JSF-35

= **__JSF / F-35__** = The F-35 Lighting also known as the JSF( Joint Strike Fight), is a first 5th generation multi-role fighter jet. What makes this different from the other fighter jets in the worlds military aerospace division, is that the JSF-35 is the first jet to be created within multiple countries and organization. Making the JSF-35, more high tech and highest invested project ever to be done. Once upon the completion and sales of the JSF-35 amongst those who participated within the production for of the JSF-35 will also create and alliance for a unification amongst those nation.

**__History__** Planning of the JSF as it is today began in the late 80's, when the AV-8 Harrier were already being and shipped to service. The goal and service of this idea was to implement a multi- platform for both offensive and defensive, while giving the pilot opportunity to also be have short take of and vertical landing (STOVL) capabilities and more for the different style of fighting in the branches. Over time, government gave the opportunity to both boeing and Lockheed, it was not till 1994where Lockheed the took their idea to the Paris Air show to share their idea and incorporate other high tech businesses to create a Joint Advance Strike Fighter (JAST). Where later in 1996 Lockheed's JAST-35 beat the the Boeing X-32 design in the government decision making process, where it changed its name finally to the Joint Strike Fighter after the $4 billion dollar investment from the other countries.



= __F-35 United States Intentions__ = JSF-35 has three variants, each which will be used within the United State Military for different purposes. Alpha series is meant for a convention landing gear, capable for only land bases, which will be going to the Air Force. Bravo series will be sent to the Marines for its (STOVL). Charlie Series will be sent to the Navy, giving it a carrier landing gear convention. Each of them differ in their individual style due to their required needs, but each once air borne all the series will be the same.



= __JSF-35 Technology__ = Inside of the JSF-35 hold some of the most sophisticated technology known to man, making it basically a simple flight or fight aircraft. It makes the pilot less prone to to the stressors of flying an aircraft and worrisome of their environment they would or could be located in. Few of the beneficial technological advancement to be implemented would have to be the Autonomic Logistics (AL) which is a way to keep the pilot informed of any possible damages and mechanical maintenance needs. Another would be how common they are in material and avionics, reducing the amount of required needs, saving millions in tax dollars. The Distributed Aperture System also known as (DAS) which has sensors to aid the pilots situational awareness of any possible threats. For Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) this system will give pilots and extended vision and firing range, reducing the risk of any closer encounters required by the present day missile technology. While flying the JSF-35 pilot will instead of wearing the regular hemet, will wear a state of the art Helmet Mounted Display (HMD), which will give pilots night and clear day vision for fighting. In the mean time, with the internal payload of weapons the airframe will also give the aircraft the required stealth capability it will require. The is more to be shown displayed which you can find on the F-35 links page.



**__Future of the F-35__** The goal for the JSF-35 is to be sold by Lockheed Martin, whose home base and manufacture is located in southern California. For the Military and the allied nations involved, they have already to place orders on all 3 variants, which are begging the process of integrating within the military training process before being sent out on any military missions. The plan for the F-35 is to replace the military aviation aircraft such as the F-16, A-10, F-18E/F, AV-8. Which over time as more F-35 come in the process of retiring those aircraft will begin. For the F-35 with the maintenance and mechanical survivability, it should last as long as the B-52 bombers career or more as many hope to say.



__Investors__ The people incorporated in the production of the JSF-35 is the United State of America, United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands,Turkey, Canada, Australia, Denmark, & Norway; who altogether cumulated a $40.5 billion investment into creating the F-35. Companies that were involved in the production of the JSF-35 were General Electric and Rolls-Royce, for Alpha and Charlie variant and Pratt & Whitney, for the Bravo variant. Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems aided with the avionic system within the cockpit. For it was not for their money or their hard work, there would have been no JSF-35.
