Flexibility

I can only repeat the words of a friend and colleague who said 'STOVL = options'. The F35B brings a new age of options, I think we should making the step into the future rather than going backwards!

As well as nozzle nudge, MADGE & Radar/NAV PIAs, don't forget the FA2 has 2 generators.
