Some really wrong comments here - REAL CONTEXT: This was a new plane being test flow at the factory. Officials attributed the incident, which occurred as the aircraft was completing a vertical landing, to a “harmonic resonance” issue involving the jet’s Pratt & Whitney (P&W) F135 powerplant. The pilot ejected. The crash prompted Lockheed to halt flights of newly produced aircraft, and led the US military to ground an unspecified number of F-35s. Additionally, P&W halted F135 shipments to Lockheed, and Lockheed stopped delivering F-35s. On 28 February, P&W vice-president of the F135 programme Jennifer Latka said the engine maker had developed an engine fix, and had started implementing some F-35s with the modification. Two days later, on 2 March, the US military’s F-35 Joint Program Office said the entire F-35 fleet would be retrofitted with the fix despite only “a small number of aircraft” having been affected by the harmonic resonance problem.

First I'm hearing of auto eject (not discrediting it). Do other airframes have that? I don't remember ever learning about it on F-16s.... Unless it's a more recent TCTO
Is that for the B variant only? Seems the Navy C variant would undergo extensive shock from repeated carrier landings and fire off a pilot during rough traps. Just wondering.
That nose pitching down immediately after dusting off following the touch down shows how the landing gear is so shockingly weak and brittle. The nose wheel just snapped off almost at the slightest touch! It looks like a defect in the flight control software. The software was unable to interpret the flight attitude in that moment against pilot control input. Also, the pilot naturally would have throttle down at landing (I think the software overrided his inputs and decided to go max throttle).
For anyone wondering how the hell he screwed that up, I dont remember the exact details but it was some kind of mechanical error that caused him to nosedive which then led to the front gear snapping.
No, testing an ejection seat wouldn't be done with a live human. The forces alone can kill you. I fear this generation man, no critical thinking. Let us use 100's of thousands of dollars in training a jet pilot to turn him into a vegetable and the possibility of death

Fun fact this is a 240,000 decision when you eject (cost of the seat). So the pilot either had a mandatory procedure to do it or considered his or her life in danger.

@@SincereSentinel There is some truth to what you say. The F35 is incredibly expensive (although I would argue only because it is made by an industry that has a corrupt relationship with Congress) and has certainly had a lot of teething problems. However, it is undoubtedly one of, if not THE, most capable air to air fighter in the world. Just about every US military pilot I have heard talking about it says that if you go up against an F35 in a 4th gen fighter you are going to lose. The Osprey had loads of teething problems in its early days, and a deadly accident, but has become a very reliable and trusted platform. I think the same will be true for the F35. Although it should be recognised that for 90% of military conflicts and scenarios the USA will not NEED a stealth F35, so maintaining a large capacity of lesser and cheaper planes (F18) would seem to make a lot of sense.
@@zx7-rr486 The point you made about the F18 I'd definitely agree with. Given that the loss rate during a large scale conflict would not be cost effective whatsoever for the F35, an F18 would have about the same survival rate at a fraction of the cost. They can and are going to detect us if we approach their airspace, it's a guarantee. So an F18 would be nearly as effective in all the other tasks and aspects than that of an F35, just without the added stealth, which again is going to be rendered obsolete regardless in that scenario. So yeah.
An old boss of mine once worked on ejection seat systems. He told me that before he started, some of the earliest designs actually had the pilot ejecting from the bottom of the plane. No longer the case, thankfully.
He probably didn't need to do it judging from the footage, but he was likely afraid the plane was going to flip upside down, or blow up and catch fire, so he took his chances with the ejection seat - which is also very dangerous when you are close to the ground like that.
drastically delayed and overpriced - yes. Failure - no. This thing will shoot down anything in the sky - and that is what the pilots who fly it are saying. There's not a plane in the world that can match its lethality - with the possible exception of the F22. Also, it is the very complex B model with its vertical lift fan that is having most of the issues and accidents. Vertical take off and landing is incredibly challenging and accident prone. The Harrier (both the original UK version and the US copy) was incredibly difficult to fly and suffered a large number of accidents, and yet it was one of the most effective military planes. It won the Falklands War with a 30-0 kill ratio.
@@zx7-rr486 Air Defense systems are cheaper, and more effective than the F-35 can ever be at defeating them. The technology (radar/software) on the newest air defense systems of our main 'adversaries' is ahead of our best multi purpose fighters.

