At the end of the last century, the US military organized a special "air confrontation" operation, in which the protagonists of the X32 and F-35 participated. In this confrontation, the new fighter X32 did not take advantage, which gave the US military a later choice.
In order to develop the fighter of the future, many well-known military enterprises have been experimenting with various design ideas, including Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The former designed the X32 fighter with a "big mouth" style air intake, while the latter built the F-35 fighter with better comprehensive performance, thus winning the US military procurement contract with a comparative advantage.
Although the X32 fighter eventually lost the battle, it still has a lot of technological innovations, which makes people full of regrets about its loss. Judging from the overall situation of this contest, the two fighters not only competed in performance and technology, but also competed in design and other aspects. In terms of design, the X32 has many impressive advantages, such as the idea of modular design, but it has not been fully implemented.
However, after these advantages have been tested, it has been proved that there are a lot of problems, which makes people feel deeply helpless!However, in the eyes of many people, if the X32 could be upgraded with a more open attitude at that time, a truly epoch-making fighter might appear.
In view of this, the U.S. Air Force launched the X32 repair program in an attempt to make up for the regrets in past decisions. In their view, only by constantly reflecting on the road traveled in the past can we have more possibilities!
Judging from the "confrontation" between the two fighters, in fact, the two military industrial enterprises did not lose, but there were deviations in the design concept and performance requirements. From today's perspective, with the rapid development of network technology and the continuous update of military equipment, can X32 play a leading role in design and other aspects?
In fact, the U.S. military chose the F-35 fighter at that time, which was the choice of the times and met the mission needs at that time. The development of the X32 fully reflects the sense of innovation and provides valuable experience for future generations. From the perspective of the future, the unique innovative ideas of the X32 inspire our wisdom, which breaks the distinction between the so-called "right" and "wrong", breaks through the limitations of the inherent framework, and opens up a new realm for the future.
So, while the X32 lost the battle against the F-35, it opened the way for a future in search of technological advancement. For us, if we fully absorb the valuable experience contained in X32 and innovate and develop with responsibility and mission, we will be able to create a more brilliant tomorrow!
