It’s going to be 20 years before we really know what this jet is capable of
Yep. So much of it is still classified normal plebs like us have no clue and won't until decades later.
Even "known" basic stats such as range and max speed are only approximations, good enough for public consumption but not accurate enough for enemy nations such as Russia and China to rely on for actual combat situations.
Western nations are known to publish under-performance figures while Russia and China generally post over-approximations.
@@Sajuuktrue
Most definitely true. Even a lot of maintainers don’t know that much until they start to gain a higher skill level obviously, but there is a lot more public knowledge on the F35 as opposed to the F22
You're so hopeful. The F-22 entered IOC nearly 20 years ago, and we still have only seen glimpses of the cockpit.
Not in the current climate
Lockheed Martin is going on a publicity tour for the F-35 and I'm here for it
Yep, can't wait to buy one for myself!

God damn I love the military industrial complex. I hope henry kissinger does this format next
Honestly man I used to think that the MIC was all bloated and corrupt.
But seeing how niche and wild some of their products are, the costs genuinely make sense.
I just wish it has less bureaucracy. But what can you expect from the government lol.
@@honkhonk8009 Why less bureaucracy? We're spending money on our own domestic industries, as long as there's no national emergency, it makes perfect sense to spread the labor out.
@@honkhonk8009 i mean they charge like 3x what the product should go. Def in the last few years
@@honkhonk8009 defense contractors are definitely fucking us over on what they charge for their products, we should be paying a lot less for the same tech. I do love the kind of R&D this buys tho
I like how they just skipped the "Supercruise" question. obviously not allowed to talk about it there
According to stuff I found elsewhere, it can apparently do so but o my for a short time. My guess would be the engine can handle it, but the extra strain it puts on the engine would make its maintenance more expensive
@@d.thieud.1056from what i heard it can supercruise but only after the afterburner helped it past Mach.
@@tobilikebacon that makes sense too, drag increases massively neat Mach, but drops quite a bit as soon as you're past.
This can be minimised by area ruling but stealth took priority over area rule in the 35
@@d.thieud.1056 It wouldn't really make sense anyway. It's only permitted to exceed mach 1 for relatively little time during a flight to minimize wear on its RAM. Of course, in a desperate situation they'd exceed these limits if necessary, but at that point they'll turn on the afterburners anyway.
Supercruise might be useful for something doing an intercept on a high speed object but also needs to also conserve fuel, but the F-35 isn't an interceptor.
@@slightlyirradiatedmuffin3257 going supersonic has more uses than just going some place fast. Pushing past the sound barrier, and the immense drag-spike this causes, allows missiles to go much further. A missile fired from Mach 0.98 will have a surprisingly significant reduction in range and top speed from one fired from Mach 1.01.
Another reason besides fuel consultation this is extremely valuable is IR signature.
Being detectable by radar only from 15km away is theat valuable if you're easy to spot from, say, 40km by IRST. The F-35s bleed air shrouded exhaust addresses that problem and probably fixes it when it's not afterburning, but if does it might get itself detected while trying to make its own missile more lethal
Oh. Yeah. Keep switching between the boards.
That makes it even better.
This was super interesting, and I love how humorous and humble they are :)
Wonderful informative video. The F-16 , F-35 , F-22 are all very capable jets. Yes All of the F-35's and F-22 can be used in a manner like Other fighters - with weapons and fuel tanks mounted under the wings. If your worried about the planes RCS being compromised you could have some configured in a standard manner and other's setup for stealth so the planes with a standard configuration can be accompanied by and protected by the stealth configured jets.
Love this! Would like to see more of this for other aircraft
Hi I had the chance to see F35 demonstration at Paris air Show, he took off just over my head and I almost lost hearing 😅 amazing aircraft anyway !
The secret sauce is all in the fantastic radar, sensor fusion, and networking capabilities of the platform.
also the easy upgradebility for future systems
The networking is prolly the biggest part.
Just because data is really important in todays battlefield, especially with AI.
Theres a reason why Palantir used weather data in their algorithms, to predict terrorists.
Same algorithm that killed bin laden.
The truth is, America ever since WW2, has blurred the lines between military and civillian industry.
The microsoft holo-lens you saw used for minecraft, is now used in the marine corps.
