I hate to have to point out that the Harrier was developed purely by the UK. The US were only involved later.

AV-8B and F-35B are engineering marvels

[procatprocat]

The British Harrier Jump Jet should have been mentioned in the history section.

[grimey.]

I am proud as a machinist to make parts for the lift fan system. It truly is an engineering Marvel.

[BadAssWartHog-A]

Lockheed Martin's engineers are top-shelf.

[alexzz]

this jet is so cool，i have never imaged that there is an insane thing in the world，the project is awesome hh

5:43 With all due respect the McKinley Climatic Lab is located on EGLIN, as in Egg-Lin, Air Force Base not ELGIN, as in El-Gin.

✌🏽🇺🇸🙏

I still think the Harrier with it’s true vertical take off to flight transition is still the only true “jump jet”.

The Harrier GR.1 made its first flight on 28 December 1967. It officially entered service with the RAF on 1 April 1969, and the Harrier Conversion Unit at RAF Wittering received its first aircraft on 18 April.

I was on an ACF ( Army Cadet Force UK) manoeuvre exercise on Salisbury Plain involving regular forces, territorial, and ACF.
We were camped in heavy woodland when we heard a loud jet engine sound, it was a Harrier Jump Jet, I am 60yrs of age and 16 years old when this happened it wasn't the early 80s.
It was truly magnificent. I watched it being steered carefully along a path under its own power on its own wheels through the trees into an opening, where upon its engines were maxed and up it went into the air, then the pilot gave all assembled, in complete awe i must add, a (wing wave) before powering away.
Please stop rewriting history.
The World Wide Webb is freely available for research.
I acknowledge that America has a truly phenomenal aircraft in the shape of the F35.
But please no more altering British aviation history to gild your aircraft development history.
Did you participate in improving the Harrier? Well, I can't be bothered to research that, to be honest.
But I do know America brought up our remaining Harriers and tooling and spares . Does that not speak volumes ?
If you can't beat em buy em, i.e., proper Land Rovers not the posh ones used by football stars and posh housewifes or house husbands lol for the school run, proper utilian Land Rovers which are used still used extensively, worldwide in a diverse range of demanding arduous roles.
I know that Argentinian pilots underestimated this outstanding quaint little British aircraft to their peril as Harrier pilots could slow and stop and then pursue them and fire missiles straight up their jet exhausts !
So, no more 1981 first deployment nonsense please please, and no more bending the facts.
Or put another way.
WHY LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY.
I am a passionate follower of aviation history you might rightfully assume.
Whilst you're at it, look up the founder of the Hawker aircraft company, who guote didn't like to single out a single aircraft in terms of his pride and achievement, i.e., Hawker Hurricane, but was drawn to the Harrier Jump Jet as something = A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL.
How modest - some folk could do with taking a leaf out of his book, I think !

The F-35 B obviously has a state of the art thrust vectoring system. Orville & Wilbur Wright would be amazed at how far their great success has advanced since their first flight over 100 years ago.

[GRosa]

The pilots say it’s infinitely easier to vertically land the F-35 than it was a Harrier

[singinchicken]

Good video. I know redoing audio after the fact isn't a real option, but the McKinley Climatic Laboratory is at Eglin (egg-lin) and not Elgin (el-gin).
Splitting hairs I know!
I've been there on a tour. Cool place.
Great stuff. Keep em coming

[DieHardSportsvideos]

the technology that china wanted to have but they can not have 😅🤣

[cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.]

Why do we have to show our enemies how our jets were made?
This is pure madness!!

I hate when people do this

[RPRIMICI]

I didn't know Avro developed that flying saucer type aircraft. Most Canadians have heard of the Avro Arrow but not the Avro saucer. The Arrow was cancelled abruptly by Canada's Prime Minister despite its huge potential. It was controversial back then (1959) and even today, it's a topic of debate in Canadian history classrooms in Canada.

INDIA URGENTLY NEEDS SOME OF THESE F 35 B LIGHTNING 2 TO COUNTER BOTH CHINA AND PAKISTAN

[neutralprofit]

Its so powerful it allows the jet to fly in water

The F35 lift system was designed by Lockheed Martin but was developed by Rolls Royce in Bristol UK in a $1.3 billion dollar programme.
