- Ever wondered how the F-35B can take off and land vertically? In this video, we dive into the fascinating lift fan system that makes it possible. Learn about the three main components - the lift fan, roll posts, and 3-bearing swivel nozzle - and how they work together to provide the necessary thrust. Discover the impressive capabilities of the F-35B and how it achieves a total of 40,000 pounds of thrust when hovering. Don't miss this exciting explanation of advanced aviation technology!
Dude if i was an engineer on the f35b i would be absurdly proud of myself
Harrier jump jet: 😐😐😐
Lol it was done a long time ago by the British for the harrier
@@chadyilmaz68 it was done differently and so what? doesn't mean this isn't an achievement
Yak 38?
@@chadyilmaz68entirely different engine
All that and it’s still stealth 😎
the F-35A has stealth capabilities the B does not.
@@giftpowder1281all F-35 versions are stealth
@@giftpowder1281Hey bud, your stupid is showing
What kind of stealth technology does he have. Stealth coating or aircraft material?

No, I've never wondered, which is why I watched this video 3 times. Appreciate the video, honestly. Thank you.

@@pattycsgowhy the lift fan was off can u tell me
I love that the whole reason it has VTOL is because the Marine corps basically said "if you are taking our harrier jets the new one better hover"
What an engineering marvel that thing is.
i love the F35B
Msfs F35 is just wow. I actually hated the F35 until I decided to try it out and boy do I have a massive crush on this thing now.
Such a cool plane
One of the great engineering feats of humans to date!!
The Harriet was so cool. F-35b is on another level.
Out of the book, nice tech
Imagine if they make a jet that look like Windblade.
Amazing video!
Great engineering.
All I want for Christmas is a F-35B. 😂
in this video why the lift fan was off during landing and takeoff can u tell me pls when it is used
@@gauravborana27 think bro
For home defense of course! 🇺🇸💪
Hes just hovering there....menacingly!
hail USA i will always love you
That's a cool looking Harrier
😂
It's a masterpiece
Maintenance must be sketchy
Nope
Same thing with the AV-8B.
Yes this is risky. Very risky.
All VTOL capable aircraft have higher maintenance, but it allows to deploy them on smaller ships.
Why
It was a long and problem filled journey to get here.
OMG that's a lot of fuel !!!
Wish i made this.
fun fact: Yakolev was the first one to make a sistem like this, a "early/protoype version" with the Yak-38, and the ACTUAL thing with the Yak-41, whom's blueprints and such were sold to lockheed, meaning russia quasi-created the jet they fear the most
Lockheed financed the latter part of the development of the Yak 141 in a partnership with Yakovlev because funds had run out and they needed help to further development so in exchange for helping with development Lockheed acquired the design of the 141 when Yakovlev scrapped the design.
However, McDonnell Douglas had the Harrier II out in 1978 when the Yak-141 didn't take its first flight until 1987. So it's not like the US was new to STOVL aircraft when the 141 came around.
I don’t think anyone would fear the F35 if it wasn’t stealth.
@saturatedsausage7398 If STOL is what the Russians feared, the Harrier would be just as scary. But no one fears the Harrier because it isn’t stealth and isn’t going to be dodging 6 Stinger in a row while hovering about like in MW2(2009) (that Team Death Match round on Overpass was ridiculous). The Russians fear the F35 purely for stealth and electronic warfare capabilities, it will NEVER use hover in actual combat.
@@Trainboy1EJRno one plans for it to hover in combat
How long has it taken Russia to beat Ukraine?
Putin was supposed to sack Kiev in three weeks.
Crazy how more complex it is than the harrier
Like you understand 😂
Putting it like that, the older F series sounds better for general use. That's a ton of wasted force to stress the jet out and a lot of delicate extra moving parts
It's probably going to be sweet for high rusk high reward special ops though if it's used in limited capacity
The F35 is starting to win me over....
Here before this blows up
Stfu, nobody says that anymore
Corny
Based on the patents bought from Yak (specifically the Yak-141)
That is true we rip that off from the Russians
@@waynefletcher9884no… Lockheed Martin made it, but at the time Lockheed was partnered with Yakelov and gave them the designs
@@python3215 bought out*
The grandson of a Yak 141.
No relation. The F-35B is American and actually made it past the prototype stage and into the fleet. Yak-141 is Soviet era tech that only had four prototypes built before being cancelled.
