Would a flying battlecruiser belong to the navy, the air force, or a new service?
Short answerSeparate American service versions are expected, alongside a British joint force shared by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
NotesThe aircraft-and-warship combination gives both air forces and navies a claim to the new vehicle. Separate US Navy and US Air Force versions are predicted. For Britain, the participants expect plans for separate squadrons to shrink into a shared force. The F-35 comparison concerns joint ownership; the proposed numbers remain speculative.
