(software-limited) top speed
Came across the term in 'Navy lookout' online.
Applies to F35 aircraft. Anyone know what that means ? |
Probably something like the software speed limiter in my car? The car is capable of 282 kph, but is electronically limited to 250 kph.

Don’t some aircraft also have G limiting to avoid bending the airframe and annoying the powers that be. “Yes he was shot down but no aircraft limits were exceeded due to our DGTDDT software. (Don’t Go There, Don’t Do That)”.

Yes, chap in Germany pulled the wings off an F-15 while giving an impromptu air display, following refueling had forgotten to tell the computer he had full drop tanks, computer then didn't give him the correct 'g' limit warning tone in the headset, in his haste to get going had also forgotten to strap in so no successful ejection.

My WIFE unit is also programmed to advise me of vehicles braking ahead, optimal windscreen wiper rate, appropriate following distance and route selection. It really is a multi-faceted device, with features introduced long before so called "smart-car" technology

Mine was uninstalled and fitted to another model, which was the best outcome for all concerned. Its ASI was out of calibration, the compass had failed completely and the map display was stuck in "heading up" mode.
