- AV-8B Harrier II Showing the Insane Jump Over Aircraft Carrier. The AV-8B Harrier II is the U.S. military’s only short takeoff, vertical landing jet aircraft in current inventory. 22,000 pounds of thrust enable the Harrier II to hover like a helicopter, and then blast forward like a jet at near-supersonic speeds.

I am a Brit and remember years ago a Harrier flying over the sea had a fuel leak problem and could not make it back to land. The RAF pilot spotted a small cargo ship and landed the Harrier on top of a shipping container on the ship. If I remember correctly they discovered afterwards that he only had seconds of fuel left.
Alraigo Incident
30 seconds left I believe
@@strikeballs7653 English, dude, English.
Wow! That’s incredible! I’m surprised I haven’t seen this in a movie yet.,
I remember being up at Otterburn with Army Cadets and seeing one of these land in a clearing barely bigger than the plane.
The pilots who work on Carriers have my absolute respect. How they manage to land in the dark in rough weather when the ship is rising and falling with the waves is just incomprehensible to me, especially when there are planes behind them, so they have to get it right the first time. They are amazing pilots.
The ship is also moving forward as well as rocking left to right as well as forward and aft.
Not disagreeing with the core point, but aircraft carriers have some insane levels of gyroscopic stabilization to make the flight deck as stable as possible. And I imagine there's some technology onboard the planes too to help to an extent.
@@StuartCuthbertson trust me, not that stable, it rocks you like crazy when the sea is rough
I was lucky enough to see these when I was in the marine corps and we'd go to mcas cherry point for an op, seeing these take off vertically in real life is totally awesome, hands down my most favorite fighter jet.
I'm an old lady in Alaska and I'm so impressed. This is from like STAR Trek to me.
My late husband and I had a 172 Cessna that would get up to 80 miles an hour with good wind.
This is incredible and I am very proud of you all.
These planes are like 30-40 years old.
@@Synic08 bro shes from alaska and probably has just finally cut her way out of the wilderness give her some slack... probably had to kill a bear or some shit too you never know.
British invented and saw effective active service in the south atlantic commanding the skies in dog fights with the Argentine airforce.
@@Synic08 Better than that . This plane was a 1964 Special Edition. Complete with ash trays and carpet. Only 1 owner when we bought in 2010. We took the carpet out so we could fly moose meat back to Kotzebue without a mess. Glorious days😁👍

Harriers kick ass!!!

Wow man oh man that shot as the blast from all the thrust hitting the ocean's surface. Incredible design & vision from well over 50 years ago, like science fiction back then. Thanks for posting that awesome vid 🙏👌👏
Incredible.. awesome...combining both rotary and fixed wing flying.
Rotary ?
The Harrier will always be my favorite aircraft.
Hi Pete
@@planemod8399 Hi buddy
In 1971 we started the AV8A squadron VMA-513 in Beaufort South Carolina! What a beast of an aircraft! We would practice carrier landings and take offs in rhe Atlantic on the USS GUAM. What a experience that was!!
Hey, I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point - not too awfully far from there. Of course, I'd graduated from MCRD Parris Island just a few years earlier. Semper Fi, Devil Dog.....
I got to see this at an air show in Duluth, MN back in 2012 - powerful!
Always impressive and incredible to watch. So much respect to the skills of these pilots!
Those are badass jets... Can land and take off almost anywhere.. There my favorite plane...
British !!
"They're"
In 1970 I was in a British Royal Engineers troop laying landing pads and building camouflage hides in West Germany - as was - for the original Harrier squadron of the Royal Air Force. From the almost tiny originals to these amazing aircraft is fascinating to see.
I have a quick question what were your thoughts on the YAK 38 the soviet VTOL jet
Poached and copied tech....
My father was on the USS Enterprise in the 60s when he was only 18. He did 3 tours in Vietnam. I fell in love with this jet from his picture slides and stories of the Harrier. I miss him so much. Semper Fi Dad! And thank you for your service! I appreciate all those that are serving and have served as well. Happy 4th !
Thank him for his service!@@What11235

I was a 6095 Av8b Airframes Mechanic stationed at Mcas Cherry Pt. Vmat-203 from 88 to 91. Those was some good times
Still to this day, the loudest noise I've ever encountered. Standing in the hanger deck with an AV-8 landing above us. You can't yell loud enough to someone standing next to you for them to understand what you're saying. All conversations are put on pause until that Harrier touches down. Insane amount of power coming out those thrusters.
Seeing a Harrier, it brings back memory in my younger days....WTI....ring a bell...
MCAS Yuma? I deployed there for WTI in '79 from MCAS Cherry Point. H&MS-32 Ordnance. Our USMC Harrier community was small and tight.
Had the pleasure of watching a couple of these run training exersizes over and next to my camp while on a field op. Cool as hell...until you want to sleep in your tent lol. They are LOUD
55 year old technology.
Stunning.
Perfect British engineering.
Nice to see the US still keeping the aircraft going.

