The F-35 is GORGEOUS!
And it's a VTOL!
Well at the time of the cancellation of it cancellation the f22 cost about the same as a base model f35 and would have been set to become cheaper as production was streamlined
+PhantomTiger105 Agreed it's an incredible feat of engineering. Also Harrier and F35 can both vertically take off of they're empty. With combat load they don't do it with either type really as it's too much strain on the engines.
These jets have the best scores, truly incredible technology.
Looking good!!
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFNS)
Years ago, Lt. Col. Brad Bashore flew against the F-22 Raptor as an F-15E Strike Eagle pilot. Now, as an F-35A Lightning II pilot at this year’s exercise Northern Lightning, it was his turn to deliver fire from the clouds.
“It’s not a fair fight, and that’s exactly what we want for our adversaries,” said Bashore, the 58th Fighter Squadron commander. “To be on the offensive side this time and getting a chance to employ (those capabilities), I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s like fighting somebody with their hands tied behind their back.”
Bashore and his wingmen at the 58th FS, which belongs to the 33rd Fighter Wing, have been employing the capabilities of the F-35A, scoring as many as 27 “kills” in a single sortie at Northern Lightning, a large force exercise where fifth- and fourth-generation aircraft engage in a contested, degraded environment.
“I remember the first time I flew against (fifth-generation aircraft),” Bashore said. “It’s a change in mindset because you can’t target anything on your radar because it’s not there, and by the time you do potentially find something, it’s too late and they have already shot you.
“It’s frustrating, but at the same time understanding that it’s our asset is invigorating and gives you a lot of hope for the future as far as how successful this platform is going to be.”
While sharing many similarities with the F-22, the F-35A’s main advantage is its robust suite of sensors that give it the ability to process and share information with other players in the battlespace. These capabilities make the F-35A more lethal and survivable than any legacy aircraft, and eliminate any safe space for the enemy to hide.
“We took off out of Madison (to join the fight),” said Lt. Col. Bart Van Roo, the commander of the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 176th FS, which has F-16 Fighting Falcons. “We went to our simulated airfield out in the far part of the airspace. As the two ship from the northern half of the airspace we turned hot, drove for about 30 seconds and we were dead, just like that. We never even saw (the F-35A).”
Van Roo has been flying the F-16 since 2001 and as red air during Northern Lightning for 13 years. Red air is a formation of aircraft acting as the enemy for air-to-air tactics training.
“For us, as a capable fourth-generation fighter, we are used to being able to see and counter most adversaries that we have out there when we are playing red air,” Van Roo said. “Versus the F-35, it’s completely different. The most difficult thing is we just can’t see them like they can see us. It can feel like you are out there with a blindfold on trying to find someone in a huge space.
“We have been reliant on visual pickups of the aircraft only, which is extremely difficult to do, and at those ranges we are already dead before we could shoot back.”
Sweet plane! These babies roar over my house. That engine is a beast.
What's the soundtrack? Of course you wouldn't post it in the description because Google would never take down a Lockheed Martin video...
The first aircraft on which I worked as designer :-)
And you sir designed a good looking jet.
It's look very cool.But his characteristics suck.Lockeed Martin want only money.
+jamp071983 so u are not good designer then....
+jamp071983
certainly, you must be the person design the stealth ability
+Silvio S for sure you are a stupid man that doesn't know what he is speaking about...
Awesome!
really nice
Anyone could tell me the name of the music ? Thanks! :)
Nice job everyone.
Most of what is in this video is only important to think company and not many others.
where is s.korea???
The future is looking good for my future ride!
+Alexander Love
please sir, prepare your gravestone before you fly and meet S4/500
Sn Mailist the thing I find funny is that all you F-35 haters will be its biggest supporters when it is really put to use. Just saying.
Alexander Love
I'm just reminding you before you're so much exciting with all F-35 superiority.
I'm not hater,
even I don't live in non NATO allies
I want to see video of this thing doing something more than flying straight and taking off
That is all your gonna see. The whole end game of this aircraft is that it see's you manuvers from you fires an Aim9x at you then continues on to next target.
Monster LMA I just read about that. Badass missle, says it will mount on the F-35, however its nearly 4 meters long and the STOVL's have smaller internal bays because of the lift fan. Sounds like the missle has link 16 if it does then I would mount it on a typhoon and let the RAF F-35B guide it to target 120 miles ahead of launch point. Good stuff
+DOC Ohm RAF Meteor will fit F35B only modification it minor trim to fins for width. Meteor testing on Typhoon now. Will move to the Lightning soon and hence be available to the US and virtually all NATO.
