Just to apprise everyone of the fact that there’s no recording of any audio accompanying the video.

I liked the short takeoff part...

But don’t worry, the “it’s a piece of crap” folks will be along shortly.

Thanks for posting.

Anyone know what if any modifications are necessary to protect the flight deck from a direct blast from the engines?

If memory serve me correctly the F-35 during design was supposed to be VTOL. Does anyone know if the spec was changed or am I mistaken.

I remember seeing a video of the F-35 contract winner taking off vertically and the competitor for the contract could not do it without removing the cowlings for the landing gear.
