That's a subtle way of taking the piss. Either that or you're unreasonably enthusiastic about an unproven fighter that we know very little about. I think you're on SAC's payroll :p

That's what the F-35C should have looked like, with two engines. Oh well.

Different utility curves. I doubt that Lockheed Martin and USAF are run by morons. In any case, without using the F135 in F-35 range and opting for something like two F414 derivatives, means high end projects like F135 and improvements do not get the budgeting they deserve. Creating these next gen high thrust fans is arguably more useful than next generation version of F414/EJ200.
