    The F35's train out here in Phoenix area from Luke AFB and my house is under the flight path way out in the north desert near lake pleasent, they always fly in pairs... when the normal F16's fly or other jets, the noise isnt too bad. Then when an F22 flys over, its loud, buit when an F35 flys over, HOLY FFFFKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! They are deafening!!!! they are SO loud (I know what plane it is by ADS-B transponders that I track and feed multiple sites) Sometimes they dont turn on transponders (FAA granted the military special exceptions), but when they do, seeing the F35 signature show up is awesome, and seeing it when they fly over, they are a BEAST of an aircraft!!!! A true marvel of engineering.

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
    The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

      It isn't a video about the British harrier although the American version was mentioned. Unfortunately the harrier is on its way out. Although the harrier proved what a STOVL aircraft could do even with the limits of had. The F-35b is the next step though, is lift fan system is way more efficient than the harriers vectored thrust nozzles. The F-35 is supersonic, stealthy, carries about double the ordinance and fuel. Quite literally the harrier walked so the F-35b could run. Unfortunately I think the harrier had already got it's last airshows in, the A-10 isn't doing anymore after this year either, and the Kc-10 just recently had it's last flight

    Harrier was over 60 years ago. I love how Americans leave out the original build. BRITISH!

      It gets mentioned EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. What do you mean, doesn't get mentioned? It was innovative. Congrats Britain, take your bow. Now we can move 6 decades in the future 😂 go drink some tea and look at your crippled military capability. Y'all invent one thing (although awesome) and can't drop it. There are reasons most countries don't run VTOL aircraft anymore, they have downsides. Can't wait to hear about the Harrier for the 87th time 😂

    Do the F-15 Strike Eagle sometime! That is the best fighter, aside from the F-14. One of my family members that I never met, he worked a little bit on the F-15 in the 80s when it started. He was Richard Stockton Rush III who died on the Ocean Gate submarine

      The whole jet cost less than 120 million per unit with some spare parts and support services. The engine costs tens of millions the flight computers probably a couple million a piece as they have to withstand the heat, cold, EM interference, and G-forces needed for use in a fighter jet. The voice recognition was almost certainly just intended as a assistive feature for the radio and other non critical tasks as it is going to be limited by the pilots wearing oxygen masks and by lacking any external processing limiting it to whatever processing power the flight computers can spare while prioritizing real time flight data computation.
