Taking a look at Irene...

Has it got some nozzles somewhere? or just that moving jet pipe thing? Bizarre!

It uses a ducted fan for lift up front:

Ah i see...but arent they re-inventing the wheel a bit here? Didnt the harrier get around all this with just one engine?

F-35 can go supersonic! Harrier couldnt. Simple as that really. And it is still using one engine. Think of it like a helicopter for the lift fan.

I also noticed that in the Iris f-35 you cannot move the Afterburner up. I've tried .

Hey guys, the nozzle move into the vertical takeoff position. Can I have some help? I honestly don't have a clue about how to switch the nozzles position.

The last shot is really cool, the exhaust pointing downward. The only good VTOL I found is the payware Wilco Harrier.
