The F-35B does not have a vertical engine. The front Lift-Fan is driven off the one jet engine Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-600 via the Rolls-Royce Lift-System.

[@glencrandall7051]

Almost 100 years of evolution. Amazing progress. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂

[@TheMrgoodmanners]

What evolution? We've had jet powered flight for more than 70yrs now

[@garymiller5937]

Pretty amazing things they do. I'm impressed.😊

[@pitech4446]

this is why USA is number#1, this is just one national security industry, just look at how many national security we have.

[@TheDustysix]

The F-35B Lift Fan is Not a separate engine. It is Shaft driven off the F-135-PW-600 Engine.

Man, would I have loved to have been a jet engine assembly technician with a career spanning, say, 40 years. Would certainly have earned good pay with a solid retirement fund accumulation at the end.

[@rael5469]

"good pay with a solid retirement fund accumulation at the end." Don't bet on it. The aviation industry is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Tens of thousands of lives have been destroyed by robber baron corporate thieves. I hate to say it. I wish it were otherwise.

[@ChinaChuck]

My dad worked for Lockheed Martin over the course of 42 years. However, he was laid off three times, one of those long enough that he felt like an unwanted burden upon the family and contemplated suicide to help us. Fortunately a job at Siemens came available at just the right moment. Praise God! Dad finally retired with credit for 29 years. PS: He retired while the F-22 was wrapping up and I loved the rare opportunity to tour the factory. I was amazed how big the engines are on both the F-22 and F-35.

[@HRHolm-bi6zu]

@@ChinaChuck Glad it worked out well for him in the end. "Looks Like He Made It."

[@Chris_at_Home]

I worked on the assembly floor of P&WA a couple of years in the late 1970s. It was a cool job with good pay and benefits. I did well there Electronics was my thing and I quit. I was an avionics tech on P-3 Orions in the Navy. I was making over 3 times what I made at P&WA in a couple years doing electronics work in Alaskas oil field. I retired from AT&T doing communications along the pipeline and working a gateway satellite earth station. My oldest brother was the 3rd generation to retire from P&WA. My dad worked on a rocket engines in W Palm Beach in the early 1960s and then on the Apollo fuel cell in Connecticut. Heck, my best friend growing up ended up a manager in engineering. He had a degree in metallurgy.

[@gerardosalazar161]

Why didn’t you? What happened?

[@SuperSaiyan3985]

That is not a vertical engine on the F-35B. It’s called a LiftFan and it’s powered directly by the engine’s torque.

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

interesting way to explain how works a plane engine , despite I´ve never flying on a plane.

[@Istandby666]

I was at Edwards Air Force Base during the testing of this aircraft. The reason the 35 was built, was to give the u.s. a plane they could sell. The technology on the 22, is still top secret and when it goes out of service, it will still be top secret. The closet plane today to the 22 is the B-21. If you still think these aircraft are advanced, you should have seen what was being developed in the early 90's.

[@HonISfirE]

early 90's? any example?

[@mustafaibrisevic7492]

Aferim za tehnologiju.

[@benz9063]

hope the overheating issue is not going to affect the new units produced.

[@barrysrcdump3557]

I thought the F-35 had a single engine and a shaft drive to the forward lift fan, through adjustable clutches. Silly me. 🤷‍♂️

[@SuperSaiyan3985]

LOL no you’re exactly right, the video’s wrong.

Realy I like this factory so much

[@HartsPerformance]

I get to test the f135 engines here in Oklahoma. They are pretty insane in person. Getting up close to all the machining and engineering on each part is amazing. Not all your facts were correct tho. Still a great video none the less

[@TheMrgoodmanners]

They aren't that amazing. The f16, f18 and certainly f15 have better engines. Whats so mesmerizing abt this plane?

