Faith

The faith-based copy/paste Australian trade press. Some weirdness from this Feb 2003 article (PDF)

"But the whole point of the JSF program is to build an affordable aircraft - cost control is of
unprecedented importance compared with previous tactical fighter projects and the Pentagon, and Lockheed Martin in their turn, simply won’t be allowed by the US government to let the costs spiral out of control."

Because?

Becauase ... not coming in on schedule, under budget, with a superweapon that clears the skies simply by opening the hangar bay doors is simply unthinkable!!!

Maybe there should be less faith and a little more analytical performance.

Reminds me of what Canadian Defence Minister Peter MacKay said when asked what would happen when an F-35's single engine quits while over the Arctic tundra:

"It won't."

Two engine with single engine failure = some chance. One engine with failure = no chance.

Not a fan of single engine aircraft operating over water.