Not even pilot brought it down way too fast realized way too late then you see the engines suddenly pushing a ton of thrust and heat causing it to bounce which the front wheel took fine. It was bouncing the jet like a low rider and it all landing on the front wheel at an angle that causes it to break. Have you seen how slow they land harrier jets? VTOL jets are not a fast landing type thing this pilot may lose his wings with this on camera if he was going to throttle up the engines 2 feet from the ground why the fuh didnt he take off like he should have again and do the landing correct instead hes gonna come down wayy to fast blast his engine hit the ground and think letting off the throttle is gonna cut the engines thrust?! Pffffft he needed more simulation training. You notice the ejection seat didnt go off until the plane was level? And it didnt blow up very good job to the jet and thank god its not a total loss
@@duiveldoder i disagree. As long as someone is recording, it will be known, whether it's in russia or china, due to availability of the internet and social media. The one that did not make it into the news or the internet is the one that fell somewhere far from the populated area. But the same can be said for the US, MIC wouldn't want a bad publication of its arsenal if it can be helped, so you wouldn't hear remote crashes for military equipment either. Recent SU 35 crashing into an apartment in russia is a good example. Cant hide stuff like that in populated areas because someone would always record and upload them. The problem here is the narrative that whatever the eastern nation made is a cheap junk despite having no crash record (at least not as much), but western equipment is super duper advanced space tech which happens to crash occasionally. The reality is that eastern tech is only 5 years behind max for its most sensitive components, not the whole jet. It's nothing more than MIC sponsored myth that western equipment is so advanced it can do miracles. Also stealth tech is getting obsolete due to advancement in chinese/russian radar tech. EDIT: i just re-read the whole thing and the claim is so fantastical i shouldn't have responded in the first place.
And it’s going to cost 3.5 millions to repaint and reset the ejection seat 😮 Hope the pilot is ok, ejections are violent and he hit the ground pretty hard.

Tell us how it's going to move itself far away to the side while not sacrificing additional weight?
That front wheel/frame is SUSPECT, that’s the “second” front wheel collapse this month .
Gives ‘Made in America’ , an ominous ring !
@@duiveldoder "trust me bro"
Not even pilot brought it down way too fast realized way too late then you see the engines suddenly pushing a ton of thrust and heat causing it to bounce which the front wheel took fine. It was bouncing the jet like a low rider and it all landing on the front wheel at an angle that causes it to break. Have you seen how slow they land harrier jets? VTOL jets are not a fast landing type thing this pilot may lose his wings with this on camera if he was going to throttle up the engines 2 feet from the ground why the fuh didnt he take off like he should have again and do the landing correct instead hes gonna come down wayy to fast blast his engine hit the ground and think letting off the throttle is gonna cut the engines thrust?! Pffffft he needed more simulation training. You notice the ejection seat didnt go off until the plane was level? And it didnt blow up very good job to the jet and thank god its not a total loss
The gear didn’t collapse until it was slammed into the pavement
He flipped forward because he landed with considerable forward speed.
@@duiveldoder i disagree. As long as someone is recording, it will be known, whether it's in russia or china, due to availability of the internet and social media. The one that did not make it into the news or the internet is the one that fell somewhere far from the populated area. But the same can be said for the US, MIC wouldn't want a bad publication of its arsenal if it can be helped, so you wouldn't hear remote crashes for military equipment either. Recent SU 35 crashing into an apartment in russia is a good example. Cant hide stuff like that in populated areas because someone would always record and upload them.
The problem here is the narrative that whatever the eastern nation made is a cheap junk despite having no crash record (at least not as much), but western equipment is super duper advanced space tech which happens to crash occasionally. The reality is that eastern tech is only 5 years behind max for its most sensitive components, not the whole jet. It's nothing more than MIC sponsored myth that western equipment is so advanced it can do miracles.
Also stealth tech is getting obsolete due to advancement in chinese/russian radar tech.
EDIT: i just re-read the whole thing and the claim is so fantastical i shouldn't have responded in the first place.
F-35: crashes
This dude after 7 business days: oh, he just crashed.
nice plane, good job america
And it’s going to cost 3.5 millions to repaint and reset the ejection seat 😮
Hope the pilot is ok, ejections are violent and he hit the ground pretty hard.
Thank God he got out! could've probably flipped upside down on pilot.
How?????
