I do apologize but I can't find where I got the radar from so if you recognize that it is your work, please say something so I can give you the credit you deserve

The LF-35X (Laser armed Fighter 35X) is an advanced variant of the Lighting ll that incorporates the F-35A, F-35B, and F-35C plus adds a forward swept wing into the mix for supermaneuverability. Finally it replaces the internal gun with a laser because.....why not?


This is the pic that inspired me to create the
LF-35X

F-35A - The F-35A is the conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant intended for the USAF and other air forces. It is the smallest, lightest version and capable of 9g, the highest of all variants.

F-35A

F-35B - The F-35B is the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the aircraft. Similar in size to the A variant, the B sacrifices about a third of the A variant's fuel volume to accommodate the SDLF. This variant is limited to 7g. Unlike other variants, the F-35B has no landing hook. The "STOVL/HOOK" control instead engages conversion between normal and vertical flight.The F-35B is capable of Mach 1.6 and can perform vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL).

F-35B

F-35C - The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wingtip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload. The F-35C is limited to 7.5g
