Test Pilot Tuesday Episode 6 - Bill Gigliott



Before all the critics go high and to the left, remember that a whole host of naval fighters and attack aircraft have been single engined.  One of my favorites from the past the A-4 was a single engined airplane that flew into the teeth of North Vietnamese defenses and accounted itself rather well.



Note...we will take some of the tech from the F-35 and put it into the F-22!

  1. well the tech from the 35 will make it to the 22 once the 22 stops killing its pilots and they can figure out how to make it function properly. its amazing how a "test" aircraft is racking up more flying hours than an "operational" aircraft.
