POSH HAVING A BIT OF ROLLS-ROYCE ENGINEERING F-35B SLOW LOW APPROACH & VERTICAL LANDING • RAF MARHAM

Описание: Ladies, gents and teddy bears, we hope you enjoyed this video. Did you know the F-35B's hover capabilities is all British engineering? The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning's integral STOVL attribute is thanks to the Rolls-Royce Lift Fan LiftSystem which is connected to Pratt and Whitney's F-135 Turbofan engine. The huge Rolls‑Royce LiftFan® which is a 50inch diameter fan which can produce 20,000lbs and features hollow blade disk technology which connects via the driveshaft. Then you have roll posts for the lateral control and a 3 Bearing Swivel Module (3BSM) which is thrust vectoring to us, oh and in 2.5 seconds can do a 95 degree turn.

The Liftsystem by Rolls Royce is the world’s only STOVL technology for supersonic jets. Since 1969 RR have delivered unrivalled STOVL expertise. The system is a descendant of the Pegasus engine. Rolls‑Royce has been the industry leader in short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) technology for 60 years.

207 Squadron is the joint RAF and Royal Navy Operational Conversion Unit for Lightning. It started as 7 Naval Air Squadron in 1916 at Petit-Synthe, France. The squadron then became part of the RAF in 1918 and in 1938, they became the Fairey Battle operational training unit at RAF Cottesmore. 207 Squadron were the first to operate the problematic Avro Manchester, to which, evolved into the RAF's most successful heavy bomber, the Avro Lancaster.

In 1968, 207 reformed at RAF Northolt as the RAF Communications Squadron, disbanding again in 1984. They then reformed again in 2002 at RAF Linton-on-Ouse as 207 (Reserve) Squadron conducting Basic Fast Jet Training for RAF and Royal Navy pilots, disbanding again in 2012. 7 years later in 2019, 207 squadron stood up as 207 Squadron at RAF Marham as the F-35 Lightning OCU.
