We can only hope that the F-35 meets or exceeds it’s expectations.

Who cares? The thing is so yesterday. Hype then nothing for years.

Nice. By that time this POS vaporware will be obsolete.
When they increased the wing span they encountered wing twist issues.
Wing twist issues have been pre researched for years and have been solved on airplanes like the F18 ... why are we still talking wing twist issues on the F35?
My hunch is hiring these new engineers who reinvent the wheel and are not very knowlegeable about what works and does not work from past engineering lessons.

We almost had the A-12 Avenger II.
Almost.
A series of program manager changes, each insisting on seating arrangement changes, lead to a portion of the cost overruns.
Other reasons abounded, but the continual changes from inline seating to side by side didn’t help at all.
And then it got cancelled completely.

Take a slow moonpig, add weight by navalizing it and widen the wingspan. Yeah... this is gonna be a real rocket ride. /s

“Freshnel Lens”? It’s “Fresnel”. Does any publication proof-read their stuff anymore?

Pilots follow a yellow light on the flight deck of the ship called the Freshnel Lens to help the trajectory of the approach, called their glide slope, Navy experts have explained to Warrior.So "Navy experts" explained this to "Warrior Maven"?
What? Who is "Warrior Maven"? Has he/she never seen Top Gun?
This isn't an article, it's a press release. And I thought the National Interest was an opinion journal.
The neocons have fallen a long way.
