That's funny. The Lift thrust is not heated. It's not generated by the Jet Engine exhaust. During construction of an F-35B, a visible “LiftFan” is engineered into a forward part of the center fuselage just behind the pilot to enable massive downward vertical thrust. Horsepower is sent to the LiftFan from the main engine through a “spiral belevel gear system,” Rolls Royce information states. This horsepower, when combined with the LiftFan, generates the downward thrust necessary to enable the “hover” ability and vertical landing. An F-35B has what looks like an square door or opening on top of the fuselage behind the pilot and above the lift fan to maximize downward air flow. Engineers explain that the massive thrust, sufficient to propel the aircraft up to speeds beyond the sound barrier, results from a four fold process. Air ducts on either side of the nose “suck” in air to the engine, the air is then compressed before being ignited with gas -- generating what looks like a controlled explosion of fire coming out of the back. The force generated through this process, enables the speed, maneuverability and acceleration of the aircraft. Mechanical information provided by F-35B engine maker Rolls Royce states “To achieve STOVL, the lift fan component of the LiftSystem operates perpendicular to the flow of air over the aircraft." The LiftFan can operate in crosswinds up to 288mph, Rolls Royce data explains. The lift fans placement in the fuselage is why the B variant's fuel capacity is 33% less than the A, and B variants, and why its weapons payload is smaller. Normally the area where the lift fan is located is occupied by a fuel tank, and weapons bay.

@@unitedwestand5100 can clearly see the blue exhaust gases hitting the deck.

@@unitedwestand5100 that fan barely produces thrust and more the balance the front and back of the jet The jet gimbals so its obviously putting out extreme amounts of thrust to lift a huge plane off the ground

@@iracingrookie3301 ,. All jets rear exhaust articulates, anymore. Yes it helps create lift, but not nearly enough to lift an F-35B vertically by itself. Normally, on the Harrier, the rear exhaust was redirected to other areas to achieve STOVAL, but the F-35B is a Stealth fighter, and redirecting the exhaust/heat to the wings, and fuselage defeats the Stealth capabilities. Therefore, it uses a seperate large fan to achieve vertical lift. The thrust is plenty, because the B variant is the smallest of all F-35 variants. It also has a narrower wing span, and lighter airframe. Thus it is incapable of withstanding, or generating, the same G forces of the other two variants. The US Navy's F-35C is the largest, and most robust of the 3 variants, because it is designed specifically for carrier operations. Where the A, and B have a single nose wheel, the C has a dual nose wheel configuration, a stronger airframe, a bigger weapons bay, a fuel tank in both wings, and where the lift fan is in the B variant. It also has the widest wing span of the 3 versions. It is far superior to both the A and B variants. The B variant is by far the inferior of the 3 variants.

@@jaziejay1 either way I wanna see these ships.

AZ and NZ will most likely be visited by The Prince of wales. And Australia are most likely be making the British design of submarines too.

>>I hope the ‘Queen’ comes back to the Indian and Pacific Oceans soon for port visits in Australia That would never happen. They don't have enough fuel, and the cheap skate aussies won't spot for the return fare.

Britains

External missiles make it more detectable and the Russians have good enough radars to still spot it either way

@@r.p5380 OP's point was, I believe, it may have been the F35s were purposely carrying their ordinance externally to give off more noise in their radar return masking it's stealth capabilities. It's reasonable to assume potential adversaries would love to study it's clean, combat ready signature

If you look carefully you can also see small bumps placed here and there on the fuselage. These are not external sensor pods. They're added to intentionally degrade the effectiveness of the stealth by creating a radar return, to prevent potential adversaries getting an accurate idea if how effective the stealth is. In war, these bumps would be removed.

The goodies Vs the badies...🤠👹

@@r.p5380 The russians radars wont be able to detect it BVR if the ordinance is on its internal bays.

it's a dud

The Chinese don't test our airspace or our territorial waters like the Russians do.

@@saundyuk Yep, you test theirs.

@@saundyuk No, you missed the point. Which is, Chinese influence other areas of our countries through manipulating media and Universities, many of whom have been kicked out of the UK over the last years. As I say , they don't report on that! It's not just militarily a country is threatened.

This comment aged well. Proves you dont know what ur talking about.

@@saundyuk No, they infiltrate by passive means, through Universities, business and Politics especially in the UK and the West. So we don't test their Airspace either or spy on them !! Really.

Or raided by career criminals

They spent alot of money on developing a material that can withstand the heat.

