First F-35B Vertical Takeoff Test

An F-35B test aircraft completes its first-ever vertical takeoff (VTO) at NAS Patuxent River, Md., on May 10, 2013. While not a capability used in combat, VTOs are required for repositioning of the STOVL in environments where a jet could not perform a short takeoff. In these cases, the jet, with a limited amount of fuel, would execute a VTO to travel a short distance.

[@plapkoki4119]

The amount of engineering that went into this is unbelievable Just look how steady it is

[@grdprojekt]

Note how the pilot can drop the plane slowly for touch down, compare to AV-8B Harrier pilots that's required to turn down the engine quite significantly and slam the plane at the last one/two foot.

Interesting you should say that. In summer 1969, my family lived in Berkeley Missouri which is a few miles east of Lambert International airport-St. Louis. Lambert airport was the location of the Headquarters for McDonnell Douglas Aviation. Just days after the lunar landing of Apollo 11, my father was driving my sister and I on Lindbergh Ave. approaching Interstate 270/255 which is northwest of the airport. As we approached the highway overpass we saw something over the roadway. This area was not undeveloped like a farmer's field. It was primarily a business community with car dealerships and restaurants. Beyond the interchange on all sides was single family residential housing. It was of course not unusual to see aircraft considering the proximity to the airport, but this did not seem to be moving. And it was no helicopter. It was primarily white with orange painted highlights and it was floating essentially motionless. This being a summer day around 11 am, and clear blue skies, it hovered over the southeast cloverleaf of the interchange at about 200 feet. And it was LOUD. As we got closer to it my father began slowing down our car as we all looked at this thing, mouths open in amazement. We weren't the only ones either. It was a Saturday morning and traffic was very light, but other cars on all the various lanes and directions were slowing to have a look to the degrees that traffic came to a halt. My sister asked, "What is that? A UFO?" She was 4 years older than me, my being 5 years of age. I think my father's reply was along the lines of, "I dunno." We passed by it within several hundred feet at a snail's pace while it rotated slightly. Once we were about a quarter mile away it rose to a higher altitude and moved away. The discussion for the next ten minutes was obviously what it was, how it stayed in the air and where it came from. Considering the recent moon landing and related extraterrestrial life/UFO discussions on the news, my sister admitted to being afraid of whatever it was. When we returned home we told our mother and older brothers about it. Big mistake. Of course they assumed we were kidding. When our father confirmed what we saw, he also became the receiver of frowns and snickering from our brothers. My mother asked him if it was true, which he said it was, but even mom gave him a look of "Seriously?........" Eventually we learned it was better to not bring up the subject anymore for fear of mocking. Many years later, while visiting Schaeffer's Hobby Shop in south St. Louis, (I was probably in my early twenties) I was looking through the "In Action" series of Squadron aircraft soft back books when something caught my eye. On the back of one was an artist's rendition of the aircraft I my sister and father had seen many years prior. It was the "Harrier In Action" book. I was very familiar with Harriers and many different types of aircraft being a model kit builder almost exclusively of 1:48 scale. I had completely forgot about the incident but seeing artwork of the Harrier, reminded of it. I looked in the book for an explanation of it, and remembered that prototype military aircraft were painted white with orange highlights for higher visibility during flight testing. The reason the aircraft was over that road in 1969 I learned was that the US Marines were very interested in the AV-8 Harrier for its VTOL capabilities. McDonnell Douglas had been partnering with Hawker Siddley to purchase Harriers from the British. The aircraft floating over the highway was being tested, and scaring the shit out of my older sister. And setting her my father and I and probably numerous witnesses up for unwanted mockery from our family members when we told the tale.

