Basic and Advanced Training, Operational Training, Light Combat 

Multiple tasks requiring different capabilities but which don’t need an entirely new design for each. Basic trainer, advanced trainer, operational training, aggressor, air display, light attack. All but the last are RAF requirements which might drive different aircraft configurations such as single/dual cockpit and different wings, along with different engines. No need for every platform to carry the same capabilities and costs so optimization of the fleet is possible. All with a goal of low acquisition and operating costs. F-35 was a far more radical combination of different requirements.

This project is revolutionizing the world of flying!
