Hit you tube at this link and see US technology at it's best (or worst-LOL)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xAoVcNifdY
Here is the commentary: Read the text before watching the video!
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. Unintentional?
This is unbelievable!
F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff 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.
There's 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 "regressive testing". This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control...
If he didn't 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 equipment 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 in your life.
This Guy deserves a Medal for saving a 70 Million Dollar Aircraft!

While we are having this little break of `off topicitis` and grammar
checking I offer the quote above.
Whatever happened to `twice`? I have noticed that more and more often,
particularly but not exclusively by Americans `twice` seems to have dropped
out of use in favour of the more awkward `two times`
Odd isn`t it, that `twice` is acceptable yet we do not usually use `thrice`
Americans do not use `fortnight` for `two weeks` although it is normal in
the UK. `fortnight` in case you hadn`t made the connection is short for
`fourteen nights`
Yet we do not use `sennight` (short for seven nights`)
I do occasionally but I have a reputation as a miserable old curmudgeon to
keep up.
Cheers
Pat
