We would have ended up with the A-12 Avenger II; the worst idea for an aircraft since the Goblin. Say what you will, the F-35 is a great aircraft. Just needs more engines.

Those wings can flap as much as 22 feet at the wingtips, in flight. They sure are ungainly beasts, on the ground. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note: having two engines would have been really difficult engineering with the B variant, the VSTOL version for the Marines and other countries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
