But VTOL is a potential game changer in the event of hostile action. An aircraft that doesn't require a runway to take off or land has a natural advantage. They are impressively noisy when hovering though. Also the vectored thrust made them very effective in dog fights. Shame we (UK) don't have any left in service or even an aircraft carrier to put them on. As for the ion drive - I can't see it ever being used other than in interplanetary space where atmospheric friction isn't an issue. -- Regards, Martin Brown
