USMC F-35Bs are only going to VL 10% of the time, or so they say ATM. This is mostly to save money on wear and tear on the aircraft's doors and swiveling parts, and to a lesser extent on fuel. They can also "save" money on fuel by cutting its predicted future cost assumptions by 10%....

Note: I had posted based on memory, and I had the savings parameters reversed...
