I've seen the video and would like to see the 'B' do the same stuff, the amount of fuel needed for its STOVL performance would suggest its greater weight and greater demand for fuel for the lift fan and all are severe limiting factors. When SDSR 2010 recommended the 'C' and angled deck carriers the Government should have looked elsewhere than BAE systems and their profit margin to get carriers that would meet the requirement.
