waste tax dollars again
Yet the project for the plane lasted for over ten years, without a single mass-produced version ever built. And, it costed more than all of the US fighter planes costed since the P-47 and P-51... combined. Badassery can't be promised now, can it?
Sky Eye - You're using COSTED incorrectly. That form would be used if you were in the process of calculating the cost of a job (mainly used by accountants and financiers) - but not for a sentence like this. Just use COST here.
Sky Eye WRONG and you know it or are just plain ignorant.
+matthew mckean less than 10%, get over it crybaby
+Sky Eye WRONG, they are in production.
Even in 2019 this is BADASS
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Most Advanced High Technology Spotted Real This Time 🔥🔥🔥
“Hey Doc you might wanna back up we don’t have enough room to take off”
“Runway? Where we’re going we don’t need runway”
Legendary comment, gotta love Back to the future
Belíssima aeronave!
Seen either one of these or a different one hovering over the treeline next to my house and zoomed away. Was neat.
y r people disliking it, its amazing
Vertical is the best way to take off
Gas: Hold my bill
Aviation fuel*
Lockheed Martin, "What should we make next?"
???....," An Amphibious Fighter Aircraft."
@@beastman1927 which aircraft?
@@boingobadger9846 This
Just incredible!
I know this technology is around for years. However it's always amazing to see it. It's kinda like seeing a space craft from star wars take off. Only that this is a real aircraft.
Love this plane. To be able to stop on a dime, i reckon this is the best F35
I had no idea the F-35 could do vert take off? I now respect this plane a lot more than I used to
The B variant is capable of VTOL, A and C variants aren't
That's basically the entire reason it's so expensive is the VTOL capability of the B variant. Thing is it is a pretty huge advantage because it means we can use STOVL carriers rather than CATOBAR supercarriers to launch planes, but we still do have the A and C variants for normal take offs. People rag on this plane too much.
@@TheRedKing247 The F-35B can only do a low fuel and no stores VTO, for operations/combat it's a STOVL aircraft.
@@hoghogwild Thats why I said STOVL carriers
@@TheRedKing247 You said "is the VTOL capability of the B variant" which for combat it does not possess. Though if they simply required to ferry a jet from one carrier to another, or from a carrier to a close by land base or vice-versa, they could use that limited VTOL capability with low fuel loading and no internal/external stores in place..
MF turned on creative mode
Can somebody tell me what are the two long openings below running along the length of weapons bay? The other two are lift fan exit in front behind the wheel and other is space for swiveling nozzle.
Nah
