    I saw a Harrier Jump Jet at an airshow in the U.K. when I was a kid. It was brilliant, it hovered, moved sideways, backwards , turned a 360 on the spot, bowed to the crowd then pointed its nose to the sky and went straight up like a rocket. I’ll never forget that day.

    2 interesting facts about the V-22 Osprey:
    1. The diameter of the two rotors is so large that they can't be tilted 90 degrees horizontally while the aircraft is on the ground, otherwise the blades would be touching the floor.
    2. Either one of the turbine engines can drive both rotors via a driveshaft that stretches across the wing. So if one of the engines fails and can't power it's own rotor then the remaining engine can take over.

    Little known fact: Yakovlev, the russian aircraft design company sold the designs for vtol to Lockheed Martin for the F-35. The plane that uses this design was an old soviet aircraft known as the Yakovlev Yak-38. Used thrust vectoring for the back two nozzles, and then had 2 smaller engines behind the cockpit for the forwards upwards thrust required for a vtol landing. The F-35 uses the same system, with a hatch opening above the forwards engine to allow airflow through it.

    • @peterson7082
      @peterson7082 3 года назад

      Not the case at all- the technology transfer happened, but how much of the _Yak-41_ specifially was used is arguably no more than studies of its flight envelope
      The _F-35B_ uses a vertical thrust fan getting power from the engine, not two separate turbojets. Layout of the cold and hot thrusters are radically different. The three-section nozzle is very similar, but both get their origin from a Convair patent from the sixties.

      Your not even convincing yourself. It's a public issue that is regularly debated in MSM. There is no other progam in the US Armed Services that is a greater safety risk. (Unless you consider the actual Navy Officer class itself that has caused the 3+ major Naval collisions)

Don't underestimate the power of a flying ARMED combat computer in today's world.

    I've been a subscriber for a while and have enjoyed many of your videos. I was just watching a documentary on the Harrier jump-jet... I'm familiar with it but found myself confused with the nozzle placement. I couldn't find anything, well, I watched a crummy 1992 animation or something like that and then immediately yours popped up. Everything I wanted to know was explained in perfect detail along with history of how it got to that point proceeding that information. The thrust differential between the fronts and the rears was an issue I thought would have to be dealt with. Not only was my suspicion correct, as you immediately pointed out, you explained exactly how and why nozzle placement compensated for it. That's very satisfying, sir. Thank you!

    it should be noted that not ALL F-35s will be able to vertical lift, just the specific F-35 B. the other two variants are just for air force specs (F-35A) and intended as a replacement only for the F-16, and theF-35 C which is suppose to replace the hornet F-18 A,B,C,D which are aged air frames, but won't replace the E and F models that are still quite useful by naval standards.
    the thing you should note is that the air frames may be the same but the guts are being revamped.

Exept that this was not enough, so they decided to just brute-force it and attatched 8 Turbojets (4 on each wing) to the tip of the wing, mounted vertically, and only used for Takeoff and Landing. Naturally, this plane never got past the prototype phase, but is still interesting to look at and see how they managed to get 25 tons of plane into the air!

      The F-35 is only similar in appearance and VTOL thrust placement though, since it uses a driveshaft to spin a lift fan while the Yak all used two jet engines to achieve the same frontal lift.

      over 200 A B & C variant jets flying with an approaching 150,000 hour flying time miles tone without crash ... the last generational leap in fighter tech, the F-16 saw over 500 jets lost in just the US Air Force from Mishaps & accidents .. and far too many pilots killed.
      Congress, Senate & the pentagon, spent well over $100 BILLION in 'over budget' funding to try and fix it (the F-35A is just $4 Billion over budget) and many pilots just quit the USAF on learning they'd have to fly the "electric lawn dart".
      The F-35 JSF programme suffered from mismanagement early on, but was fixed and made a responsible programme under the helm of Gen. Bogdan... who was solely responsible in the ridiculous 2nd engine programme being cancelled for the F-35 JSF... he knew and was familiar with the boondoggle of the F-16's 2nd engine, and knew that the JPO and the tax payer could not afford to be so reckless or wasteful with money, time & resources.
      To date, the entire JSF (A, B & C) programme has 1 lost air frame due to gross human error, a fire consumed 3/4 of a jet after the ground crew chief twice signed off on having done the engine break-in period & tests, while NOT HAVING DONE SO ... in response, the JPO designated that P&W be responsible for all US inventory jet's engine break-ins, and a fix be made to prevent a fire if an engine be installed and run at full power without the break-in period again.
      They're operating successfully overseas, despite a spare parts shortage (common in aviation programmes, the JSF is not unique there), and the technology is proven itself from tranche 2B to 3F in green flag, red flag, and the 'knight & entry exercises domestically.
      having flown the B & A models since 2013 over the standard networked setup of Three PAC-3 air defense batteries without detection or simulated loss, INCLUDING the 2015 & 2016 PAC-3 test, utilizing the F-35B flight attached to RedFlag, with the PAC-3 operators directing the F-35B's (pair of 2 & singular) to fly how/when/where overhead.
      During these exercises, the legacy F/A-18C/E, AV-8B, F-16CD, & A-10 suffer 2/3rds losses to simulated air defences & 98% detection rates.
      In no survey group of the 'blue' ground forces, could they tell the difference between F-35B/A or Legacy Close-Air support fire missions. in any year. With the F-35A & B having flown 95.5% success rates in 'Flag exercises so far.
      --------------
      Should the JSF have occurred? dunno ... without a STOVL jet, the trillions of dollars in the USMC gator carrier fleet would have needed an entire war fighting doctorine rethink & change ... and they would have NEVER have gotten an independently developed jet.
      ... the fiscal costs of the F-35 ABC JSF programme & JPO are TRILLIONS less than the cost to change the force structure of the US Navy.... and the delay in the final operating service guise is FIVE DECADES FASTER than building new ships.
      ... so with everything, there's PRO's and CON's ... especially when creating a new generation & a never done before technology.... which, last time, resulted in the F-16 ... over 500 jets lost, too many pilots killed and $100 billion more than the F-35A in overbudget funding

    Well clearly you haven't watched SpaceX land a rocket booster before.

    Regarding the F-35, you mention the pilot has a "VR helmet allowing him to see through the plane..."
    This innovation is not VR - virtual reality - but rather AR - augmented reality

    Despite the good stealth of the F-35, one Israeli F-35 was hit by an S-200 missile.
    How is that possible?

      N BOR without AWACS support, an F35 has to turn on its own radar sensors, which is like turning on a big beacon for anything with a passive radar system. The trillions of dollars of stealth make it a bit of a pig in the sky compared to some gen 4 fighters too, French Rafales beat F35 (or F22 I can’t remember) at Red Flag training exercise quite a few times a think. The US have stopped inviting them now...

      Stealth isn't invisibility. It's more like camouflage.

    I feel like VTOL aircraft are the future of aviation, as they don't need a big area for takeoff and landing, meaning in military terms they can deploy from almost anywhere. Hide one in a barn, then just roll it out on the field and takeoff. It would render airfield bombing almost obsolete. But what would have been a huge and impressive development would be big aircraft (Like transport planes) able to VTOL.

    I don't know if he said it in real life, but I love Neil's quote after ejecting from the VTOL tester in First Man - "We need to fail down here so we don't fail up there."
