#3 Oh great now they want lasers.

So the F-35 will be fully operational in 2035?

What about Warp Drive or Tachyon flux drive propulsion.

They can sit around and pull crap out of their butts ad infinitum and maybe this thing will die on its own.

The F-35, the Airplane that ate the Pentagon.

#10 I think the idea was they'd retrofit the electrical generating equipment to the Air Force A model where the lift fan is on the Marine model.

#12 Lasers are nifty if you have the power to run them.
Putting a big-ass generator on a ship is easier than on a plane.
