Yes, thats the one. There are two main versions of it, one with VTOL and one without. No prizes for guessing which one has had all the complications. Lots of components have had to be redesigned/re-thought etc. Basically its a total mess and the running costs are going to be phenomenal - now its got to the stage where its literally being pushed though the door into pilot's hands for training in a very dubious state of completion.
Even the F22 has been grounded for long periods just last year to investigate the oxygen supply failing mid-flight causing the pilot to crash... and the canopy coatings peel off in bad weather...
F18s and harriers it is for the next ten years then.
