Weaponology - VTOL - Part 2

[packleader1215]

I fly that thang around ALL THE TIME on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

[ItsFish2k]

Screw MW2. We've got real stuff :)

[JLXZ83]

Are you kidding? We barely managed to get an aircraft to the skies and STAY in the skies with this Vertical Take-off and Landing technology. It will be years to come before we even use this kind of technology to the skies.

[Lileminem98]

@cambodiot whatever your name is . Are we fighting Russia are we fighting china no because they are our allies and we attacked our enemies ok

[killkid300]

Sick

[Time4TruthDOTorg]

They should use this for passenger planes.

[jakicevic]

Americans refused harriers cuz it was hard to controll with them...

[Solidboat123]

@jakicevic USMC use AV-8B Harrier II's

[Litterboxer529]

My great-uncle worked on Harriers for the Spanish Navy a long time ago. He said that the Harriers were flipping over, and since he was an aeronautical engineer, he could fix them.

[MsCasper2010]

F-35B

[EnglishTurbines]

@MsCasper2010 The F35B cant fly off from the Hover. It cant even get in the hover unless its tanks are half empty. Harrier can ...and it id it 40 years ago.

[mr9396]

i knew an american program had to have an american plane at the end

[Deimxneyron]

And nevertheless Yak-36 was the first VTOL functioning on this planet.

[binaway]

@Deimxneyron The X-14 first flew in early 1957 and was the first aircraft to use vector thrust. It was stabilized with nozzles as per the Rolls Royce flying bedstead. The Yak-36 used the same system as the X-14 and first flew in 1963. The P1127 used an improved system in the Pegasus engine with 4 instead of only 2 vector thrust thrust nozzles and from one engine, instead of the 2 engines required in both the X-14 and Yak-36.

[Ahamster1]

another amazing story of "trial and error"

lessons learnt = amazing results

[skadooshcovers]

thats gotta be hard as fuck to learn to fly

[beedylove]

rip harriers... thank you tories

[PickThatGunNoob]

Can anyone answer my question? Harriers take off vertically using an engine right?

Why can't poeple put the engine to the helicopters?

[Waffleman35]

@PickThatGunNoob The AH-64 apache uses jet engines. Also, I think that some heli's spin their props with a turbine pointed up.

[PickThatGunNoob]

@Waffleman35 Do you know Battlefield 2142? If you don't google it and check their helicopters.Now my question is why can't helicopter use engines instead of prop ?

[Waffleman35]

@PickThatGunNoob Well if a heli used engines then they'd be planes right :)?

[pobwood]

@PickThatGunNoob - if your question is why can't you use a Harrier engine (Pegasus turbofan) in a helicopter - you need to understand how much space the engine takes within the airframe. The airacraft is basically the engine with a harrier skin wrapped round it. Helicopters use an output shaft from thier engines (either turbine or piston) to turn the rotors via a gearbox.

[nidgybaby]

@pobwood Is that the name of the engine...pegasus turbofan....any more info would be apriciated..regards nidge...

[pobwood]

@nidgybaby The engine is called a Pegasus. It is a type of turbine engine called a turbojet. Suggest you search google for a more detail desscription, all turbines work using the same basic concept, however this is an extreme example of the breed!

[deucemable]

@pobwood Not strictly true - it is most definitely a Turbofan rather than a turbojet - 50% of the thrust comes from the bypass air :)

[deucemable]

@pobwood Not 100% true - it is most definitely a turbofan rather than a turbojet - 50% of the thrust comes from the bypass! :)

[pobwood]

@PickThatGunNoob - if your question is why can't you use a Harrier engine (Pegasus turbofan) in a helicopter - you need to understand how much space the engine takes within the airframe. The airacraft is basically the engine with a harrier skin wrapped round it. Helicopters use an output shaft from thier engines (either turbine or piston) to turn the rotors via a gearbox - they do not use the thrust of the engine.

[PickThatGunNoob]

@pobwood Thanks for your time and answering my question

[kibabiba]

yak-36 was developed before Harrier. So Harrier is not the first

[SuperAncientmariner]

@kibabiba Sorry my friend, Yak-36 first flew Jan 9th 1963. The prototype Harrier, called the P1127, then Kestral, first flew in 1960

[firefoxsteve]

only a prototype of the yak36 was made and therefore does not count as per many other prototypes sorry but the harrier is the first as they went into production the same as the x-14

[Cambodiot]

They tested against a weak country like argentina and Iraq especially when Iraq was sanction by the UN for years before they got invaded. Iraqi army was already falling apart.I suggest you Brit and yanks to try this jumper craft against russia or china and see how that work out.

