I keep getting videos promoted at me of an f35b landing on the helipad of some tall hotel in the middle east.
What I don't get is you can clearly see the markings saying max weight is 7.5t. and D value (max overall length rotor tip to rotor tip) of 20m. The f35b is 15m long so that's fine. But empty it weighs over 14 tons.
I can't work out, is this a fake video. Or are they exceeding the design load of the helipad by 100%. If the later. What are the implications for this overload?
Yep. It's a fake video.
