F/A-35 Lightning II STOVL ground test

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a single-seat, single-engine, stealth-capable military strike fighter, a multi-role aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air superiority fighter missions.
The F-35 is planned to be built in three different versions to suit the needs of its various users. Orders for many aircraft are expected with the United States Air Force planning to acquire 1,765.
The F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant intended for the US Air Force and other air forces.
The F-35B is the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant aircraft.
The F-35C carrier variant will have a larger, folding wing and larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, and stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier landings.
Maximum speed Mach 1.6
Rate of climb: (not publicly available)
