USMC slating the Harrier
On the History Channel today there is a programme about the Harrier. The Programme is called "Engineering Disasters".
The USMC are slating it saying the AV-8A was the worst design they have come across because it kept 'rolling over'.
They also state the Harrier has the worst accident rate in their service....
Then they are moaning about the Pegasus engine being under powered.
Other words used was "Notoriously bad" design.
I don't think the Harrier should be named in 'Engineering Disasters', especially the Yanks slamming it when they couldnt achieve it in the first place (only to make it better).
