- Four 617 Squadron jets landed on HMS Queen Elizabeth in the North Sea. Full story here: www.navylookou...
The F35s began initial pilot qualification period right away. The jets will then exercise defending carrier group by maintaining combat air patrols (CAP), launching and flying strike missions on simulated land targets and being held on deck to launch at very short notice. This is the first complete deployment of 617 Squadron on the ship.
Compared to the Harrier, which was best described as performing a “controlled crash” on landing, the F-35 is so stable and easy to land, pilots can apparently perform landings hands-free. The technology is incredible. Love the RAF from across the pond! And LOVE the new carriers!
Why don't the F-35's take off using vertical thrust? Seems like they wouldn't need a runway then
@@robertwilson3866 would have to be a much smaller payload.
@@robertwilson3866 Because fuel, vertical take-off takes far more fuel than vertical landing.
@@robertwilson3866 it only needs a really short runway. thus doesnt need the catapult in most carriers
She's an awesome ship. Respect for the Royal Navy from the United States
Great to see F-35 performs as advertised. The jet gives navies the opportunity to have fully battle ready jet even without a CATOBAR system.
I have flown the A version demonstrator at Lockheed in 2008. I saw the potential in the aircraft then. Even Lockheed was unsure if the technology would mature in time before it needed to be in the hands of our warfighters. We pushed hard in every area and here we are today. It’s not perfect, but we are getting to a point of reliability that is on par with the legacy airframes we are retiring.
Not to mention the high production rates are causing the stealthy F-35 to fall in price even below our current 4++ generation of jet fighters. The net-centric F-35 will be so useful into todays high threat air defense environments.
respect the Royal Navy from Japan

Yes 🙂
That's great!
Love to see that our Royal Navy is finally starting to restore it's naval might with the new carriers. The F-35's on the deck look amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yeah rule Britannia
Real clean setup, all first rate, all high qualify stuff on board. Its finally coming together.
Interesting how there is no yellow paint on the decks.
Talk about all nice, shiny and new. Really nice!
Respect and admiration from an old U.S. navy vet.
I find it a bit ironic that U.S. Marines will fly the AV-8B Harrier II until sometime in 2023.
The F35 makes landing look easy. Amazing technology.
Just to underscore what a massive improvement this is over the Harrier, the F-35B can do everything a Harrier can and more and better while literally carry more than the whole empty weight of a Harrier in weapons
I like the British flag inside of the lift fan cover. Imagine the US Navy and British Navy combined, it would be unstoppable.
Great to see what the Royal Navy is doing. Privileged to be able to see from Australia.
Hello Nancy... How are you doing today.?
And I hope you do stay safe due to the pandemic over there.?
As a Brit - they need to get those F-35s though. The US carriers bristling with them.
Beautiful F-35Bs & HMS Queen Elizabeth!
As an American I think its awesome to see the Royal Navy increase its power at sea.
as an american you should be proud to sell that shit to others... nice move

Not sure why you're so hostile. I love the UK, its history and especially the Royal Navy.

Love and respect to GB from the USA.

I appreciate the looks of HMS Queen Elizabeth as time goes on.
As an American let me say I'm proud to see these 2 new carriers of the UK. And I'm proud to have my roots and heritage with Great Britain. I'm also proud of the English Speaking Peoples of the world. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, England, Scotland, and America. We have always stuck together when the chips were down (except for Ireland who wouldn't lend a hand when we were fighting for our lives in WW2. Don't care much for her). May your two new carriers live long and proud.

Great to see our British allies with their new carriers and F-35's!
new carrier ?
She’s a beaut. She’ll outclass anything in the sky, short of an F-22 Raptor.
Look at how few people are required on deck to operate compared to a catapult system. Amazing.
It has advantages but its main disadvantage is combat range.
@@bighands69 Still, the F35B has comparable range to F18's used currently by USN.
@@DanM012324it takes more fuel to takeoff with the VTOL hence why a catapult is preferred
@@aztronomy7457however the ski jump allows the F35 to have an increased payload either (fuel or weapons) compared a flat deck used by the US Marines still not as good as the F35-C however if you compare it to the harrier it is much better
In worrying times like this for our country, watching these lads strut their stuff makes me feel proud of our country again! God bless our armed forces!

So excited for UK from US. It looks great!
Long ago, there was separation from the crown, warfare and the founding of a new country. It's really wonderful to see Americans and British jointly working together years later for a common defense and for the good of both nations, militaries and peoples.
Who is watching this video in 2021?
The ground crew look like they are having the time of their lives directing those jets!!!
And again an almost perfect day in the North Sea let's see that in November
For the photo ops, it is great.
I do however want to see some videos in the WORST possible weather. Seeing fighter jets and crews work in the most nasty weather really shows their mo jo.
And I want to see a few night time landings - again with heavy rain, and water sloshing all over the place.
But, ok, for the photo ops? Yes, nice clear weather is like a simple cup of tea. So far, everything looks so silly easy. Perhaps that is a good sign - but I want the nasty weather video roll please!
@@Albertkallal 96
How are you doing today
Such slow takeoffs and stability while hovering over sharp changes in elevation (from sea to carrier) is impressive.
Yeah, very different from our planes back home. 🇺🇸
The F-35B and the aircraft carriers with no catapult system are so wrong for the UK navy. These fighters will never carry armament as equal as those F-35C fighters and their range is inferior as well.
I love Royal Navy from India🧡🇮🇳🙏🏾
The UK provided the Harrier. We took it in the USMC for decades. Hopefully the UK got a price cut on the F-35.

