F-35B/C Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)
- Thread starter jai5w4

Except in roughly reverse ratios
At least a long time ago when I last saw numbers, the USMC is/was actually going to be flying more F-35s than the Navy (combining B and C variants). Which is crazy to me.

Why is that?
The B already has the least payload of any variant, and its landing gear is not as rugged as the C.
B model doesn't have the heavy beefed up landing gear, has a different wing, and the engine/fan design gets in the way.

Does anyone fly the F-35B right now on this site?
Also the least gas... And not by a little.
F-35 lost due to spatial disorientation...
Does F-35 have a traditional EFIS type ADI/AI? How do you guys know where the horizon is relative to FP? Is it all incorporated in the wonder helmet / visor?

Japan says F-35A pilot was likely disoriented before fatal crash in April
The pilot of a Japan Air Self-Defense Force plane that plunged into the Pacific Ocean probably experienced spatial disorientation, the JASDF said.

The helmet is the HUD. You can put up an EFI on the glass with a single HOTAS button press if need be. There’s also a standby beneath the main displays that’s always on.
