Jet engine response time has sure come a long way since my carrier landing training days in the T-2C. Back then you had to move the throttle in response to where you want the power level to be in about 1 to 2 seconds in the future. That made it fun trying to stay on the targeted glide slop to hit the designated wire.

Man, your videos have such practical quality! I think it'd be a blast to work for Pratt & Whitney. Did you happen to ask them why they don't just incorporate a retractable FOD screen on their engines? That would make a lot of places accessible for our aircrafts in terms of take off and landing. You should do GE next and get a look-see at their adaptive cycle engine.
@superskullmaster
@superskullmaster 5 місяців тому
I can answer this. As far as turbofan/turbojet engines in general, adding a mesh in the inlet severely reduces performance. This is not as big of an issue on helicopters where ram recovery is not even a consideration. Speaking of stealth, anything in the inlet is a radar cross section that you don’t want and any unnecessary moving parts is weight you can’t get rid of which decreases payload.

There isn't any technology on F-15EX newer than F-35. Engines, Radar, cockpits, airframe, flight control system, and subsystems are generations behind. This F135 motor is decades more advanced than F110s. F-35's APG-81 is fused with an RF antennae suite distributed all over the airframe like a spy plane, as well as 7 different IR sensors. F-35 flight control system is fiber-optic with self-contained electrohydrostatic actuators. F-15EX still has hydraulic lines and actuators, though it does have a modernized DFLCS with excellent control logic. Man Machine Interface is superior in the F-35 due to minimal switches and buttons, with the HMDS and PCD.

4:23 Just a heads-up. The F-35A isn't just used for A/A combat. It can do A/G (air to ground) roles as well. The A just basically means Air Force, lol (okay, not officially, but it is the model that the USAF uses). A = Air Force, B = Marine Corps., and C = Navy (C for Carrier is how I remember it, lol).

The sharp edges on the 135s nozzle helps with stealth the same thing is done to all the opening parts of the f35s body

Even at riat when the f35 was hovering, u could FEEL IT it was so much more vibration than the motorbike that got me to the show, I would've loved to have seen and hear it at full afterburner cuz if it was powerful hovering, imagine what it could do at full throttle, shame it was bad weather

15:28 nice little teaser for the laser weapons they're gonna add to the fighter jets, I'm assuming it will enable the jets to directly fight back against missiles and such, rendering it immune to any threat in the off chance it ever even gets detected and locked on by enemy missiles

I was visiting the test cell when someone asked what the throttle lever was for if the testing was all automated. Guy in charge said that’s the generals lever. He’s the only one who ever gets to use it when it’s running. lol lol.

You didnt mention the most iconic fighter jet in your list that Pratt and Whitney powered...F-14A Tomcat with the TF-30. The iconic Top Gun intro are those TF-30s in action

I worked on the assembly floor at this place 45 years ago. Only JT-8s and JT-9s were built there then. My Dad and oldest brother both retired from there. My wife’s Dad and oldest brother also retired from there. It wasn’t my dream job.

Well it’s certainly my dream job and I’m wondering what job title exactly is it? Or more straight forward what exactly am I going to school for to get a job at this or a similar facility?

@@nyansfen2328 I really don’t remember the job title. I was an avionics technician on P-3s before I worked there and wanted to work in it again. I moved to Alaska and had a great career in electronics and telecommunications as a technician. I also got to fly in many different types of planes and helicopters being flown to places around Alaska to do this. Flying to mountain top communications sites in a helicopter is more fun than building jets engines.
