Thank you for the detailed response.They can fly supersonic, there is just a peacetime limitation on afterburner usage. Said limitation restricts the number of seconds the two variants can use afterburner, but only in specific segments of the flight envelope. There is some concern about damage to the RAM, but moreso the concern is with damage to the ESM apertures in the horizontal tails.
The problem however has been extremely limited, and at the time it was revealed publicly it had only been recorded to have occured once on each variant.
Is there any evidence to suggest the paint has anything to do with LO?
I thought you were implying that the paint on the F-35 didn't have any LO characteristics to consider, sorry about that.Okay, so that would be "no".
