The low rate rate of accidents is why it takes so long and so much $$ to develop anything in our time.  :old:

The Swordfish is also a stealth plane built in advanced non reflecting material for reduced RCS.

 :rofl ...Swordfish...

Might as well look at these then... all wood design - probably low radar signature. Throw some detuned for fuel economy P&W100 turbo-props onto this wooden beauty, you got a bomber with a range up to 4000km - and speeds up to 400-500 knots. Excellent fighter and bomber.  AN/APG-82 radar unit in the nose, new avionics. It'll be a beast! :x

Dont forget the bomb bay. I am sure some Amraams and aim9x can fit in there before they are operational on the F35.

Speaking of anti surface ship warfare and the F35, the F35 will have a new long range anti ship missile soon.  The LRASM is a new stealth anti ship missile, no real data out there so far as how the F35 can carry it, internal or on pylons.  It is a stealth design, so even if it is hung on a pylon externally, it likely won't increase the radar signature too much, at least not as much as a regular weapon.  This new missile is a big increase in capability over the Harpoon.

If the F-35 is not made out of wood, then it won't float and if it doesn't float it's a witch!

Sure. We've learned by now you can't have a sensible discussion about this plane. Too many fanboys and p!55-takers  :rofl