+Michael Elias M
These aircraft will get fly certification in 2030
At this moment, F-35 still under pre-Test stage with so tremendous hardware & software revision.
This thing is basically a replacement for the flying fortress if you think about it (A ass kicking bomber that can protect itself) The f-35 is scary as hell in Un-steathy mode most people do not read about its payload and distance out of stealth mode if Think about it{ if ten of these took off to bomb your house they would make it because of there internal fuel tank is huge now add a external fuel tank and cruise 1000 mph without afterburners They are super fuel efficient and you got one quarter of a million pounds of precision munitions right above you}. Even if half did not make it the five remaining ones still got 115,000 lbs of precision bombs. Of course this would only happen after the same jets cleared the area in stealth with there measly 8000lb payload that people actually think is not very much. People that think that need to stack 5 small cars on top of each other and think hell that plane cant carry shite internally. Wrong! it can!
Intel / multi role fighter, in the box of secrets is the f22 raptor x. That's for special missions though.
when spain have no crisis we go to buy that
+TROLLXDGAMER Spain is part of NATO.
+ELECTROSTATIC DISC LIFTERS i know but that means we can have it for a little price? like a discount or for free
TROLLXDGAMER
No it doesn't. But the US will give you financing.
nice
Dog fighting is cool but hardly applicable in the modern day of air to air combat. F-35 is the best fighter on the market at the moment, full stop. Besides, Im sure engineers and air force generals know more about air combat than youtube armchair generals, including myself =P
+Monster LMA souce
+Monster LMA source please
+DSRT888 it's called the Guardian. It developed by Northrop Grumman. It is a laser based system that blinds the IR seeker in missiles.
Alexander Hoyt Alright thanks.
+DSRT888 I goofed. The Guardian is used on airliners. The F-35 laser is called the Aero-Adaptive, Aero-Optic Beam Control (ABC) and it has the same purpose as the Guardian, but now allows the laser to engage enemy aircraft as well as missiles. Sorry for the misinformation.
Super Battlefield! The world is going crazy!
What about how many civilian casualties by the missiles and bombs you made?
+Arthur J Who caused? Either pilot error or somebody giving wrong coordinates does that. Not the delivery system. You must be a true democrat. You probably think guns kill people also.
+Naked Acres You can't reason with a tree huger, They can't understand how we keep the trash in the cans so they can save the world.
If only I was hired at any aircraft company...
Wow, here come the trollllllllsssss. They're as bad as Pavlov's dog. All you have to do is say "F-35" and they come a running, yipping like little chihuahuas.
*sigh*
Same thing could be said about the F-22 Raptor. Poor things getting bashed on by these keyboard warriors. I plan to join the USAF soon because of my love of Military Aircraft
still ten times better then the cute clueless pacifist little u$ j*w puppet slaves... you say 'f35' or 'government' and they will defend the state for and as long whenever.. without clear logic. like bolshevists.. any criticism and they will call you a 'troll' or anything else listed in their trendy jargon pushed forward by their fav media outlets (who's in line with the very same state narrative). yes, little cowards they are. hey buddy, here's another piece of info: this f35 thing is an expensive piece of failed junk. you had to bribe our politicians to buy these tax whales. the majority didn't want them and they still don't. american crap. love the iPad tho lol see you in the next glorious f35 hallelujah hollywood video - your fav troll
+sebaz1982 And that folks, is what it looks like when a 12 year old jumps on daddy's computer unsupervised.
+sferrin2 yeah.. more trendy jargon.. nothing substantial. i love the 'and that folks' like cddxxxxxxxxxwsopying your 'leader' obama trying to still sound hip after yet another america failure/embarrassment.. (obama: 'we tortured some folks) . so you're talking to an audience? or you're just trying to make it look like you're talking with high authority LOL anyway , anything else? stick to the praising of the f35 because i get nothing substantial just more cohens mtv / hollywood one liners . greetings from europe , cya my cute little u$ j*w puppet
I must say to Lockheed Martin that F-35 JSF is a great plane, certainly more capable than normal F-16, but, I do want to say I'm kinda disappointed for F-35A and C, because I think they needed TVN like in Sukhoi Su-30 family for more maneuverability, though yes, dogfights are kinda obsolete, I think it's best to have something to fall back on, especially when your enemy carries much more armament, have higher thrust to weight ratio, longer range, and most importantly, real omnirole capability(capable carrying more than 2 A2A missiles and 2 A2G munitions), and I'm talking about the MiG-35 here, not Su-35S yet, overall, I think F-35 has a great potential, maybe made the A variant more dogfight capable?
