FULL FILM: McLaren Speedtail vs F35 Fighter Jet | Top Gear
Avid Top Gear fans may well remember the time Richard Hammond raced the RAF in a Bugatti Veyron. Well, technology has moved on a little since then, and Paddy McGuinness fancied a rematch, so join Chris Harris in the super-slippery, 250mph McLaren Speedtail and the RAF in their 1200mph F35 jet. Let's race.

Or a Tesla will do too.
The F-35 pilot was really such a skilled guy and most importantly he was so down to earth. Man I really love such people
He certainly knew what he was doing and predicted the result quite precisely.
well, if a pilot don't know what he's doing then it'll be a disaster!
Most ''elite'' guys from the military are low profile
Every time I see this, it's so amazing. I can't imagine how much of a logistical nightmare it was to set all this up, from approving it, to the cost for maintenance before and after just to do a little demo.
its a daily occurrence for the maintenance crew, drop in the bucket Ive actually done a very similar thing, Im avionics for the U-2S and the landing gear is so shit that a pilot literally has to chase the jet when it lands with a supercharged dodge and radios the flying pilot to tell them how far off the ground they are. Its called a chase car. But we're only going about 140 mph
The liability insurance alone must have cost a fortune lol
@@wkcreasman I don't understand is it a visibility issue for the pilot to see weather the landing gear is angled right?
@@anantsinha3690 He forgot to add that the U2-S only has two wheels, one in the front and one in the back, it's also meant for VERY high altitude operations, so it works less efficiently at lower
They fly them all the time for test flights, training, and actual missions no less so a demo is no big deal. And "logistical nightmare"??? You think they just have all the planes sitting around in hangers 24/7 with no plans or intentions of ever using them?

@Dzie Kuje a) It's really not that noteworthy that a fighter pilot would be able to plan three turns, and then do those three turns b) How can you not tell that the sequence is cut together from a bunch of different footage? The jet overtakes the car 3 times FFS.
@@Jamvan001 His prediction for the finish was exactly correct though as well. And the jet keeps falling behind because its turns are so big that the car has time to catch up, then it overtakes on the straights. 3 straights, three overtakes, seems right to me.

I have met an American who designed the F35B Lightning and I love the capabilities of the jet. The minute you hear the alarm going off in the beginning, I got goosebumps when I saw the jet. Plus the pilot was spot on about his calculations of the race.
It was an impressive collaborative effort. The US led the program but the vertical lift capability was provided by the UK via Rolls Royce and dozens of companies in Australia were involved with designing the wing spar and landing gear. Not to mention the input from lots of other nations.

pharaon gaming True, but their turning radius isn’t anything compared to the 35. So, they probably would have performed considerably worse.

Scale wise, I’d say the pilot was pretty dead on about the race results.
Those guys are as good as race engineers. The test pilots especially - they're seriously trained, both flying and engineering. If they are asked to climb to 20056 ft, they will place the jet exactly at 20056 feet, at the target speed. Those airshows you see are performed by the very best pilots. They are as skilled with their planes as F1 drivers keeping the car inches off the walls are with their cars
I’m sure that was probably filmed after the race too or at least after they tried this several times and tried to figure out which route would make the race the closest. It’s tv, everything is planned out, that’s why the pilot said the 3rd turn was too tight even though it was just as tight as the 1st turn.
James Edward It might of been filmed after but I doubt they ran it a few times, that would be expensive, especially for the jet. They have mathematicians who can calculate with the techinicians/engineers of Mclaren and the jet to find out how they can make it close
@@James_Edward59 the acute bend becomes tight once the jet has ramped up sufficient speed

Jim Bob would you like someone playing with you more expensive toy that you have less of and are extremely expensive to repair and operate? No, if something happened to the typhoon they can fix that, if something happens to the lightning it’ll be three times the price. Basic analytics dumbass
Jim Bob Not to sound pretentious, but there's actually a legitimate reason. The F-35 is coated in radar absorbant material (RAM). This material is EXTREMELY expensive, and any scuffs or blemishes in it will affect the stealth capabilities of the jet. If someone were to stand on the wing of an F-35 and damage any portion of the RAM, they'd have to take the jet into the maintenance area, strip off all the surrounding material, and re-apply a new coating. So no, it's not for show. The Lightning II is so expensive and complex that they cannot risk the liability of damaging that material.

Fighter pilots are required to perform complicated decisions and computations every time they fly, so that's just a child's play for him if we're considering what he really is capable of
Bruh I hope I can fly a fighter jet someday
we pilots do that ;)
Imagine if the pilot is doing a strike/bombing mission. The pilot needs to quick and precisely calculate at what speed and at what height and at what time he needs to drop the bomb... All of that is to make sure it strikes exactly at target dude's home and not his neighbors here and there.
