Amazing Retractable Ladder Mechanisms: Boarding US Fighters & Attack Aircraft

[@timdale4047]

I read that in the event of ladder failure pilots had springs in their boots installed by ACME, tested by Wyle E Coyote.

[@tomomk2728]

0:46 やっぱりA-10っぽいパイロットが来た、この安心感よw

[@Machines.In.Action]

This is fascinating! I never knew that the A-10 had such a unique boarding system! 💪✈

[@Natural_Intelligence_]

- Board! The pilot shouted and climbed into the plane

[@johncage5368]

"We need something to get in the cockpit." - "Like ... a ladder?" - "No no, we want something different this time." - "..." - "How many options of ladder can you come up with?" - "Buckle up, DOD" 😉😂

[@Tirah5]

Ok. You tried to be funny. I give you that.

[@jeffsaffron5647]

These planes are made by completely different manufacturer, designed decades apart. A-10 - Fairchild Aircraft F-15 - Boeing F-35 - Lockheed Martin AV-8B - McDonnell Douglas

[@johncage5368]

@@jeffsaffron5647 I'm aware. Nevertheless it's funny the solutions are so different.

[@BobSpiffy1]

Patents do apply, so different solutions. Also, austere remote operations capability, precludes having ladders everywhere.

[@大善-k9y]

機種ごとにそのコンセプトに合った梯子の格納方法と厳つさがあるなぁ (ホーネットが主翼側に折りたたむ方式だとはびっくり)

[@dorsetdumpling5387]

I could never be an A10 pilot - my fear of heights would kick in halfway up that ladder

[@joetuktyyuktuk8635]

🤣🤣🤣 I see what you did there.

[@0.02mm]

空母の上はスペースが限られてて外付け梯子を置きたくないので、艦載機は内蔵式ラダーを持つって聞いてたけど、意外と空軍機も内蔵式あるんだ F15の内蔵式ラダーとか初めて見た… 上のほうのステップ？って常に押すだけであんな感じに露出するのかな？それとも下の梯子を伸ばしたときだけ出せる仕様？ そしてハリアーの下からﾆｭって伸びてくるステップは電動式かと思いきや、シンプルにキャノピーの動きと物理的に繋がってて連動してるだけなんだ とても合理的

[@ファントムドライ]

あんなにきれいに収まるもんなんだな

[@superrichboy]

I never knew I needed this video. Thank you.

[@稔林-y2c]

A-10よ、君はラダーまで魅力的なのか！

[@佐倉-v4e]

梯子を収納してくれる人が必要だから一人じゃ戦闘機には乗れないね整備済みの機体でも

[@健太前田-m9l]

短足&身体固いワイ、イーグルを断念。 それはそうとアメ車と英車(車？)で搭乗方向が左右違うの興味深いですね

[@スナネコ-g1e]

F15の外装が凹んで足場になる仕組み面白いな あとF18はストレーキの部分が足場も兼ねてるから乗り降りしやすそう

[@traceyking2584]

Safe, sensible and light. Impressive

[@Stoneham64]

I can't understand why I was enjoying watching this video about retractable ladders! I'm off to searching for a collection different drain plugs.

[@hondafn2541]

F/A-18のが一番造りがしっかりしてそう　見てて安心感ある F-15のとか華奢ですぐ足踏み外しそう

[@Valions301]

F-16には内蔵の梯子がついていないので支援機材のない基地に着陸した場合は乗り降りが結構大変なんだとか 因みにF-16を元にしたF-2にはコクピット内に縄ばしごが収納されているそうです

[@Нет-и6р]

If the F-16 lands in a field, then it cannot be serviced without a ramp, it cannot be serviced. If he lands in the field, this is already an aviation incident.

[@smarttv-n4i]

А зачем лестницу в небо брать ?Лучше топлива или снарядов.

[@perfectomprg]

Great thanks! Now please post a video how to fly these things, that will be everything I need.

[@ピタゴラスケッチ]

やっぱり陸上と空母は大分違いますね海軍機はラダーの構造がしっかりしている

[@chrisweber3379]

You can see how the F-14 Tomcat boarding ladder works in "Top Gun: Maverick" when they steal the Tomcat.

