Lockheed Martin F-35B Crashes In Texas - AVweb

I’m glad the pilot was ok and no one was hurt.
But foremost I’m glad that it was not a government owned plane yet and that the American taxpayer doesn’t have to foot the bill. These things are not cheap.

Speaking of computer controlled… the F-35B has an automatic ejection seat mode. Under very specific conditions the computer it will eject the pilot on its own. Something about a lift-fan failure would invert the aircraft faster than the pilot could react. But don’t quote me.

The point being is that there’s a computer mixed in with the human OODA loop. Very much looking forward to an explanation for this accident. But since it involves a military aircraft, how much will be made public?
