The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat,
single-engine, fifth generation multirole fighters under development to perform
ground attack, reconnaissance, and air defense missions with stealth

takeoff and landing variant, the F-35B is a short take off and vertical-landing
variant, and the F-35C is a carrier-based variant.
