Frustrating there are less B models planned now. As making a common machine that can VSTOL has (severely) compromised the A and C models.
Think the thick shoulders for the lift fan placement and the induced drag that brings.

Much better in the first place to have designed a Superior conventional and carrier machine - and, designed as a separate machine for the Marines a Harrier 3.

But here we are.
