in regards to the F-35B Lightning II
Developed under the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program , the F-35 integrates multiple functions into its design and there are three kinds: the F-35A mainstream takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft, the F-35B short takeoff, vertical landing (STOVL), plus the F-35C carrier takeoff and landing (CV). The F-35B was developed as a successor of this AV- 8B Harrier II. The F-35B is generally accepted as the aircraft which accomplished both supersonic trip and STOVL by the 3-bearing engine duct nozzle and lift fan, and after the F-35A, the F-35B deployment started in 2015. 1st F-35B to see action had been an aircraft of the U.S. Marine Corps VMFA-211 “Wake Island Avengers” in Afghanistan, in September 2018. Not merely the U.S. as well as the U.K. and Italy employs the F-35B. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force additionally plans to launch a brand new fighter squadron aided by the F-35B from 2024 forward. Since the F-35B is operated from both aircraft carriers and airfields featuring brief runways, numerous countries are thinking about its implementation, and also the F-35B looks set to be an important existence into the skies around the world.
