An F-35 pilot says the Joint Strike Fighter's cockpit is a technological wonder, using helmet-mounted displays, voice recognition tech, and touchscreens.
Unfortunately, while all of those features sound great in theory, in practice, they come up short.
At least one of the features is so useless, the pilot doesn’t know anyone who actually uses it.
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is probably the most advanced fighter jet flying today. The F-35, a.k.a. the "Panther," is the first jet to use a number of new technologies designed to make it the most lethal and survivable warplane around. The problem? Some of those bells and whistles have landed with a resounding thud.
