It’s been called the military program of the century. Such hype is not far off in describing the capabilities and program goals for the U.S. military’s Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Nor is it exaggeration to say the Lockheed Martin-led team that won the design competition with its F-35 had to extend aerospace technologies to bring about a common aircraft that could meet the diverse but demanding needs of three services—and do it affordably.

Sorry, the last two “Anonymous chicken” were from me also.
