Well theese new engines could be alot more relilable than the older engines from the previous generation of fighters. Plus according to DND,Canada will only be buying 65 next gen fighter aircraft!!!! Thats really stupid, Austrailia is buying 100 even though they have a 11 million less population than Canada!!! We should be buying around 140 to 150 A varients and if Canada ever decided to get a few amphibious assault ships like the new Cambera class from Austrailia we could even buy a couple

do you know what you can rely on?, that a bird ends up in one of those engines. lets say a goose will hit the fan.

It was a major factor when we were looking onto the F18éF16 competition. The pilots did not feal safe over the northern area in a single engine aircraft. F14 was also briefly considered not sure if F15 ever came up. as big a fan as I am of american aircraft I think the Typhoon would be a better choice for canada. Unless by some fluke of life we can get F22`s.

We might be buying 100, thats to replace our F-18 and F-111. But they are not doing well in testing. At a simulated encounter between F-35 and Sukhoi, in Hawaii, they were described as being "clubbed like a baby seal". Another officer said "can't turn, can't climb and can't run". Our Airforce are not happy with their performance, and suggesting cancelling the order. theres a 15% chance of Eurofighters or super etenards. The ships hull & engines are from Spain or Portugal, we only fit them out.

Don't know why canada buy this aircraft for 2012-2015, i mean we have the second largest country and we had so many bad experience before with 1x engines (after a engine failure) many canadian pilot died because we used 1x engine, and now we buy for 2012-2015 a single engine again?

how can you be sure the problem lies within single or double engine?

one bird-one engine=dead. two engines-one bird= a chance.
