The construction blueprints are minor. The real problem is the transfer of technical information that could aid an adversary in defeating the stealth, jamming and VSTOL technologies. It would, in essence, leave the US and its allies with a very expensive turkey.

Keep in mind, this is such an expensive aircraft that the contracting work is being sub-divided among the countries purchasing the JSF so each country can justify its purchase of the plane.
