The F35 can fly in a thunderstorms now. It couldn't use the existing system because the F35 uses its fuel as hydraulic fluid. This requires high pressure in the tanks. This was fixed the the same way Bowing did it on the all carbon fiber 787. Titanium wire .
The Achilles heal of the F-35 program I'd the F-35 program. Waste of time, resources, and my tax dollars.
If you managed to fly a F-35 into a thunderstorm, your a Belkan.
We need a second jet for thunderstorms
The fuselage is hollow , while the outer layer is electrically conductive and separated from the inner fuselage by struts covered by rubber and wrapped with copper , this separates it from the non conductive composite inner , which allows the electric current to flow around and off of the aircraft leaving the airframe and its electrical systems intact.
Man that old school R11 took me back.
11:46 looks like Nellis AFB with the speedway in the background
Literally named LIGHNING 2
I have an issue with your sponsor. Recommendations on their website by apparent pilots are riddled with spelling errors and there’s no mention towards it’s achieveable parameters of measurement capability. Only the constant inference that I should buy one now.
An F35 lightnings Achilles heel is in its own name
fun fact: the f35 lighting does not live up to its name.
How ironic, the F-35 Lightning can't fly during storms
You ever think about the fact its called the F-35 Lightining, yet it cant fly in it.
The lightning afraid of lightning
6:07 "Note: No Casualties"
"Unfortunately a flight attendant died"
F-35 Lightning II
The F-35: Can’t fly when it’s too cold because the batteries don’t work. Can’t fly in the desert because it’s engine struggles. Can’t fly in thunder because of the exterior. Just buy more F-15’s and -16’s; they do the job better and cheaper.
