It's not as if it was obvious, or anything like that, that designing a jet with a whole bunch of doors exposed to rapid airflow, noise and vibration, that have to close to tight tolerances after take-off, and are all flight-critical on landing, might be a challenge.
Hmm - not good. Wasn't that what a famous VTOL test pilot (and forum poster here) said they might have trouble with....???
