I am note an expert on these new aircraft, from what I know from working on the F-22 for 16 years, the F-35 is a whole new aircraft and is not based on the F-22. Also worked on the F-35 proposal from the local kite factory. Altho the 2 planes might look similar to the untrained eye there is no comparison.