[relmmih6]

@Cambodiot shut it you chinky bastard

[Cambodiot]

@relmmih6 fuck you cracker a white trash like you should suck dick and die.

[relmmih6]

@Cambodiot cracker haha what a silly insult!why do you freaks always speak of dick?your obsessed with cock you dirty shitskins

[Cambodiot]

@relmmih6 first of all iam not a chink or asian of any kind and all i did is giving my opinion about what the US and british does to this small country but you went ahead and use a race card on other people. That make you a real white trash.

[relmmih6]

@Cambodiot what small country?if you mean the falklands its not a country,also argentina is way bigger than the uk and 8,000 miles closer.we were the under dogs in that war.but las we still kicked thier worthless argie asses.

[slayer66616]

@Cambodiot

Now you are assuming he's white. White's are not exclusively racist. Why are you so hateful?

[Halo2fanBf2]

why the fuk does cod players comment on videos like these ?

[pachanz]

There is a rich guy that lives not to far from me that has one of these on his front lawn!!! Like what the eff! He has a ladder and everything so you can just come sit in it. It's a beautiful craft!

[ARC21001]

I saw a harrier close up 2 days ago at an RAF airshow.. its truley jaw dropping seeing it take off lol

[AlexBoy123HBG]

Well all the modern warfare 2 pussys think it hovers like that in the air shooting down enemies its not like that in real life to all u cod fuckers

[NightFuryyy]

@AlexBoy123HBG No shit? It would get shot down in a heartbeat. Call of Duty is a game so calm down. But technicaly i could hover and shoot, which i believe it does occaisionally.

[SKADOODLE]

@NightFuryyy Why would it ever hover and shoot? I mean like in an actual theatre

[JVC7400]

@NightFuryyy It is not fitted with a movable cannon. and it burns fuel like a beast while hovering, no call of duty is shit, and you would be deaf standing under a hovering harrier

[JVC7400]

@NightFuryyy *i meant to say that call of duty is shit when it comes to reality

[thegarlands04]

@AlexBoy123HBG so true. i play mw2 but i do know what is real and not real unlike most idiots. the harrier is a lot less stable than its cg counterpart. and it has no swivling gun. but i have been up close and personal with some USMC birds and it is a wonderful aircraft. what sucks is the airshow i was at had too weak pavment for the harrier to take off and land vertically

[Afrocanuk]

The Harrier is my favorite VTOL fighter.  In my opinion, one of the most impressive fighter designs to date.

[ctforce0076]

FUCK HUMANS I HATE HUMANS

[thegarlands04]

@ctforce0076 uh why. well id o sorta understand humans can be so fucking annoying sometimes but what dose that have to do with harriers

[MrBobbie956]

who gives a fuk sho made wat

wat matters is who ha it now

USA WILL ATTACK U FOOLS LIKE U WER FKN TALIBAN BITCHZ

NOBODY CAN FUK WIT OUR ARMY OUR NAVY OUR MARINES AND OUR KILLER ASS AIR FORCE SO

GO ANND KEEP HATIN AND

KEEP WISHIN U BITCHZ WER LIVIN IN OUR COUNTRY

[40UmdrehungenMinimum]

@MrBobbie956 wtf

neo nazi ??

[MrBobbie956]

@40UmdrehungenMinimum i aint no fukin nazi fuk a nazi ill fkn shoot a nazi for fun

[klash462]

@MrBobbie956 Sorry man that is one of the dumbest comments ive ever heard. yes UK and USA have powerful militaries but what is the death toll of USA and UK in iraq and afghanistan? Its in the thousands and we still want to pull out. It don matter what technology you have at the end of the day when you "invade" a country you eventually have to step out of ya tanks and then its AK47 vs M16A4< whoever hits first wins. Thats why USA have never won a wr and even ran away from vietnam

[MrBobbie956]

