Has there every been a USA military aircraft built in the last 20 yrs that didn't have damning reports, tons of waste and over budget issues?


The F-35 has been in development for 27 of those last 20 years.


Probably, but we have no idea what it is. (We might find out in 20 years, though - I'd expect a pocket force of stealth UCAVs)

The US's 'black' planes have been remarkably successful, though that might be due to the fact that we never see their development and testing phase.


It's been like this for a long time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkrtxDdaWuM


There’s a few more zeroes in this one, it’s not even comparable.
