F35 Loop
Nov 21, 2015 08:26:36 #
Passing on an EMAIL.
You mentioned the reaction time needed by military pilots, (with the little video game). This video shows why they need to be so quick!
Read this text before watching the video - F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier. The video is only a few seconds long. This guy clearly has brass and you have to know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them. Intentional? Hardly!
This is unbelievable! F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff, a real "check your laundry" event.
A supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million, F-35 joint strike force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem.
There's nothing about this the pilot could enjoy. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more "regressive testing". This is a unique demonstration of the power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control... wow!
If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it definitely would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him! Add to this flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment malfunctions, as in "flame out". The F-35 is single engine aircraft with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has aerodynamics properties comparable to a Steinway piano at zero airspeed. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life.
This guy's coolness saved a 70 million-dollar aircraft! On the other hand, he might not have had time to react to anything except just ride it.
I bet you'll watch it at least 2 times!

Not only is it unbelievable, it is a clip from a video game. See the ammunition status in the lower right?

They should train the guys to do that as a routine take-off. Impressive!

hahaha, r u you kidding. Here I am going WOW. OMG. Thanks for the update. I traced back to the video on the guys page. I was going to see if someone else said that or I was going to leave a comment. He does not allow. Again.......OMG. The detail in the video does look suspect. I just thought it was crappy rendering. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fool me once..................

This is from a video game. I have worked on the F-35 program for ten years. This does not happen simply put,

Yeah, we got that from moglive. My daughter works for Boeing and her boyfriend trains F15 pilots in onboard equipment. If I would have sent it to them they would have corrected me. That is ok anyway, Fantasy is a much better world. Thanks.

The video is a computer generated video. I worked for Lockheed Martin for 37 years and us graphics guys were just having some fun.
