Comparative Analysis of F-111 and F-35 Programs

More about the book

The book delves into the development history of two significant U.S. combat aircraft projects, the TFX (F-111) and the JSF (F-35), initiated by the Department of Defense in the 1960s and 1990s, respectively. It examines the challenges encountered during their development and assesses their effectiveness as weapons systems, focusing on cost versus operational capability. The analysis poses a critical question regarding whether the cost savings achieved through these joint platforms justified any performance compromises, providing insights into military procurement and strategy.
