Shanahan cleared about pseudo actions to prommote Boeing…
DoD OIG Conclusions We did not substantiate any of the allegations. We determined that Mr. Shanahan fully complied with his ethics agreements and his ethical obligations regarding Boeing and its competitors.

insufficient spare parts in the inventory, the cost per flight hour not decreasing fast enough. The logistics support system not having the functionality that the warfighters need to sustain the aircraft, and then the capability rates, the mission capability rates. To me, unacceptably low.
M. Shanahan
Everything in this program is doing fine. I know…

Genuine question. Is there an AoA limit to eject missiles from inner bays?
Becuse there are many studies to be done. e.g. improving the vapor/liquid ratio of fuel etc.
Says a lot about perceived “F-21” chances in India…
Very interesting data about NGF engine.
Demo scheduled for 2027.
Max temp 2100°C (2376 K)
vector thrust.
adaptative cycle
Hybrid.

One can be honestly biased in favor of its mount (nearly every pilots are). + Lying and presenting true things from a positive standpoint is not dishonest. Noone sayed he lied. Just that talking favourablu about F-35 is part of his job.
Smart to look for an integrated system for air dominance instead of “i want XX planes” isn’t it?
Japan’s fleet of F-35s reportedly made 7 emergency landings before crash

Usual stuff for brand new aircrafts, nothing to yell at. Everything is in the acception of “emergency”
NEw (M30)ones yes. Anyway, the antenna can perfectly be retrofitted within 2 hours. Exchange of antennas certainly happened.
Issues with look down mode were fixed since late competition i guess?
Even more important, the pilot was performing its first display. Thereore some lack of precision from time to time…
IPA5 flying with AESA for three uears? (did i miss something)?
More or less active cancellation if theta=180?
Honestly, Dutch F-16 are completely outdated I remember dutch pilots exhilarating about VMF as a 5th gen capablility…. Nevermind, we may have some more information this summer from finnish and swiss evals.
The F-35 acolytes are desperate in their way of “inventing” a new Capability/ability/thing for the F-35.
There is nothing new about it at all.
Understanding a pinch of Aerodynamics field, you will see that the F-35 gets around its curves with the thrust alone.
There is nothing “special” about the F-35, aerodynamic wise.Its Thrust and FBW.
Which happen to be what one of the Su-27M’s did in the 90’s without any TVC.
They tested new FBW algorytm on it, and it turns out the flight envelope was expanded beyond the ordinary Su-27S envelope.We all know the story, the Su-27M did not come into fruitation in the 90’s.
But decades later the Su-35BM happen.
The difference was that that they did from the very start decided to add the TVC on it.Be that as it may, i’m sure it can do funky post stall manuveres without its TVC.
It’s a kind of magic…
