Nice photo indeed. However, apart from tricycle landing gear I fail to see any other family resemblance.

made me think of that they are quite comparable in the sense of both being heavy fighters capable of striking deep into enemy territory. Then again, one can also compare it with the British Lightning: a very fast climbing interceptor.

The F-35 does not have 2 engines. It has a lift fan powered by the main engine.
