The Plane Behind the Toy
The F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter jet. It has a planned service life in the U.S. Armed Forces for some 66 years, until 2070.
Did you know? In addition to the United States Armed Forces, 13 other nations’ militaries also fly the F-35 Lightning II.
In total 9 nations from across the globe had a direct hand in the F-35’s development. Besides the United States, these nations are Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Australia.
Since the different service branches each had different requirements for the new plane, three versions of the F-35 were developed. For the U.S. Air Force, the F-35A replaces the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the A-10 Thunderbolt II. While the F-35C replaces the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet for the U.S. Navy, for the U.S. Marine Corps, the F-35B will replace the AV-8B Harrier II.
