Stray thoughts ref the video in #9651:-
- The pilot's head/neck take quite a vertical and axial jolt as take-off is initiated. Future spinal/nerve problems?
- I wonder how the stealth surface-finishes and coatings cope with the marine environment? Facility to repair on-site during long deployments?
- Do they use dry-power on take-off? No visible reheat unlike (for example) the glory days of the F4K.
I know, I know - I am showing my ignorance but what the heck, if you don't ask...
