- The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II STOVL At Trade Tuesday Farnborough Airshow 2016. First flying appearance at FIA after RIAT16.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters undergoing final development and testing by the United States. The fifth generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air defense missions. The F-35 has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the first squadron was declared ready for deployment after intensive testing by the United States.
The F-35B is the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the aircraft. Similar in size to the A variant, the B sacrifices about a third of the A variant's fuel volume to accommodate the vertical flight system. Vertical takeoffs and landings are riskier because of threats such as foreign object damage. Whereas the F-35A is stressed to 9 g, the F-35B's stress goal is 7 g. As of 2014, the F-35B is limited to 4.5 g and 400 knots. The next software upgrade includes weapons, and allows 5.5 g and Mach 1.2, with a final target of 7 g and Mach 1.6. The first test flight of the F-35B was conducted on 11 June 2008. Another milestone, the first successful ski-jump launch was carried out by BAE test pilot Peter Wilson on 24 June 2015.

F-35B Flight Demonstration - Farnborough Airshow 2016 #AIRBOYD #AvGeek #F35 #JSF
I was there with my father when this came past. One thing you can't grasp from the video is the noise this thing makes, we were buying food when this came past and I remember distinctively holding a greasy hot dog up next to my ear to block the sound. Great Video
The very first time I have seen the full transition from hover to flight and all the hatches closed. Great video, thanks
I don't care how much it costs - that thing is goddam amazing.
It's easy to notice superior manoeuvrability in relation to Antonov An-225 Mriya.
After 15 years and 50 billions spend some people are still surprised it can fly horizontal.
no 1500 billions spend mate.
no... 1500 billions is on 70 years ..
Голубь мира:)
мировой холубь)
25Y after Soviet Yak-141 :-)))
I saw this at RIAT 2016 what an fantastic aircraft and superb display!
The VTOL is SICK ! Honestly the F-35 B variant is probably the only useful version since it replaces the Harrier.
Such an eerie thing to watch a supersonic jet just hang there in the sky like a UFO checking us out before zooming away.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the voices of a million Eagles in the distance.
Proof that even a brick will fly if you put enough power on it.
it's not a brick ... mach 1.6 sustained speed with full payload it kinda exceeds the f-16 or f-18 and that mach 1.6 it's limited theoretically it could go further
I'm actually starting to fall in love with this ever since your recent videos with it.
See the description..
"Whereas the F-35A is stressed to 9 g, the F-35B's stress goal is 7 g. As of 2014, the F-35B is limited to 4.5 g and 400 knots."
The aircraft is not finished Development and Testing.
A WW2 F8F bercat could do 7.5 G
The F-35b has a 7.5 g limit same as the F-18 Super hornet. and same top speed of 1200 mph. The F-35's do not have the latest software that allows for max turn capability or do they have full combat capability
the pak fa can turn at 9-11G just saying...
5 minutes drive from where I live! could hear the aircraft from home :-) going on sunday to watch the display!
Fantastic video, fantastic aircraft!
I remember seeing his flight in person, but I don’t remember hearing it because it was so loud it impaired my hearing🤣
The Royal Netherland Air Force pushed their F-35's harder than this at their Open Days airshow in Luchtmachtdagen.
Being the pilot of this plane must be a blast.........
Is it just me or is this really really sedate ? Doesn't look like he's pushing it at all
Couldn't tell if it was because of the low ceilings and rain or because of the Shoreham Airshow changes, but a lot of the show seemed slower this year.
AIRBOYD I thought the ceiling would increase the feeling of speed. I think it's the consequences of Shoreham rather. I get a feeling of restraint from the display, nothing like a traditional F-16 display say. Lazy maneuvers, slow turns, a few passes and a VTOL demo. Not really selling it to me tbh
Spotter next to me said that the RIAT demo was a little better...FWIW. If the WX holds, we might see a different tomorrow.
AIRBOYD here's hoping
Just saw Wednesday's schedule...the F-35 isn't on it...
Loved the show
People seem to be complaining that they didn't show the full capabilities of this thing here. I mean, fine, if you wanted to see it at its best it might be disappointing. But some people seem to be under the impression that this plane is crap as a result of this.
