wow, not only is it single engine, but it is single seat as well. I can't hardly believe any service is going with single seat these days. there is waaay too much going on to not have a second in command.

I mean, I suppose computers play a heavy role, but nothing beats having a person to back you up/take care of other roles ina mission.
F18 is single seat as well. F16, A10, F117, F22, Harrier - all single seat. It can be done w/o issue.

I worked on JSF so it will always hold special place in my heart, beauty of an aircraft... lots of development to go yet though. I got to spend time at Edwards during a flight test of X-35 and saw a veritable airshow, including ospreys, tankers, F-16s, F-18s but specially remember the F-22's on taxi around the airfield that day. The F-22 was an awesome aircraft in person and is simply, well... HUGE. I've always thought that JSF looks like its little brother.
The eurofighter is cool as well, but F-22 and F-35 have one small advantage... Stealth!
