I guess the problem lies in the merge with the VTOL requirements as well. These aircraft have complete different design requirements.A more ideal shape would be a delta wing with canards for the ctol/cv. And a two engined aircraft would have fulfilled these roles better, with more range, speed, lower drag and a bigger load, in combination with the diamond delta wing and canards.Pros:- Lower development costs- Higher speed- Bigger range- Better replacement towards f-16Cons:- higher price a unit- More maintenance,- The Americans aren't used to delta configurations.
