Are you optimistic about this aircraft ever becoming fully operational? (STOVL version) I am only asking as it clearly effects decisions regarding our aircraft carriers.
Sorry - am I missing something here? Haven't we already withdrawn from the F35B programme (and perhaps why SSSETOWTF PPRuNe location is somewhere far less glamorous!
). Certainly the article
here suggests so!
There's not a lot of good news for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in the UK review. A requirement for 138 F-35Bs has been wiped out and replaced by a smaller - possibly much smaller - number of F-35Cs.
