This is almost a disaster. Its quick so watch carefully. Read this text before watching the video of an F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier. This guy clearly has brass and you know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them. Intentional? Hardly! This is unbelievable! An F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff is a real check your laundry event. A supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million F-35 joint strike force fighter after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem. Theres nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100 upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a software malfunction and do a little more re- gressive testing. This is a good demon-stration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control... wow! If he didnt come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him! Add to this flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equip- ment malfunctions, as in flame out. The F-35 is single engine aircraft with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see. This guys coolness saved a $70 million aircraft! On the other hand, he might not have had time to react to anything ex- cept just ride it. I bet youll watch it at least 2 times!
