F-35 Lightning II Poster - 5th-Gen Multirole Strike Fighter

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is the most expensive weapons program in the history of any nation, a joint strike fighter developed across three variants for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, and procured by over a dozen allied nations. It is also, for all the controversy that has surrounded its development, a genuinely remarkable aircraft. The F-35A (Air Force conventional variant), F-35B (Marine Corps short takeoff/vertical landing), and F-35C (Navy carrier variant) share an 80% parts commonality while meeting the specific requirements of their different services. The F-35B's ability to hover and land vertically, enabled by a lift fan driven by a shaft from the main engine, is particularly extraordinary.

The F-35's defining characteristic is not raw performance but information dominance. Its sensor suite, AN/APG-81 AESA radar, Electro-Optical Targeting System, Distributed Aperture System providing 360-degree infrared vision around the aircraft, and advanced electronic warfare systems, is integrated by a fusion algorithm that presents the pilot with a comprehensive, processed battlespace picture rather than raw sensor data. As of 2025, over 1,000 F-35s have been delivered to US and allied air forces, and the aircraft has seen combat with the Israeli Air Force, US Air Force, and US Marine Corps. With allied procurement continuing and no replacement in sight for decades, the F-35 will define Western air power through the middle of the century.
