Air Force STOVL could differ from marine
Article Abstract:
Lockheed Martin believes that an Air Force version of the short take-off, vertical landing Joint Strike Fighter could have different performance requirements than the plane it is already developing for the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps wants its STOVL aircraft to be capable of taking off in under 550 feet and landing vertically with 5,000 pounds of ordnance.