[@ProfRage]

...That was awesome.

[@vd1170]

Despite having built in ladders, From which of these showcased aircrafts, can a pilot unpack and get down without any sort of intervention from ground crew?

[@Nightdare]

Just pull the ejection lever

[@モフリウム]

海軍→空母甲板でハシゴを用意するのは邪魔だから F15→採用国が少く専用のハシゴがないから A10→不整地運用を考慮して F35→設計が共通だから それぞれ違って面白い

[@Chikyu_gin]

F15の一番上のステップの蓋はブラブラのままなんすね。飛ぶときバタバタしたり・・・・しないんだろうな

[@The_monspubis_is_my_mother]

ハリアーのエンジン、ガラガラ言ってるけど大丈夫なのかな？ そして接地した瞬間の音と、同時にスラスタが後ろ向くのいいですね。

[@ぺけぺけ-z8n]

ハリアーだけが右側から乗り降りするのは開発国が右ハンドルのイギリスだからなのかな

[@Kibun-Souki]

あっ、なるほど😂

[@모닝커피_XD]

F-15は外付け梯子しか見た事なかったから内蔵されてるの初めて知った。

[@yuukirinon]

ハシゴのステップ幅はさすが米軍w 数少ないw 操縦士の体型に大体はわわせるんだろうけど... だいぶ幅が開いて、アメリカサイズ♪

[@mousqy]

ahhh now i know to board them now to learn flying

[@大仁哥-c9o]

So smart

[@semimin2]

新しい機体の場合、一人で降りるときは中から操作で出せるんですか？

[@theshawnmccown]

Yes. On the A10c there is a red round cap to the right that can be lifted and a button to extrend the ladder. But, to retract it, it requires ground crew. I'm not sure about the other aircraft.

[@申正義]

Nice design

[@小舟無水]

You can tell the Harrier is a British design because the pilot enters from the right hand side, just like a British car.

[@ahmedsaoudi2344]

The British: building the first vtol fighter jet? 🧠. Creating a descent ladder for said jet? 🦧

[@madkoala2130]

F-15 is all weather fighter while A-10 is low altitude, no radar, day time CAS bomber. You are comparing apples and oranges😂😂😂

[@joshcal7370]

@ and both have retractable boarding ladders, but the A-10 is more comfortable to stand on while you work compared to the F-15.

[@Davi3038849844]

c152 should have on of these to prevent falling off the strup step

[@kirsychev9214]

F-15 is the most laconic. A-10 is brutal as his cannon. AV-8 isn't ladder, but the attraction "plop down , getting out". And yes, right-hand driving wheel forever (ladder is on the right side of the plane).

[@johnny08sky46]

F-16, F-2, F-22: Why we dont have 😠😠😠

[@peepbmw]

Nice vdo Av8 ladder is so small

[@Stoneham64]

That's what she said

[@NetzKanal]

Wish to see how the man on the backseat of the F15 is getting in and out. Looks pretty tight.And at 7:56 what does that signal mean?

[@Omellykim]

might be a squadron-specific gesture, i couldnt find anything about it besides it might be connected to when they taxi

[@BryanW0765]

Using the internal ladder, the back seater climbs up and on to the intake, careful not to step on the edge of it. Normal ops are just to use a ladder that hooks on to the cockpit, then step over on to the intake.

[@Takahashi_san485]

収納機構が有るのは海軍機だけだと思っていました… イーグルのオールインワンタイプが、洗練されている感じがして好きでした！

F-16 jealous of everyone’s ladder 😢

[@note7770]

11:23 that noise is normal?????

[@RocketToTheMoose]

Yes, it's pretty typical. The fan blades aren't rigidly attached to the hub. Centrifugal force pulls and locks them into position once the RPM's are high enough. Sometimes when a jet is just sitting on the ground and the fan is wind milling in a breeze you can hear them going "tic-tic-tic."

