  • Sweet Slayer remix

  • @ricecake42 I'd rather have two 10B$ Jets fire from 3-5 miles away then having just one 20B$ jet that can do it during a tight loop....

  • @thechoosendude Actually, the lessons learned from the X-31 and X-35 were carried over into other vectored thrust aircraft, such as the F-22, F-35, and JSF. Although modern weapons systems are rather strong, there's no reason not to invest in weapons and maneuverability. Why have one or the other for $10B, when you can have both for $20B?

  • my fav. song!

  • ultimate rc device at the start

  • This video fucked me up.

  • The X-31 was a joint venture between America and Germany to explore thrust vectoring, but it was abandoned... pretty much we (America) decided that advancement in weapon systems will almost always outweigh maneuverability.

  • Godddddd! Change the music please! it makes the video HARD to watch.

  • Not sure what you mean by "controlled impact demo" on the first two clips. This was a test designed to tear the fuel tanks open to study how a plane burns on impact. The test was done in the late seventies or early eighties. The used what they learned to better design fuel tanks and fuel to make airliners safer.

  • Billions.