Given the amount of money and resources pumped into it, it's obviously going to be useful. I have no idea what this plane is capable of or how it compares to the Harriers, F-22, Typhoon, etc, but I have enough sense to realise that it wouldn't exist if there wasn't some need for it.
The need for it is to make lot's of Money for Lockheed Martin.
rationalmartian No, I wasn't aware of that unfortunate nickname, nor did I know of the delays, overheating, etc.
I guess I admit my ignorance in this case. I was looking at the situation in a hypothetical way, as if everything had gone smoothly so far.
It's a shame though, because it seems like an aircraft that had potential.
Sharpclawasaurus It has at least 2 Nicknames. One being the Flying "Turd", apparently awarded by the Top Gun Pilots, and the other is Alt Ctrl Del. I'm not sure of the latter's origin but it's not hard to fathom why they they would have bestowed it on the F35. They would be quite amusing if it wasn't for the obscene amounts of Money People (Taxpayers) are paying for these grossly overpriced under achievers.
Michael Dodge So what you're trying to say is disbelieve the Truth and just believe the Propaganda the Lockheed try to pawn off. This Plane exists for 1 reason only, to make obscene amounts of Money for Lockheed.
www.businessinsider.com.au/f-35-setback-2016-2
Michael Dodge The second Article is just pure Propaganda. It isn't based on fact. If the American Defence System can't pick up something with a Roman Candle in the back of it like the F35 has, you've got even bigger problems than the fact that it's a Lemon. You need to go back to Drawing Board with you're entire Military. The Russians can pick up a Roman Candle that size from quite a Distance. Plus it is one of the noisiest and cumbersome Planes ever to fly.
Saw it perform in the uk ....omfg is unreal
amazing just like the harrier jump jets from the 80s. i know nothing about jet fighters. but surely. this jet is not as good as the euro fighter. and who are they made by. many thanks for any replys
Imagine flying that badass everyday and getting paid
This plane isn't a fighter right? its suppose to be a strike fighter I think?
cool, where can I buy one?
awesome f35 demo...
That MRT was pretty good. About the same as the F16.
F-35 has small wings but it also has a lifting body design unlike the F-16
so it has great turn radius
except the F16 is a lifting body too. Thats why it can complete a 360 turn in half the time of an F4
awesome machine
Well, this bad boy is as nimble as a flying cinder block.
editorial - To maintain its stealthiness it can't use external tanks. This gives it an exceedingly short range. And if it refuels in air, the tanker will give away it's postion. - editorial
It's raining get is better than most fighters.
It's range is greater than most fighters.
It's range is greater than most fighters.
Watch near the end, it closes all hatches for normal flight. That that is for all those that said it could not do it. Haters lose again.
I was there, the video doesnt really show the pure loudness of this thing hovering.
The Best Aircraft!!!
I have absolute respect for the F-35 and totally get the technical marvel it represents. It's a superb replacement for the Harrier and by all accounts a tremendous jack-of-all trades to sit below dedicated interceptors such as the F-22 and Eurofighter.
My only issue with it, although slightly trivial, its that it's the first combat aircraft i've seen in 30 years which seems ever so slightly soulless. It's almost too refined.. like Apple designed a fighter aircraft to be friendly and inoffensive.
F-14's, 16's, 18's, 22's, Eurofighters, Harriers, Tornados, Jaguars, Phantoms, A-10's... they all are so distinctive and cultural; I can't help feel the F-35 does little to stir the soul. Not that it makes a blind bit of difference in combat mind you.
it flies!!!
wow nice hovering
A fighter jet hovering looks pretty amazing.
I have this one in my simulator. Very fun to fly.
I flew this in the battle of Wake Island '07 - you weren't there man....
was the pilot not stressing the airframe? - the F-16 turns twice as fast.
Awesome
Ouahhhh!!! The plane of the future...
Did he say extremely agile?
Even less aggressive than the F-18 demo. I wonder why
The f-35 does not have the latest software that allows for 9g turns. 7.5 is the limit
well that wasn't a 7g turn, nowhere near that
I'd like to see some maneuvers!
