In future, there might not be a need to build long runways for aircraft. Check out the Lockheed Martin’s F-35B landing vertically at night on an aircraft carrier.
In the video, you can clearly see the thrust needed just to get it to land properly. From far, some might think that it is another UFO roaming the earth. Here is the short video.
I know. The video is very short and not very clear as it is through a night vision device. Check out the daytime take-off and landing of the F-35B.
I guess in another few years, aircraft will not need any runways anymore. That is what I like about Technology. In 10 years time, when you read this post, you might be wondering what’s so great about a vertical landing aircraft as it has become the norm in the future 🙂 .
