Hi Crumpp,
>It very nicely illustrates the fact the aircraft is designed to do a job and unless the design team is incompetent, it will perform that design task.
Interesting that you mention that - Mike Crosley, Fleet Air Arm Seafire pilot and military test pilot, heavily criticized the Barracuda too ... but not for being a poorly designed aircraft, but for being an aircraft designed for poorly conceived specifications. Seems to be right on your line of thinking!
Regards,