@klash462 man fuk u clash i dont give a fuk wat u say u said sum stupid ass shit go suck a dick pussyass bitch wen we step out of the tankz

its untrained bitchass soliers vs the most elite killin squad

and if our soldiers cant do it well fukin call in a fuk air strike and its over

for anybody on the other side

[klash462]

@MrBobbie956 I only told the truth and ya last comment shows what a moron u are. The taliban a hid hence airstrikes being useless alot of the time since you can only blow up what you can see. An airstrike dont solve anything HENCE WAR IS STILL ON RETARD. Yes special forces and infantry of USA and UK are v good but even they get captured idiot. Like i said eve the USSR pulled out of the middle east and USA has actually never won a war but instead blow things up but still the taliban kill you

[MrBobbie956]

@klash462 i guess u dumb pussy

u the fkin moron hoe

shit well still bow ur ass up pussy

and fuk the ussr who he fuk is talkin bout them

[klash462]

@MrBobbie956 yup by your responses I can tell your the average american idiot who knows nothing.I said USSR because Russia invaded afghanistan in the 70s and even they like USA is doing now pulled out. get ya facts right first before you talk, it was the UK who even trained your very first special forces and the first ever mission delta had, ended in failure with all soldiers dead. u have technology but like in all ya wars eventually you have to step out of tanks to invade and then u get smoked

[OlderG0ds]

@klash462

And by your response I can tell you're just an ( I won't say average British here, because that is ignorant, like you) idiot, and hypocrite.

SAS never trained Delta, the man who created Delta trained with SAS. Their first mission was failure because of aircraft problems...had nothing to do with them. Sandstorm damaged 3 helicopters and another one with refueling accident.

Even if it was somehow Deltas fault, why take pride that your SAS trained them? lol makes no sense.

[Relyt345]

@MrBobbie956 bahahaha you yanks better watch what you say, maybe you can take on any one country, but i think if a war started between you and another country, like north korea, and you still were engaged in irac and afganistan, it would put your economy under easily

[Pureteenlard]

@MDSCUSTOMS actually, IIRC, two were shot down - one by a Roland SAM and one, I think, by 35mm cannon fire. They were both RAF GR.3's - no SHar's were lost in combat. That said, it's still a remarkably good performance for an aircraft that was once derided as only capable of "carrying a pack of fags the length of a tennis court".

[webby724]

Good ol' british aircraft. :3

[chocolateman8420]

Isn't it funny how only the last 100 or so years have been innovative toward an actually technological future. We've come a long way from paddle boats!

[95predator]

Germany made also 2 different VTOL jets, one even supersonic based on starfigher! and also they had nighthawk stealth tech before the US.

MBB Lapyderae/Firefly

we even made a VTOL fighting zone ransporter of dornier

[gmethry18]

Harriers kick butt!!

[neverfearchrisishere]

Harriers are still a viable ground attack aircraft - hence there use by the US marines - but they really aren't upto airtoair fighting - it was only the sidewinder missiles that kept them viable for that task in the falklands - and they won't have such a large technological advantage again.

The osprey.... well it isn't a good idea. Surely its better to take fixed wing transports for the long haul and use nimble helicoptors to ferry to the front line than risk an expensive do-it-all aircraft.

[Battleguild]

Now for the Osprey, they just need to get rid of the blades for the Harrier's Vulcen airlift system then you got a fast first response transport...

[Zebred2001]

It's also the skill of the pilots. In the Falklands, Harrier pilots were knocking down much faster Argentine Skyhawks. If fact I believe in that war not one Harrier was lost to enemy fire.

[corporacionmonstruo]

WRONG

[jakejanne]

Cool video.

[rockofella55]

if u play mw2 and u watch the harriers come in ull see there thrusters change positons pretty cool

[Young16654]

@rockofella55 MW2 gay

[transonicbuoy1]

Italy, India, Spain, the US - all Harrier users. Of course it`s a British aircraft. Just a fact. MD makes the AV8. It`s a Harrier, name says it all.

[xxkil]

can it tilt it,s wings ? can it bow ? can it stop from 600 mph to zero in mid flight? a beautiful plane no dought but i think not nothing will ever come close to the HARRIER the greatest vstol ever and it,s BRITISH

[smallone112233]

not all pilots can fly these things it takes an exsesive amount of skill

[Alex31121234]

yeh only top guns fly them, at least it is like this on Italy......

[bootlehistory]

ford

[aldamokm]

the only drawback of the Harrier is that its a subsonic fighter.

