2810 - F-35B "Lightning" II in scale 1:48
The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was a development project to create a new 5th generation all-weather multi-role combat aircraft to replace the existing US and NATO strike fighter force. The aerospace industry team led by aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Martin created the single-seat, single-engine F-35 Lightning II. This fighter uses stealth technology and is characterized by its trapezoidal wings and the use of the most advanced high-tech systems, materials and avionics. Designed to achieve air superiority, provide close air support and conduct ground attack missions, it has been developed in various configurations for its various roles. The F-35B with its STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing) capability has been specially designed to operate from modern aircraft carriers such as the British HMS Queen Elizabeth or Cavour, flagship of the Italian navy. The US Marines Corps plans to deploy the F-35B in both attack and ground support roles. The STOVL version is powered by the Pratt & Whitney afterburning turbofan and its rotating nozzle, which controls the thrust of the engine. Due in part to its operational flexibility, its advanced onboard technology, innovative design and performance features, the F-35 Lightning II is already a landmark aircraft in the world of 21st century military aviation.