Haters keep hatin' Truly one of the best aircraft technology wise and a marvel of engineering, thankfully the US goverment know better than to fall for internet's cancel culture and keep it in development and now serial production, i am for one thankful for its existense despite the negative comments and false facts being spreaded by dumb twitter """experts""", reformers and russian propaganda, stay strong USA

[@Joh1002mm]

I can never understand people saying that the f35 and f22 are unnecessary... russia, china, and even Japan and India are developing 5th generation stealth fighters. Should we just not develop 5th generation stealth fighters as well? I admit, their development was horrendous and the costs are exorbitant. But this is because no one has made a 5th generation stealth fighter before, especially with vtol (LOL). It makes me laugh how some people think making the f22 and f35 should have been a piece of cake. The fact that the f22 is the only combat operations 5th generation stealth fighter to have even flown missions is a testament to the advantages of not falling behind in fighter technologies, and being a leader.

[@iii5169]

Joh1002mm hah fuck off, Russia made 3 5th generation fighters, Su47, Mig1.44 and Yak141 during 1990s, when USA didn't even develop F22 prototype , and now Russia has Su57, it gone late because of USSR collapse and economy crisis, it's all fine now and Russia will reply every American fighter by creating it's own new Russian equivalent the Yak141 designs were sold to Lockheed Martin and they made the JSF Programme which is now the F35, the Americans have copied the Russian tech and you little fuck giving us some history lessons? go learn yourself kid

[@dionjeremy1711]

I work on the ec130 a aircraft that is over 30 yrs olds and there is a ton of top secret capabilities I'm not allowed to know about unless it's needed for my job.The f35 is less than a decade old highly advanced and lockhead Martin contractors do most of the in depth maintenance.There is a ton of things we don't know about this aircraft.Unless you actually work on the aircraft your opinion is equal to nothing considering half the people on Don't even work on aircraft in general.

I didn't know that there is a VTO variant. What an amazing bit of engineering.

[@Lee_303]

For just one reason it replaces the Harrier jump jet. The lift off is a bit gimmicky but being able to land on Naval carriers without hitting the side or running off the end must be a god send. The Navy carry out more planned, precision strikes & a stealth jet that can see over the horizon with VTOL is great for that.

[@soromin]

vertical takeoff?! that's bad ass 10/10 would waste tax dollars again

[@skyscall]

Yet the project for the plane lasted for over ten years, without a single mass-produced version ever built. And, it costed more than all of the US fighter planes costed since the P-47 and P-51... combined. Badassery can't be promised now, can it?

All you F-35 haters sound just like the F-16 haters back in the day. Now everybody loves the "legendary" F-16. The F-35 will be exceptional at its job. You all will eat your words a decade from now so let me be the first to say "I told you so"...

[@barnaulishe]

decade

[@theoriginalmikee]

Really? Saying the F-35 "will be exceptional" without any proof of performance or combat use isn't accurate, at all. The F-16 was a rather successful design, while the F-35 was developed strictly to become a cash cow for Lockheed and the MIC.

In simulated fights between the F-35 and the F-16 the F-16 had a win rate of almost 100%. Im sorry, but if the new, incredibly expensive Plane cant even beat the one it is supposed to replace you can not really talk about a "exceptional job"

I am really curious.. there are a lot of clips on here but none that I have seen show actual forward takeoff into flight from a hovering state after vertical liftoff... thx frien~

[@Mech780]

+KMurdock1974 I think that is still impossiable because it needs speed to get the lift on the wings,when they would try to forward fly,aircraft would probably stall and crash.

The B variant is capable of VTOL, A and C variants aren't

[@TheRedKing247]

That's basically the entire reason it's so expensive is the VTOL capability of the B variant. Thing is it is a pretty huge advantage because it means we can use STOVL carriers rather than CATOBAR supercarriers to launch planes, but we still do have the A and C variants for normal take offs. People rag on this plane too much.

[@hoghogwild]

@@TheRedKing247 The F-35B can only do a low fuel and no stores VTO, for operations/combat it's a STOVL aircraft.

[@TheRedKing247]

@@hoghogwild Thats why I said STOVL carriers

[@hoghogwild]

@@TheRedKing247 You said "is the VTOL capability of the B variant" which for combat it does not possess. Though if they simply required to ferry a jet from one carrier to another, or from a carrier to a close by land base or vice-versa, they could use that limited VTOL capability with low fuel loading and no internal/external stores in place..
