F-35 Cancelled, then what ?

[Engines]

LO,

I'm posting one last time, not to get back at anyone, but to make it clear to all where I'm coming from here.

As I possibly didn't make clear, I was pointing out what the F-35B performance requirements are, and how that affects the design, and the programme. As to how the USMC use that capability - well it's their shout I suppose. Not mine, not yours, I'd suspect. What I do know is that they have an endorsed set of doctrine and concepts that they are working through. They probably have some idea what they are doing. Again, feel free to disagree.

What I won't get into is a 'What about this bit of kit, what about their CONOPS eh?' discussion. Mainly because I'm an engineer, not a warfighter. Secondly, LO, because I really don't think any information (not opinions) I might post is going to change the way you look at the F-35B and the USMC. That's your right and your opinion.

Have a nice thread, all,

Best Regards as ever