Unfortunately we don't have much industry left, and the Gov't are busy finishing the rest of it off. I'm proud what we achieved back in the day.
The first time I saw this type of aircraft was when I was station at the MCAS cherry point, NC. 1982.The demonstration they displayed was incredible. Awesome aircraft. As an Aircraft Firefighter and Rescue Specialist MOS 7051. My knowledge and experience with all types of Aircrafts. The Harrier was my favorite of all.

Absolutely amazing aircraft. I never get tired of viewing them. I'd love to ride in one.
How ever better aircraft has come, I just love the sea Harriers ...best bird on the deck. ❤

I was a yellow shirt on the USS Tripoli (LPH-10, 1990-1994) and got to launch some of these. Powerful aircraft. Fun times.
I will never forget the first time I saw a Harier it was at a Virginia Beach airship! Jacob and I went... I cried it thrilled me to the point of tears! I absolutely love this machine and it’s is the absolute most thrilling jet in the air!!!
Это вы ещё русские самолеты не видели!
I used to love watching a Harrier fly backwards, forwards, up, down, sideways, hover and bow of course, happy days
I never get used to the way this thing moves. So freaky!😮❤
You should have seen the Avro Vulcan in its heyday. Even just hearing it... Or the English Electric Lightning. Ye Gods, the noise! And they would take off almost vertically.. like an F22, only fifty years earlier.
My experience being near a Harrier jump-jet, defies what I have read about their capabilities !
I was drawn here by the Thumb nail, depicting a Harrier blasting off nearly vertically !
I was in the U.S.M.C. on maneuvers, and we were operating with various support vehicles, the Harrier being one !
I was positioned in some tall Elephant grass, for lack of a better explanation, and I don't remember seeing the plane land, so it very well was on the ground, when I took up position near it !
Too, I just read that the Marines didn't start using Harriers until long after my story ?
As this was in the late 70's !
So unless the Navy was flying support for us then, I can't explain this ?
Anyway after some time setting, the aircraft engine began to start and pretty quickly lifted into the air, did a slow turn to the right of my position, tilted the nose in an upward looking position and throttled up and blasted off like a rocket, nearly straight up !
Until today, I just always thought that the pilot engaged the afterburner, but today I read a post from a guy claiming to be a Flight instructor, and in his description, claimed the plane has no Afterburner ?
But to someone like me, especially at that time, I knew very little about this Aircraft.
But I know my experience !
So now I wonder if I saw the capability of this Aircraft that wasn't disclosed, or isn't widely spoken of ?
To be honest, I have always thought that was one of the coolest things ever !
But now these videos have me questioning my own memories !
And I have carried this with me, more than 40 years !
Weird... !
Lol !
I think it does get red on the engines rear exhaust, I only know from flying in DCS world, lol.. You can fly it in the simulators.. Thanks for serving Salute ~
The most awesome, jaw dropping aircraft EVER. I saw it years ago at RAF Cosford Air show and was speechless when it hovered in front of us, bowed and off it went.
Wait till you experience a TR3B!
A@@aaaaaa
Ты ещё не знаешь ЯК 141
Salute to British engineers, remarkable technology..
Certainly was.
I still don't know why we pensioned them off before the F35B was sorted.
Btw I cannot call them Lightnings because they have no connection with that over-and-under shotgun with a cockpit grafted on it.
The last HMS Ark Royal sailing without an air arm was disappointing to say the least
Yeah, pity we Dave it away
Gave not Dave😂
Pity the tight UK government wouldn't pay the £475.00 to turn it into the badass plane that the Americans have. Talk about 'dropping the ball'.
Same story with jet engine, invented by the British, then given away to anyone who wanted it.
@@g8ymw actually American engineers . The British left the program in1975 the Americans repowered and designed a new wing that made the jet what it is today. The British rejoined the project in 1980, and sold off their share McDonnell Douglas in 2014 . That's why U.S Marines still fly the super harrier on their carriers.
The Harrier and the A-10. Nothing better.
You’ll never beat the harrier
Unbelievable machine 👍
Also responsible for killing more pilots in accidents than any other service aircraft. High time they were all scrapped.
Any air superiority fighter will beat a Harrier any day of the week , sorry....

