The F-35 Lightning II is Lockheed Martin’s 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment.
Three distinct variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least ten other countries.
This guide is designed to give you an overview of the F-35 variants, some of the new technologies the JSF is adopting and which countries and companies are participating in the programme.
Lt Gen Christopher C. Bogdan, the Program Executive Officer for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office, has been confirmed as a speaker at the International Fighter conference, taking place in London in November.
