It doesn't help that the Raptor gets down played all the time and its actual operational limits are still unknown thirty years later. For example, the gold canopy, a layer of indium-tin oxide, which also helps with temperature and solar radiation regulation and reduces radar visibility, ok that makes sense. But then why would the F-35 not have the same thing? Surely that isn't some gonzo expense by itself. Instead it has some sort pink yellow thing going on, not actual reflective fucking gold. It's curious that this has never changed too, like you got astronaut helmet visors with the same anti-heat, anti-radiation gold tech in them for a VERY specific purpose, yet the Raptor has never been stated it could get high enough into the atmosphere to actually need heavy duty solar wave protection for its pilots, curious.