@@Thememedaddy7 What do you expect from a aircraft when they forget to finish making the tips of the wings? 🤣
These are all skilled workers & elite pilots...breathtaking to watch... stay safe guys...
I grew up not 10 miles from the uks Harrier base at Wittering. Always loved seeing them in the sky and landing over the A1 you felt you could touch them.
I like this more than the F35B.
While there may be faster and more well equipped aircraft, watching a Harrier VTOL aircraft take off and land is like watching an ASMR clip. Mesmerising and hypnotic and gives me goosebumps every single time.
Beautiful.

If you get a chance watch some of the news clips taken during the Argentina War. That is where it proved itself.
Saw the Harrier at the Farnborough air show in 1974 it was the loudest thing I've ever heard. Didn't know the US was still using them.
I believe the f35 is supposed to be it's replacement when they work the bugs out or build large enough force of them to retire the harrier
The Americans still use them but modified them
One of the greatest military planes ever produced; a bomber and a fighter combined - brutish workhorse!
Played it years ago as a flight simulator on my computer. Still one of my favorite aircraft.
😅
Kudos to your father, on his contribution to two fine aircraft!
I’ve got 2500 hours in this aircraft. It was a blast to fly. Was in the the Ace of Spades (VMA-231) twice……the first time we went to Desert Storm.
Are they normally deployed from Carriers?
@@francismarion4450 they are deployed on big deck amphibs. LHA/LHD type ships. No catapults required. 😎
@@robertdeforge6871 I flew a lot of computer combat sims and the Harrier was one of my favorites. I used to love changing the thrust vector in combat to tighten a turn.
My hats off to you since I know I would have been toast in combat. Besides, I hate heights. 😂
@@robertdeforge6871 Very cool, thanks. My Dad was on a Destroyer in Vietnam. I built a Harrier model when i was a kid and I was never sure how they were typically deployed.
I envy you.
Used to refuel these in the raf. Was amazing watching them slowly hover foen the taxiway to land on the short runway
My father worked on the US adaptation of the Harrier at Bendix in the 60s. Being a black man in aerospace back then he did some amazing things. He would tell me real stories like the movie “Hidden Figures”.
Bendix, I remember that Co name. Were once a competitor to us back in the day. Did they make electrical generating systems ?
Amazing things to see in our lifetime. Saw first one at TAFB OK a little over 30 yrs ago lift straight up into the air, fabulous.
Incredible seeing this beautiful machinery hover above the ocean
Insane techniques, takes a true extraordinary pilot to pull this off. Definately not for the faint hearted. Respect
An aircraft so incredibly designed it helped James Dyson make the best vacuum cleaners in the world.
Love Ur channel
He made the shark?? Interesting
You mean leaf blower?😂
this jet was formidable back in it's prime. now it's just an old clunker. there's no way it can take on completely agile drones that can do heavy G's on top of stealth tech.
Yes that's true Dyson did learn from this technolgy : and you'll also notice that Harriers are never launched from a site that has a rug with a fringe.
;-)
the harrier to this day is a remarcable machine
My dad used to work at DeHavalands constructing aircraft back in the 60s, in Portsmouth UK.
The company was then taken over by Hawker Siddley, who went on to produce the Harrier Jump Jets. It’s amazing to see how this plane has been adapted for modern warfare. I know my dad would be extremely proud to see this clip too!
Loving this video, thanks!
Such an amazing aircraft, love it.
A true British master piece right there, first made and devolped in england by Hawker Siddeley.
shame that one has GE engines and not rolls royce ones.
Hawker Hurricane too .. .. you know they had them ready for WWII - as the Russians were joined up with Hitler .. Just wondering what why Russia was not on the target list since they too invaded Poland at the same time as Adolf ..
Nice Technology ..
Developed at Hawker Siddeley's airfield in Woodford. There's now a new housing estate there with a museum and a Vulcan aircraft on display outside. My brother in law lives there go visit folks.
I’ve always thought it to be one of the coolest looking jets.

We experienced the down thrust first hand of the British Harrier jump jet at the British Grand Prix 1980. It drifted across from the woodland briefly, alongside Druid's, and uplifted into the air an amazing amount of Marlboro cigarettes from their stand as the criwd of us hit the deck! Good times.
These have to be the noisiest planes on the planet.
Can’t believe I got to see an F35c demo this year in Westfield, Ma @Barnes. Such amazing tech.
Это потрясающе,я восхищаюсь смелостью и точностью!
An example of British ingenuity and design with the Rolls Royce engine a sublime combination.
While the British were ingeniously designing and building this, some countries were struggling to build mud huts with grass rooves.

@@user-jc6lg4xx2w Ok got your translation now as :
In the USSR, vertical take-off was abandoned in 60, they probably already knew then that the aircraft carrier was a pile of scrap metal.
Well, our Harriers should never have been taken out of service, a brilliant aircraft.

