F-35 Joint Strike Fighter History:

The F-35 is designed for conventional takeoffs and landings. It closely resembles the F-22 Raptor. In fact, the two aircraft will fly complimentary missions: the F-22s establish and maintain air superiority while the F-35s attack the enemy on the ground.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, or popularly called as "JSF" is a multi-role warplane designed by the United States and the United Kingdom. The F-35 is intended to replace the current generation of strike fighters, particularly the vertical take off and landing Harrier jump jets: the AV-8 Harrier II (US), Harrier GR7/9 (UK), and the Sea Harrier (UK), along with the conventional A-10 Thunderbolt II, F/A-18 Hornet and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It will be a strike fighter (a plane with a strong emphasis on close air support and tactical bombing as well as being capable of air-to-air combat), and will use stealth technology. It is currently in production with Lockheed Martin, along with partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. Three variants are planned: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A for the U.S. Air Force (USAF); the Short Take-Off Vertical Landing (STOVL) F-35B for the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Navy (RN); and the carrier-based (CV) F-35C for the U.S. Navy (USN). The joint development program is aimed at controlling development and production costs; the three variants have over 80% of their parts in common.

"The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) will be a giant leap over existing attack/fighter capabilities."
- Gen. Richard Myers, USAF Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

The Joint Strike Fighter is a multi-service/international cooperation warplane. The cornerstone of the program is affordability based on a next-generation, multi-role strike fighter aircraft that will have a 70 to 90 percent commonality factor for all the variants, significantly reducing manufacturing, support and training costs. First delivery of operational aircraft is anticipated in fiscal 2008. After two years, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is expected to be ready for service. The aircraft is scheduled to begin replacing USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II's and F-16's in 2011, and Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers and F/A-18s in 2012.
