Yes, it looks like it for sure on a single image.

Just a very well though out photo actually, camera and lens placed in the centre catching the movement outside and the static on the inside .

 

Thanks Sheriff.

When you think of everything that is involved here, this footage is really incredible !

it is amazing that the plane can match the forward speed of the boat to allow for the "apparent" VTOL

I'm sure the forward velocity also aids in stability (marginally) due to the airflow over the wings. Possibly to allow for a more controlled landing as the window for error is so small. But that is pure speculation. :)

British Harrier - the master at vertical take off and landing! Still some very neat flying! :thumbup:

Damn that was a long finals approach! Apparently the Harrier is very trick to fly in VTOL mode, there are a lot of controls, but the F35B that is replacing it is very computer-controlled and much less pilot inputs are needed to land vertically.

Hayley, it is a male thing that woman will not understand. Don't you realize the damage that can be caused to the horses'balls if it starts to walk away and the chair gets pulled behind? :ph34r:
