Does the us military still use jump jets?
The US Navy and Air Force had experimental jump jets in the 50's and 60's, but they never adopted them for service. To the best of this contributor's knowledge, the US Marines still use the McDonnell-Douglas Harrier (which is a US-built copy of the British Hawker-Siddeley Harrier; the first successful jump jet in the world). It flies very well but is dangerous to take off and land. With their many miles of runway and the largest aircraft carriers in the world, the Air Force and Navy probably decided that the increased danger was not justified by the VTOL benefit. For the Marines, operating from helicopter pads on ships and near the battlefield, the danger is more justified.