I like that hover mode. Let's just replace all police choppers with these :P
great camera work!!!
How about throw a few billion into fixing some of these potholes and a material that last longer than 3 months.
Столько денег потратили на то, чтобы самолет просто летал по прямой как по рельсам)
Didn't see it actually land vertially, probbably because of damage it causes to runway surfaces. Even on new carrier they've had to beef up deck in order to avoid damage. Cost overruns, delays and other issues make this a losing proposition, especially compared to newer aircraft like Saab's newest model.
*over repeated landings in the same exact spot during high pace flight operations.
It landed vertically a few time at RIAT. Saab aircraft dont
teven compare to the F-35. The F-35 will be the most numerous 5th gen aircraft in the world. with over 2000 planned
As I understand it the AF has already stated they were going to cut back on the number they'd originally planned to buy, in part due to continued cost overruns and other issues with the system.
Andrew Van Der Plaats They haven't had a single overrun since 2013.
It's true... Lemons CAN fly!
Why only 1 engine? I think this will be the first time the Navy will let a jet operate on its carriers with only 1 engine. Navy requirement has always be 2 engines for fighters. Look at Russian fighters, all twin engines, just in case 1 fails. Engine failure can happen on Russian and American planes.
Twin engine VTOL aircraft if having problem with one of the engines during vertical landing/take-off will roll instantaneously without any chance of recovery.
The Sea Harrier had one engine, and was extremely reliable.
Maybe the plane is a little bit slower for the audience to see it.. and the plane is built for stealth
It seems to skid through turns.
Flying Iron Invisible
The F-35 looks like it has the turn radius of a continent.
That's not what I saw, even thought it looked far from max performance, anyway.
all jets are like that...
This is the B variant, limited to 7Gs. The turn was completed in a little over 25 seconds.
The C variant is capable of slightly higher 7.5Gs, while the A variant will be capable of 9Gs once Block 3F software is installed in 2018. Them it will have a 20 second minimum radius turn just like the F-16, Mig-29 and Su-27
a WW2 F8F bercat was limitated to 7,5G
I'm pretty sure the currently implemented software is limiting it at somewhere around 4.5g (i read it somewhere a while back)
Nice stealth technology!! Where is this plane????!!!!111
if we fight you it would be up your ass and the f22s will protect it
kinda like WW2 style f35s will bomb with precision while the f22s will provide fighter cover like the b17 and the mustang but this time the f35s can fight back instead of swarms of bombers we need a couple to take you shit out
+USA_Vegas SEA 5 with only 2 JDAM's per Plane (more would kill the Stealth factor) you would still need a whole swarm of these to cause any real destruction even with Precision-Bombing
thats why we have b1 and b2 stealth bombers and a whole bunch of armed expendable drones we can use as bait or bombers all you have to do is take out the air and command and control and AA missiles and everything else is sheep for the slaughter iraq had the 5th largest military in the world we destroyed it a couple of months its guerilla war that bogs down conventional militaries
new missiles and bombs are developed for the f-35 so 2 jdams it's not the only air to ground payload
4K CARLE!!!!!
хм..... где-то я уже это видел.... Может 1992 год??watch?v=WybwlN_UCVI
это такая болезнь "дежавю" ("deja vu" - "уже видел") :)))
mashamylaramu ;)
Yep Blue sky alert ☁️
it lapped at the Russian Yak-141 ahah 1989 development as well as the F-16 is a MiG-25
not its F15
I have seen a J-3 Cub performance that was a thousand times more exciting! (I swear I'm not kidding!)
Bet it never STOVL.
This is one sedate demonstration. What I have seen here is nothing that a vintage 1962 F-8 Crusader could not do. I have seen hair raising demonstrations from F-16s, FA-18s, and F-22s that would put his demonstration to shame. This F-35 just seems to be circling the field with an occasional climb. Anybody that knows anything about aviation can see this was a lackluster display. What kind of restriction is this plane still flying under?
Have you seen the F-22s display in it's early years? It was also as if they were afraid to break it. The F-35's are currently still limited to 7Gs. You won't see its full potential until a few years later.
