Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Stealth Fighter Cockpit Demonstrator Hands-On 

“Alexa...” “Lock on that su-27!”

All fun and games Until in the middle of a Dogfight you see a 30 seconds unskipable ad.

Siri, destroy that SU-35!! OK, deploying bomb on street south 35.

The software that combines radar returns with that display is phenomenal. I’ve stared at a few radar displays while I was in the navy and never saw anything that impressive. I love the F35, it’s an amazing aircraft.

I think I learned enough... I'm ready to give it a test flight

The new interface, radar, and avionics suite the F-35 has makes completing missions and shooting down aircraft as easy as playing a video game. Just select your target, select the appropriate weapon, release, and watch for the effect.

But can I sync it with iTunes?

say what you will about the f35, but this is awesome

Jesus.... After all this time learning jets in DCS, I can truly say - this thing must be the deadliest fighter ever made.

coming to a store near you, the new iPlane.

Holy shit these flight controls are amazing.

Agreed. I like your reply :) F22/F35's uniquely superior component is the avionics. It is naturally more complicated to manage all the extra inputs. Can't wait to see how they improve it in the next iteration.

This makes me proud of to be a finnish reservist soldier! 🇫🇮✨🇺🇸 😊👍🏻

Honestly looking at an F35 cockpit compared to older gen fighter jets, it looks like it was designed so you could teach someone to fly the plane in a couple of hours.

I wonder if you can scroll on bangbros on that panel?

Wow! I am impressed. And this is just the stuff that's declassified. I can only imagine what some of our black programs look like. Gen VI fighter? Or AI unmanned?

Wow, I've never seen this before. I'm impressed. I wish I had something like this in my car.

Oh my god I want a high fidelity flight sim of this thing. Pretty please.

Depends on the operational requirement. In a heated situation, ideally they've got things set up like they want em, and then many of the functions can be accessed with their hands on the throttle and stick (cursor, mode select, etc.) Some of the smaller touch functions are too fiddly for a physically demanding combat environment, but the "portal" hot-swap functionality is clearly designed to be easy to do in a combat environment.. Nifty.

It's now 2019. I've been playing Elite: Dangerous again for a couple of months. This fighter jet feels almost as advanced as a fictional video game spaceship. More so, in some ways.

This is best demo of F-35 systems I've ever seen. I wonder how different this is from the real thing. I imagine classified stuff stays classified.

Great stuff. So glad the Royal Navy have purchased this amazing bit of kit. Can't wait to see them flying over here. I live in a place where they train and fly low level. Otherwise know as heaven.

I fly on the KC135 and this is insane seeing that type of cockpit.

What a brutal machine. Props from a DCS pilot. I wish this was a DCS aircraft, it would be a blast.

i find this really cool because this is almost exactly how the screen works in vtol vr obviously its simplified but the core functions of the display are the same its actually really cool

This craft is literally decked out in every way possible!!! Its awesome.

Simply an awesome piece of technology.

so badass. I was lucky enough to see several f35s take off and land at Luke AFB

this thing is awsome....the hardware and the software & radar of this plane is mindblow....

Each pilot can have a preset layout too. They just jump in any F-35, punch in their ID and it sets itself to their favorite layout. I remember reading that they can select different preset layouts as well. So no need to dick around with the individual panels at all.

What's also cool is they're upgrading the F-18 to have these cockpits. Sweet stuff!

Literally every military figure of leadership that pertains to the F35: "Remember opsec guys! No photos of the air craft" Lockheed Martin: (this video)

but can it run crysis?

love it! just ordered one from AliExpress for $99 mailing fee included

Great ref video for the 1:32 F-35 build

Yes but can I connect my phone with Bluetooth? I need a way to play "Danger Zone" in flight!

Awesome piece of equipment!!

Lt Col Chip Berke said the difference between the F-35 and a 4 gen fighter is like the difference between a flip phone and the latest IPhone. It's an information monster, giving the pilot a vast Situational Awareness advantage over it's adversaries. F-35 pilots have described it as giving them a "god's-eye view" of the air battle. They all said it was in another league compared to their former fighter.

Wow, it's very impressive, the F 35 were equipped with very modern tech, very complicated without being trained and learn everything about F 35 cockpit

The F-35′s X-Ray Vision Is The Future Of Naval (And All Other) Warfare

WOW. Phenomenal tech. inspires awe.

Its like complicated games, you have to try it and try it till you get it :p And that helmet is the coolest thing ive seen in my life

Thank god their on our team

Amazing aircraft

Awesome video, thanks

voice control can be used as well as just selecting objects on the screen. They were using the HOTAS method in this demonstration.

Wow, I feel like I could operate this 😮 reminds me of a video game lol

Ok, I got it all figured out. Put me in coach, I can fly this thing

And to think that just over a year ago this fantastic aircraft would be arriving for the DCS, and for a little over 30k the project was not funded and the producer did not want to try again. A pity and great loss to the community of DCS. Hopefully in the near future the project can be reassessed and come to the simulator again.

Pretty awsome. But i remember learning cnc machines after being experienced on mechanical and looking at l.c.d screens alot of soft keys are invisible because of how foreign it is. But you can learn it just seems people that design this stuff are the only ones that can trully use it to potential

Touchscreen screen displays should be implemented in every airplane cockpits, whether be fighter jet cockpit, regional passenger and cargo plane cockpits, narrow body passenger and cargo plane cockpits, wide body passenger and cargo plane cockpits, helicopter cockpits, light planes, etc.

