Inside the F-35 Factory: The Most Advanced Aircraft Ever Produced 

And that my friend is one of the many reasons why this country is so great!!

@@grim7965 but boy are there many which make it a bad country..

It's people like him who renew my pride in America.

As an immigrant , I approve this message . God Bless America !

@@doverdown8718 always will be people like that no matter where you go. These days a lot of people are so obsessed with being “good” they don’t see they end up being the exact opposite.

thats actually so cool dude

FROM AUSTRALIA - WE LOVE OUR F35's - THANK'S MATE - ::: )

I work there also. Building 200

@@Detailed_Design1 Also super cool

I miss working the flight line worked out there for two years about 12 yrs ago was great.

2 or 3 days ago A British F-35 fighter jet has crashed into the sea during a routine operation in the Mediterranean, the Ministry of Defence has said. £100m British fighter jet crashes into Mediterranean

So your father was a traitor? Nice. What a story to be proud of

@@ronjeremy5826 at what point did he say that???

That’s super cool.

@@ronjeremy5826 The south vietnamese were on the U.S. side till they fell. How his he a traitor?

The 80486 microprocessor was NOT what drove the F-22....he said the processing speed was basically equivalent to the 486 at the time

@@johnpeasant7859 Oh I think I could've phrased my sentence better, I meant for the purpose of design formulation, simulation and such developmental aspects. Not using them in the jet. Thats what he said and it makes sense as it fits with the F-22 design timeline too with both set in the early 90's.

@@johnpeasant7859 True. the F22 has/had a 700 mips processor. That's quite good back then. They had plans to update to 2000 mips. (but the CPU and chip set is long out of production). On the other hand? Your wally mart budget smart phone for less then a $100? Well, even the lower 4 core snap dragon running at 1.4ghz? it has 4 of them. So, cheap $80 smartphone = 5700 mips F22: 700 So that smart phone has about 8 times the mo-jo (processing) as the F22. (the f22 actually about maybe a first gen Pentium - the next chip sets that came after the 486. But, yes, computer power today has come a very long way. The F35 uses the Power-pc chip set from IBM. It is the same architecture used by the Lawrence Livermore labs when they run computer simulations of nuclear bomb explosions'. It also the same chip sets used by IBM for their Artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Needless to say, the F35 does not lack computer power (or better said - will not!!!). They are rolling out a new CPU next year for all F35's. It will increase memory, and also increase processing by a whopping 25 times (times - not %!!!!).

@@FirestormX9 Oh I for sure missunderstood him. I thought he said that the processer in the JET is a 486.

@@draygoes yeah

Never been here, but was at the Sikorsky Blackhawk and 53k production line and it’s fascinating. Got to take some tours when I worked as an engineer there

You must not know navy pilots then

@@whatohhellnah you don’t hasard personally don’t act like you know what his relationship is

@@89turbomk3 relax dude. I’m prior Navy and there is a lot of ribbing between the services, I know firsthand

I think I'd rather fly the f18.

@@michaelottesen6143 even if you were u don’t know hasard and his brother

You are so easily mislead

@@Yor_gamma_ix_bae how so? So you agree with Williamson? Why?

@@blurglide Air battles aren’t going to be fought in turning fights anymore so I don’t know how much that’s going to matter. Like I said, the F-16 was plagued with all kinds of problems and they lost far more of them in crashes. This aircraft supposedly being a failure is in a vacuum and the obvious question of “compared to what?” never seems to get asked, especially with the level of technical complexity involved with it.

@@Yor_gamma_ix_bae Silly troll

I mean, the hornet also got some bad press in it's early days: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4xJBvKJht78.html

Thank you. Also, You’re*.

damn nice spot dude, I totally missed that

Apple computer used to do that even on the computer case molding. You open a older Mac, and you see the signatures of all the team that worked on the Mac computer engraved right into the case. Pride, and doing a good job, and even putting your signature on such work is alive and well at Lockheed.

Dude said let’s not get crazy 🤣

It really wasnt that bad just funny

I've found you...

That’s actually pretty picture perfect for a harrier. Any time you’re landing at the boat, you put it down.

Deck landings are firm on purpose F-35 TP: "Don't let the Harrier community fool you". Well, don't let him fool you ! The Harrier is early 1960s mechanical hovering technology. In the days of stabilised drones costing under 100$ at any toy shop, it'd be a shame if the F-35B didn't hover any better than Harrier technology reaching retirement age !

@@Wannes_ The Digital FLCS logic for the X-35B was pioneered on the UK's VAAC Harrier testbed. Brits have been on board before JAST when there were ASTOVL and SSF dark programs in the 1980s.

Most likely, those rebuttals are VERY highly classified.

wrt Russian engineers: yeah they’re gonna be drooling over each frame out of jealousy, but they won’t be able to do much with it.

That's like asking "How long is a piece of Rope?". We came from all over ... from Texas/Texas A&M to CalTech and Embry Riddle to MIT and everywhere STEM is taught. And keep in mind that much of the LM Aero platforms (F-16/F-22/F-35 & C-130J) are designed/manufactured "Overseas" so those Engineers went to Universities in the Host Countries as well; LM Aero "purchases" many of the Systems ... Fort Worth has total overall control and responsible for "Integration". So in answer to your question as to what should be studied "today" for the next Gens ... impossible to narrow it down but there's something for everyone on complex platforms in Aerospace. It takes many diverse skills to design and build it ... from folks with metal forming, electrician, plumbing skills to advanced STEM backgrounds ... including how to drive vehicles and run a "broom" ... it is a "Team Effort". It's sort of like getting a Law Degree ... Universities teach the "basics" but you learn much more when you join the "Team". And don't forget ... LM didn't design/build all that "Manufacturing/Test Equipment/Robotics" ... they purchase that based upon general needs. So you see, there are literally hundreds of thousands of people involved ... all over the World. But that's just my view after working at GDFW/LM Aero for nearly 4 decades ;) Check 6

@@craigsowers8456 Thank you for the reply. I always believed that the people who invent and develop such planes, are the unsung heroes. The officers (at the risk of their lives) get the credit, but the people who build the planes make achievements and write history that in the long run benefits all mankind.

👊

I'm sure they hired him from the military. That's how most people get those jobs. The manufacturers love ex military for a number of reasons.
