The problem with the project is that it is plain stupid. You have no way to make a plane it an excellent dogfighter, an excellent striker and the excelent ground support at the same time. A sane general build three aircraft each specializing in something, such as the F22 as fighter, the F15 as a striker and the A10 as close air support. They tried the "Jack of all trades" with the FB-111 and failed, I thought they had learned their lesson. But Lockheed promises that he will be all of this to sell the project and bring the pork home.
