F-35 Still Not Ready For The Fleet 21 Years After Pentagon Launched It ⋆ Dc Gazette: Sometimes great ideas turn out to be amazingly bad when attempted. It’s looking like the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the F-35 Lightning II, might well be one of them
The JSF, now the F-35, was thought up in 1994. A few high brass at the Pentagon thought it would be a neato-cool idea to just have one plane, although different versions of it for the different branches of the military, to replace an aging fleet of aircraft all designed to do different things. This would eliminate a whole lot of waste, they thought, and cut down on so much bidding. (And put a lot of fighter aircraft companies out of business, or force them to consolidate, but military people don’t think that way.)