[killkidnumber2]

and the mass amount of pilot input in vtol but its still and amazing plane

[t43562]

@killkidnumber2 well, the Vaac Harrier automated it and the control laws developed for the Vaac are in the F-35B making it easy to fly so the Harrier really could have been much easier itself if money had been spent upgrading it.

[Tord55]

It climbs as fast as many supersonic jets anyway!

[Parubhi]

@Tord55

It'll beat the hornet up to 400-500kts on T/O and on cold days you gotta keep the nose parked at 30-35 degrees to maintain 300kts. It's awesome.

[G777GUN]

Harriers Rule

[DarkArmyStudios]

Harrier was so dangerous anyways and it was USMC navy and airforce didn't use them

[G777GUN]

Worked better than the V22, i heard of a harrier losing a peice of the canopy in flight and he managed to vertical land on a carrier . Its much safer than any other VTOL craft thet i know of. And they are using it against those basterd taliban.

[TheNiggaJesus]

@G777GUN

It's sort of hard to compare the V22 to the Harrier, as the Harrier is a fighter plane while the V22 is a transport.

[yahul25]

The beadstead looks like a cow floating !!! :D

[duxberry1958]

didn't the harrier see service in Vietnam with the USAF OR NAVY

[OlderG0ds]

No, and only the USMC uses the harrier.

[ohnapolean]

What? wikipedia it...Spain, USA and Britain are the only users of the harrier jump jet in the world. Britain is also the only place in the world in which harriers are made because we still have a patent on the design, every harrier the US or spainish has is an import made in the UK.

[OlderG0ds]

Obviously my comment was a reply.

He asked if the harrier saw service in Vietnam with USAF or Navy. I said no, and that only the USMC uses the harrier.

[OlderG0ds]

Oh and you're dead wrong about the "every harrier is made in Britain" thing.

Boeing (Mcdonnell Douglas) AV-8B Harrier II is made in USA, AND it is the original 2nd generation harrier. The BAE (BRITISH) Harrier II is the LICENSE built version of the American harrier.

[Tord55]

@ohnapolean claims that MD Harriers are British designs, far from the truth. The wing of the modern Harriers was designed in the US, and MD manufactured the entire aircraft for US use, while those used elsewhere were manufactured in the UK.

Wikipedia isn't always the truth, nothing but the truth - why not try Air International, a UK magazine instead?!

[12jason223]

@ohnapolean not for long beacuse we have a new and improved jet the JSF F-35 Lightning II

[Alex31121234]

no also italy uses the Harrier, wikipedia it :)

[kalikaputra]

@OlderG0ds harriers and sea harriers are used by the Spanish Airforce's 008 squadron,the thai Royal navy,the british Royal airforce and the US as well as canadian airforces,

[OlderG0ds]

@kalikaputra

also Canadian air force doesn't use harrier

[kalikaputra]

@OlderG0ds as of late 2004 the british Air force loan 6 harriers to the canadian air force at CFB Goose base a candian airforce run NATO base.Purpose? CAS and Recon. Engineers are RAF, pilots are RAF trained CAN Airforce pilots.

[hiphoptoto]

@OlderG0ds the royal navy uses it

[OOjiBoy]

@OlderG0ds The harrier is British plane, and is used by both Britain and Spain.

[OlderG0ds]

@OOjiBoy

I was talking about US forces only, marines use them

[STOPTHEEU]

@OOjiBoy Yeh many nations use them. Its the Sea harrier thats mainly used today

[STOPTHEEU]

@OlderG0ds Don't be stupid... There are loads of nations using harriers!

[OlderG0ds]

@STOPTHEEU

First, as if stupidity has anything to do with knowing what countries use Harriers.

Second, pretty obvious I was replying to another person who said US Navy uses them. I was only referring to the US military, only Marines use it.

And third, no there aren't "loads" of nations using it. There's a handful.

[STOPTHEEU]

@OlderG0ds How many nations use F22s?

[OlderG0ds]

@STOPTHEEU

I don't see the relevance in this question, but 1.

[keirfree]

@OlderG0ds woaaaaaaaaa you really do seem to Trawl Youtube, to spout your Unique sense of Inferiority ,,,,

,,,,, dude Live with it The Brits aka BAE own USA weapon manufacturing , USA make nothing other than Dunkin Donuts and Fuckups

[OlderG0ds]

@keirfree

who the hell was talking to you? ...nobody, and for good reason. All you write is bullshit. So goodbye. Only troll here is you.

