Italeri – The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was set up to develop a new fifth generation “all-weather” multi-role fighter capable of constituting a valid replacement for the current ground attack aircraft of the United States and NATO countries. From the project was born the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II single-seat aircraft. Equipped with extraordinary technology, it is characterized by the adoption of an aerodynamic layout, with stealth characteristics, with a trapezoidal wing. Designed to carry out air superiority, close air support and ground attack missions, its airframe can be declined in different configurations. The F-35B thanks to its STOVL capabilities was designed for vertical take-off and landing and to operate from aircraft carriers such as the Queen Elizabeth of the Royal Navy or the Cavour of the Italian Navy. Also used by the Marine Corps, it is characterized by the adoption of the Pratt & Whitney engine with afterburner and downward-moving exhaust nozzle. The extreme operational flexibility, the offensive load it is capable of carrying, the on-board technology and the strong innovation of the project will make the F-35 Lightning II a sure protagonist of the military aeronautics of the XXI century.
