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.
