The F-35 Lightning II is the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter. It will replace the U.S. Air Force’s aging fleet of F-16s and A-10s, which have been the primary strike fighter aircraft for more than 20 years, and bring with it an enhanced capability to survive in the advanced threat environment in which it was designed to operate.
With its aerodynamic performance and advanced integrated avionics, the F-35 Fighter Jet will provide next-generation stealth, enhanced situational awareness, and reduced vulnerability for the United States and allied nations.
