The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was set up to develop a new fifth-generation all-weather multi-role fighter capable of constituting a substitute for current US and NATO ground attack aircraft. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II single-seater aircraft was born from the project. Equipped with extraordinary technology it is characterized by the adoption of an aerodynamic layout, with stealth characteristics, trapezoidal wing. Designed to carry out aerial superiority missions, close air support and ground attack, its cell is declinable in different configurations. The F-35B thanks to its STOVL capabilities has been designed for vertical landing and take-off and to operate from aircraft carrier ships such as the Queen Elizabeth of the Royal Navy or the Cavour of the Italian Navy. Also used by the Marine Corps, it is characterized by the adoption of the Pratt & Whitney engine with afterburner and downward adjustable exhaust nozzle. The extreme operational flexibility, the offensive cargo that is capable of transported, the on-board technology and the strong innovation of the project, will make the F-35 Lightning II a confident protagonist of the 21st century Air Force.
