Something happened - but it still has the smell of mostly blogger
hype...

The F22 is a an aerodynamically unstable aircraft... It is strictly a
fly by wire where the computer+gyro+inertial-nav has to sense the
airframe diverging from the flight path called for by the pilot and
inputting flight corrections.. The flaperons and rudder literally buzz
inflight with many, albeit small, corrections per second...
Assuming the 'claimed' total computer shutdown was correct the
airplanes fall out of the sky... They didn't so right on we know the
computer glitch was less than total shutdown...

Anyway, the military is not going to release enough detail for us to
determine what really happened and to what extent the computer code
has glitches, so I'm losing interest...
