And if there is a place like no other that needs out of the box thinking, it must be the military. This sounds like a shtick. The kind of mentality that made them put STOVL in the requirements for the F-35.

It isn't clear to me whether you think this is good or bad.

STOVL was a requirement because they are replacing the aging harrier jumpjet
Isn’t it supposed to replace like 8 different jets? Seems like an overloaded set of requirements.
