Pentagon’s big budget F-35 fighter ‘can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run’
Reminiscent of the multi-service F4 Phantom the F-35 is overweight, underpowered. slow and sluggish. It's also expensive and apparently asks too much from its single engine. (blogs.reuters.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I guess nobody in the Pentagon has heard the saying about putting all your eggs in one basket.
A lemmon is a lemmon, a dog is a dog, a powerful lobbying can make it look like a throughbred of the sky. And us taxpayers keep on lining the pockets of them military contractors with a lot of dough.
The same thing happened with the TFX 50 years ago. Multimission also aand it was canceled
Its nothing that another 10,000 lbs of thrust can't fix. It seems so many aircraft, both military and civilian, get built well beyond their engine's capability. Then engine technology improves and by the third or fourth model down the road the aircraft is finally what it always should have been.
I think Obama killed the wrong plane! They should have kept the FA-22 Raptor, and killed this turkey!
LOL, you must be republican or conservative, the F-22 was canceled by the senate not the president, with a vote of 58-40.
No need for insults :LOL: Democrat all the way, yes the Denate ultimately killed it, but it was at the behest of the Secretary of Defense Gates, who lobbied against it and Obama who said he would veto the defense bill if included funding for more F-22's.
