The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) has temporarily grounded the Lockheed Martin F-35B short take-off/vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the tri-service stealth fighter after the failure of a fueldraulic line in the aircraft's propulsion system. The fueldraulic line powers the actuator for the F-35B's STOVL exhaust vectoring system.
