If the aircraft is software limited too 6.5G's, then why is that not reported in any of the JPO statements? Also, how would increase the G limit improve energy management? There is no requirement in this dogfight to go up to 9 G's, because the pilot cannot even operate at 6.5. Increasing the G limit would have changed nothing.As for hardware changes, what can be done to fix poor Energy Management? Remember, that is the heart of the test pilots complaint.
