I hope they have red Brembo brakes on them.
All the really fast cars have red Brembo brakes on them.
They say they really help for cornering.
Maybe they could help these planes corner better.
That and some good anti sway bars.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did this in a movie already. lol
Why did it take them so long to figure this one out as practical? Not allowed to think?

Carrier landings have always seemed like semi-controlled crash landings to me.

But for most missions the F-35B won’t need stealth...
...
But the taxpayers will be paying for it anyway.
And all that money goes into somebody’s pocket.

Big brakes help cornering. Brembos are great big brakes. Manufacturers could develop something as good, but why spend the money when you can buy Brembo systems and drivers who care about cornering get good brakes and douchebags who care about logos get the red caliper and logo. It’s a Win-Win-Win.

I was reading about the WWII Corsairs. The reason the Marines got them first was that the initial landing gear design was too "stubby" to allow stable ("safe") carrier landings.
To: sukhoi-30mki
It’s going to eliminate simultaneous take-off’s and landings, if that was ever envisioned for the QE-class.
