    An update on this.

    8 Fleet Air Arm pilots are being sent to the USA to train with the US Marine Corps on catapult assisted take-off using F/A18s. Additionally a firm has also announced it had been awarded a £650,000 contract from the MoD to develop an electromagnetic catapult system suitable for the new aircraft carriers.

    It seems things are moving against the VSTOL F35C's in favour of the F/A18 or maybe even the conventional and cheaper F35B.

    Personally I think the F/A18 is the most cost effective option.
