I’m really excited by that.It’s going to be a great plane.
And I love the idea of a CTOL, STOL, and carrier versions.

Lots of control movement; makes the Harrier look a far superior concept.
Not our Catobar version.
Give it a chance, It’s early days for it! P1127 development wasn’t exactly plain sailing!

Airbrake, isn’t that the inlet for the fwd lift engine?;)
Must admit it all looks a bit ‘wrong’, especially when you see that amount of panels opening before take-off.
Still it will probably all look routine fairly (sometime?) soon.
It shouldn’t be in Historic though, I think we’ve stretched things a bit when we’ve discussed Tornados and Jaguars!:eek:

Rear nozzle very close to deck edge at approx 1.15 !

Good quality video…thanks for posting.
Nose leg/fork looks flimsy (2.40 -2.50ish) and the deck was looking well scorched ;),great idea taking off with the ‘Airbrake’ fully open 😉
Very expensive toy a/c !!

This should really go in Modern Military Aviation, but be careful in there, it’s Flames-ville Arizona
