The original variant (A) of the F-14 was a turd because they built the aircraft before the actual intended powerplant was available. The engine it got was underpowered and temperamental and resulted in flameouts.

There's been several other aircraft that have been designed and built and then had the program scrapped because the engine to match the airframe never actually made it through development and/or certification.

If you start designing an airplane before you have a proper powerplant selected, it's probably gonna fail.

Never build an airplane without a powerplant.

Sincerely, F-14

Yeah we do actually do this with peppers from friends that have more room for growing stuff when it's not -3837473837 degrees outside.

School wasn't simpler. It rewarded you for efficiency and intelligence by returning time back to you for completing the work quickly and correctly.

There is no reward in the corporate world. You slave away endlessly and the reward is you either get to slave away more or sit there for your 40 hours + commute.

Congratulations, you're now a slave. Get back to work.

It only ever gets worse. Just wait until you get to do that new process you just learned for the 2,000th time while emails flood your inbox, bringing the unread count to 672.
