Marine reacts to the Insane Engineering of the F35

I could imagine there was a lot of insane tech in the F35 given the price point, but this thing really is an engineering marvel

    @@vaenii5056 yeah, that kinda goes without saying. They have specialist teams who deal with different parts of the craft, for instance, they can completely remove the full engine and take it into a specifically designed "tunnel" where they can test the engine. They can remove all parts of the aircraft and put them into specifically designed areas that are just for testing that part of the aircraft. That goes all the way from the engine, to the avionics all the way down to the pilots custom built flying suits and helmets. There are teams who are dedicated to each part of the aircraft which the people who are working on will be specialists on just that part of the aircraft. Meaning that they don't need to read millions of pages like you mentioned but there will be another specialist team who know how to test all the parts of the aircraft once they have all been put back on to the mainframe of the aircraft. If they guys run into any problems then they will be able to problem solve any problems which may occur during the rebuild of the aircraft after a refit. What I can't wait for is the next generation of aircraft that they are currently working on. I doubt many will have seen these things but they look like are straight out of star wars. Can't wait until they badboys are ready to go 🙂🙂👍

    @@vaenii5056 Depends on how much detail they go into on the repairs for the components vs just instructions to swap parts and send the broken one back to the factory. When I was a mechanic with the army we used to have these 1980's era 10 ton trucks, their repair manual was a series of 8 books, the modern replacement was just 3. Because instead of having a combination hydraulic/pneumatic/electronic system to control the specialty systems there is just an electronic control module. So the book just says "plug laptop into ECM, if it says its broken put a new control module in", instead of "get these 3 test kits, insert the air gauges on fitting X1 and X2, put the flow meter on hose Y, with your volt meter on connector Z start the engine and run at 2400 RPM, check pressure of X on these 2 gauges. If everything is good move on to test 2" and so on.

    @@nilloc93 I think he was meaning what the amount of text would be like if for all they parts they were put onto paper, rather than being kept om computer files, like the one you mentioned that you just plug in. He's right in what he's saying about there being 2million pages for the older planes, there's probably 2million pages wort of text that breaks down just say the engine of the F-35A. And that the pilots are supposed to know exactly how every single part of the aircraft works, they cannot be expected to be experts and have read every single piece of text on how the whole craft works, they will still have to know the basics of each bit but obviously they also need to learn how to fly the the thing, they can't be expected to have read every single piece cause it would take a lifetime to read all of that by a single person. He is correct in what he's saying about how it would look if it all was written in books (it probably is somewhere) the amount of pages will be ridiculously long. No doubt why it was developed by 4/5 countries working together to be able to get the man hours it would take to get the F-35 built from scratch. I watched a video last week about how Lockheed Martin had turned an F-16 into a UAV. Should be interesting to see what their plans are for that!! 😂

    X-Ray vision is exactly that. The sensor suite of the F-35 feeds data into the helmet, and thus the pilot can actually turn around in his chair and look behind and below, "through" the fuselage, of his own aircraft, see an enemy fighter, lock on to and engage this enemy with thrust vector capable missiles flipping around after being released. The same system can be used engaging targets on the ground. Obviously the range of this system is not equal to that of the phased array radar, however, it is sufficient for its use.

    Expeditionary comms guy here. Fiber optic cables can transmit a ton of data at once, but is also not susceptible to electromagnetic interference like a copper cable is. It is very delicate, but it’s very dependent on the sheathing. We use TacFiber cables that have a thick, solid sheathe around them that makes them take bends about as well as a copper cable, and are probably more durable than one. I’m assuming whatever expensive stuff they’ve got on the F-35 is probably specifically meant for supersonic speeds

    Yup and they have an auto land function for carriers where a device on the carrier can control the F35 down. Also they have put in auto terrain avoidance systems into many modern military jets that can take control of the plane if the pilot goes unconscious to avoid terrain and level out. This has apparently saved 7+ pilots lives already.

Cause yeah, fiber optical are made of glass to transmit using light rather than electricity.

    64 of that puppy's siblings, the F-35A, are coming to Finland starting 2026. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden have decided to combine their air forces to a single joint fleet and that "Nordic Air Force" will have a fleet of 143 F-35's and 120 JAS Gripens (60 C/D and 60 E variants) so in total 263 fighter jets. I can already hear the desperate whining and crying of the vatniks. 😄

    It is STOVL - short take off and vertical landing. Taking off vertically demands too much thrust and reduces payload too much.

    The F-35A is the standard Air Force version, that is also exported to most countries. Greece has expressed interest for 20 + 20 F-35As, to my dismay since the new fighter squadrons of the Hellenic AF have 24 aircraft, so the interest should have been for 24 + 24 aircraft to do the order job correctly and properly equip a two squadron wing. I think the US Congress approved an initial sale of 30 F-35As to Greece. The F-35B is the US Marines version with STOVL capabilities for use in amphibious assault ships. This is the most complicated and expensive version of the F-35. It will also be exported to countries that use small aircraft carriers with ski jumps in order to replace the Harrier, like Italy. The F-35C is the US NAVY's version with heavier landing gear, arresting hook, a larger wing and increased range relative to the F-35A. A very interesting plane, but very expensive both to buy and operate. From what is publicized on the Internet the fly-away cost of an F-35 is between 90 and 110 million USD and its flight hour cost is up to 38 000 USD, compared to about 12 000 USD for an F-16. In any case, for more down to earth issues, these are two short videos from recent military exercises taking place in March 2023, between US and Greek Forces. The first video involves the US Air Assault School operating for the first time in Greece: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnuGzdiMicXgcbA.html The second video involves a US and Greek exercise in the tank firing range at Petrohori (Stone village) in Thrace in north eastern Greece during exercise Thracian Cooperation 2023: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHet2c-mg6uchdY.html

    It's all about stealth these days, especially with plane. Its main role is a bomber, but it can also dogfight if it has too. This bomber is supposed to try and get as close to its target as it can without being seen then releasing its bombs, which will then reveal itself to the enemy but now that it has just lost some weight (the bombs) it can then fully power up its engines and gtf out of there no doubt that there will be F-22's coming in behind them to help should there be any enemies who are wanting to be brave af and take on at least 1 F-35 & probably 2 F-22's. Suicide mission imo, but it's why the likes of China have been developing hypersonic missiles.

    The UK also rolled a lot of their R&D from the VAAC Harrier control systems to make vertical flight easier on pilots. It's likely why it was a British test pilot from BAE Systems who was first to fly the X-35B prototype back in the day as well.
