@zethee Duh, the doubt refers as to whether, considering its history, the US will really transfer technology.

Feb 23rd, 2011 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe you misunderstood what i said. I did not imply that brazil herself would not have problems taking the tech.
What i was trying to say is that the tech is so old now, and loads of nations have these jets..the US unlikly to shy away from tech transfers on such old tech.
Fido Dido:
I both disagree and agree.
The whole reason the F35 is failing is because it's so high-tech, it's just running into many problems. But i will agree that the whole project is a complete flop.
Personally i think my government should just pull out, BAE has said they can navalise the typhoon..A much better aircraft in my opinion.
Then again...if the F35 does work, and it gives all that it promises, it will be an amazing aircraft.
