The RAF , RN and USMC disagree Add the USAF to that equation--they just officially announced that they are interested in revamping their programmed buy to include some B models as well. It's all just a trick: the USAF wants the F-35Bs so they can rip the lift fan out and put the generator for the laser there. ;-) Honestly, now that I've said it, it doesn't sound that far fetch... They better get that laser thing miniaturized quick then because right now it's HUGE! COIL, yes, but the solid state job wasn't doing so bad in the size department and it would actually be the generator living in the lift fan hole I believe. The real problem volume wish would be fitting in the optic train.
