sorry, the message posted previously got some mistake. here's the complete one:
the DAS installed on the f-35 will rape both su-30 and su-35. It makes maneuvability of other aircraft useless and makes thrust vector look like a joke. No wonder it didn't need thrust vector.

Imagine putting 2 of those things on the F-22.

I don't think they will fit. Looks like both the F-135 and F-136 has much bigger cross section than the F-119.
Shogmaster (August 10, 2008 at 10:28 am)
Besides, the F-22's top speed is already limited by the thermal envelope of the materials they used to give it stealth.

And it's already has greater than 1:1 thrust ratio.

I mean just switch the afterburning nozzles.
jsadasjioi (August 13, 2008 at 2:31 am)
that would give the plane less stealth and less maneuverability
undertake782 (August 13, 2008 at 5:01 am)
No I mean, put these engines on the F-22 and change the F-135 afterburning nozzle to the F-22's F-119 thrust vectoring nozzle.

Очередное Омериканское омно от Pratt&Whitney
(двигатель)наши Климовы по форсажу получше будут

royalsteven, it didn't melt because it's not in the exhaust. I work on F16's and we can stand right under the flame without a problem. It's pretty awesome.

That's pretty cool :D
