Obviously the criterion should never be aesthetics or 'beauty'beautiful jet perfect for USAF.
i don't know why they selected F-35.

and what about pak hu..
1st look at your own house then comment on others
at least we can make or build something.
what you came up till now cannot be compared to any one in the world because nobody makes that type of crap to compare with.

A happy aircraft, and actually more innovative than its Lockheed competitor in many ways. Clearly designed around the STOVL version engine. Wonder how that would have translate to air force and navy versions. I like it.
Now this, this is ugly (XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter)
And this (Saunders-Roe SR.A/1)
If CTOL versions of 35 & 32 are compared then which one is better? What pros and cons both have?
I think US did a mistake by not offering 32 CTOL version to its allies, it would have been good jet for many nation.

Primarily
a) the propulsion set up
b) the design lay out (after modification)
c) two seperate prototypes for proving vertical and horizontal flight.

This jet already had earned a silly name. It was called the sailor inhaler because of its pelican mouth like intake

it looks pretty cool when looking from above.
if the F-32 would of cost 1/2 to 1/3 less than the F-35, think we should of went for that instead

It's weirdness should not matter if it performs.
By the way why is it so ...... fat?
Does it house more weapons or more fuel?

I don't see what is racist about 'Goblin'. If you have a problem with 'parasite fighter', then that's because your interpretation is flawed (the aircraft is the parasite, not its target). Here's the concept illustrated:LOL..the very name is extremely ugly..
It´s not really ugly, just looks different !
