About a month ago, I blogged about how the noise levels of the F-35 might be an issue for the Norwegian Air Force.

Well, Lockheed Martin is now saying that, in violation of the laws of physics, the noise level in the “far field” areas will be less than the F-16, which has about 60% the installed thrust.

I inclined to believe that this is Lockheed speak for “we’ll cook the books with a test we design, and you’ll like it.”
