  • I had a chance to tour the Lockheed Martin F-35 factory and meet with 3 of the top experts in the world. The factory is incredible, there are over 200 F-35's being built simultaneously. Give it a watch and let me know what you want to see next in the comments.

      @@johnpeasant7859 Oh I think I could've phrased my sentence better, I meant for the purpose of design formulation, simulation and such developmental aspects. Not using them in the jet. Thats what he said and it makes sense as it fits with the F-22 design timeline too with both set in the early 90's.

      True.
      the F22 has/had a 700 mips processor. That's quite good back then. They had plans to update to 2000 mips.
      (but the CPU and chip set is long out of production).
      On the other hand? Your wally mart budget smart phone for less then a $100?
      Well, even the lower 4 core snap dragon running at 1.4ghz? it has 4 of them.
      So, cheap $80 smartphone = 5700 mips
      F22: 700
      So that smart phone has about 8 times the mo-jo (processing) as the F22.
      (the f22 actually about maybe a first gen Pentium - the next chip sets that came after the 486.
      But, yes, computer power today has come a very long way.
      The F35 uses the Power-pc chip set from IBM. It is the same architecture used by the Lawrence Livermore labs when they run computer simulations of nuclear bomb explosions'. It also the same chip sets used by IBM for their Artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
      Needless to say, the F35 does not lack computer power (or better said - will not!!!). They are rolling out a new CPU next year for all F35's. It will increase memory, and also increase processing by a whopping 25 times (times - not %!!!!).

    There's a piece over at National Review by Kevin Williamson just bashing the F-35 program. He represents precisely what Hasard was saying about the fact that the F-35 program has been subject to a level of media scrutiny - especially social and digital media - that just never existed in say, the '70s for the F-16. The only thing that seems to be a constant for all military projects is cost overruns, but the F-35 has been singled out for something which is not unique to it.

    Question for Hasard: What kind of watches do you and your pilot buddies prefer and why? Breitling, Bremont, IWC, G-Shock?

    What would be very interesting to know is the educational background of these gentlemen in LM. Which Academic institutions they attended? What did they study? What if somebody aspires to design the 7th gen of fighters, what should they study in the next 5 - 10 years?

      That's like asking "How long is a piece of Rope?". We came from all over ... from Texas/Texas A&M to CalTech and Embry Riddle to MIT and everywhere STEM is taught. And keep in mind that much of the LM Aero platforms (F-16/F-22/F-35 & C-130J) are designed/manufactured "Overseas" so those Engineers went to Universities in the Host Countries as well; LM Aero "purchases" many of the Systems ... Fort Worth has total overall control and responsible for "Integration".
      So in answer to your question as to what should be studied "today" for the next Gens ... impossible to narrow it down but there's something for everyone on complex platforms in Aerospace. It takes many diverse skills to design and build it ... from folks with metal forming, electrician, plumbing skills to advanced STEM backgrounds ... including how to drive vehicles and run a "broom" ... it is a "Team Effort". It's sort of like getting a Law Degree ... Universities teach the "basics" but you learn much more when you join the "Team". And don't forget ... LM didn't design/build all that "Manufacturing/Test Equipment/Robotics" ... they purchase that based upon general needs. So you see, there are literally hundreds of thousands of people involved ... all over the World. But that's just my view after working at GDFW/LM Aero for nearly 4 decades ;) Check 6

      @@craigsowers8456 Thank you for the reply. I always believed that the people who invent and develop such planes, are the unsung heroes. The officers (at the risk of their lives) get the credit, but the people who build the planes make achievements and write history that in the long run benefits all mankind.

    Wow this was an amazing insight, how is this even allowed? Some Chinese/Russian engineers are going to be drooling over each frame and internals shots I'm sure.

      wrt Russian engineers: yeah they’re gonna be drooling over each frame out of jealousy, but they won’t be able to do much with it.
