F-35 Pilots Answer The Web's Most Searched Questions

Lockheed Martin is going on a publicity tour for the F-35 and I'm here for it

[heavyizthacrown-]

It’s going to be 20 years before we really know what this jet is capable of

God damn I love the military industrial complex. I hope henry kissinger does this format next

[DNModels]

Oh. Yeah. Keep switching between the boards.
That makes it even better.

This was super interesting, and I love how humorous and humble they are :)

[mosidian]

I like how they just skipped the "Supercruise" question. obviously not allowed to talk about it there

[johnpaulbacon]

Wonderful informative video. The F-16, F-35, F-22 are all very capable jets. Yes All of the F-35's and F-22 can be used in a manner like Other fighters - with weapons and fuel tanks mounted under the wings. If your worried about the planes RCS being compromised you could have some configured in a standard manner and other's setup for stealth so the planes with a standard configuration can be accompanied by and protected by the stealth configured jets.

Hi I had the chance to see F35 demonstration at Paris air Show, he took off just over my head and I almost lost hearing 😅 amazing aircraft anyway !

The secret sauce is all in the fantastic radar, sensor fusion, and networking capabilities of the platform.

I was at Eglin with LM and trained the military how to maintain the F-35. Best visual I can give you about facing a F-35 is put a blindfold on in a pitch black room. Wear a pair of headphones with music turned up full volume. Now stand in the room blind and deaf and wait because I am eventually going to punch you in the mouth you just don't know when. That's what it is like in a dog fight against a F-35 or F-22 fighter. You're going to feel the suck.

hands down aside from being a fan of the SR-71 Black Bird, this is another remarkable jet you guys have produced

[cosacoim]

Ive got some more interesting questions….
1.- Can perform at any altitude supercruise? (For A model)
2.- What can do with the Barracuda system?

[KevinEnjoyer]

Bruh this is exactly what I thought it was going to be; the pilots knew that almost everything about the jet was classified, and thus couldn't say many things they wanted to say.


For example, I bet they weren't allowed to talk about the engineering of the F-35B's VTOL abilities, or the tape that covers all the edges of the plane, or the fact that there's so much bleeding edge technology in the stealth design of the plane.

[apuuvah]

It's an electronic warfare plane, recon and targetting plane, air superiority fighter and ground attack fighter. A multi-role fighter.

[ismailnyeyusof]

This is a good promotion video for an advanced fighter that’s probably already the most successful one to date purely because so many countries have bought and deployed it. What really makes it successful is that its fighter doctrine which is based on data fusion will collect and store data from more sources than simply any other fighter. Data is the new oil and authoritarian countries dare not share their secrets widely so the F-35 can maintain, and only grow, its superiority and capabilities from here on.

An F-35 with GE XA100 Engine would be awesome as it will reveal the actual potential of this aircraft

[antifragile]

I love this A/C but sometimes it makes me feel too much sluggish, compared to my previous fighter. But APC is the greatest thing!!!

[trfmusic]

Love this! Would like to see more of this for other aircraft

[notaulgoodman]

I like to imagine them being picked for filming this video like the scene where they picked John Glenn for Mercury in the right stuff. Carrier landing then these lads go to the people in suits asking for them and then they're briefed while jets and the seas are roaring in the background. It's funny because this isn't Mercury but they're pilots and I think they find themselves in that situation a lot.

[milkman]

These guys working hard to remain within their classification status and contracts
