You see the A-22 has 2 compact high bypass electric motors both of the 120,000 lb thrust class which uses thrust reversers & the canard foreplanes are used to shorten take offs and landings. The motors also support the 2 pound  22 inch compact low cost modular 3d printed honeycomb sandwich armoured structure/plating spread out equally over all vital areas. The aircraft uses the same controls as the A-10 but they are improved in other words it doesn't use fly by wire computers at all.

It's all about the backstory!

The late Pierre Sprey in an interview in 2010 explains why the f-35 IS a LEMON.

Other opinions are available of course.............
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

My apologies. it wasn't my intention to offend anyone it was just to explain my option on Pierre Sprey and he is right about manoeuvring air support being used by A-10 style aircraft and not supersonic aircraft.

An idea for anyone on the tactics of close/manuevering air support which the A-22 Thunderbolt III & A-11 Skyraider II would be able to perform with success.
