Just finished reading "F-35 - The Inside Story of the Lightning II" and I'm absolutely blown away by the intricacies of this project! From its inception to its current state, the F-35 program exemplifies collaboration, innovation and perseverance. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the development, challenges and triumphs behind one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world - the F-35 Lightning II. It delves into the origins of the program, tracing its roots back to the early concepts and requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Defense. Throughout the narrative, readers are taken on a journey through the complex process of designing, testing and manufacturing the F-35, which involved collaboration among multiple defense contractors, government agencies and international partners. The book highlights the technological innovations incorporated into the aircraft, such as stealth capabilities, advanced avionics and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Despite the challenges faced, including budgetary constraints, technical setbacks and controversies, the book emphasizes the resilience and determination of the teams involved in the project. Their tireless efforts ultimately resulted in the delivery of a game-changing aircraft to the military. Highly recommended for anyone interested in aerospace, engineering or project management, "F-35 - The Inside Story of the Lightning II" offers a comprehensive understanding of the F-35 program and serves as a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation and perseverance in the field of defense technology. Thanks Sam Johnson for the gift. #F35 #Aerospace #Innovation #ProjectManagement #Engineering

More good manufacturing news coming out of Huntsville! Raytheon, and their parent company RTX, just announced a $𝟏𝟏𝟓𝐦𝐦 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 to their Huntsville facility. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟖𝟓 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐬 (on top of their already +/- 2,000 AL based employees). Getting ahead of my skis here, but sounds like this expansion will be for the Glide Phase Interceptor, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. Governor Ivey said "Some people call it the ‘Rocket City,’ I’ll raise that and say: the brightest minds in aerospace and defense call it home." Given that Huntsville employees have figured out how to develop the above missile, I completely agree. Roll tide Huntsville.
