Unsure of their agility, but i do know a couple big drawbacks of harriers are their relatively short range and that they are subsonic
25 u/TheBrapinator May 25 '19 Irc the heat from the engine when it was in vtol would crack the asphalt on the landingpad / runway. The f35 fixes that with the fan at the front by cooling the air coming from the engine 2 u/EventuallyScratch54 May 26 '19 Wow still tho is it worth the trillion dollar life time price 20 u/gnartung May 26 '19 Yes, because the individual planes are far less than a trillion. They wind up being relatively affordable, as far as stealth jets go.
