The video looks great, hopefully it flies just as well.

If it flies as well as their tilt rotor, it will be awesome. Pretty good video.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I don't particularly like the VTOL characteristics of their tilt rotor.....it kind of awkwardly leaps into the air and then hovers ???????? It seems very unnatural to me. Maybe it's a problem with my system/set up.....I don't know.
Anyway, if the Harrier displays the same tendencies, even though it looks AWESOME Shocked

, I will be very disappointed Sad

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

If the product is as bad as their video then that's a lot of wasted coin. These promo vids should be shot on high end machines. The FPS was probably no more than 15...hard on the eyes!!!

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II
