Re: "It won't"
Even worse, our planes are the wretched F-35B, sacrificing over a third of fuel capacity to the Heath-Robinson lift fan, so you have a lot of refuelling for a plane whose operational range was already pitiful
I don't think these are the "jump jets" for what has been called "carriers", but the land based version. No blowhard fans, a tad lighter and more maneuverable with a bit more range. And lot fewer maintenance headaches*.
*Not saying the non-jump version doesn't have maintenance headaches... just a comparison.
