The F-111's Fatal Flaw#shorts

The F-111, an American supersonic tactical strike aircraft, had a design flaw that was considered a major issue during its operational history. The primary flaw was related to its escape system, specifically the crew ejection system.

The F-111 featured a unique escape system known as the "Escape Module," which was designed to allow the crew to eject safely at high speeds and altitudes. However, the system had a significant flaw related to its operation. The Escape Module was initially designed to separate from the rest of the aircraft and descend under a parachute after ejection, but this proved to be problematic in real-world scenarios.
