The Joint Strike Fighter at the start of the month was doing engine run-up trial which was rated I think to 40,000lb of thrust... but by now the F35 should well and truly made its first flight. Not sure if it was the VTOL version or not? Still a nice aircraft but id prefer the F-22.

The F35 was scheduled for first flight in September.. but AA-1 was not ready. The engine yes, was powered up recently, hrm, I believe we have footage here somewhere..

But yes, the F22 is a piece of work is it not..

Its the most powerful single engine aircraft ever produced..

There is 2 engines destined for the F35, Initially the Pratt & Whitney F135 and then later the General Electric/Rolls-Royce F136.. But yes, 38500 and 39500 lb of thrust... Compared to 23000lb which the Harrier's RR Pegasus engine has

Also, there is only CV, STOVL, and CTOL no such thing as VTOL

Carrier varient,

Short take off vertical landing,

Conventional take off and landing

vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (VTOL), craft capable of rising and descending vertically from and to the ground, thus requiring no runway.

F-35 will be made in many versions, conventional take-off version for the Air Force, a carrier-capable variant for the Navy and a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) configuration for the Marine Corps and the U.K. Royal Navy. The VTOL JSF was designed to replace the Harrier in about 10 to 15 years.
