>>>The F-35 series of fighters are highly complex systems that will work, sometime.
I doubt it.
The F35b carries a large lift-fan, when there is no need for one whatsoever. It has trouble transitioning to the hover, because of fan door and airflow issues. It cannot go supersonic without returning to base after five minutes. It cannot vector in flight. The 'c' version cannot catch a cable, without a hook so long you could see it on your weather radar. And now to increase performance, it has external stores - "hey, Bud, why can every radar in Eyerakk see me?" Duhhhhh...
So in the end, after all this computer designed cutting edge technology, we will not get anything better than the 1970s Harrier. Happy days.