So the first (in quantity) foreign custom of the F35 is Europe ? How many plane manufacturer Europe have ? o_O
+Laurent Laborde There are now more F-35s flying than Rafales.
+sferrin2 Dayum son, I only knew that now xD
Laurent Laborde Not true
Robert Brockway isn't it what the documentary said ?
Laurent Laborde No
Tadaaaa indoors all-weather test ! And the canon can shoot even if they put it inside the aircraft...what a surprise
+MrBergakungen "Surprise" that is what the enemy said just before got shot down.
nice F-35 progress clip.
But, beaten by F-16 in dogfight is something need to be include in this F-35 progress video, that will be a much proper review :)
How great is F-16~~~
+Yenlung Lo Good luck trying to survive ground-to-air in your F16
+Yenlung Lo
Except it wasn't. God bless ill-informed Trolls who guarantee to make themselves look stupid ...
+Yenlung Lo
An aircraft specifically made to excel at dogfighting wins a dogfight against a stealth strike aircraft.
How shocking.
+Yenlung Lo
Thanks guys. I really appreciate every reply :)
How many people still remember that F-16 now belongs to Lockheed?
So, the story is that.
Lockheed F-16 wins Lockheed F-35 in dogfight. For those who unable to buy a F-35, F-16 have shown itself as a good deal too. Then Lockheed can ask for more capital investment for this still under development F-35 to perfect the dogfight, and sales more F-16 in the same time. Whatever F-35 loose in dogfight, Lockheed wins, and taxpayer loose.
+Yenlung Lo If you read the pilots report, you'll find that media claims that the F-16 and F-35 were even in a dog-fight (let alone the F-16 winning) simply isn't true. Meanwhile, the F-35 provided its own anti-air in Green Flag, and as part of the Marine IOC, 4 F-35B's took out 9 enemy fighters (thought to be Marine F/A-18's) unscathed.
why now F35 can not take off vertically
Cty CP In Khánh Hòa Việt Nam Doesn't need to, that is why they say STOVL. Beside that, they are talking about F-35A that is a standard landing fighter.
one step closer to flying cars
fix w/tech the old guys pnt about no rear visibility, death blind spot(esp on Marine).
You didn't know there are 6 infrared cameras around the aircraft so the pilot can "see through" the aircraft?
the direction they look but not behind them.
I think the old guts pnt was to the fact that u r completely reliant on the tech, that is sketchy.
if u hve a bulk helmet on & no owl neck, can u still see directly behind u.
+James Merkel WRONG, their view is 360 degrees in any direction.
Just one question? How come Italy, which is buying 90 F35s, gets a full on assembly plant with parts shipped in from all over the world and the UK, which is buying 138 at least, invested £2.3 Billion and makes some 25% of all F35s wasn't given that opportunity? So much for being a 'Tier One Partner' with the Yanks then ...
It's because the UK is getting the same version the US is getting.
Other countries are getting downgraded version which lacks many advanced features.
kushdaddy144
Not sure I follow. My point is that as a Tier One Partner surely we should be getting priority? The final specification isn't the issue. We make the rear fuselage, tail fins and tailplanes, wing tips and a whole bunch of other stuff for EVERY F35 built. So why give Italy a Final Assembly line? they are buying fewer aircraft and never paid any development money ...
Monster LMA
Sorry my friend the Italians have a Final Assembly Line T Cameri where they are building both Italian and Dutch customer aircraft. Apparently Japan will also produce its own aircraft under licence.
The Italians have also won the major maintenance and upgrade contracts for all European F35s.
Which again begs my question why is all this work not being given to the only 'Tier One' partner who invested all the big bucks up front years ago....
+1chish One or more of the major systems in the F-35 is made in England - so they are getting a piece of the action on every F-35 sold.
