Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Obviously it all depends on what you classify as a "legacy fighter"F-35 will be four times more effective than legacy fighters in air-to-air combat, eight times more effective than legacy fighters in air-to-ground combat, and three times more effective than legacy fighters in reconnaissance and suppression of air defenses – while having better range and requiring less logistics support and having around the same procurement costs (if development costs are ignored) as legacy fighters

The thing I don't get about these 'stealth' planes is that (according to the BBC) they have the radar profile "of a golf ball". Whilst that is probably enough to keep them off of civvy ATC, I would have thought a profile that size would be more than enough to give them away to someone using specialised military selective radar. There can't be many golf balls that travel at 1200 MPH.Comment
