[edit] Number Built

There were more than 2 were built, wasn't there? One for each variant? X360 11:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

From the text, under Variants/F-35A: The X-35A was converted into the X-35B for the VSTOL part of the competition. One X-32 was also converted, I believe the X-32A into X-32C (Naval). - BillCJ 16:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, ok. Thanks for that Bill. :) X360 21:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JAST

According to FAS.org the X-35 was developed during the JAST project, not the JSF project? - Maarten 22:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The JAST became the JSF in 1995. Check the Joint Strike Fighter Program page for more info on this. Btw, that's an old page on FAS, dated Updated Tuesday, February 10, 1998 5:16:45 AM at the bottom. The [JSF page] on that site also has good info, and was last updated in 2005. - BillCJ 00:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes JAST became JSF but the X-35 was originally designed for JAST, the article seems to skip that project entirely. Unless I've overlooked something. Ah well maybe I'm too much of a nitpicker. Maarten 00:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