Everything from the corporate culture to the management paradigms is heavily related to teh civillian industry, since we dont have a military history to begin with.
“Even a low average pilot can do it”🫡
He said below average - he probably needs more simulator hours 😅
i enjoyed these type of videos. would love to see more
I love this A/C but sometimes it makes me feel too much sluggish, compared to my previous fighter. But APC is the greatest thing!!!
Great video. Her smile makes me think of Brian Shaw.
They look everything but pilots
hands down aside from being a fan of the SR-71 Black Bird, this is another remarkable jet you guys have produced
Awesome stuff!
you skipped few parts😂
Yeah they even skipped the supercruise part 😂😂😂
Quick question and I know no secrets were said but even the little bit of information you just gave (althought I loved it), are you nervus the enemies are looking at this and building their version to match it or beat it???
This is a good promotion video for an advanced fighter that’s probably already the most successful one to date purely because so many countries have bought and deployed it. What really makes it successful is that its fighter doctrine which is based on data fusion will collect and store data from more sources than simply any other fighter. Data is the new oil and authoritarian countries dare not share their secrets widely so the F-35 can maintain, and only grow, its superiority and capabilities from here on.
Bruh this is exactly what I thought it was going to be; the pilots knew that almost everything about the jet was classified, and thus couldn't say many things they wanted to say.
For example, I bet they weren't allowed to talk about the engineering of the F-35B's VTOL abilities, or the tape that covers all the edges of the plane, or the fact that there's so much bleeding edge technology in the stealth design of the plane.
that's what I said lol. When they answered the "parts" question they told nothing about the parts or the materials but told us where they were made lmao
Funnily enough I could search up more info on the f35 than what these pilots provided. Weird considering in Lockheeds other videos we got more "detailed" info on the f35
@so when going to go free electric antigravity motors
Fun video to watch!
An F-35 with GE XA100 Engine would be awesome as it will reveal the actual potential of this aircraft
It's an electronic warfare plane, recon and targetting plane, air superiority fighter and ground attack fighter. A multi-role fighter.
nicely done...proud to be an American...oorah.
will we get a version of this and the cockpit video but of the f22
No, secret
Thank you for your service guys
I was at Eglin with LM and trained the military how to maintain the F-35. Best visual I can give you about facing a F-35 is put a blindfold on in a pitch black room. Wear a pair of headphones with music turned up full volume. Now stand in the room blind and deaf and wait because I am eventually going to punch you in the mouth you just don't know when. That's what it is like in a dog fight against a F-35 or F-22 fighter. You're going to feel the suck.
Does the F35 have an aircraft stick or a joystick like many commercial airplane ?
Does it have rudder pedals ?
I think they use a sidestick.
it makes sense to use a sidestick anyways since your gonna want to be manning all the other systems onboard aswell.
Its also less alienating to pilots since most guys training for this are gonna be used to using a mouse for video games
As honk says, it is a side stick. It looks very much like a joystick you might use to fly a combat flight sim on your PC at home. It is mounted on the right side of the cockpit where it would be comfortable to hold onto it in a relaxed sitting position, with your arm like it is sitting on the armrest of a chair. Fun fact, the F-16 also has a side stick arrangement. However, the button / switch layout is different between the two.
Thank you both of you F-35 Pilot I learned a lot of things when I listening to you , I wish Lockheed Martin can create 6th and 7th gen jet advance fighter. 🙏🙏🙏
They can.
Same here! Amazing video, with simplified information that makes things way more understandable but no less fascinating.
Yeah , but there's a lot things and secret of F-35 that they tried to hide , because this jet is 1 of main weapon of U.S. maybe a lot..
What?
Don't underestimate Skunkworks 🤣🤣
I´ve always wondered if the pilots have ever tried the VR systems for gaming, and what's their opinion.
Another fact the F-35 is the world's most powerful single engine fighter.. the engine in full burner about 45,000 lbs of thrust.. the F15 with two engines puts out about the same combine in full burner .. I wish Lockheed would make a twin engine fighter down the road using the F-35 engines👍😄 also those HUD carbon fiber helmets aren't cheap at all about $400,000 ea...
The B-21 uses 2x F135 engines, which makes me think that might be an excessive configuration for a 4th/5th gen style fighter.
