Courtney, besides the obvious Sense and the F35 project possible oxymoron. It would seem that the requirement for SSL has yet to be taken very seriously by the project team, at least in the face of it.
It would be extremely embarrassing, for the UK, if when the version 3F Software comes out that the SSL landing mode had not been sorted out, debugged, or the requirement for crash barriers to be installed on the QEC class because say brake fade or tyre blow outs were causing unacceptable losses of airframes, had not been recognised. Not that I am suggesting that the F35B is as fragile as the initial Seafires.
