As far as this squabble is concerned, the F-22 isn't the first aircraft to
suffer from flutter problems during development and cheese-paring about the
fixes has lead to this latest "he said/she said/Maaaa".



Look at the changes they had to make to the F-15: a dogtooth on the
horizontal stab and clipped wingtips. Did anybody care? That's what
testing is for. Would people rather discover and FIX the problems or
discover them and bury them so people don't squak?