New rules from the A.A.I.B. since the Shoreham crash
+Ian Stallings you're talking to a blind man you know?
The show doesn't allow much more than you see here because of the accident that happened a few years ago. They put restrictions in place for safety of the public.
I agree, maybe as you suggested, still under restrictions because that was not an impressive demonstration.
omg i remember watching this live
nice jet
How is it going to bow to the Queen?
Lockheed seems unclear on what "hover" means. Jinking all over the sky whilst balanced on a pinhead isn't quite it. I got the distinct impression that if the pilot sneezed, it would have toppled over and plummeted to the earth. Not bad for the second-best available engine, though.
The one good thing about modern military equipment is the more it costs the less of it we can afford.
Simple. The less equipment you have the smaller your forces become and the shorter the wars.
Not to mention nations are loath to risk expensive equipment. This plane is purely for show and will only ever be used for dropping bombs on third world countries that can't shoot back. It will never see combat against other nations that can shoot back. We reserve the nukes for them.
Good point. It's maybe in a similar situation to the B1 bomber? Looks good on paper, but not really needed.
The B1 is not supersonic. It's basically a large F-111 with a lil stealth capabilities.
I much prefer the looks of aEurofighter, the F-35 looks like it came out of a Science fiction film.
The helmet for this jet has a price tag of $350,000.
but the helmet is a game changer .

why worry about currency number in here...
not important to know and not worth...
dont need to put comment in here about currency...
what about ussr russia / china has helmets in the jetfighters...
are both did put currencys in here or not
I love facts not comments.
Hugo Woods love the fact / real / truth is better than currency in comment
If the Sukhoi see it, yes it will shoot it down with little problem. But the tech that went into this plane lets it not been seen and the F-35 will get the first shot before the Sukhoi ever sees it. These planes are not built for dog fighting. This is a new age.
still no vertical landing 😌
I just hope the U S doesn't make the same mistake it did in the 60's with the F-105, deploying a plane into a war zone for which it was not designed to fight. The F-105 was designed to deliver a single nuke bomb from it's huge bombay from flying low on the deck and then zoom up and get the hell out of dodge before the bomb went off. Nothing could catch the F-105 on the deck. In vietnam the F-105 could not fight it's way out of a turning and burning dog fight and was a sitting Duck against Mig 17's and 21's. The F-4 phantom a multirole plane was all missile armed and did not have a gun at first but was out classed by the Mig -21! An air force pilot once claimed that had he been flying a Mig-21, he could have shot down an F-4 Everyday!. Sometimes we rely on technology instead of designing a fighter that is just better and more maneuverable than other fighters.
Impressive hover time. I don't believe the Harrier can hover that long as the engine overheats.
Very true, Harrier hover time is limited to the amount of water it carries, which is injected into the engine.
that depends on fuel level, no water is needed at all in most occasions
1:09 in and I hear an American 'Eurofighter, hah hahaha'
Presumably he's laughing at the superiority of the Typhoon over the ineptitude of this aircraft which is so bad I cannot believe we were conned into buying it.
The only thing you were conned by was actually the medias, who intentionally shat all over the F-35.
LM announces the price for this plane will be off 57%....
bring back the harrier
beatiful
Apparently it can fly.
And POOF it´s gone.
Spasiba.
Just like the Ruble.
A ruble can´t fly.
Russian Jets did such things 30 years ago for example: YAK-141
I still see unspent fuel behind this craft just like ones from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's,10's. Love this though, a kinda MK2 Harrier Jump Jet. I still believe we can make better than this, this is not an advancement in any way. This is for Joe public and the good stuff is of limits... We all know that.
I went there
Where i work, I see them "fly" every day. Many of them. Piiiiiiiiig !
Can't even perform a single acrobatic maneuver, just flies in a circle…wow, cool! Notice it can't actually land or takeoff vertically either due to ill-designed engine exhaust that would explode the concrete. It only hovers well above the ground.
+Adolf Putin Yeah, simulated shoot downs of F-16C's with outdated radar and no IRST or jamming is quite a feat. 😂
+Adolf Putin Mmmmhmm, let's see your source on that. Seems the Air Force very conveniently forgot to release the actual details of these scenarios in which a "20-1" kill ratio was achieved.
