minus-squareBluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days ago Not correctly designed to do what it needed to do. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/natosource/lockheed-claims-tailhook-fix-will-allow-f35s-to-land-on-aircraft-carriers/ Took forever to deliver Bad design all around. Massively over budget https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106047 Just for the F-35c, a single engine design for a carrier is dumb as fuck! I spent a lot of time dealing with these planes.
