I doubt that future strike ucavs are going to be v/stol capable, will this influence carrier design and therefore jsf type?
To quote Barry Norman, "And Why Not?" Maybe not a Taranis or X-47B Pegasus-sized UCAV, and I guess it depends on US DoD funding or whether LockMart plans to fund it itself, but this beast might be ideal for the CVFs if they remain as they are.
