Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14?

steele- The F-35 is basically the same plane as the F-22. It has been
modified to be a carrier aircraft. BRBR

Not quite....

Then the F-17 was basically the same as the F/A-18..which it ain't either.

They are planning to bring the FB-22 (bomber
version that carries 30 2000 lbs bombs) online in the future.


And to think that the B2 only carries 16 2000 lb bombs.


Well then go one step further. B2N. Take one B2. put joints in the wings
where they fold up like a F4U corsair. Put an arrestor hook on it.
Doolittle would like it. Anyone want to photoshop a prototype up?

What about the S-3 Viking folks? BRBR

Keep them where they belong, as tanker pilots.

Should we be thinking of using the FB-22 Raptor as a replacement
for the F/A-18 (and the F-14)?

Lots of luck making a carrier landing in an F-22


I know that the current F-22 was
not designed to be heavy enough for naval use, but it could be
re-engineered. They are planning to bring the FB-22 (bomber
version that carries 30 2000 lbs bombs) online in the future.
Why not upgrade it then?


3 x 2000 lbs perhaps certainly not 30

well it could do it ...but only once :-)

That makes sense. Have not had a chance to play with the
language, used to do some PL1. Just had the impression that ADA
was a bit bloated as a language. BRBR

You say this as your hard drive munches away, having been highjacked by
some viagra ad-spewing spambot that is rapidly approaching it's one
trillionth bit sent out to email inboxes everywhere. : )
