Burt Rutan
I watched a very interesting interview with aircraft designer, Burt
Rutan on CBC-TV a few days ago. He claimed that the large aircraft manufacturers aren't being very innovative today. As a test pilot at Edwards he stated that some of the aircraft he tested in the past out perform today's modern fighters. The F-104 was one of the examples. He didn't have anything good to say about the JSF or the F-22 for that matter. He stated that modern manufactures aren't the innovative risk takers of the past thus holding back aircraft design technology. Any comments on this?
