hemspilot Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Howdy all, Simple question, can the F-35B Viff, change the Engine nozzle configuration without configuring for STOVL? In othwer words is there a direct linkage between the engine driven fan fan barn door, auxiliary intake and the engine nozzle? Also, the inner weapon bays doors open up as a recirculation barrier, but can it do a STO run with the doors closed or are they connenected to the rest of the STOVL paraphernalia? Any experts out there? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Asked some friends who used to work on F-35 ITF: No they can't. Only folks that can do that is engineers for testing on the ground. The inner doors are used as LIDS if necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
