==Summary==
The F-35 Lightning II is family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multi-role fighters developed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin for the Joint Strike Fighter program. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground-attack and air-superiority missions.
It has three main models: the F-35A conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR) variant.
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter program, in which it competed with the Boeing X-32. The F-35 first flew on the 15th of December 2006. With a service life of up to 2070, factoring in production and maintenance cost, it is the most expensive military project in history.
