F-35A The Worlds Only 5th Generation Multirole Fighter


Redefining the Multirole Fighter
The 5th generation F-35 Lightning II integrates advanced
stealth technology into a highly agile, supersonic aircraft that
provides the pilot with unprecedented situational awareness
and unmatched lethality and survivability. As new threats
emerge, it is more important than ever for U.S. and allied
fighter fleets to fly the F-35 stealth fighter, the worlds only
5th generation international aircraft. While each aircraft is
uniquely designed to operate from different environments,
all three variants set new standards in network-enabled
mission systems, sensor fusion and supportability.
The F-35 redefines the multirole fighter.

The Worlds Only 5th Generation


Multirole Stealth Fighter
The conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A is a
multirole, supersonic, stealth fighter that has extraordinary
acceleration, agility and 9-g maneuverability.
In the battlespace of the future, knowledge is power,
and the F-35s advanced sensor package will gather and
distribute more information than any fighter in history. The
F-35 is designed to be a key net-enabling node in a system
of systems an information gatherer and transmitter in

a vast network. Its tremendous processing power, open


architecture, powerful sensors, information fusion and flexible
communications links will make the F-35 an indispensable tool
in future homeland defense, joint/coalition irregular warfare
and major combat operations.

Global Partnerships
The F-35s world-class supplier network helps develop hightechnology skills and create jobs throughout the world.
This interconnected group of global industries enables each
company to grow substantially both in work volume and
technical expertise as the program continues toward fullrate production of the most revolutionary multirole fighter in
aviation history.

The F-35 establishes new levels of operational availability.


With simplicity and ease of maintenance designed-in, the
aircraft brings unprecedented reliability and maintainability,
along with a reduced deployment footprint. The need for
support equipment has been reduced, and logistics are
streamlined and automated. The F-35 will provide unequaled
multimission capability with a fraction of the support required
by legacy fighters.
