F-16 is also the only in-service jet with an 'unbroken' bubble, no? Not knocking anyone but it's perhaps therefore an unfair comparison (or, if you prefer, the pinnacle/zenith of something or...

The F-16 has a rather sturdy HUD designed to cope with bird strikes, which the F-35 hasn't.

'No view out the back'?

Pilots of the previous Lightning would positively covet the view from the newbie, surely? :}

A question, arising from kbrockman's post: the F-35 is supposed to be stealthy, and yet I'm reading about an engine which runs so hot it'll melt ships. I'm also reading about a large engine which is...

A recurring observation about the F-35, here and elsewhere, is that it's a densely packed, 'fat' shape. Stealth needs aside, there's none of the coke-bottling of area ruling and nor could there be;...

ORAC's post just reinforces that, in both money terms and numbers, we're paying far too much for a stealth capability that is in any case compromised.

The main justification for F-35 as far as I...

Would Sea Gripen, in these straitened times, not fit the same buffers as Sea Typhoon - in that it's not available in the flesh yet?

(Not saying it's not a lovely option, mind...)

WhiteOvies,

Surely the choice then becomes F-18?

I'm not an unashamed F-18 advocate but I'd suggest that it (or perhaps Rafale) is a much more likely choice than a navalised Typhoon.