[evremn]

@OlderG0ds the british invented the first harriers, but i probably dont know what you are talkin bout.

[ukrainesuperpower87]

USSR had WORLDS FIRST SUPERSONIC VTOL fighter Yak-141

[iatajik]

it doesn't matter how better and how moderen weapons and war plane thay produce but can't win from simple man with kalashancov in Afghanistan

[29Gixxer]

Thats an illogical argument as we are fighting with 1 hand tied behind our back. This is becasue our aim is not to occupy but to try and get those savages to live in peace with eachother.

If it was all out war, it would be over within a few weeks. It would be a masacre...

[NielsShoe]

The Harrier overheats?????  Then howcome its proven in combat and still in use in wars since the 1960s?? some people need to share facts on tube not opinions.

[pb1667]

As an ex Royal Engineer I have built landing pads for the Harrier, and believe me it is an awesome plane when seen close up.

[hellcatdave1]

@pb1667 Yeah, but the Yak-141 was and IS more advanced. Lockheed Martin asked Yakovlev company for an idea how to mak a effective VTOL variant for the F-35 which became the F-35B, but it used the YAK-141 design.

[alfok]

F35 just can hovering... but it can fly like the harrier...

[RoldanIncorporated]

w00t! I just learned that The US now has a VTOL fighter too, The F35, now we have tactical advantage, a VTOL transport and fighter.

[Legendary588]

well... the F-35B... STOVL... Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing...

the F-35A ... CTOL

and the futures F-35C for Carriers

[apovlatko]

Why the russian Yak -141 and its predacessors aren't mentioned in this video? I think that the yak-36(Freehand) was the first VTOL jet fighter.

Here is a vid from it:

watch?v=h1H4PUo3iQw&feature=re­lated

Want opinion on this..

Also check yak-38 and Yak-141

[apovlatko]

By the way the yak-141 was a supersonic VTOL fighter. But only few prototypes were build due to the fall of the USSR and bad economy in the following years.

[devastator06]

i watched the vid about the yak - 36

the commentary said "the soviet union revealed ITS first VTOL aircraft"

[TheDarkAngel300]

evvaiii

[bubba987a]

this plane is on gta sa

[TheNameIsCharles]

ooo wow...

[viewson800]

tHE hARRIER WAS CALLED THE kESTREL IN THE EARLY DAYS OF DEVELOPMENT.

[willj78]

caps lock?

[d3adinside1234]

the harrier over heats in 20 secs the first true vtol jet is the F-35 jsf and its super sonic

[Solidboat123]

The Harrier doesn't overheat in 20 seconds - it has 90 seconds (I think) of water which can be sprayed onto the fan of the Pegasus during vertical landings, both to cool it and to increase power. And it doesn't always need the water anyway, depending on it's weight and the ambient climate it can hover without it

[Ran1Pen2]

But I don't think even overheating has caused it to crash. It is an extremely well built plane. In additional, it is just plain fucking cool looking! I got to see one take off from about a block away once. Looked like a Star Trek episode. GLORIOUS!

[picopiku]

True, bt nevertheless the VTOL concept was inspired by the harrier and they improve on it.

[abrynnks]

oooh yea very cool , i think U S need more come up ,,, nuclear W

[polishkilla94]

the german natter at the end of WW2 had vertical takeoff much ahead of the american/british experiments in the 50's, but gets no mention.

[viewson800]

I have never heard of the natter. Where can i get info on it.?

[polishkilla94]

just look around for vids about nazi secret weapons and that kinda stuff.

[DroehnIng]

The harrier isn't a true british design. They should have mentioned the european VAK-191 project instead.

"Military Channel" truely suxx because of cheap information

[BlikjeBier]

the harrier IS a true british design, you truely suck because of cheap information

[GeneralBelesarius]

the osprey reminds me of the pelican from Halo

[burt2800]

me too.

[pubstuati]

awesome

[blackhatch46]

how about the mv22? the mv was before the cv!

[PresarioRoyale]

The Harrier is a cool plane. Not my favorite, but a cool plane none-the-less.

5 stars; My Favorites
