F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter
F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter
The F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter (JSF), developed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company for the US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps and also the UK Royal Navy.

F-35 represents the future-a new family of reasonable, stealthy combat aircraft designed to meet the twenty-first-century needs of the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, also as the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. The program is really international in its scope and participation: Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Australia, and Norway recently joined the F-35's system development and demonstration (SDD) part. All SDD partners are going to be active in the F-35's development method and stand to achieve economically from the program.

The program's objective is to develop and deploy a technically superior and affordable fleet of aircraft that support the warfighter in performing a large range of missions in a very type of theaters. The single-seat, single-engine aircraft is being designed to be self-sufficient or a part of a multisystem and multiservice operation, and to rapidly transition between air-to-surface and air-to-air missions while} still airborne. to achieve its mission, the JSF can incorporate low observable technologies, defensive avionics, advanced onboard and offboard sensor fusion, and internal and external weapons.

Plans involve the F-35 to be the world's premier strike aircraft through 2040. it'll offer air- to-air capability second only to the F-22 air superiority fighter. The plane can allow the Air Force forces to field an nearly all-stealth fighter force by 2025. The Navy and Marine variants are going to be the first deployment of an "all-aspect" stealth airplane.
