Absolutely not, this aircraft is an entirely different platform. Aside from the fact it's a single engine platform, it's revolutionary in that it has vertical capability, supercruise capability, and low observability. This aircraft will have several variants which will serve multiple branches of the military, thus it's name "Joint Strike Fighter"...a joined military platform, capable of strike and air superiority.

It'll be quite the compliment to the F22's supreme air dominance fighter role, the F117's strike capability, and the B2's heavy bombing capability.

Will be the first combat aircraft to not have a HUD (heads up display) but rather a HMD (helmet mounted display) so where the pilot looks the weapons point (similar to a heli gunner but fully integrated with the jet and weapons).

It is also going to replace the british harrier in the UK.
