Without friends at home and abroad, the furtive fighters of the fifth generation F-35a are a courageous statement of American air in the world more and more unstable.
This story.
Combatants who become Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II have initial roots in the JOEF Fighter Hunter (JSF), the supply efforts to sweep, which are intended to finally remove not only the aging of the F-16 Falon fought but also F / A-18 Hornet and F-117 Nighthawk.
Lockheed Martin has been declared a winner of the general competition after the introduction of his prototype X-35. These prototypes then changed in the early 2000s, with subtle but consequent changes in stabilization and fuselage, and set up as F-35. Unlike popular design, the F-35 is actually a family of three fighters related to closure but fundamentally different. The F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing variant (CTOL) purchased by the US Air Force (USAF). F-35B is an intermediate variant and vertical (STOVL) which is intended to replace the body fleet of the Hornet fighters' navy when approaching the date of the sunset projected in 2030. Finally, the F-35C is Assisted Apapult but variant recovery stopped designed to work from the aircraft carrier as part of the vessel strike of the American aircraft (CSGS).
Variants.
The F-35A USAF has so far have most of the three variants, because the Air Force plans to increase to 1,763 of these units up to 2044. With 283 models currently in service, the F-35A is Serial produced at an incredible speed. The Lightning II has become the most USAF fighters after the F-16. The more the Falcons are gradually struggling in the coming years, only the problem of time until the F-35 becomes the most protected air force fighters.
What makes a beast f-35.
The F-35 is a single stealth multirole motor fighter, intended to perform aerial superiority and a strike mission. But the true operational flexibility of the aircraft lies in its ability to move smoothly between configurations to match the level of the threat presented by the air assets and the enemy's defenses. The F-35 Four Four Missiles AIM-120 AMRAAM for the air-to-air mission, or four BIM-120 / GBU-31 JDAM "Smart Bomb" for the air mission, in the bay of internal arms. The shelves of the "Sidekick 'weapon Lockheed Martin appeared on block IV F-35, would allow fighters to bring an additional two AIM-120 with a total of six. This is the F-35A stealth loading, which Minimizes the Radar-Cross section (which is supposed to be comparable to the metal golf balls of the front) to allow the maximum penetration potential to the "first day of the first war) which are very saturated" "environment when the system Anti-air of the enemy always works at full capacity.
When enemy airspace is increasingly compromised thanks to the degradation of the current hostile air defense, the conflict enters the "third day of war". More under a high threat, the F-35 squadron now has the possibility of sacrificing stealth performance to release its complete billing capacity - which consists of more than a dozen missiles AIM-120, or six guided bombs and four more Missiles of air in the air. Saved in internal and external bays - in the previous configuration called "Animal Mode".
Strategist.
But the gross offensive capacities are only part of the F-35 one of the most sophisticated air power platforms of its time. With a wide circuit board and solid data processing software, combatants can produce a dynamic image of the battlefield and feed some of this information to the nearest friendly units, playing what the Capt pilot f- 35 demonstrated. Andrew "Olson" dojo "called" quarterback "in the sky." When we go there, we have a lot of gas, we can go out for a long time and we can paint the battle for everyone and share the awareness of the situation with our fourth genera brothers and sisters.
