now lets see if Lockheed can get it in service with a sticker price less than the B2... they suck at cost control.

To date we have so much information on the F22 most of us can draw its specs in our sleep.

The F35 OTOH is a little more mysterious.

Any hard data on capabilities?

If this is a VTOL or STOL a/c, then I personally think the West has made another mistake. The West always tries to load many mission capabilities onto one airframe. The Enemy assigns one, maybe two, mission capabilities to a given airframe. The West wins most battles because we have superior pilots while the other guys have a/c that are, at minimum, equal to ours, probably better at their few missions. In net, we win because of the better pilots although we handicap our pilots with a sluggishly performing a/c.

I will always believe that the YF-23 was a far superior (and more beautiful) plane than the F-22.

However, there is no doubt that the Lockheed F-35 is a hell of a lot better looking than the Boeing entry for JSF.

There is a reason the pilots gave it the nickname "Monica".