Dan Zervos
Thats right my friend. The whole rear end is basically British: Fuselage, vertical and horizontal tailpanes, folding wing tips for the F-35C. The vertical tailplanes were actually designed and tested at BAE Systems here in the UK and they have a complete airframe under stress testing. We provide most of the avionics and warfare structure software, ejector seats and much of the fuel systems. The LiftSystem for the STOVL 'B' is Rolls Royce and we put up some £2.3 Billion in development money up front. It was a British RAF pilot that flew the first X-35 STOVL test in 2001. Seems a very long time ago.
500 UK companies are involved in the programme, building 25pc of each F35 produced. BAE claims it will support 25,000 British jobs over the next 25 years.I have no idea of values but as we supply every F35 maybe get paid what we pay for our 138 fighters!
During 'all weather' testing, we've discovered the F-35 isn't suitable for 'all weather'...Some weather? Doubtful, but we're looking into it. - Lockheed Martin
+Chris Fraser WRONG
Thıs ıs future aırcraft congralatıon ..
They should not offer this aircraft to Turkey !
This plane gets constantly ripped by idiots who read military journalists who are also idiots who are trying to break controversial story to get their own names out there.
The facts are that the airframe is capable of great maneuverability. It is inherently unstable. Once the software for the flight envelope is finished this plane will be many times better in a dogfight than any fighter except the F-22.
The avionics will be unsurpassed for battlefield situational awareness. The pilot will eventually be able to control drones from the cockpit.
Admittedly there have been delays and mistakes made. It will get fixed and when it does, this will be the most capable fighter jet to ever fly.
sexy jet
The Avro arrow is better
+Packo_ Hubu but this thing has less stealth but the F-35 is not the worse jet every.
+Packo_ Hubu stealth is used only in first couple days its the f-35s un-stealthy configuration that makes this plane grow fangs 23,000lb precision payload with air to air weapons internally, external fuel tanks combined with its massive internal fuel tank super cruising at 1000 mph not using after burners therefor using least amount of fuel carrying the most. Imagine when the all clear is given after first wave and 30 fully loaded f-35(bombers) take off cruising 1000 mph with more fuel than most fighters and 600,000lbs of precision weaponry(sucks to be anywhere near target) even if 15 get shot down you still got 300,000 lbs of precision weapons falling on your head.
+Packo_ Hubu stealth doesn't work that well...
Fail-35 great technology but useless in perfomance..
+Shadow Assault How the hell would you know? All you believe in is false claims by other none experts.
Don`t sell this jet to Turkey..!! Mistake..!! (s. 9-10)
Chill it's only 4.
+Darrian Woodard 2 orders in 2014 + 4 orders in 2015 + now 8 orders in 2016... Total 14 orders save... to fuck all pkk terrorists with integrated Turkish Som-J Network Enabled Cruise Missile and Turkish HGK-84 JDAM bomb...
even Turkish Som-J will be a global weapon for F-35 and very soon Turkish HGK-84 JDAM too... also TURKEY will buy a total of 100 F-35A for Air Force and 16 F-35B for NAVY... you are all jealous trolls nothing else

Darrian Woodard sorry I wanted to say xavixv
So much for the claims the F-35 can't dogfight. A Norwegian pilot's perspective. theaviationist.com/2016/03/01/heres-what-ive-learned-so-far-dogfighting-in-the-f-35-a-jsf-pilot-first-hand-account/
+SeaToby11
Fun fact.
Western pilots often dismissed the advantage of the cobra manouver of russian jets. As high angle of attacks always mean you lose a lot of energy
Now the norwegian pilots is saying the F35 is good because it can do pretty half decent high angle of attack manouvers(not even close to what SU 30's and SU 35's have been showing off)

This s partly for follow along & for the end times pals. Right after I stirred the pot air the old guys comm, about the plane not hving the Classic bubble canopy(can't believe it, I didn't even notice). The whole back up thing came up. Then n the news r newest USS Milwaukee breaks down, & John McCain, pnts out the ship is supposed to hve redundant systems to keep it going.(weird, but not crazy). Then watching 12/16/08' air date NCIS(GOD/script writer speaking again)I am trying GOD) "Silent Night" Ep S6 Ep11, it came up again.

Shit, not a plane. Russian T-50 is better.
You have no way of knowing that, even if the T-50 would exist into service. Which it doesn't. There's only a couple of prototypes yet. Now go be drunk for the rest of the day, like 70% of your fellow nationals.
