So, finally, just ...
15 years after the MOCK-UP,
13 years after the first flight of the X35,
7 years after the first flight of the F35A,
and now with some 50+ of them flying around,
"somebody" at the
DOT&E finally discovered the "rearward" visibility might not be up to F-16 standards?
Some design flaws are really hidden well below the surface, and takes years of intense research to reveal.
I am deeply impressed by this stellar analytical performance of the DOT&E.
Luckily they found out in time.
Uhm, and just in case, you guys at LM run out of ideas to solve this dilemma, I have one of this cute little rearward looking cameras on my car, you might take a look...
