F22 Problems

[Paul F Austin]

According to this week's AvWeek, DoD test & evaluation people listed several
concerns about the F/A-22. The test fleet is getting more and more different
from the production baseline, firecontrol problems and some hardware and
software reliability problems. No mention of flutter.

The same article said that the test community was getting increasingly
concerned about 35mm cannon firing modern (AHEAD or 4P) ammunition as a
threat to low fliers, especially helos.

How can that be? :)

So, even if the problems the average person can understand are solved, the
airframe is still ****ed?

....especially since the new Federal budget allocates the money for
full-rate production.

They saved a whole lot of money by not ever having to install those
strakes of yours.

They are not my strakes, but an idea of Lockmart's, well publicised.

....by, well, just you.

Of course, you've been telling us that they were installed, not just "an
idea," for a long time, and that the F-22 was going to be cancelled, and
you're still batting a nice safe 0.000 on that line...

I don't intend to provide you with any reference ever, Irby, as you are an
ass.

Now try and grow up and stop trying to make every thread about me.

I am sorry you are a loser and it makes you feel sad that I am one of the
top engineers in the industry.

Funny - I thought you never posted references because you never seem to
*have* any references.

> Now try and grow up and stop trying to make every thread about me.

....then stop posting that same old bull**** about the F-22 every time
someoen else mentiones it.
