Thank you, Engines. You have hit the exact points I was raising. And, yes, we shared the same concerns for composite ABDR with the Harrier and Typhoon. There, of course, we didn't face the additional challenge of maintaining the RCS. And that is my interest here.
As you rightly say, we won't see anything open source about it, but I thought it an interesting idea to to discuss - within the obvious bounds.
As to the landing, I was remarking on the engagement picture, not the B's slow landing.
