The Air Force has announced a new study into the tactical aviation requirements of future aircraft, dubbed TacAir. In the process of doing so, Air Force chief of staff General Charles Q. Brown finally admitted what’s been obvious for years: The F-35 program has failed to achieve its goals. There is, at this point, little reason to believe it will ever succeed.
According to Brown, the USAF doesn’t just need the NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) fighter, a sixth-generation aircraft — it also needs a new, “5th-generation minus / 4.5th-generation aircraft.” Brown acknowledged some recent issues with the F-35 and suggested
one potential solution was to fly the plane less often.
Jack of All Trades, Master of None
The DoD and Lockheed-Martin have spent years painting the F-35 as a flexible, multi-role aircraft capable of outperforming a range of older planes. The rhetoric worked. The DoD retired the F-22 Raptor, F/A-18 Hornet, and several jets in the Harrier family because the F-35 was in line to replace them. The Air Force
fought to replace the beloved A-10 Warthog with the F-35 on the grounds that the latter was, somehow, a superior replacement.

The USAF also intended to replace the F-16 with the F-35. Back in 2010, Lockheed expected the F-35 to
replace the F-15C/D variants as well as the F-15E Strike Eagle. That’s six different aircraft covering all three roles (air-to-air, strike, and ground). The F-35 was explicitly intended to be a flexible, effective, and relatively affordable aircraft. Engineers designed its sophisticated logistics management systems to reduce downtime and boost reliability. Instead, it’s become a trillion-dollar boondoggle.
Mission Creep
To say the F-35 has failed to deliver on its goals would be an understatement. Its mission capable rate is
69 percent, below the 80 percent benchmark set by the military. Just 36 percent of the F-35 fleet is available for dispatch, well below the required 50 percent standard. Problems include faster-than-expected engine wear, transparency delamination of the cockpit, and unspecified issues with the F-35’s power module. Former Air Force pilots
have not been kind in their recent evaluations of the aircraft’s performance and capabilities.
The General Accountability Office (GAO) has blamed some of this on spare parts shortages, writing:
[T]he F-35 supply chain does not have enough spare parts available to keep aircraft flying enough of the time necessary to meet warfighter requirements. “Several factors contributed to these parts shortages, including F-35 parts breaking more often than expected, and DOD’s limited capability to repair parts when they break.
But parts shortages aren’t the problem. They’re a symptom. The F-35 tries to be everything, and mission creep has taken over. The aircraft is a project that reaches beyond its own grasp.
In any case, Gen. Brown indicated he has no plans to buy more F-16s. His reason is that not even the most advanced variants have the full scope of features the USAF wants. This would presumably also disqualify the “F-21” Lockheed-Martin recently announced for the Indian market. Instead, the general wants to develop a new fighter, with fresh ideas on implementing proven technologies.
The F-35: A Mystery, Inside an Enigma, Wrapped Up in a Shit Show
At this point, it’s obvious that the F-35 is a problem child. There have been so many problems with the aircraft, it’s difficult even to summarize them. Pilot blackouts, premature part failures, software development disasters, and more have all figured in various documents over the years. Firing the main gun can
crack the plane. The Air Force has already moved to buy new F-15EX aircraft. Multiple partner nations that once promised F-35 buys have shifted orders to other planes. The USAF continues to insist it will purchase 1,763 aircraft, but the odds of it doing so are
increasingly dubious. The F-15EX costs an estimated $20,000 per hour to fly. The F-35 runs $44,000. Lockheed-Martin has promised to bring that cost down to $25,000, but it’s been promising that for years.
