| Senior Member | I just mean that the F-35 has always been presented as the cheap solution for those who couldn't afford the F-22. Completely like the F-16 was for the F-15. Kris

The F-16 did offer a cheaper alternative than the F-15 but in reality had a whole different mission as it still does today. Shut up!

| "Shooter" ![]() | I would like to see your source for that statement. If you are going to make a claim like that, you better be prepared to back that up with some hard facts. |

| No where in there does it say it can not fly in rain or dust. It says that there it is vulnerable to rain, but it does not describe what the problem is. Therefore unless you are working on the aircraft you can not speculate that it can not fly in the rain. Again no where in the article does it say that the aircraft can not fly in rain. Vulnerabilities can mean anything.

| The F-22's LO properties are compromised by certain atmospheric conditions, like rain, but it comes nowhere near to stopping it form flying, thats just bollocks. The most advanced aircraft yet produced is probably a tie between the F-22 and the Boeing 787 (if they ever get THAT to fly) You should not rely on newspapers for technical insight.

| The rain disrupts the skin of the plane. Try this place... IGN Boards - Can an F-22 fly in the rain? |
