The F-35 Can't Dogfight

#14

Quote:So again I ask, why not just upgrade the F-16 with all the new avionics and tech if it is still superior in it's field? 

 

Also could the JSF be salvaged for just air force and navy?
 

Upgrading an older aircraft is more involved than just updating the avionics package.  Air frames have a finite lifespan and would eventually require replacement.

 

Quote:Is there more money to be made developing a new aircraft or upgrading an old one?
 

It's more about "money to be spent" rather than "money to be made".  The government approaches the aircraft manufacturers with design requirements and puts out a bid.  It's not like the aircraft manufacturers decide that they want to make gobs of money and come up with new designs on their own.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
