Template information:

The purpose of the JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was to develop a new all-fifth-generation all-weather fighter that could replace existing attack aircraft from the United States and NATO forces. A development team led by Lockheed Martin was formed, which created a single-engine single-engine F-35 Lightning II. He was equipped with "invisible" stealth technology, as well as trapezoidal wings and the most modern hi-tech materials and avionics systems. During its development, it was expected that it would be deployed in the action for gaining air superiority, providing close support and attacks on ground targets. It has therefore been designed in various configurations. The F-35A is a version with a conventional way of takeoff and landing, the F-35B version with the ability of short takeoff and vertical landing and the F-35C version with folding wings was developed specifically for use on conventional aircraft carriers. For its operational flexibility, advanced onboard technology and other impressive innovations, the F-35 Lightning II will be a key benchmark for 21st century military aviation.