Point being: F-35B isn't Soviet era junk.
whatever. it never realized.
YAK 141 blue print bought by Lockheed Corporation in 1991 when Lockheed were experimenting the X35.The Soviet at that time were CIS before turned the name to Russians.
Who is the son?
@@everestshadow the X 35... You can goggle Wikipedia...when lockheed bought YAK 141 blue print from the colapsed Soviet Union in 1991.
Merica ❤
What was the point of the vtol system????we alr have catapult systems
The 'smaller' LH type carriers that the US Marine Corps operate from, (USS Tarawa, USS Beleau Wood, USS Saipan, etc) don't have catapults on their flight decks.
Because the ships I've mentioned, also carry several US Marine 'Helo' (Helicopter) Squadrons, and Harrier jump-jet Squadrons. Those Harrier Squadrons are being trsnsitioned to the 'B' (Marine) version of the F-35 multi-role Strike Fighter.
@@WalterDWormack214 thank you, also well said.
The heat dissipation system..
Ultimate engineering feat?
They have special coating for the plane and carrier deck
What about its maximum load weight?
40000lbs
It literally said in the video
That's the coolest jet out it looks like a Lamborghini 🙂
Wow not like its done before
You know, I have been told that the F-35B can't handle a carrier landing, but the way they land and just get close to the ground and then drop, that's bull. The airframe, landing gear, that's all got to be reinforced to the point that it can withstand a carrier landing, let's be honest. Now, I don't know about it having a tail hook, but at the very least I'm pretty sure it could handle a carrier landing otherwise
It can handle a carrier landing, it just vertically lands on a carrier.
How is the f35b engine a modded version of the f35a and f35c. Did they make c before b?
They were all developt at the same time
I am big fan of f 35!!! No pun intended😂😂😂!
Olny issue is that it uses more fuel then In take off and landing mode because it uses more thrust and fuel
Your source? "Trust me bro' " 😂😂😂
@@bogdancondicaru7848 idk mabye I know more about F35s engineering and stats then you would ever know in 10 years take the back seat kid
Again. Source: "trust me bro".
Or you don't comprehend what source mean?
@@shockem9786can’t spell, and can barely form a coherent sentence, but you’re claiming to be knowledgeable about aerospace engineering
The fictional Retro Encabulator device, which uses six hydrocoptic marzel vanes and an ambifacient lunar wane shaft to prevent unwanted side fumbling.
0:26 it produce?
Check out the RAF Harrier, it's done VTOL for decades without the trash can lid behind the pilot.
Can it do this while maneuvering for a shot
It won’t ever need to but probably
Soviet technology, the Yak-141 have the same VTOL system design.
The F35 VTOL came from the YAK141, pretty sure the design was bought by lockheed or the CIA
Lockheed, who were already developing the X35, teamed up with Yak as Yak didn’t have the money to continue developing the 141.
just like Yak-38 and Yak-104 then
where are they ?
How is the fan powered
Its an engine itself. Which is why the F35 is very fat and guzzles fuel like no tomorrow.
@@chocolat-kun8689nope. It's driven by a shaft connected to the rear engine.
@@yourlocalretard5893 But it still does burn fuel like a dynamite fuze.
@@chocolat-kun8689 That's what fighter jets tend to do
@@chocolat-kun8689 it actually doesn't. It burns about 85-100 pounds of jet fuel per minute while, for example, F-16 is closer to 125-135 pounds.
There’s an F35B VTOL, with F35A landing gears, no wonder it snapped off. How about putting on F35C landing gears. They did it for the AV- 8B
All this tech and they still managed to lose the thing 😂
Doesn’t that just confirm it has good stealth
Sea harrier be like: 🍷 🗿
Can the f35 use the afterburner when using VTOL?
Question... why?
@@doopboop8359 true...
Would probably throwoff center of thrust.
You know the uk don’t play 🇬🇧
IT'S A GENIUS MADE AIRCRAFT, AND MUCH MORE STABIL THAN THE ENGLISH HARRIER IT'S IS LIKE BALANCE ON A KNIVE.
🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰 COPENHAGEN ❤️🇩🇰❤️ DENMARK 🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰.
The F35 VTOL capabilities were also made by the English
@@FullThrottleRacing535 But designed by the americans.
@@amppari_234 the parts that do the VTOL were designed by rolls royce, a Uk company
More than enough to lift your mom.
