Is the F-35 Lighting II the F-111 Aardvark for the 21st century?

Yes it is. The F-111 Aardvark (TFX) was a very good attack bomber with the capability for electronic countermeasures. It was barely a fighter plane (even though it could carry the Aim 9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile), and it was one the worst aircraft ever to take off and land from an aircraft carrier.
The F-35 Lighting II is trying to do too much with one plane & one pilot, and this can only result in disaster for US Armed Forces in the future. There is no way any aircraft can do all the tasks that the F-35 is trying to do with only one plane (subdivided into 3 types for the Air Force, Marines and Navy).

Why did the government continue to fund building the F-111 fighter bomber even though it was declared obsolete?
f111 fighter bomber
Whats the speed limid of a f111?
It is a really fast fighter plane and can go to speeds up to 3 times the speed of sound! It will travel around 1000 meters per second at it's top speed.
Where can you find the relay plate fuses on a 1999 jetta gls- need to replace f111 and f144 but cannot find it on my car?
It is not the fuse box inside the car on the side of the dash that houses 1-44. It also is not the one on top of the battery. There is a 3rd one. One diagram I found said it was where my existing air box is! WHERE IS IT???
How long can a jet maintain top speed?
It all depends on the jet. The F111 for example, a classic military bomber, could fly for a few minutes over mach with AB, but eventually it had to slow down b/c the airframe overheated due to friction. Private jets have a top speed based on airframe stresses, and they can fly all day at or below this speed in calm air. Their engines have a take off only setting, which wouldn't damage the turbine to use for long times, but its life would be dramatically depressed.
Level f answer for kumon math?
depends what sheet you want the answer for.
How does friction relate to skydiving?
The more friction you have the more grip your parachute has in the air. This is most apparent in the type of fabric used in the construction of parachutes. There are 2 basic types - F111 (which is porous) and Zero Porosity (which is a lacquered material). Zero Porosity or ZP type parachutes tend to fly faster through the air.In swooping competition parachutes, the thinner the suspension lines, the faster you can fly also. This has is directly related to friction, drag and overall weight.Parachuting discusses an open parachute. Skydiving is the element where you are free falling with a packed parachute on your back. Most skydivers wear a full-body jumpsuit. The rougher the material, the slower you fall. Often in the case of larger heavier skydivers, their suits are made of cordura to slow them down. Ripstop nylon is used for lighter weight skydivers.
