“I'm pushing the wrong way”: American pilot criticized the F-35
The F-35, the newest multifunctional fighter, has many inconveniences for the pilot when piloting. This was stated in an interview with Hush Kit by a pilot who wished to remain anonymous, writes Utro.ru.
So, the switching function on the screens resembles using a smartphone, and, according to the pilot, it creates difficulties during the flight.
“I click on the wrong part of the screen about 20% of the time during the flight due to incorrect identification or, more often, because my finger is shaking in the turbulence zone,” – said the pilot. According to him, one of the biggest drawbacks is that there is nothing to rest against while typing.
Not spared criticism and the “magic helmet” worth 400 thousand dollars. In the interview, it is said that the touchscreen in it compresses information to such an extent that it is impossible to see it.
The pilot also criticized the voice input feature.
“During the flight, I realized that you cannot rely on her. I don't know anyone who would use this opportunity, ”the pilot admitted.
The F-35 Lightning II is a family of promising fifth-generation stealth fighters that have been in development since 2001.