I swore he was gonna say that.
I hate it when I bang my three bearing swivel nozzle, into my roll posts!
Is this the most expensive variant?
Yes. it is the less needed variant and also most complex version.
VERY CRUMBLESOME
Wonder how much an hour to fly compare to the F-35
I want a lift fan to attach to my house and get me the hell out of here..
Oh they made it after the GTA 5 plane
You can't be serious lol
@@bitchfitgamer3726 if they fly it upside down they can still float if they hold the reverse mode,
@@daniellopezz1955 what drugs are you on, since there must be a briefcase full of em to even begin to think that would work
@@bitchfitgamer3726 😂😂
Yea you are right. GOD model the whole world after GAT5.
So what I dont understand is how the lift fan produces 20,000lb thrust in addition to 20 from the rear nozzle for the total of 40 when the F135 in military power can only produce around 29,000? In full reheat it can produce just over 40 but that boost is only at rear nozzle. So can someone help me and explain how is the lift fan making 20 (I accept that it must to balance the thrust front to rear and have enough to lift the aircraft but I sont know how). Is it just highly efficient and uses gearbox to optimise mass flow at a very narrow and known operating window (hover at sea level basically) to generate thrust much more efficiently that the engine core can manage over the wide operating range that it has to tolerate?
in this video why the lift fan was off during landing and takeoff can u tell me pls when it is used
@@gauravborana27 the lift fan will be on. I think what you are probably seeing though are the variable geometry guide vanes on top of the lift fan assembly which don't rotate making it appear like the lift fan is not spinning but the assembly beneath will be rotating
@@becauseiwasinverted7971 are u sure that lift fan is under geometry just asking? is it true?
@@becauseiwasinverted7971 i saw it its a titanium fan not geometry i would glad if u could help me figure this out
@@gauravborana27 the top blades you can see at the inlet are stationary inlet guide vanes which can have variable geometry with respect to pitch to change volume of air entering the lift fan I expect. There will also be variable geometry at the exhaust side of the lift fan.
I bet you have never seen a harrier jet.
It’s not VTOL on the f35b but it’s called STOVL
Technically it's STOVL/VTOL. It has the ability to take off vertically however, it reduces the max takeoff weight significantly. You'd only ever see a vertical take off at air shows because it would lose armament capability. So for military purposes it is STOVL only.
Its vtol after using all bombs/missiles
👍 ❤❤❤❤
Harrier has single engine is better but unable to give shape for stealth feature. More engines will have more chance of mechanical problem.
What if the pilot weighs 9000 pounds, can it not take off?
Is your pilot Thor?
@@Dr.KarlowTheOctolingyes
that one guy in VRchat servers
this jet will kill anything before it knows it was even there.
STOVL
not very fuel efficient but its is vtol capable
@@DarkIzo Not by design. There was no KPP requirement for the JSF to be capable of vertical takeoff. The fact that the F-35B can is simply gravy. Correct acronym is STOVL not VTOL.
Thats where my taxes go to😮
Harrier did it
Voodoo one viper on station your journey ends here pilot the skies belong to me
Uçan kaplumbapa
The f-35b can still has an afterburner
Yeah the F-35B’s MTOW is 60,000 lbs not 32,000
“And the harrier can do it with one engine”
F35 only has one engine
Stop comparing this to the harrier, last time I checked the harrier is not a stealth fighter.
Dose loook like a helicopter but its a jet fighter
Favorite jet in bf4
Good times. Better than the SU-50.
The plane is lagging
The 'hover' is only performed when the 'bird' is totally 'stripped' of armaments, no missles, or bombs.
That's incorrect, it hovers for landing after expending most of its fuel after a mission. F-35B's routinely land on marine assault carriers with armaments.
Omfg....why would they make this..I have to maintain this .there are sooooo many pieces...
They did this in case of war
That and because they can they have "infinite" money.
Oh no you have to do your job how horrible.
@@Its_shiki_time4876how about you try to do it then? As if you have an actual job
im proud where my taxpayer dollars go!
This doesn't work with any payload for vertical landing and take off.
It will still be able to land after it has used fuel / munitions. Also this was the same as with the Harrier...
Damn the F-35 doing what AV-8B did decades ago
ThE aV-8b DiD tHiS dEcAdEs AgO.
