Works in a similar fashion to the Sea Harrier nozzles. However the harrier uses exhaust gases from the engine and directs the air flow down. The F-35 has two ****off fans that blast cold air rather than exhaust gases downwards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I reckon air days were worse. Thousands of plane spotters creaming their pants over a harrier. Worse, their insistence on telling you EVERY tedious facet about what ever aircraft happened to be around. On top of that, it always seemed coincide with my long weekend, when I should have really been...

Cheeky git.

Being on a flight deck as the sun comes up, on a summers morning is about as good as it gets.