Pretty sweet. Not sure if its worth $225m a piece though.
It isnt 225m$ pr piece
I think some sources list the plane price with out the engine. The engine is about 26 million dollars.
Its already down to $100m each
there are many ways of *pricing* this plane. first there is 1990 dollars using some bizarre method of reverse engineering inflation to make the figures look good. Then there is the cost of the airframe which is just that. Airframe only, jet or electronics not included. Then we have "fly away price". This is the airframe + jet sans fancy electronics. If you want this jet on the tarmac, ready for a mission, its $225m+
Well, find a credible source within the past few months indicating that price.
Kudos to F-35B - the most successful clone of Yak-141.
Anthony M educate yourself yourself: aircraft layout, landing gear, swivel nozzle, twin boom-twin tail, supersonic VTOL - you guys have made this shit flying under name X-35, which is an achievement.
Great Job! Yours have passed prototype stage and good news: it can use the gun in-flight (first tested on Nov 2nd 2015)!
+mashamylaramu Whatever you say which doesnt say much....
+mashamylaramu I can say that about the PakFa being copied tech from Raptor but I won't because again, PakFa is a proven piece of shit.
Yep. :-)) Russians had something of the sort centuries ago.
Anthony M F-22? somebody risking flying them (not in the Hollywood CGI)?
Such a good plane, why they don't make them anymore. Have to admit , very influential design.
people talking in the background though :D
+GH0ST 1 hospitality suite behind me...
'
F-35 is a soo cool jetfighter but need to have add 2 jetmotors...
same as A-10 / F-14 / F-15 / F-18 / F-22 has 2 jetmotors...
better than 1 jetmotor
Amazing plane, funny how the haters follow every video to say this plane sucks, blah blah blah
It's like science fiction. Very impressive, but can the massive cost and complexity be justified?
Seems a hell of a lot more complex than the Harrier, i'm presuming the arrangement of the rear lift fan is designed to incorporate an afterburner something rather more difficult on the Harrier, but i seem to remember Harrier trials using afterburners on the rearmost engine outlets.
F-35B rotates its jet engine's nozzle downward so yes its a after burning jet nozzle not a rear lift fan. Lift fan in front of engine only, thrust thru front doors.
Seems that way, but it an order of magnitude easier to control than a Harrier by nearly every account I have heard. A fair number of pilot have been injured or killed just trying to learn to control Harriers
+Neil Talyor actually thats not true the harrier does not have afteerburners. unless they mounted rockets to it. the nozzles have a tendency to glow if they get too hot
Spot on
+Neil Taylor i think that with the technology that the f-35 has, i dont think it will use afterburners while hovering
Is it pregnant?
Yes, with weapons.
Esto lo debe implementar el gobierno de Colombia ahora que Venezuela y la guerrilla de las FARC es un problema si pedir muchos protocolos debe de adquirir 15 a 20 a aviones cazas de ultima tecnologia F35
look ! A flying cow !
a flying cow that can shoot down a Rafale before it even knew the f-35 was there
brett garnett
ah ah ah lol ! do you really think this that ??
defenseissues.wordpress.com/2015/09/11/dassault-rafale-vs-f-35/
good read guy ;)
Lol i see you get your facts from unverified internet links lol
OK. We all remember the "invisible" f-117. The PR company was a powerful fighter. But against a very old Russian air defense fighter was powerless. And was made on the basis of stealth technology. And about electronics, if the aircraft can affect the s-400 at a distance of over 400 km, which is unlikely, then it is still possible to talk about something. Anyway judging by his speed, and thickness, the F-35 is probably even visible from the satellite and from the satellite it can detect. Sorry for my English!)
We also remember the thousands of airstrikes stealth launched with complete impunity despite the russian air defense in Serbia before they managed to score one hit
Then the range of air defense was small, all the same weapons 70s. What about the thousands of airstrikes I agree. Most of the airstrikes were on a peaceful village, there was no protection. But Americans can be proud of this illegal military operation. Then killed 1700 civilian.