6th gen seems to be big enough to make use of the extra thrust, but they're aiming for adaptive cycle engines for that.
Why
@@ikkinwithattitudeThe B-21’s engines are also non afterburning. Adaptive Cycle Engines are planned for integration in the F-35’s as well.
NGAD will utilize dual adaptive cycle engine , each one is powerful than F135
@@tluangasailo3663 As, more, less? You can't just say is powerful than F135
I can tell he's counting words to not give out classified info and the lady's looking like the one putting him in check
It appears Lockheed Martin has a UAP reverse engineering program, what is your opinion about this?
I like to imagine them being picked for filming this video like the scene where they picked John Glenn for Mercury in the right stuff. Carrier landing then these lads go to the people in suits asking for them and then they're briefed while jets and the seas are roaring in the background. It's funny because this isn't Mercury but they're pilots and I think they find themselves in that situation a lot.
We would like to see these beautiful jets in our own air forces. loves from Turkey
These guys working hard to remain within their classification status and contracts
now this is innovation far from movies and close to reality, connecting to your people and dominating your competition because your confident tested proven to the public and me as myself agree
nice, ignored the question if it can supercruise....love it
Excuse me, where can I buy this?
Looks like need a microfluid embroidery pattern robots patches for a ninja spacesuit
How come some of the questions were not answered at all? And why didn't they go in order? Is there a longer version out there? I mean I get that they can't just answer any question, but then why have it on the list in the first place?
Um..... Why was the supercruise question skipped
Well this was fun…probably made from extraterrestrial craft…using back engineered materials
Correct 👍🏻
whats up with the supercruise question that got cut out
That didn’t want to say I guess
Now I know what kind of pilots they are
I'm kinda disappointed at the VTOL question... I always thought that at least the internal ordinance wouldn't be a factor for the vertical operation; makes me wonder if the extra weight and complexity are actually worth it.
So he didn't go into too much nuance but, the F-35 can take off with a weapons load but a very reduced weapons load, maybe just 2 aim-120s and that's it, no ammo for the gun and very little fuel. However the VTOL aspect does help the aircraft take off much quicker (STOL) so it can operate at sea on helicopter carriers and assault ships and very short runways. The biggest advantage however is that regardless of loadout it will always be able to land vertically which means it can land on some helicopter pads. So it can't magically take off vertically with a full load of weapons and fuel but it can take off very quickly with VTOL mode assisting and it can come back and land vertically on very small spaces. If it gets a engine and lift fan upgrade in the future it may be able to take off with a full fuel and weapons load.
@@captaincumrag42069 excellent explanation, sir. Thank you!
Not all F35 variants have Vtol, only the F-35B
Vtol only makes sense for the Marine Corps.
The F-35B isn't a VTOL aircraft (nor is any other aircraft for that matter). It's a STOVL aircraft (Short take off/Vertical landing.) In order to take off vertically, the plane needs to have at least a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio. The empty weight of an F-35B is 32,410lbs. The amount of combined thrust between the engine and lift fan is ~40,000lbs. As soon as you add a pilot, that's another 150-250lbs. You're left with ~7,400lbs, to split between fuel and weapons. If you're carrying 2 JDAM and 2 AIM-120, that means at most you've got 4,700lbs of fuel. By the time you taxi and take off, you'll only have ~3,700lbs of fuel. Of that 3,700 you'll have to factor in contingency, diversion, and final reserves, along with trip fuel. Which basically means that you're taking off and landing at the same base, with no combat radius/persistence. It's an emergency feature only, and not operationally useable.
There's no upgrade that will allow VTOL with full fuel and weapons. Even full fuel and full internal weapons would require 50,000+lbs of thrust (or a ~10,000lb improvement over the current thrust.) To take off with full fuel and full weapons (including external ordnance) would require 60,000+ lbs of thrust.
Best fighter ever.
Can't believe her call sign is "Siren". That is the best other than Phoenix or Valkyrie. Don't know if they were too cruel or too kind. I am living vicariously through her. Love it.
BTW...They are just like Bob from Top Gun. Quite unobtrusive. All the pilot reviewers said Bob was the closest to real pilots in terms of manner. Excuse me...weapons specialist.
#VeryCoolVideo 😎
So how do I ask this question? Is it really better than the F-16? When was the last time a politician allowed a BVR shoot? Can' it out turn an F-16?

