An F-35C made an arrested landing on Nimitz.
I read just a few months ago that this is impossible for various reasons.
I guess it's just the engineer in me that read the various reasons as making the solution more difficult than they would otherwise be, instead of making them impossible.
Over and over in the F-35 program we're encountering things that have to be the way they are for the VTOL F-35B making the other two variations harder to get finished with.
More difficult does not mean impossible.
