I said that the F-35B would not have the ability to Vector thrust in Forward Flight. You seem to think that the articulating nozzle used in vertical flight modes is usable by pilot control in forward flight.

All I asked was how that was going to be done without ripping off the doors around the empennage, and controlled since the F-35 doesn't have a nozzle control lever like the Harrier? The answer is that it can't.

Those levers only get shown to the PWKWTAD (Pilots Who Know What They Are Doing), rather than the flunkies.

If you feel that way you should write your congressman and complain you're not getting your money's worth from your tax dollars. Thanks for the pay raise.

***I do feel that way. One of the missions of the JSF is to replace the Harrier. My worry is that it seems like you might be assigned to that project. Your demonstration of a lack of knowledge on the subject of the Harrier's unique flight capabilities shows you to be incompetent to the task assigned to you, if you are not masquerading as a fighter pilot. We taxpayers deserve better than that.

Kindly forward your contact information and your supervisor's to me by freepmail and I will contact my congressman. If your information turns out to be valid, I will not reveal it to any one other than your supervisor, my congressperson, and whoever else you authorize, upon pain of removal of my posting privileges here at FreeRepublic; and I will withdraw the charge of masquerading.
