The criticisms section is both misleading about industry opinion wrt the F-35 and avoids actual controversies in the F-35's development. This article is mainly about the NGAD program but it also covers many of the issues US Secretary of the Airforce, Frank Kendall, had with the F-35's development process. Performance isn't even mentioned. Instead the issues highlighted revolve around failing to secure the intellectual property around the jet and the "concurrency" approach to procurement which lead to the F-35 going into production during development. This seems like a much better fit for the criticisms section. Humorless Wokescold ( talk) 03:09, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Here's a lecture at the Norwegian Developers Conference by a computer user interface designer who uses the F-15 as an example of bad design. The title, "Wouldn't it be cool..." refers to the F-15's replacing mechanical switches with a touch screen, whose buttons fail 20% of the time.

The following request was placed on my Talk page today:
Dolphin ( t) 13:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Aren't most planes weatherproof? As a layman, the inclusion of "all-weather" in the lede is puzzling, especially as there's no other mention of "weather" in the article and no link for context. I gather from a search of the Talk archives that the plane has been accused of being vulnerable to lightning (ironic or what?), and this could be in response to that accusation? AlmostReadytoFly ( talk) 09:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
This is the most expensive/costliest weapons program in world history - E.g. The most expensive US defense project ever, The world’s costliest weapons program. I think that should be a clear statement in the lede (if not first paragraph, with the amount). It is in the body of the article, but it is probably one of the most notable fact about the topic.
