The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime F-35 contractor, with principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A (CTOL), the short take-off and vertical-landing F-35B (STOVL), and the carrier-based F-35C (CV/CATOBAR).
The aircraft descends from the Lockheed Martin X-35, which in 2001 beat the Boeing X-32 to win the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. Its development is principally funded by the United States, with additional funding from program partner countries from NATO and close U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and formerly Turkey. Several other countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the aircraft. The program has drawn much scrutiny and criticism for its unprecedented size, complexity, ballooning costs, and much-delayed deliveries. The acquisition strategy of concurrent production of the aircraft while it was still in development and testing led to expensive design changes and retrofits.
The F-35B entered service with the U.S. Marine Corps in July 2015, followed by the U.S. Air Force F-35A in August 2016 and the U.S. Navy F-35C in February 2019. The F-35 was first used in combat in 2018 by the Israeli Air Force. The U.S. plans to buy 2,456 F-35s through 2044, which will represent the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps for several decades. The aircraft is projected to operate until 2070.
Aircraft Type: F-35A=Conventional Takeoff or Landing (CTOL)
Control :
AG1=open Missile bay
The rest is normal flight control
Feature & Old Thumbnail :
I fix the flight control, its should be more realistic now
Have fun
Note:
If you ask "why there is no VTOL?" Please read the description again , remember this is A type not B type

@Cookiewinner9 sure
Hello, i know this is an old build but could i use it as a base for my remake of the F-35, im currently struggling to build a fuselage for it
@Adelweis ambil aja
Halo bang, saya boleh pakai pesawatnya untuk video gak bang?
Nama Abang bakal saya kredit in
@OrderlyHippo Maybe :D
Rework this so it can actually fly? @Reworkable
Where did the canopy glass go?
I want link please🙈.....
@BlackzeroTod no
Hmmm, can you make VTOL version plise?
This thing is overpowered! I like the Auto-Lock missile feature. But only it sucks when landing
Oh cool presentation !!!
@Homemade1 or you can make me a whole helicopter fuselage with internal bays(the pylons will be fixed forward) and cockpit interior then I will do the rest of the job I will featured you in once I've finished if you didn't mind...
After some testing I have to say this feels like it was rushed too much. It's construction is quite rough but I imagine that's from inexperience with building stealth fighters. It doesn't stand out as much in the screenshots but I noticed instantly once I downloaded it.
Unrealistic specifications aside, it doesn't fly too badly, although it feels a bit sluggish compared to the real aircraft. I think the main areas to work on are improving your panelling and using realistic values for the aircraft mass, wing loading, etc.
I miss Su-35 a lot.
nice
@Droidy247 sure....after i learn how to make a heli
A semi-simple aircraft w/magnificent detail can I expect for a stealth helicopter? Hope it is;)
Epic build, This is amazing. Keep it up
Thx @ACEPILOT109
neat! I like this
@ChrisPy yeah, F-35 is still new anyway
Btw don’t trash the F-35 after it gets the bugs worked out it’ll turn out great. Most new planes go through growing pains. For example, the F-16 had a hard time at the beginning of its operation, that’s why they had all those upgrades. But now it’s one of the most formidable fighters. Give the F-35 time to grow.@Homemade1
Nice job making it maneuver more realistically but acceleration is what you need to work on as it is way too fast. On most airplanes it actually takes a couple minutes to get to its maximum speed. I feel like you could have actually made the maneuvering more loose on this. Overall, I like this plane much better than the other ones. Nice job on the construction btw. Nice paneling!
@Homemade1 I mean, the F-35 is good, dont get me wrong it could be better, but give it time and it will be better, plus i know its maneuvering capabilities, the F-35 demo team is stationed at hill afb and they practice often so, yeah
