• Accidental Loop During Takeoff -- US Navy pilot Read This and then click. This is how a supremely well-trained US Navy pilot (ice running in his veins instead of blood) fully regains control of his $70 million fighter jet after a problematic vertical take-off attempt. Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem. I would say there's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he probably 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 "regression testing". Good demo of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And stability control. If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, probably would have been bad news -- maybe taking some of the carrier with him! Flying through your own exhaust can lead to equipment malfunctions too! The F-35 is single engine and when unpowered has zero airspeed with the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will probably eversee in your life.
