That thing does VTAL, doesn't it?

Actually, its VTOL.
Vertical Take-Off / Landing

The F135 aircraft will replace ALL other aircraft that we use. It has two configurations and capabilities that are not currently public.

(Shhh... I work for the Engine Manufacturer)

I was under the impression that it wouldn't be VTOL, but would be variable depending on which branch uses it. CTOL for USAF; STOVL for U.S.M.C and U.K Royal Navy; and CV (Carrier-based) for the U.S. Navy.

I'm no expert, just what a little birdie told me.

Yes, you are correct.
The JSF has two variants, STOVL and CTOL.

I need one of those.

Funny, I thought we only talked about BOTL on this board.

Nice!!

Thanks Loosie.

I'm sure Kerry will vote against it.

Hey, I say give the best tools to our nations Warriors! They risk it all so that we don't have to!
