i think this plus all the aerospace companies eating their own QA to increase profits results in the f35 falling missile. the clean room part alone is a critical design point but not necessarily a flaw. insects have little exoskeletons because keeping your mushy bits complicated and mushy and toughening your outside is a valid strategy for survival. and i think tactically the thing is supposed to be a steal fighter with like VTOL maneuverability or something dumb? which would necessitate more of the complicated mushy bits that don't jive with a 1940's era production messy production setting. not to defend us military choices, i wish they wouldn't spend unimaginable sums of money perfecting the magical invisible death machine. that they test above my city. i just wouldn't say that housing complex electronics inside of a well-engineered rugged exoskeleton is necessarily a flaw.

Imagine if that one won the contest, it would be doubly funny now. Also it looks better or at least funnier, hue-hue-jet.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