This is 5th gen aircraft and it's mind blowing the technology it's got. The crazy thing is the US is now working on a 6th generation aircraft, I can't even imagine what the technology is gone be like on the 6th gen aircraft. People can talk crap all they want about the F-35 but other countries wouldn't be crazy by paying $100 million per aircraft if it was a useless plane. Pilots from other countries that flown it were amazed at the F-35's capabilities, there has not been a single pilot that came out and said the aircraft is useless.

Me: thinks this will be classified 5 years ago but it not. RU-vid: "The F-35 was unclassified in 2014"

That's fucking cool didn't know it had a big touchscreen like that

What impressed me the most is, it can see what the airfield looks like from 20 miles away.

Impressive how it can lock on and track AS and AA targets simultaneously

Thats incredible

So complicated it reminds me of the academy scene with the cadets from Judge Dredd. "Yours... If you can ever get it to work."

wow the cockpit in vtol vr is accurate af

Can not wait for commercial version to play online with friends

Great video

I wonder how much more kickass the HMD could be with the advances in consumer space VR and AR technologies.

True. But I was really saying the designers should/could have done a better job streamlining the GUI/processes.

Nice displays. Which adblock is used?

Insane this video is 11 years old

its has sirri also amazing the new f16

This plane is amazing US tech

Ok. It's a flying tablet. Well done, LM.

Well.. right now i'm 3 years away from bachelor degree in physics.. then comes the USAF.. and about those 3d renderings.. they're just some things that i made while my leg was broken! ;)

Thats is so cool like that USAF Jane’s

I think this is part of the pilots pre-flight/mission prep one the ground. (Cockpit HUD arrangement). Targeting does seem a little bit complicated though.

Where do I place my order?

Shame all the clowns were laughing in the background.

can i connect my air pods to this?

so you need a whole alpha strike group to deliver to pieces or ordinance? wow must be some sort of wonder bomb.

Will this be PS4 exclusive or will we get it on Xbox One ?

Its an excellent display to play Super Mario:)

. *Be aware of background noise when recording, always lower its volume to hear the primary subject.*

Is that Lockheed's training center or Lockheed's party center a lot of fun down there xD.

Massive screen, seen through helmet visor. I am curious has glare ever been an issue? Also, ever try to adjust AC on newer Volvos? Imagine trying to find weapon controls while pulling high Gs

Does F-15EX single screen works the same?

I don't think I've ever seen the words Apple and lower cost together.... lol that's a funny one.

I came here to see how similar the VTOL VR F-45 really is to the real F-35, and I'm really suprised at how similar it is.

Just after the video ends: So great. Just sign here, and then I'll introduce you to Jenny from our finance team to discuss repayment options. I assume you'll be going for the 10 year paint protection on a baby like this?

Id only worry that the screen gets damaged, then how do I work with the jet?? In WW2/Cold War planes got damaged loads but at least you could look at the dials and still use the switches. but if that big screen got fucked then how do I control different aspects of the plane? Perhaps the must important controls can be done manually, I hope so.

Is this a capacitive or resistive touch display? I wonder whether it is also possible to designate a target by touching it on the display or if that function is reserved for the cursor control on the throttle. If so, it would be unnecessarily complicated.

They should take a queue from video games and 'tab through' types of targets to avoid having to place the cursor on a specific target, that looks like it takes time.

Great thanks

2:23 57000 ceiling and 2000 foot floor on the vertical scan that close? I wonder how many bars that is and how long the scan time is to achieve that.

Is their any helmet-mounted vision acquiring system or is the only way to acquire targets via the cursor? Seems like in a dogfight situation that would take to long..

A great plane that will only get better with time. It's no wonder China and Russia are scared and trying to play catch up. Hardpoints? If your opponents radars are no longer working (the 1st things to be hit) the F35 can be loaded for bear, stealth is not a factor. Information overload? Not really, he is locking onto targets from a distance, no big rush. This plane is not built for dogdights, it's built to kill without ever being seen. Those fantastical Sukhoi in Syria everyone now wants? No one is shooting missles at them. They are not that good. China and Russia only have planes that look stealthy, they are not stealth. India wants its money back on the joint India/Russia fiasco.

Oppps..sorry..I accidentally touched 'drop the bomb' button.

experiencing this first hand and reading the comments saying this is dumb and to many movements for combat .. you can lock on and launch a missile at oncoming aircraft up to 60 miles out. that's far out of detection range for this aircraft. you can fire and forget and your target will be destroyed due to modern technology. all without your enemy even knowing a missile is heading in his direction. the way this jet is set up and designed is far more user friendly and easier to use and learn as opposed to other aircraft being used not only by the US military but other militaries around the world.

Can anyoe explaine the variouys color codes here? E.g what does green, cyan, white, magenta etc mean?

wow that's complicated, they do that while in a fight and in motion?

awesome

At 5:14 theres a number in a square to the left, above Ground Speed. Is that Airspeed? If you have 600 knot ground speed and ~300 airpseed, thats a 300 knot difference! could that be correct?

I don't understand how he gets the live image? From satellite?

So... does the pilot need 3 hands to operate it? Because the person demonstrating does all the taps on the touch screen while the person in the cockpit has to keep his hands on the HOTAS and operate the switches and also fly the plane.

What happens if your radar gives conflicting information from what you are getting from your wingman or from the ground?