Can you fly the F35 without the helmet ?
Okay but how many results got removed because *classified* as I know a ton of simmers must of looked up some juicy Info hoping to find it somewhere knowing full well it would be illegal to post
These questions aren't that bad actually. Ive seen a lot more aggressive, for lack of a better term, questions like "How can you support something that can easily be destroyed by an F-16?" or "How can the F-35 be good if it cant dogfight?". I was hoping to see questions like these in here, but what you did have was decent.
Super ! Grüße an die Chefin ;)
Es geht auch teuer , dann hat bestimmt Steuerpositionsdüsen und Racketenkraftstoff wie ne F14 NASA ;)))
When did it first pick up the nickname “Fat Amy“, and is it just the Navy that refers to it as such, or do other branches call it that as well?
why did they skipped some of the question
Ordnance not Ordinance, very different things. The captions are wrong
I was kind of expecting the "can the f 35 dogfight"...
What is this romper room?
Can the f35 dogfight???
Pilots: sorry sir, we don't do these type of questions
Yes, although the likelihood of needing to is slim. That being said, the kinematic performance of the F-35 matches or exceeds the jets it's replacing.
“How do you do, fellow kids?”
The F-35 has parts / components made by companies in USA, Norway, Denmark, United Kingdom, Israel, Turkey, Netherlands, Canada, Australia and Italy
Funny how they classified the first question too lol
Right! That must mean it can indeed supercruise
@@elijahtucker7938 That's one possibility
parts from all around the world? Isn't that a security concern?
Pretty sure since EVER u guys built things with parts from all around the world. Brazilian rubber was used for US aircraft in ww2 (an example)
Thank you very much,I am trying to work with you all but I had a delay for some time,first I have to get all my paper works back in place with the department of defense,also I have to do some traveling for 18 months,and work with you all,I know your work time 4-10 hours days,it will give me time to get every thing in place,first I just want to get in the door with all the paper works in place ,I like helicopter ,F-35 air craft ,chinook helicopters ,but I want to be trained in all air craft,went it time to defense this country,you have to be ready to go to work.
can it supercruise??
Supercruise is a loose term. Can it get to supersonic speeds without AB? Definitely yes. Can it maintain it? No. It will have to use AB. Though how long can it maintain supersonic flight without AB is what I don't know.
mach 1.6 even for the f-35b?
It can do mach 1.6, im going to leave it at that
It's most likely more as the top speed for many US weapons is underreported. For example the supercarriers can go over 40 knots but their listed top speed is 30+.
Yes. All 3 variants can reach M1.6+ in combat. The restrictions on the B/C are for training only, to reduce sustainment costs over the life of the airframe, much like they're G restricted as well.
Taking a pull from GQ lol I see you LM
Respect for Monessa 'Siren' Balzhiser, on becoming the first women test pilot to fly the indomitable F-35.
I love how they edited out the supercruise question because It cant, unlike the F-22 lmao.
Force multipler
'Fat Amy' is a beautiful and potent multi-role et fighter...
There is no substitute.
What's the point of the F-35B if the vertical function is useless.
Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL). Not Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL).

@@ghostyt2950 Well I'm not exactly sure what info China has but 1 thing for sure is that they do have some info on the plane. Lockheed Martin's been hacked by China before.

There was a question revealed that asked if the F35 could SC. They skipped it.
It depends on which definition is used. It can't fly at M1.5 without afterburner, but it can exceed M1 without afterburner.

I read somewhere that it could maintain > Mach 1 for a fixed period of time before it dips to subsonic.

That woman is freaking beautiful and she is a fighter jet test pilot 😦how awesome is that and cool , I think I’m in love 😍Lockheed Martin , great job when you recruited her 👍impressive most impressive
But most of the info on the F 35 is Classified for obvious reasons , it’s not a whole lot they can say ” what is the F 35 Made of “ it’s made of a lot of things without actually answering the question 😂
Here’s one; Does the F-35 contain partly reverse engineered alien technology. Your former Boss Ben Rich Told us you are using retrieved bits over at Lockheed Martin 😃

it has multiple I personally like "battle penguin"
@@koc988My favorite is "fat Amy" although it's not really fat, it's a rather small and nimble fighter but I guess from some angles its quite wide looking, though it looks more muscular than anything.
They didn’t directly answer what it’s made of and gave a tangential PR response, as they should. Of course that shouldn’t be made public.
