LOCKHEED MARTIN F-35B LIGHTNING II ( STOVL VERSION ) 1/72 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was a developmental project to
create a new 5th generation all-weather multirole combat aircraft to
replace the existing American and NATO strike-fighter force. The
aerospace industry team led by aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Martin,
created the single-seat, single-engine F-35 Lightning II. This fighter
employs stealth technology and is characterized by its trapezoidal wings
and application of the most advanced hi-tech systems, materials and
avionics. Designed to attain air superiority, provide close air support
and undertake ground attack missions, it has been developed in differing
configurations for its varying roles. The F-35B with its STOVL (Short
Take Off and Vertical Landing) capability has been specifically designed
to operate from modern aircraft carriers such as the British H.M.S.
Queen Elizabeth or the Cavour, the flagship of the Italian Navy. The U.S
Marines Corps plan to deploy the F-35B in both attack and ground
support roles. The STOVL version is powered by the Pratt & Whitney
afterburning turbofan and its swivel nozzle, which directs the thrust of
the engine. Due in part to its operational flexibility, its advanced
on-board technology, innovative design and performance features, the
F-35 Lightning II is already a landmark aircraft in the world of 21st
century military aviation.