The British Harrier didn’t have like five or six open hatches to allow for VTOL ! It simply rotated the exhaust outlets, what genius. But of course, the Harrier does not have reheat or the speed of an F-35.
in the rules of engineering, there are many tradeoffs.
Or the stealth features.
One cannot help but think the USA would be well off getting a few QEC carriers. Building it using one of the Bechtel A1B reactors that the USS Ford utilizes for power could make sense. By doing this but using CATOBAR, and one reactor instead of two like the USS Ford, costs would be greatly reduced while the ship could use all of the aircraft of a Ford class. That reactor would provide the ship with 200-300 MW of electricity and unlimited range at a greatly reduced price than the Ford class.
Even a few ships just as the QEC are would greatly improve the Marines capabilities, but the single reactor version with CATOBAR would allow the navy to affordably keep more carriers active
Most US still require CATOBAR system for full weapons load.

@ The people in white are (mainly) civilians looking after technical matters on the ship during its first ship and flight trials.
One of them died soon after filming from cancer.
Now we need to build more surface ships, 6 destroyers and 13 frigates just aren't enough
Hate u
The Russians " hahaha we can easily see you giant aircraft carrier" Royal Navy...." Ah but can you see the aircraft?" 🤔😏
It's not the Russian navy that Britain needs to worry about. The Chinese Navy is simultaniously constructing at least 6 destroyers, multiple amphibious assault ships and carriers. I wouldnt want to be the Royal navy if it intends to sail in the South China Sea, especially considering the mutual tension arising from political differences on Hong Kong.
John Munro it’s all well everyone being hung ho and flag waving but what you are looking at is an expensive target populated by one of the most bug ridden American aircraft ever produced. In a WW3 situation this ship and its planes would be destroyed really quickly by a few Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. This vessel will only be any good against a below par enemy. They say the Generals are always fighting the last war. In this case the Admirals are too. Carriers are now in truth like battleships in WW2 .....obsolete!
The Navy knows it too.

When we go up the ramp all us plane drivers go “weeeeeeeeeeeeee”
Cause now we just press the TAKE OFF button it gives us loads more time to do all the stuff not involved in doing the actual plane driving part.
One guy actually crashed his plane when he forgot to press the “TAKE OFF” button. Too busy counting down an giggling going weeeeee off the ramp an he forgot to drive the plane.
He lived and now is the boss for all the plane drivers.
They have now developed a stealth fuel drop tank and pylon. Meaning F-22s and these can go deep…….deep into places and chew up lots of things.

Amazing landing
That is a gorgeous aircraft, but I am still a sucker for the sea harrier.
I hope that in the near future Royal Navy will convert its Carriers to CATOBAR configuration for EMALS.
This will allow Royal Navy's Carriers to Operate Aircraft like E-2D Hawkeye for long range ISR roles.
Royal Navy also needs to consider invest in SSKs to boost its Underwater fleet.
SSKs are good for protection & Surveillance of local waters.
SSNs are good for International power projection.
SSBNs are only for Nuclear deterrence.

Thanks
Okay experts...why do the fighter have the hatch, flap or whatever the term is, up during takeoff? If the weather is more rough don't you fear to lose it?
That is quite a sight...prayers to you all on board.
Seeing these F35s taking off from the QE carrier brings back memories of the Sea Harriers taking off from the Ark Royal on their way to pound Argentinian targets during the Falklands war.
And HMS Invincible
HMS Ark Royal wasn't complete at the time of the Falklands War
I always argued they were no substitute for the Typhoon... Until I realised they aren't supposed to be.
Apples and oranges - the F-35 is a support aircraft, and it fits that role nicely.
It’s to replace the Tornado GR4. Tempest is the typhoon’s replacement.
Beautiful F-35's!
So cool I’d give anything to have a ride in a f35
“They hung in the air, exactly the way that bricks don’t.”

@Blob B isnt that the space shuttle?
The Royal Navy akin to a Vogan constructor fleet? Surely not when it comes to dealing with red tape...?
@Blob B compared to most modern jets it does fly with all the grace and elegance of a brick tho. It can't even stand up to the F-16 in a close range dogfight.
That being said, it doesn't need to be good at close range dogfighting though. That's the whole point of the F-35, it can pick anything else short of the F-22 off from a distance, before it's even detected
@@d.thieud.1056 That was 10 years ago at this point, operating under a flight law that was deliberately highly restricted. It no longer applies; the F-35 can beat anything in the sky including the F-22 at this point; it's a ridiculously effective stealth fighter with high-alpha performance comparable to the absolute best of the fourth generation. God help anyone who goes up against an F-35, because the laws of physics sure won't.
