Historical Profile
The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was launched to develop a new all-weather, fifth-generation multirole fighter capable of effectively replacing ground-attack aircraft used by the United States and NATO countries. The project led to the single-seat Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Equipped with extraordinary technology, it features a trapezoidal wing design with stealth characteristics. Designed to perform air-superiority, close air support, and ground-attack missions, its airframe can be adapted to various configurations. The F-35A operates from conventional runways, the F-35B was designed for vertical take-off and landing, and the F-35C is ideal for use on aircraft carriers equipped with catapults.
Its exceptional operational flexibility, offensive payload capacity, onboard technology, and the project’s high degree of innovation have supported the current and future adoption of the F-35A among the flight units of numerous air forces.
