Perhaps 'LO' you would be kind enough to explain what is meant by all of this then please. Thanks.
F-35B sea-trials aboard the USS Wasp Dave Majumdar on 30 August, 2013
"...An interesting factoid, one of the USMC test pilots mentioned this little tidbit—they have to use a modified Rutowski profile in order to get the F-35B and C up to Mach 1.6. Basically, you do one push over, unload the jet and accelerate, get up to 1.2, turn and repeat until you hit 1.4 Mach, turn and repeat till you hit Mach 1.6. It just barely gets there and barely has any gas left over afterwards. The kinematics are basically F/A-18C-like, though that was apparently exactly what was expected."
