History
Recognised as one of the world's most advanced aircraft, the Lockheed Martin® F-35B® Lightning® is a fifth generation multi-role combat aircraft crafted to excel in aerial dominance, utilising stealth technology to remain undetected in adversarial airspace, targeting enemy strongholds, or transmitting crucial battlefield data to allied forces.
The United Kingdom has chosen the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) 'B' variant of the F-35, enabling their aircraft to operate from standard airfields, the decks of Britain's two new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, and if necessary, from dispersed locations, much like the iconic Harrier did in the past.
In British service, the F-35 will not bear the Lightning II designation, as this new aircraft is actually the third to carry the name in RAF history, following the Lockheed P-38 from World War II and the celebrated English Electric Lightning from the Cold War period.