But does the Harrier have afterburner and stealth capabilities? No. It does not.
@@pootmahgoots8482but its gear doesnt snap every landing
@@panoraxe neither does the F-35's though
@@user-xh9pu2wj6bit kinda does…
@@panoraxe also doesn't flip upside down killing the pilot
It doesn’t actually use vtol, it’s something else that imitates it, I forgot what it’s called
it is vtol capable.
@@FullThrottleRacing535 it can only do short take off and vertical landings not full vtol, only landing
To be more accurate it is an STOVL
It can take-off vertically, just with a limited weight of 32,000 tons. In most situations, it is best to use Short-take off in order to use the full 60,000 lbs of take-off mass.@@Unmatchedpowerofthesun
bo2 becoming real
Harrier>F-35( i have a bunch of respect for the engineers on the f-35 but i still think the harrier is superior)
Superior, how exactly?
@@Fleshox19-uz3qt it only needs one engine to power it’s VTOL and it hasn’t been proven in combat yet. Also the harrier invented the technology in the 60’s, and the F-35 was made in the late 2010’s.
@@someonewhoexists1 However, the F35 has superior range, weapon load out, designed to fly with drones and is networked with all theatre assets.
I know when Hawker Harrier came out and for years I watched it dance as a kid at the Biggin Hill airshow.
Interesting.
The f35 is superior in every way
The A and C don't have the biggest payload in the world , what does that fan do to payload?
Well from what I’ve heard it can only land vertically and it has short take off not vertical take off
It can take-off vertically, but only with 32,000 lbs. In short take-off mode it can weigh 60,000 lbs,
God bless America 🇺🇲🦅
Note that the fans take up 66% of the internal fuel storage, and external tanks disable stealth
So im not sure why the F35B was created, but it is cool
I realize this is a month old post, but ive got an answer to your question.
The f35b is designed to support amphibious landings. It has a combat radius of 500 km with a strike loadout, thats 4 1k lb jdams and 2 amraams.
Compare that to a super hornet with a 390km range with 4 jdams, two sidewinders, 2 1800 liter tanks, and targeting pods.
The f35b has more range, more maneuverability, and more speed than the f18 with comparable load-outs, while using less fuel.
Your number is wrong. The f35b loses 33 percent of its fuel capacity compared to the f35c and only 25 percent of its capacity compared to the f35a.
External fuel not only ruins stealth, it also severely impacts speed, acceleration, turn rates, etc. for example a clean f16 can do 9g turns all day, but it cant pull more than 6 gs with the above loadouts. The f35b can pull 7 gs with any internal weapons load out. This is because theres no drag, the weapons don’t effect wing loading, and the weapons are carried center of mass.
@@Typexviiib huh interesting
But its an extremely expencive deveopment project
Lets hope its worth all that effort
Can it shoot balloons?
Only if it's made in china
Patterned after the British HARRIER Jump jet
bruh it's like the soviet yak 38 but i came first
while the av 8 harrier has only 1 engine
F35B only has one engine. The downward front lift fan is driven by a driveshaft from the main engine, it’s not a separate jet engine.
Make a hornet
STOVL not VTOL
What is the difference? Just curious...
@@TopHatProductions115 stovl is where it takes off with the engine at a 45 degree angle to require less runway space. it is done to carry more weight on takeoff. however the f35 is still capable of vtol where it takes off straight up like a helicopter.
@@TopHatProductions115 VTOL stands for Vertical TakeOff and Landing, but it cannot takeoff vertically. STOVL stands for Short TakeOff and Vertival Landing.
F-35B is NOT VTOL. it is STOVL and has no capability to takeoff vertically with weapons
"Not vtol"
'Cant vtol with weapons"
no
I love everything about the new F-35B except for one thing, I don’t like the way that the main flap directly behind the pilot when it opens up facing forward. Seems to me that the aeronautical engineering department should have turned it facing towards the rear. Because you’re going to go forward correct? It’s the same principle on your vehicle, if you’re going forward and the hood fly’s up, what’s going to happen? Same thing applies to the JSF. It will still get the same exact amount of air to the fan motor, except it won’t look so retarded when you’re going forward
1. It's not going to go fast
2. Even if it was, it is going to scoop more air this way
3. Looks aren't the key. This is not architechture, this is engineering.
Nevertheless i think it looks way better this way.
@@amppari_234 ok
Sounds easy to lose
