The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was set up to develop a new fifth generation all-weather multirole fighter capable of constituting a viable replacement for current ground strike aircraft in the United States and NATO countries. From the project was born the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II single-seater aircraft. Featuring an amazing technology it features an aerodynamic layout, stealth, trapezoidal wing. Designed to perform air superiority missions, close air support and ground attack, its cell is declinable in different configurations. The F-35B thanks to its STOVL capabilities is designed for vertical landing and take-off and to operate from aircraft carriers 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 swivel exhaust nozzle. The extreme operational flexibility, the offensive load that is capable of transport, the on-board technology and the strong innovation of the project, will make the F-35 Lightning II a sure protagonist of the 21st century Air Force.
