Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
<...>
Самолет спроектирован с использованием технологий малозаметности и оснащен самым современным БРЭО. Компоновка самолета отдаленно напоминает компоновку Lockheed Martin F-22. F-35 предназначен для замены самолетов F-16, F/A-18 Hornet, A-10 и Harrier II. Основным назначением F-35 является поражение наземных и надводных целей, а ведение воздушных боев считается задачей второстепенной. Все три основные модификации F-35 в значительной степени унифицированы. Первый самолет заказчик получил в 2011 году. Как ожидается, самолет станет массовым и будет принят на вооружение не только в США, но во многих других странах.

As this issue closed for press, maiden flight of the first production Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, AA-1, was imminent. The aircraft has been undergoing final checks at Fort Worth, Texas, and is seen here on the runway at NAS Forth Worth during the first low-speed taxi tests on December 7, 2006, in the hands of F-35 Chief Pilot Jon Beesley. This was the first time that the aircraft had moved under its own power, the F-35 travelling at up to 30kts to test various systems, including brakes and nosewheel steering. Weather permitting, medium-speed taxi tests at 65kts and 85kts will come next, prior to the first flight.

Авиация и Космонавтика 2015-05 / А.Фирсов - "Кречет" рвется в небо
Joint Strike Fighter поднялся в воздух. 15 декабря 2006г.: в Форт-Уорте, Техас, взлетел первый самолет Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) - прототип будущего истребителя для ВВС многих стран НАТО. Первым из истребителей пятого поколения фирмы "Lockheed-Martin" стал самолет F-35A Lightning II (AA-1) - вариант JSF, предназначенный для ВВС США. С первым его полетом началась программа испытаний, названная "самой всесторонней в истории авиации". Самолет-невидимка F-35 предназначался для замены машин F-16, Harrier, A-10 и старых версий F/A-18 Hornet. Летчиком-испытателем в историческом полете был Джон Бисли. Он заявил: "Lightning II летает прекрасно. Это отличное начало программы летных испытаний и заслуга людей, интенсивно работавших, чтобы добиться этого". Оснащенный турбовентиляторным двигателем Pratt & Whitney F135 самолет F-35 поднялся на высоту 4572 м, затем выполнил ряд маневров для проверки управляемости и функционирования силовой установки. Lightning II сопровождали истребители F-16 и F/A-18. К моменту первого полета в программе JSF участвовали КМП, ВВС и ВМФ США, а также ВВС и ВМФ Британии. Все вместе они планируют приобрести 2581 такой самолет. С этой программой сотрудничают Австралия, Канада, Дания, Италия, Нидерланды, Норвегия и Турция. После обычной версии JSF должен появиться вариант F-35B с коротким разбегом и вертикальной посадкой (КВВП), а также палубный вариант F-35C (CV) для ВМФ США.

Despite the lack of potential enemy next generation fighters being developed that could seriously threaten current US fighters, huge sums of money have, and are, being spent on the F-22 and F-35. The author argues that other areas of the USAF's inventory are in more need of upgrade or replacement. -

На F-35 используются последние достижения технологии систем управления, в том числе система рулевых электроприводов, где традиционное гидравлическое управление поверхностями заменено электрическим. Это позволило снизить массу, сэкономить средства и облегчить обслуживание.
Следом за первым опытным F-35A, AA-1,к программе испытаний в период до 2011 года присоединились 13 других F-35 - четыре F-35A (AF-1 - AF-4), пять F-35B (BF-1 - BF-5) и четыре F-35C (CF-1 - CF-4). -

Разработка двигателя P&W F135 для истребителя F-35 осуществлялась на базе двигателя F119, установленного на истребителе F-22 Raptor. Двигатель развивает максимальную форсированную тягу 191,26 кН. Для разных модификаций самолета предусмотрены отдельные модификации двигателя.
By designing three variants of the F-35 Joint strike Fighter Lockheed Martin intends to disprove the old adage 'Jack of all trades, master of none’. Among the aircraft that it will replace are: F-16 and A-10 (F-35A); F/A-18B/C, AV-8B and GR.7/9(F-35B); F/A-18B/C (F-35C). -

Lockheed Martin F-35A Lighting II AF-01 flown by Lt Col George ‘Boxer’ Schwartz, the F-35 Integrated Test Force director, completed the first in-flight missile launch on June 5, 2013. The aircraft fired an instrumented AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) within the Point Mugu Sea Test Range over the Pacific Ocean. This was the first time the aircraft had demonstrated a launch-to-eject communications sequence and ignited the weapon's rocket motor. An AIM-120 was first 'dropped' from the F-35A on October 19, 2012, during a separation trial, but its rocket was not fired. The latest trial was undertaken as part of the aircraft's Block 2B software tests prior to its service introduction later this year. -

An autonomous air-to-air collision avoidance system is being considered for prioritization among potential upgrades to Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters. This would upgrade the F-35's current Manual Ground Collision Avoidance System (MGCAS), which requires pilot recovery action, and provides a capability to recover even when a pilot is incapacitated. This is similar to the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) that is being fitted to Lockheed Martin F-16C and F-16D fighters and is to be fitted to F-35s starting in 2019.

The first F-35A Lightning II for the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF), L-001 (c/n AP-01), is pictured here being lifted out of the Electronic Mate and Alignment Station (EMAS) on Lockheed Martin’s one mile-long production line at Fort Worth, Texas, on September 15, 2020. The Danish MoD released the image on October 19, by which time the aircraft was stood on its undercarriage, with its twin tail fins, radar, engine and other systems all installed. The first of the 27 RDAF aircraft on order will be delivered in early 2021 but will initially remain in the USA for training - it will not be until 2023 that the first Danish F-35 aircraft will land at Skrydstrup Air Base
