John (or anybody else who knows about this),
Just a question as you seem to be the man to ask this.
I know it is a pointless question but I'm just asking out of my personal
technological interest.
Would the F32 conceived by Boeing have been a better platform for the VTOL variant?
I was just wondering about this because it seemed a lot simpler, more straightforward.
Because it had a harrier type set of swingnozzles (no extra liftfan) a centrally placed engine (good weight balance/ CoG) and a substantially lower empty weight combined with a lot of place to store fuel in that massive one piece deltawing, it seems that it would have been a better choice for the B (and maybe also C) version , no?
