The JSF looks like a great aircraft which is why the Royal Air Force has ordered 50 of them to replace our Harriers that we scrapped last year (stupid decision IMO) Yet it looks like theres a slight problem. The planes will not be able to land on the aircraft carriers that are being built for the Royal Navy, the HMS Queen Eliabeth and HMS Prince of Wales. Simulated landings have all failed. The landing hook is too close to the wheels to work. Due to this problem the project will need a redesign or Britain will scrap it. One of many cock ups currently affecting the British Armed Forces.
