F-35 JSF Lightning II

Watch the X-35B (experimental Marine version of the F-35) as it became the world's first plane to have a short take-off, fly super sonic, and then vertically land all in one flight.

not to worry F-35 has more technology in one wing than SU 27 has in the whole plain uuhhmm plane... russian tech is about the same all the way around since the fall of USSR.. even their navy is falling apart!!!

As far as anything Russian is concerned "Don't believe the hype".

[RedTurbocar]

We do, it's called the F-22, and we don't sell that to anyone, not even Britain

Royal Navy needs STOVL planes because their carriers are too small for normal takeoffs

[KittyRokher]

I agree with most of the people here. VTOL is great and this jet is perfect for it but the Harrier is good enough and VTOL is used for short little takeoff places AKA areas where most jet AREN'T. Plus, this thing costs enough they would probably build a whole runway just for it lol. God damn I love this jet though, I hope I get to fly one.

Since when has vertical take-off been used for more than demonstration and air shows?

[RGpranin]

I personally think we should cancel the F-35B model and focus on the A and C models. B is Overpriced smaller internal bomb bay with less range. when have we used the full capabilities of VSTOL? Even if you do a total vertical takeoff you can't go far or carry much and better hope theres a tanker close by.The USMC and the RN RAF should focus on A and C models for the RN & USMC. Do tou really think where gonna risk basing a $117 mil jet so close to the battlefield?

I saw that video too. Those men dont know didly squat of what the hell they are talking about. 96 percent of dogfights happen beyond visual range. That is were the f-35 excels no jet nowadays would EVER allow a plane closer to it then 50 miles. The f-35 has a detection range and lock range of 200miles plus. Also its EADS system which gives it a huge advantage over any fighter you should look up the eads system on youtube.