Or the modern day woke milennial. Because the only thing they can fight for is their right to have a cervix installed on all men

They can see them easier then 4th gen jets actually as they have a radar reflector called a Luneburg lens to help up RCS to be seen so you don't have any air to air crashes, even for allies. They fly with these pretty much always other then war time, once off you are correct these planes are like ghosts against Russia jets like the SU35 which still use a PESA radar.

pull your head in the serbs detected the f117 100 times more stealthy than the f35 with a 60s era soviet radar.the russian know how to detect low observable fighters since the russian made stealth possible 20 years before the usa

@@frankrenda2519 The Serbs never tracked or detected the F-17 on radar. Also, there was ONLY ONE F-17 ever shot down. And that was due to the F-17 pilot flying the exact same flight path, night after night! The Serbs fired over 200 missiles at it. Read the action report. Keep in mind the F-17 was designed in the 1970s! It was old tech in the 1990s! 2nd. The Israeli airforce has been using the F-35 in combat, air to air, and bombing missions over Syria and Iran for SIX years now. And the Russians in Syria using the S400 and Iran using the S300 have both claimed that they CANNOT detect the F-35.

@@theylied1776 yes it was tracked go and listen to the serbs that shoot it down not the western bs and the s125 neva is form 1964 get you facts correct before spewing bs.the russians laugh at detecting stealth since they were the ones to desighn it.and it doesnt matter when the f117 was made. the fact is its many times more stealthy than the f35.

@@theylied1776 another point also is since the russians have the s400 in syria the israeli air force has not once even crossed the border the shoot glide bombs in from there territory to targets in syria. they to scared to be shoot down.

Russian warships pretty regularly go through the English channel, Chinese warships have been through too.

Also we were invited to the Black sea, by countries like Ukraine and Georgia.

why waste money when the US develops better aircraft in all aspects?

@@benrodir2 how do you know it’s better? It hasn’t even flown yet. And if the American jets are better then why do the Americans still use the British harrier years after the British scrapped theirs?

F35 is a joint development project. BAE systems is involved heavily in F35 project.

Collaborations allow us to spend less on development ourselves yet have more in total spend on development. That is particularly true for something complex yet niche like the STOVL F35B.

No need to visit Oz, you're already on side. We did send an Astute sub for a visit though, for obvious reasons. Sadly despite AUKUS I don't think you are going to get nuclear subs in a meaningful timeframe. Your government seems intent on repeating the mistakes of the past with another pointless 18 month 'consultation period' and talk of 'modifying' an existing design and building them all in Australia. You'd be lucky to get one before 2040+ under such a plan, long after the China issue has been resolved... one way or another.

Yes. And?

@@yfbotha No its not. I was asking what the OP's point was making the observation. I would have thought THAT was self evident.

Actually it kinda does given anti-air and anti-missile defences on warships weren't nearly as potent in 1982 as they are now? Back then we didn't have Sea-Ceptor or Sea-Viper missiles or Phalanx C-WIS turrets. Back then we still won that war anyway though, and yeah we lost a few ships but we sent over a hundred, we could afford to; and yeah to surface targets Argentina's air-force was by far the biggest threat, but every time they actually came up against some of OUR aircraft, Sea-Harriers, they got their arses kicked, and the F35's a lot more potent than any Sea-Harrier ever was

Rule BRITTANIA 🇬🇧💪🏻🇬🇧,,,,,,,,🖕🏻

I hope Argentina learnt a lesson they could beat a small task force that was a thousands of miles from home and numberd our planes hugely I bet the British harrier could still beat you now lol

Type 45`s arguably the best in the world, if it wasn't for successive government cuts, we'd have 12. But they would rather throw money at the bottomless, wasteful money pit that is the NHS

@@robinstreets1792 HOW THICK?????

Do you know the USA have had the F-22 for 18 years in service and have never used it in any major way, yet they've been involved in wars for that entire 18-year period they've had it? Do you know that the US removed every F-22 from the ME, when Russia arrived in Syria in 2015? Every F-22 from Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, and Saudi was removed.

UK now has 30 f35s, with another 10 being delivered by the summer. That's a decent amount, the UK can now fill atleast one carrier at all times

2 rafales did a crash course off a carrier in the south of france on a sunday afternoon a few years back- no contested airspace, just flying around on exercises. 1 pilot dead 2 planes lost. Perfect sunny day. Must be good radars!!

it happens just take time to see how many F35s the US has lost

It doesn't bother me. America has far more resources to design something like this, it's a very good jet.

Have you been living under a rock uk has just updated the navy money we making lots more ships and subs and uk has 138 jets on order for the carriers we useing usa jets untill ours get here the Royal Navy plan of new ships jets and subs will be 100 percent compared with in 20 years with some of the new jets and ships being here later this decade

Plenty of the F35's on order but deliveries seem to be lagging.

@@Ukfairgrounds UK has 48 jets on order.

@@Ukfairgrounds we won't get 138. 60/70 seems to be the estimated top end now. The plan however is to supplement them with drones that can provide tanker, ew, aew & missile support.

Also worth remembering those 74 are shared between RAF and RN. From what I've read by the time UK gets round to even thinking about ordering more than the 74, we'll be deep into the FCAS project (Tempest) and money will be diverted there.
