What can go wrong is a question for the ages, but when paired with the complexities of an F-35 aircraft, the challenges are daunting, to say the least. One Stop Systems, a company known for building advanced, high-performance platforms recently won a contract to provide the US Airforce an advanced system to simulate Electronic Warfare threats on the F-35 aircraft. The idea is to bombard the plane with an array of RF mix signals to challenge the safeguards employed and determine the worldwide EW threats the aircraft may encounter.

In 1999 the Porsche car company was faced with getting more horsepower out of their air-cooled, 3-liter engine. Acknowledging that heat was their issue, Porsche moved from an air-cooled solution to a water-cooled solution, in concert with a dry oil sump injection system.
