Summary

On this Authentic Media Snap Shot of our F-35 series, author, aviation journalist, and host of the 10 Percent True podcast, Steve Davies interviews John ‘Press’ Wheeler on the requirements of the F-35. Press discusses the various elements that make an aircraft stealthy, not invisible, and how sensor fusion gives the pilot the information needed to ensure maximum situational awareness during a given mission.

In the full episode Press provides a tutorial on the progression of the aircraft from low-rate initial production, initial operational capability, full operational capability and finally full rate production, with all the requirements in between.
