think these are due to start deployment in 2007. It uses internal weapon bays like the F-22, although it's stealth profile isnt quite as good. Unlike the F-22, certain versions can be outfitted with VTOL capabilities, which is why it will be replacing existing Harriers as well.
All models will be vector thrust, giving them far better manuverability than the current generation of fighters. The only criticism I have seen so far is the fact that it is a single engine fighter (if that engine goes out, there is no back up).

HEY s SAD this one topic we can agree on. The JSF is an all service fighter so yes it will have a variant for the NAVY, AIR FORCE, and the Mow Reens ..
I didn't realize that it was due for u it deliveries in 2007 or maybe wjhen I first heard about the date it was so far away at the time it seemed as if it was future future land.
You are correct that it will have proactive ECM ( Electronic Counter \Measures) to id and "burn" out enemy radars ( on board ones usually) but some of our enemies are also working on ECCM ( Electronic Counter Counter Measures).
This is all good stuff !!!! All that I can do is watch the young guys play with these nice new toys !!!!!!
