F-35 situational awareness (if you know aviation, you know that situational awareness can determines who's gonna be the attacker in a dogfight) in comparison to other aircrafts. accept f-22, is like a chess player vs. the chess pieces. You have the complete view of the situation, while the enemy doesn't even know what's goin' on.

Nah, yf-23 is the most beautiful aircraft. I wished it has entered production.

What is the radar range of the f-35.
N1cholas240 (August 26, 2008 at 8:50 pm)
No the pak fa will be close to the same as the f-35 not the f-22. The f-22 is more advanced than the f-35 and pak fa.
1. F-22
2. F-35
3. PAK FA.

You're the one who should school yourself, it completely outperforms the typhoon's role and capabilities.

It's the world's MOST ADVANCED multi role fighter being built by 9 countries right now, and you're british so you should know.
You're the second primary investor in this new aircraft fighter project.

do you know the NASA X35 model design and the advanced technology this fighter was based on? do you have any idea what this fighter ACCOMPLISHES way above any of the Typhoon's specs? EF 2000 is good but not the world's best fighter.
