no, even though it has a stick like a fighter jet instead of a steering wheel type thing like other bombers and airliners do. The B-1 was built for performance and maneuverability, something you can't live without while going low and fast.

>>726173569
ICBM's launch out of fixed well-known positions that can be targeted or sabotaged. They can be intercepted by missile defense systems. They also take the longest time to deliver, your enemy has plenty of time to retaliate. Strategic bombers move around and fly missions all the time, they're a first-strike weapon.

Hate to break it to you guys, but the A-10 is an overrated, normie-tier piece of military hardware. It had the highest attrition rate of any aircraft in modern US warfare, even when compared to other Aircraft performing CAS. In modern conventional warfare it would be torn apart by AAA and AA, and in COIN operations you're better off using a cheaper, easier to maintain, and more effective aircraft such as the A-29(which has an exceptional service history when compared to the A-10.

I completely agree with you. The A-10 is perfect for an environment where it has air and ground superiority. Like Iraq and Syria today. No way it would live in a European battlefield today. The gun can't probably even penetrate modern day tanks. Hell, even back in 1989, the life expectancy of the ENTIRE air fleet of A-10s in Europe was about 48-72 hours if WW3 kicked off.

cuz the original idea was to have the F-35 be a F-16 replacement: A jack of all trades fighter, but stealth. F-22 was air superiority only, and minimal strike capability.

problem with it is it wasn't meant to carry weapons internally, so to fix that they add a weapon pod shown here . but that's not a huge payload

Money. The F-22 was expensive as hell, the F-35 was supposed to be a cheap, mass produced, universal aircraft that would serve all branches of the military.

>>726175995
Egg fucking zackly. The F-22 and F-15 are the best machines to make it into production in my opinion.We obviously can't keep F-15s much longer but F-22s are as perfect as it gets. They should just finish the original order and upgrade the F-18s.

>>726174859
The Conservative Government in Canada wanted to cut costs and create a more homogeneous NORAD force. It was to be used as a missile and fast craft interceptor. Instead the Canadian government picked up Starfighters and Voodoo's and purchased Boeing Bomarc Anit-missile Missiles ( I know theres a better word, just cant think of it at the moment).

The Arrow as an aircraft was a technical achievement for its era and would have yet today been useful through modernization as a recce aircraft to patrol Canadian boarders. It tested well at supersonic speeds, the delta wing design was at the head of that field. Mach 2 in 1958 is astonishing. It had the same engines as the U2 spy plane.

Tl;dr money, political backing, and its new unproven nature killed it off

It's funny how it ended up being more expensive. It's $85 million without the engine. Once you add that in with the upgrades they still have to do it costs the same as the F-22 and isn't nearly as stealthy.

No the F-22s were 200 million including development. The F-35s are 135 million before development factors. It's seven times more expensive than originally planned. That wasn't nearly a problem with the F-22s and they had less than half the issues by the time orders were filled.

Well shit, something developed in 1990s is going to be cheaper than something in 2017, due to inflation alone. Other than that, a jack-of-all trades fighter is going to be more expensive than a general air superiority fighter to develop. As well as more tech going into a single F-35 than 4 F-22s. Some are calling the F-35 a "Mini-AWACS" because it has everything, from IRST to a built in jammer.

I don't really see a problem with what they're doing with the F-35 as much as what they did to get there. For some reason the US Govt just decided to let Lockheed do the entire process alone. Basically they could make a million promises and keep sucking in the cash when something went wrong. Basically they need to tell us why the product they have is better and sell it to us as advertised day one. Every other fight program would've been cancelled by now because we used to have standards.

Aaaand I came.

Among many other problems with the F-35 at current, the software is buggy as fuck, and a great deal of information is processed by a location on the ground and relayed to the aircraft, if it loses communication with home base, it goes partially blind.

yeah, but also every flight program wasn't as publicized as this. Just take a look at the F-15 and F-16 development cycles, those were disasters too.

It was a gunship. They were about to order it, then the cold war ended and they halted development. Damn shame.
>>726178128
I am by no means an expert either, but from what I have heard on general military forums and by navy pilots who have flown the sim, they think its getting a lot of bad press and that once all the kinks are sorted out, it will be a great plane. As backwards as the US government may seem, they would not keep funding money into something that shows absolutely no promise.

BTW, who is making the continuation thread after this one 404s?

>>726178514
Boeing never had a real chance. The competition was between Boeing and their partners, and Lockheed and their partners, during a period when Bush was in office. Bush happens to be from Texas, aaaand so is Lockheed. There's also Dick to take into account... Some years back Boeing managed to royally piss dick Cheney off, I think it involved the A-12 project but I can't fully recall.

>>726177664
the thing underneath is an internal weapons bay for stealth I believe.
or are u talking about those bumps on the "winglets"?

In theory, but in practice things are different. When the A10 was designed, battlefield tactics were different than what they are today. Command and Control have always been primary targets but with cyber warfare techniques they've become even more vulnerable. Then the A10 owns the battlefield again. Or I'm just a fucking romantic.
