Does it have thrust vectoring not including the VL?
USFCARTWRIGHT (June 4, 2008 at 10:15 pm)
they wouldnt start to fall, the thrust would be directed between the ground and horizontal, so it would start of going up and once it gets to a certain altitude it would gain speed until it has enough speed to get lift. it really is amazing, look at videos of the harrier, how it does it.

I think the point with the hover thing is to minimize the A/Cs stacking area & in case we have rocky land we need to land on or to take off from the hover thing would be the best

what can this plane do that the f22 raptor cant?... (besides the vertical takeoff)

What can the f15 do that the f16 cant its the same thought the f35 is made do be multirole and is cheaper

If you factor in the cost, the question is what can 10 F35s do which one F22 can't?

Take off on a aircraft carrier with ease...
Not to mention reliability, also for any country other then america the cost of getting them repaired would outweigh the cost of even having them.

yes. disadvantage: the f-22 would own it in combat. f-22 would own anything in the skies now in combat.

we have two new ones under construction tyvm. they are about 3/4 the size of the american supercarriers
