F35. It will be VTO capable and make anything else on the planet look like a piece of shit.

Only the Marine and Brit (and maybe some other exports) versions. The Navy will have a carrier capable version, but it will use cats and arresting wires. The Air Force version will be strictly CTOL.

Roger that. Thanks. I assumed the Navy would stick to the hook regardless if it was totally VTO. Never thought about the Airforce specs.. Obviously they don't need a hook.
