The Controversy

This amazing fighter jet may come with a major design flaw. There have been several reports of pilots not getting enough oxygen and passing out in mid-flight. The United States Air Force has not yet found the cause for the loss of oxygen. The Raptor was grounded for five months after several reports of pilots passing out during test flights. After the five months they started up again, yet the problem still persisted. Some pilots are even asking not to fly them due to this. One incident even took a pilots life, and the other pilots were told not to take this to the public, and threatened their jobs if they did. The pilots still took this to the public and started up a huge controversy weather or not to keep the Raptor operational.
