ojnihs Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Sweet, did you work on the design? I wanted to go to the Air Force when I was in middle school or so...really would be sweet to fly fighter jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiPete Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I was in charge of flight test for all subsystems: electrical, fuel, hydraulic, aux power, envirornental control, and langing gear. Mostly in the design reviews and flight test planning stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Americas newest fighter. Spent 2.5 years of my life on this project. Nice to see the chick finally leave the nest. How does it compare in terms of intended use with the F-22 Raptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granodemostasa Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 that's sweet.. hope to see it at an airshow soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiPete Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 It's an F-16, F-18 replacement for the USAF and USN; so it will be more focused on air-to-ground, the F-22 is an air dominance fighter more focused on air-air type work; the F-35 and F-22 are complimentary like the F-15 and F-16 have been for the last 30 years. The RAF (UK) is also buying some of the Short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variants as is the USMC. The F-22 has just been permitted to do air shows, and it has been flying since 1998 (in its test program) the F-35 probably won't appear in an airshow 'flying' for many years.
