Over two decades in the making, the F-35 Lightning took its first flight for the US Marine Corp in July 2015, development started after the initial prototype design in 1995, the X-35A was the selected prototype designed by Lockheed Martin and created three variations of the same jet. The F-35A variant is lightest of the three and its main use is for conducting aerial refueling. As the military saw a need for aircrafts that required less space for takeoff, such as taking flight from aircraft carriers specifically designed for the F-35, one of the most updated technology includes STOVL (Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing) installed on the newly updated F-35B supersonic stealth multirole fighter. The F-35C is equipped with larger foldable wingtip sections and catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR), which assists aircrafts with taking off and landing on to aircraft carriers, probably the most stable controls of all three of the variants. Featuring the most impressive avionics and radar, the design also provides camouflage from enemy radar through radio frequency emitters that minimizes detection. Keeping incognito during the missions that may be assigned to these single-seat single engined Lightnings can provide electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and are expected to stay in service for the military as well as NATO operations through 2070.