[@benoitlaferriere8581]

Dependable engines

[@forzaelite1248]

​@@TheMrgoodmannersthey make more power than the engines in any of the aircraft you just mentioned, and in the case of the Hornet it makes more power than its 2 engines and ties with the Super Hornet's improved twin engines. It's not even a completely bespoke design, having sourced from the F119 and still manages to power both the aircraft and numerous systems onboard that would likely fry legacy fighters trying to run them.

[@timmainson]

@@forzaelite1248 Well said. this. engine is the evolution of the F119 and proud to be so. The difference in performance between the F-35 and. F15 stem from differences. in aerodynamics and USAF changes in doctrines.

[@terryingram7419]

You get to test F 35 engines you must be at Tinker I used to work on TF 30- P109

Nonstop military spending but the budget deficit is over 35 trillion dollar. Moneyprinting is mad in USA. Destroys the whole market soon. 2008 was a light crash

[@spankflaps1365]

A billion dollars for the engine, then a billion dollars for a landing strip that can withstand the heat, then another billion when it sucks in a bird.

[@gbengaajayi6462]

😆😩

[@winstonpoplin]

A Boeing 747's engine can cost from 700,000 to 1.5 million. Nowhere close to a billion. And one of these engine can suck in many small birds with no issues. Though larger birds like geese can cause a problem but that is very rare.

[@nate4745]

A billion dollars ain't worth that much anymore. It's not only the engine costing more but also the dollars having less value. It's called 'Inflationary Spending'. If a thing costs a dollar and the government doubles the amount of dollars in circulation, that thing will cost two dollars.

[@RazelDiel-vh9tp]

[@Bergondora]

At 1:54 it's not even mentioned that the fan at the front generates most of the thrust. Also the turbine stages after combustion seems to be described as a compressor.

Jet engine do not have 1000s of moving parts, some assemblies have 100s of parts, but operate as a unit. The F35 does not have a front vertical engine, it has a "FAN" driven off the main engine

[@shannonjurgens3667]

Modern engines do indeed have a thousand moving parts. Just the IGV system alone has several hundred.

[@bountyhuntermk2520]

Keep the noise down little man

[@forzaelite1248]

​@@shannonjurgens3667that seems a bit much, afaik the moving parts of a jet engine are usually just the turbines which total up to two or three spools; I guess the compressor/turbine blisks count up to 10-15 or so if you count them unless you're referring to all the fuel/oil valves. Technically speaking, engines like ramjets and scramjets have no moving parts at all

[@ar-visions]

if a part A is attached to a rotating part does that make part A moving?

[@johno9507]

What about the fuel control unit, pneumatic starter, hydraulic pumps, oil scavange pumps, pressure pumps, pressure reducing shut off valves, check valves, thrust reversers, dynamic seals, Intergrated drive generators, dedicated alternator, fan air valve, gear box...how many moving parts do they have...and yes I fix jet engines.

[@danwarnick1283]

"Snecma Pulse". Snecma of France (Villaroche) was the original 50/50 partner with GE for the CFM56 series engines. Snecma is now Safran and they remain strong partners for the CFM56 (50/50 is pretty strong, right?) and lesser partner for a number of other engine collaborations. Safran, is their name now and they also produce other, standalone, engines themselves.

Do they test every engine they manufacture?

[@oscarkanstrup5914]

I think for the price of the engines and the small amount used and manufactured they probably run tests on every engine also considering a mistake could be a one time mistake since it is made by humans and also considering the chance of the engines failing mid flight is to dangerous so if the manufacturer doesn’t test it the buyer definitely will

[@danwarnick1283]

"Acceptance Test" is considered a part of production and is SOP in most cases. They do this of course to ensure any post-assembly issues are caught and remedied before delivery to any customer. Acceptance Test also establishes a baseline for an engine that can be used to project out maintenance planning into the future. There's a lot more to it than just that, but that is the gist of it.

"Do they test every engine they manufacture?" Yes !

There are many kinds of air breathing engines - this is not unique to jet engines. Also, factories primary function is to make and assemble. The things they design are not engines but are items associated with making and assembling the engines.
