Sweet JSF Animation


While BF-1, the first production F-35B, has been relegated to strictly conventional flight to date, this super sweet animation from Stephen Trimble's blog does an amazing job highlighting the aircraft's future short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) capabilities. Combining the awesome footage with the cool soundtrack and this short vid clip got me all pumped up to see this JSF variant in action.

None of the 3 variants of JSF will be able to do what is shown in this animation. The nearest will be the STOVL one (B variant IIRC) & that is Short Take Off, not Vertical Take Off ie it is STOVL, not VSTOL.
