believe he is talking about the ability to land vertically here my friend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esCe7qeOf6I#t=2221

harriers don't really have the option of landing conventionally as it it there breaks are not strong enough. and there air brake can scrape on the ground it can be done but its only in an emergency. the current procedure is like the video "try and see"
I don't like the JSF. I think its a flawed idea from the get go and think the delays and cost bear that out. but some of these news stories are over the top. finding cracks in testing is why you test. the only way the fan on an f-35b is going to get damaged is by battle damage. regular maint and standard checks should keep it in operation just fine and it has covers on both ends so nothing is going to hit it. the intake is on top so the fod will have a hard time getting in. f-117 is like that too. that is not an option in a harrier where the vertical system is the same as main engine and its more open for something to hit.
im sure if i keep posting here you will get my problems with the JSF. people seem to have a hard time looking for trees and missing the forest. that is my problem with it. even when all the trees are fixed its a bad forest. the super hornet had plenty of problems in its testing and development and now it is one of the finest most well rounded medium strike fighters in the world. people are confusing test problems with real problems and real problems with test problems
there are plenty of big problems without drama like if it takes a single fragment the plane will explode. that also may explain why there is no damage monitor for the fan! ha! so which drama do i believe? one hit and its dead or it can be hit and the pilot not even know it. can we all see the opposite extremes being shown here? as well it is true of any aircraft providing it hits the right spot that it can explode. i know he is refering to the gyrenes taking out the firefighting gear because the weight issues on the b are so scary its not funny but this is childish. be critcel of the jSF the right way sorry for the long windy post. from here i will try to talk about how the f-35 compares to the Super hornet. i will try to be fair to both sides and show where the jsf went wrong without having to resort to exageretion
