A list of serious flaws has been found in a jet fighter in development for 15 years.
The F-35's ejector seat "failed to meet neck-injury criteria" and the jet had a "limited ability to respond to threats", the US defence department has said.
The jet's development, by Lockheed Martin, has already cost $1 trillion (£0.7tn), partly funded by the UK.
Previously, its UK planned deployment date was put back from 2012 to 2023.
