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. 🙂🙂

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]

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.

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

[@user-vb5sr7hf5y]

It's crazy how many parts the engine has.. Hush Houses, NASA, and jet engines, fun times!.

[@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]

[@sarcof3459]

It's crazy how many parts the engine has.

[@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.

[@xiaoleicao5534]

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@rael5469]

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

[@RyanPlate]

5:11 Did they really just say "...the organization's smegma pulse..."??

[@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.

It's all fun and games until that electric plane receives a wing strike from lightening and its batteries are fried... *laughs in Jet fuel* Some things although innovative and cool, pose an unnecessary risk to integrate it as an industry standard. I for one will not be flying on any electric-powered planes if I am still alive by then.

[@billakers6082]

Nor fly an airline that has hiring practices of diversity over skill and ability.

[@twisterwiper]

Do you know how much a modern plane relies on electronics already? A battery will not add any risk that is not already there.

[@billakers6082]

A Boeing 787 is mostly electric, flaps, landing gear and most all of the major systems that were handled by hydraulics and pneumatics in older aircraft. Engines powered by electricity in transport category aircraft is another matter. Transport category aircraft are designed to take a lightning strike without major damage, I've had seven.

[@mark-1234]

On a side note, the push for EVs completely ignores the fact that it'll create a huge demand for lithium and cobalt. If you want to call that "sustainable," go check out the conditions and processes involved in those respective mines. (I warn you, it's not for the faint of heart.) The issue I have with environmentalists is most of them are clueless to the processes involved so all they really accomplish is exchanging one source of pollution for another, or moving the offending substance or industry to another country. Then they pat themselves on the back because they believe they're "saving the planet."

[@h8GW]

Well, that's more of a reactionary view than a measured view on EV things. ALL humans pollute and exploit the environment they live in; it's actually natural for us to do so. I would say EVs are almost always better from an environmental stance, as they can be powered from a very large variety of electricity generation, with wildly different battery chemistries that are possible. A very strong anti-EV view usually means a poor grasp on the downsides of fossil fuels -also leaded avgas.- Having such a narrow focus makes you *_think_* EVs are the problem, and not instead overpopulation and developing economies that eat more and more resources per person. In any case, I don't believe EVs are a complete solution, and that they should be complimented with more investments in renewable biofuels.
