Pretty sure this explains why the bang wiz-35 crashes if it gets a raindrop on the nose. If you need a clean room to manufacturer a fighter jet, it's probably better suited for... Idk, space or something that doesn't have an atmosphere?
i think this plus all the aerospace companies eating their own QA to increase profits results in the f35 falling missile. the clean room part alone is a critical design point but not necessarily a flaw. insects have little exoskeletons because keeping your mushy bits complicated and mushy and toughening your outside is a valid strategy for survival. and i think tactically the thing is supposed to be a steal fighter with like VTOL maneuverability or something dumb? which would necessitate more of the complicated mushy bits that don't jive with a 1940's era production messy production setting. not to defend us military choices, i wish they wouldn't spend unimaginable sums of money perfecting the magical invisible death machine. that they test above my city. i just wouldn't say that housing complex electronics inside of a well-engineered rugged exoskeleton is necessarily a flaw.
they should call it X-35, the everything airplane
Imagine if that one won the contest, it would be doubly funny now. Also it looks better or at least funnier, hue-hue-jet.
๐-35
brand image is my passion
covered the SR-17 in their episode on stealth jets, and they noted how the vehicle has to undergo such a profound physical change at supersonic speed that it's basically falling apart on the runway when it's parked.
This is just the reality of making a plane fly very fast. When they're not moving very fast, they start to fall apart.
Is this the try guys
Edit: nvm but idk who they are

I'm not particularly familiar with these jets, but my guess is they need a clean room for manufacturing mostly due to electronics and hydraulics. Really just about any kind of precision instrument requires a clean room to manufacture
Some of the most clownish boots I've ever met were F-35 apologists. They thought that by saying "the mission" a lot that it'd sweep away the visible and obvious money pit that these janky bazinga planes are. They picked up ad copy from the DoD and parroted it nonstop to the point of sounding interchangeable.

F-35 apologists is not a phrase I thought I'd ever hear anyone say
Good shit. I wish I was half this badass, but my par cor days are long behind me.
LOL.
The amount of fucking idiot gammons saying 'duhhghhh well done accomplished nothing stupid liberal wooowwww just a bit of paint that'll be sorted in no time'
Eat shit
Actionists
Wat?
It's the term recently utilized for folks who take direct, disruptive political action against imperialist infrastructure.
What happened to activists?
Too inactive
Ironic
