Try to make one aircraft do too many things and then keep upping the ante as technology improves and you get a never-ending series of “upgrades”. Had same trouble with NSA systems many years ago - they kept wanting more and more out of a single station and kept touting “cutting edge technology”. As head of training development I finally told them that they either had to draw a line and put a system out or wait 10 years and try again because the current systems were outdated and getting more outdated by the day as “cutting edge technology” moved on w/o them....got many dirty looks but 4 months later we were training on a system while they looked into developments for future systems.
Trebb, I am sure that all you say is true, but none of your experience is from F-35 project. Of course it had the
things all projects have, but if you look at it honestly then it is a tremendous success as far as these projects go.
Despite the conspiracy pushers it is actually true that every airforce wishes to have it.f35 has problems, but so does everything else.
Oh, and to add ... This boy Dan is lying. He takes a report of F-35 flying with alpha version just to test it, where the software to prevent dangerous maneuvering is too aggressive and presents it as fundamental defect of design even though it was fixed more than a year ago and he still published the long debunked lie 2 days ago. Saying he is not honest is an understatement.
