Abstract
Britain’s new aircraft-carrier programme faces a difficult decision this year about which fighters to operate from the ships. There is the opportunity to equip the ships with an unusually potent but economical aircraft-type, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), but at the possible cost of exposing the UK project to US political and budgetary decisions. The point of no return will come when construction of the ships begins, probably in 2006. At that point, if Britain has chosen JSF, it will have to be confident that the aircraft will be available on time.
