The JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program was established to develop a new fifth-generation all-weather multi-role fighter capable of serving as a viable replacement for ground attack aircraft of the United States and NATO countries. From this project emerged the single-seat Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft. Equipped with extraordinary technology it is characterized by the adoption of an aerodynamic layout featuring stealth capabilities and a trapezoidal wing design.

Designed to perform missions of air superiority close air support and ground attack its airframe can be configured in various setups. The F-35A operates from conventional runways the F-35B is designed for vertical take-off and landing and the F-35C is ideal for deployment from conventional aircraft carriers. More specifically the F-35C is distinguished by its folding wingtips to optimize onboard storage operations a rear arrestor hook and a reinforced frontal gear suitable for catapult launch systems on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