These planes are so freaking badass! My favourite plane ever…
Awesome plane. Love the harriers.
These are modified British aircraft, designed by Hawker. Eventually built in the US to their own requirements.
Just as the P51 Mustang only became an effective fighter when powered by the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. It, too, was then built under licence by the Packard company.
Just thought you should know that.
I spent a career fixing these jets starting with the original AV-8A. Look at the AV-8A and AV-8C against the AV-8B. Other than the basic engine format there is nothing left from the original jet. The original A version was a death trap to fly and a nightmare to maintain. The C was still base A with mainly some upgraded avionics to make it more compatible with the A-4M for better interoperability and maintenance. Do some research on how dangerous the original version were. Just being near the flight line at MCAS Cherry Point during the 70s and early 80s was dangerous! We even had one crash inverted during a hover, travel a 1/4 mile crash thru a hanger taking out aircraft and crashing into a full parking lot. My father in law was the crash crew fire chief at the time. He started calling the pilots crispy critters. The stories are plentiful. I was also on the first NATO deployments of AV-8As on a LPH for a North Atlantic NATO exercise. t the end of the cruise we barely had airplanes that could fly. The engines didn’t last and parts were hard to get. Even the flight control system had a hard time dealing with the aircraft sitting on the desk. Nobody misses the British versions.
They crashed because the yank pilots didn't use the correct procedure for operating the aircraft. Very few crashes when used by the British.
@@oldjarhead386 I don't think you realise that there were three British variants. The original Hawker Siddley Harrier, The Harrier II and the Sea Harrier. The Sea Harrier was developed directly from the original and was easily the best and most combat proven of all Harriers, including the AV-8B. Sorry, but without the original Harrier, there would be no AV-8B and, in any case, the Brits were heavily involved in the development of the AV-8B.
Not really the full story, though? The AV-8B/Harrier II was a joint McDonnell Douglas/Hawker Siddeley (later BAe Systems) project, developing the all-British Harrier 1/AV-8A into a much more capable aircraft. McDonnell Douglas had design and production lead, with BAe as prime subcontractor, since (as has plagued British aircraft development since the war) the US had much deeper pockets and marginally less-useless governments. The British Harrier IIs (with many significant differences to the AV-8B) were all built in England, with McDonnell Douglas as prime subcontractor. The British scrapped their own plans for an advanced Harrier through lack of funding and numbers. The Sea Harrier, so dominant in the Falklands, was an all-British development of the Harrier 1. The Pegasus engine though, like the Merlin, was totally British and all engines for all versions were built in the UK.

Glad to see them in action. Was at a Biggin Hill air fair and they did a demo and a guy put a ring donut onto the antennae thing coming out of the nose. It was hovering about 3 to 4 ft high lol
In '63 and '64, used to watch planes take off from and land on carriers during unreps in the South China Sea off N. Vietnam. I was a radarman on a fleet oiler, USS Ashtabula AO - 51.

Absolutely impressive!!!
VTOL aircraft do also include the V-22. So, the description is incorrect that the Harrier Jump Jet is the only short vertical takeoff aircraft. At the same time, I wish my Dad was alive to see these maneuvers. My Dad was the Lead Engineer on the Harrier for the United States in this joint project with the British. My Dad was Chief of Aerodynamics for Naval Air Systems Command on the V-22 Osprey Aircraft.
The description is correct, this is the only svtol JET, the v-22 is not a jet.
@@B0BThePounder Okay, I can accept that. I looked at it from the point of short takeoff. The Harrier is listed as a jet versus the Osprey which is listed as an aircraft. So, while the Harrier is also a form of aircraft, the V-22 is not a jet, so I can accept that. Thanks! Both were awesome. We had some great pics and models of these from when my Dad worked at NavAir.
@@B0BThePounder what about the F-35B Lightning II? Hasn't that been in service since 2015?
@@xiphosfuhr1917 Ah yes, forgot about this one. Not widely mentioned, always in the shadow of the Harrier it seems. @betsykeller9096 was incorrectly correct lol
Sorry, but the Harrier is a British jet, not a joint project. The AV8B was developed from the original British Harrier and whilst this particular variant was a joint collaboration between the US and UK, you can't deny that the technology and engineering behind it is inherently British. The UK developed their own variant of the original Harrier, called the Harrier II and also the Sea Harrier, which was the fastest Harrier variant and most combat proven of them all.
I have fond memories of playing Harrier Attack on my mighty ZX Spectum 48K
I also had that game on commy 64...
This is one of my most favorite aircraft.
Not bad for a slight improvement on the British harrier that I worked on as an apprentice in 1969 !!!