[@Sky-u6i]

F35の格納ラダーはカバーを工具を使って開けなあかんのがめんどくさいな。 カバーを開けると今度はピンだらけだし。

[@samlin3017]

That's so cool, but why not just make a ladder with wheel in airport, common use to all kinds of airplane. Airplane can lose some weight, and cost will also less~just a thought

[@suppositoire]

Fighter aircraft need to be able to be deployed as quickly as possible, and may have to land in places that are not necessarily suitable for receiving them, or on the deck of an aircraft carrier where mobile ladders dragging and that could be blown all over the deck would not be the most suitable. They must therefore be at least somewhat autonomous, and have backup, which is why most of them also have an auxiliary power unit, to speed up start-up and not depend on equipment on the ground that may be absent.

[@rivaledrandom1282]

You wouldn't want to rely on another outside piece of equipment to be able to get in (and out) of your plane. When jets need to be scrambled EVERY second counts and having to wheel over a ladder takes time as they can't have one lying out everywhere. Simple solution is to have the ability to mount the jet built into the jet.

[@Mobius118]

From a new aerospace engineer, your line of thinking is absolutely correct. However I think the reason aligns with what the other individual stated: in the trade off between scramble time / getting in the air quickly, this solution was a good choice.

[@marekstanek112]

You must be in VERY good shape to be a fighter pilot in the first place. This is the least difficult physical exercise related to the job.

[@kittenastrophy5951]

Not much discreet in design for the back seat of F-15 (D/E/EX). The canopy should open higher to be easier to access.

[@elsepufreerider]

[@bentony7548]

since the ladder is not automatic, still need a ground crew to operate, so why not use just a normal ladder carrying by the ground crew

[@ferencmolnar6474]

... and thus saving weight, space and components

[@magoid]

11:24 I don't know about you guys, but I would be very nervous flying a single engine airplane, whose engine make those scratchy noises after it is shutdown.

[@avroarchitect1793]

That's every jet engine. And what that is, is the compressor blades flexing and rattling after they have cooled down and loosen. They are intentionally loose like that so when they get hot and expand they are secure.

[@marekstanek112]

Why? When you shut it down, it's because you don't need it.

[@uzes34]

Bonjour Une question Comment fait le pilote pour descendre de l avion tout seul lol il saute😂

[@vaclavgogolak9855]

А почему нельзя приставную лестницу использовать? Деревянную, что бы не поцарапать самолёт.

[@Александр-ю9р8ь]

[@ИгорьКузнецов-х4ж]

Ни один пилот не может самостоятельно убрать лестницу, так зачем она? А вот шансы постороннему человеку попасть в кабину увеличиваются.

[@markreynolds9888]

Why do the Navy and Marine maintainers wear head protection and the Air Force maintainers not?

[@samuelweir5985]

I'm surprised that ladders are built into all these fighters because ladders add weight and take up precious space and are another thing that can possibly go wrong. Wouldn't it be simpler to do away with built-in ladders and have a mobile ladder quickly moved next to the fighter when the pilot needs to get in or get out of the plane? I'm especially concerned about the built-in ladder with the F-35 because a built-in ladder means needing to make a little compartment that stores the ladder, and that compartment would have to be often opened and closed with the possibility of developing small problems with its fit that might cause it to develop a significant radar return.

[@ronaldannas1935]

As a person that has worked on a flight line before; the less that is carried out to the plane before take off, is less that has to be tracked before the plane can leave. Besides, if the plane lands somewhere they do not have a ladder for it, then the pilot would be stuck until one could be found.

[@Arnold-l1k]

Sometimes flying across country if you have to make a emergency landing at a general aviation Airport even a commercial field in a lot of cases they don't have the ladder capability available and that's why some of these aircraft have built-in ladders for the crews to use once they get on the ground

[@Нет-и6р]

Why is this built-in ladder needed? It is a waste of time, money (costs like a light car), effort, inconvenient and increases RCS. You can't service the plane with it. There is a normal ramp at any airfield. This is called "woe from wit" (a ballpoint pen, what could you write in zero gravity? There is an ordinary pencil)