In General, if you're so smart, you know, before the airstrikes the Americans destroyed the air defense with cruise missiles "Tomahawk". Your President at that time went to our drunken Yeltsin agreed that he did not sell Serbia a modern air defense, defending against cruise missiles. the f-117 after this operation was removed from production because nobody wanted to buy it, if this aircraft can be shot down very old Soviet air defense.
Michael Dodge Where's your laser gun? Only in Hollywood, as far as I know. Russian and Chinese military already has a laser weapon in the army, and the Pentagon has only prototypes. You wouldn't know that because your media say, only what you want to hear. Energy weapons have no us army, you seen enough movies. Your rail gun is still in development. Moreover, it has been under development for 30 years. Read about the Russian glider Yu-74, and then compare with your development. As I recall, the Pentagon froze the program for a hypersonic UAV and decided to confine hypersonic missiles. Chinese WU-14 is even better than your Advanced Hypersonic Weapon, which exploded in the air.
Алекс Смирнов Russia does not have the money or industrial capability to keep up. They just don't
Dalton Morgan Again the old song about the dollars. You shot than in Iraq and Syria of weapons? Dollars. If you've been shooting dollars, this is not much help. And in Russia's military industrial capacity is very high, as is left to us with the Soviet Union.
Какая легкая мишень для российских ПВО.
he said: "What an easy target for the Russian air defense." lol
WildBillHabiki А что с этой легкой мишенью для самых лучших в мире российских ПВО?
ГОСТРОЛНАДЗОР: заработал. Now get lost.
I'm not going to shit on Russian air defense but the US has all the tools to defeat it, including missiles that go a farther range that can be shot from aircraft. And don't forget you must first lock onto this stealth aircraft if you are not jammed or compromised first.
More goes into this argument than I'm willing to argue, there's just too many variables in war.. just know there would be invasion by land, SAMs are not always reliable, need a lock on.. give away their position and can be jammed. You shouldn't be in the habit of finding articles that only agree with you, besides the first sentence of the article agrees with what i said, the US has the tools to defeat your AA.
everyone seems to be forgetting that it CANT take off vertically what a waste of money and time !!
You might want to check YOUR facts sunshine..... the F-35B is STOVL capable, which you will find stands for SHORT Take Off Vertical Landing (as opposed to the F-35A which is CTOL... ie conventional take-off & landing). No joke.............
yea, so it can take off vertically. I know what STOVL stands for thankyou very much
Where did you appear from?? I was replying to CC above, but trying not to state the bleeding obvious here, you obviously don't understand what it means because otherwise it would be VTOL wouldn't it ? Short take- off is not the same as vertical take-off. Whilst the F-35B is physically capable of vertical take-off, it's of no use because it can't carry any weapons or enough fuel to be of any use... hence the STOVL capability.
OMG, how many different ways do I have to say this? Since when did stating the facts become a silly remark then ? Yeah you did say F-35, but NONE off them take-off vertically in military use. The 'A' model definitely can't take off vertically.. it's designated CTOL.. conventional take-off & landing. The 'B' model has the capability as it has vectored thrust, but as I said before it's of no practical use, which is why it's known as STOVL, which I'm not gonna bother explaining again. Sheesh...
Not to bright are you?
Flying lemon.
Sprey Parrot
lol
Educate yourself you fool
VTOL operations seems to be very complicated...
Harrier, come back! You are forgiven!
It did look really complicated, but seeing it was amazing.The stability was so far in advance of anything i ever saw a harrier do, and let's be honest, those Harrier boys had to work damn hard to make it do what it did. Whereas this seems a lot more.........carefree. Bet it can't VIFF like the harrier though LOL
harrier was really hard on the pilot though, the F35 is much easier to use
Harrier is not supersonic, without armament bay, and is very limited in armament weight, radar and electronic flight.
Can some tell which is the payload in V/STOL operations?
Pricewise...
the boeing fighter had this enormous nose feature made it look strange so perhaps that is why the other side won? and at only $135 million dollars each. the usaf will use one in the morning and the usn in the afternoon :) too expensive, the UK jumpjet is a better option than this thing.
su-35 very cool this shirt)
