F-35B Lightning II

The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-35 is the next generation Joint Strike Fighter which is set to replace the aging fighter fleet along with offer many planes to allied countries. The F-35B version of this plane is one of the most capable and amazing aircraft ever created. The F-35B was created to service the Marines and replace the AV-8B Harrier. The F-35B has a lift fan right behind the cockpit and the main engine swivels downward.

The F-35B is the first aircraft that can take off, go supersonic, and land vertically. The design of the aircraft is amazing, and the engine is able to pull of some pretty crazy things.

Watch the video below and enjoy this new aircraft!



Godspeed
