I acquired this video in 1991. The video quality isn't great, but the material is.

F-111 Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) 1st Flight
Просмотров 13 тыс.8 лет назад
F-111 Digital Flight Control System First Flight. The F-111 was originally designed with analog (not digital) computers onboard. A later modification replaced the analog computers with a newer digital version.
F-111B US Navy Carrier Trials (Rare & Silent)

Rare silent film of carrier trials of the F-111 B. This variant never went into production. The F-14 was developed based on the F-111 swept wing design and eventually put into production. The F-111 was there first, though.

Produced by General Dynamics Fort Worth Division. I inherited F-111 materials from my father Ben Toney, who retired as Engineering Director for the F-111 program. This VHS tape video was among the items in a box I found.

The family of Tom and Thecla Bouter created this video to remember the loss of sailing ship "Ultimate" with all hands onboard. Ultimate was lost at sea on January 24, 2009 during Cyclone Klaus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Klaus Thanks for watching.

Our squirrel - Ratbert - on the day he opened his eyes.
I was an Instrument and autopilot or AFCS tech and instructor from 1971 to 1980. I can only recall 3 AFCS computers, pitch roll and yaw. Also there was a feel and trim assembly. What were the six computers that were replaced by the new digital flight control computer? Was there any improvement besides reliability by the new DAFCS?
The DFCS replaced the three flight control computers. The goal of the program was for the DFCS-modified aircraft to match the flying qualities of the unmodified F-111.
@@kenhas87B I became an AFCS instructor for Sikorsky Aircraft on the SH60B in 1980. It had a digital AFCS computer that was replaced about thirty years later because they could no longer get the processor to repair the computer. What was the reason for upgrading the AFCS computers if the handling qualities remained the same. Reliability? Parts maintenance?
@@jnbfrancisco Your suggested reasons are exactly correct. Reliability, parts availability and anticipated reduced maintenance were the reasons for the proposed upgrade. The intent was to make the aircraft fly exactly like the existing F-111 fleet to minimize re-training impacts on the operational squadrons. Of course the pre-flight, systems and EPs would have required re-training but the flying qualities of the modified aircraft were essentially the same as the operational F-111s.
@@kenhas87B I became very impressed with the sofictication of the automatic flight control system on the F111 after I became a field training instructor at Mt Home AFB. I think that some pilots didn't understand the AFCS either If I could have returned to the maintenance of the F111s, I would have done another 10 years in the USAF. I loved to fix that wonderful airplane. I didn't chose to be an instructor and couldn't get out of it so I quit.
Why some narrators of footage of this bird say "it failed miserably" blows my mind. It appears to do exactly as intended.
Very insightful speach. Thanks
Very insightful speach. Thanks
F-111 and FB-111: if you modernized it with avionics, radar, thrust vectoring, etc. this would be a 4+ gen. aircraft!
Thank you for sharing this great video. I’d give it 10 likes if I could. 😊
Wasnt the Navys idea....so wasnt "suitable."
Thanks for sharing! Any idea when and where this was recorded?
Should really have been given an attack designation instead of an "F" designation.
F-111B is 1/2 size of Coral Sea's flight deck.
Ok, wheres the footage out of nowhere that has f 15s and 16s in navy trials?
1:17 absolute centerline...
This is the best video I ever watched on RUclips, it has extremely valuable content. Thank you for sharing!
I'm not sure the spoilers are adding anything to the mix.
Neat
My father told me the stories about this aircraft, how it would shake the whole ship every time it landed. Great video! I know my father is somewhere on that ship in this video hoping to caught a glimpse of him
Thank you for the upload!
Cool video.
How did usaf pass PT?
Not all F-111 had digital cockpit

To all Veterans, thank you for your service!🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
This aircraft is now at China Lake Naval Weapons Station. It is sitting in the sand, engines gutted, faded and tattered. It's a piece of history and should be in an air museum. I'd love to take a picture but photography is strictly forbidden. Next to it is an RA-5 and F-8. About a dozen other aircraft were parked near it and they were all fenced off but are now gone.
I never knew what happened to it. Thanks.
About the only role I could see for the 111 on a carrier would be reconnaissance. RF-111B. Although, I don’t know if it would have been any better than the RF-4B.
The Soviets stole the design of this plane and called it Su-24.
I was at Mountain Home with our sister base at Cannon during 1984- 1987. This is an Air Force fighter bomber at it best. This aircraft has USAF written all over it. Loved this aircraft.
What squadron were you with at MHAFB, Mississippi Slab? I was at Mountain Home from 77 to 81 and again from 86 to 91. Loved the F version when we had it for a short time until they transferred to England during Operation Ready Switch!
@@scottbarron611 I was with the DCM staff ( Aircraft System Analyst/ Schedulers). Work with the 389th and 390th Aircraft Maintenance Units while I was there.
Bring back the F 111 scare the hell out of russia.
Welcome to America everything’s for sale ! Whatever!
Don’t be dependent upon words or others be first to surprise those that aren’t right! Hate Is power know how to get there quickly!
Improve e the very ways we conduct wars if attackeded payment is required by getting thier blood!
That is a sexy lady
Nice
The absolute best of the best
I love this bird.
Loved my time at Heyford in the 80’s
South side AMS, CNAPA, 1982-84 Remember the Falkland Arms Pub my old friends?
The 4 horseshoes pub.
The gentleman (Father). Involved in the F111 used even based on snake island . Techs was up to day then . now today ( secret ) who is kidding who ???
Mach,2.5 that’s gittin it alright.ahead of time airplane.
This plane doesnt belong on a flight deck
And yet, there it is. 🙂 I imagine with more powerful engines it would have been better.
@@christoney2491 I think it would have been better if they attatched the engines to the wings, cut open the fuselage, and turn it into a transport
Russian MIG
Beautiful voice!
As a F111E crew chief incredible aircraft to which I am so proud to have actually worked on and had the honor to serve n overseas territories
I was in the 55th. Great assignment.
26/06/2022 Our F trucks, as we also called them, were an obvious sight over Ipswich Queensland when I lived there, being close to their Amberley airbase. Unfortunately our politicians agreed that the RAAF's planes were to be amongst the numbers reduced by nuclear disarmament deals with Russia. Subsequently they were dropped down abandoned coal mines in the local area and the RAAF's ability was dramatically reduced; replaced by Hornets.
8 vulcans tested usa defence, 6 got through undetected, yep, uk 🇬🇧
But never forget the mighty vulcans 🖖
Just brilliant 👏
LN love it
