I'm not an aviation enthusiast but I heard the F35 (Joint Strike Fighter) is suffering the same problems as this radio project, and that it will probably never be usable in war conditions.

It seems to me that we are reaching the limits of what can be done in big technological projects if we don't get rid of greed and internal politics.

At the top you have big corpos that want to milk the government and at the bottom you have people that will make decisions that will advance their careers whatever the consequences for the project.




It's a plane that still can't fire its gun while in flight. I'd say the F-35 is a failure. For the cost of the program, we could have just given the Marines full scale aircraft carriers.
