Only the Marine version has this capability. It is also the one in which most of the delays and cost overruns have occurred.

They're saying it's $100 million per unit - for that much, it should have done more than "looked cool" - should have washed your car and filled up your tank as it flew by.

Harriers don't hover? I know they can take off vertically.

Oh, sorry
