To be fair the the specification is very hard, a STOVL, supersonic,
three way compatable, cheap, that fulfills a dozen countries future
fight/bomber requirements, with adequate workshare, within a very
tight timeframe!!, any one of these could cause problems, as a group
of challenges they are quite formidable.

a Posible solution- I think they might (just might) cut a varient, to
make it two main varients with a 'bodgy' third varient.

Which one of the varients is the most likely to be cut? my monies on
the CTOL, a modified STVOL with a fuel tank instead of the lift fan
would give the best bodgy CTOL third varient, range would nearly be in
the original CTOL range.

Any other suggestions to make the program easier?.
