Long story short: the 35 have a bunk cockpit by design... It's cheaper!

I don't understand this controversy. First you delay the all round digital camera system..Then you say that you hve no vis backward... Cross minded ppl are astonishing: you never expect them where you shld ! :rolleyes:

By the way, Swiss, comment ça va ? ~S

If you're ever dogfighting in one of these then something has gone seriously wrong.

As the F-35 will be the RN's only fixed wing carrier asset, then it is entirely possible that it'll be dog fighting at some point in its career, just like the last fixed winged thing to fly off an RN carrier. I suppose that goes to a lesser extent for the USN, as they'll also have the Super Bug and whatever else comes down the pike.

The US should start to develop a brand new fighter using all the technology without the flaws the F35 is suffering.
So they could sell it again to the countries that funded the F35 project :-P

Seriously, I don't see this machine successfuly fighting in the future.

I can hear it from there :mrgreen: :
"That pigeon was in my blind spot !"

Has anyone ever heard of the phrase "cash cow" ?... The investors are being milked.

Ludicrous to think that competent experienced developers could come up with something that can't fly at night, or take a storm.

humm why they dont use mirrors or cameras deploying foe on helmet hud?

its that kind of nonsense which confuses me:confused:

no wrose than the g2

No, it's the fact you don't read other ppls posts. :rolleyes:

Quite true, this.

On the other hand, if you DON'T have a contingency when you DO end up in visual range (and you will, at some point, regardless of your best efforts), you're as dead as a dodo's left foot.

Cameras and computers can pack up OR be damaged so the MK1 eyeball is still essential.
