The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, supersonic stealth strike fighters. A multirole combat aircraft designed for air superiority and strike missions, it also has electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor, with partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A, the short take-off and vertical-landing F-35B, and the carrier variant catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery F-35C. With 883 aircraft in service as of 2025, it is the world's fourth-most-numerous military aircraft, and most-numerous stealth aircraft.
The F-35 Lightning II is a modern American fighter jet made by Lockheed Martin that can perform multiple roles, including air combat, bombing strikes, and gathering intelligence, while using stealth technology to avoid detection. With nearly 900 aircraft already in use worldwide as of 2025, it has become one of the most widely deployed military planes in the world and represents a major shift toward stealth capabilities in modern air forces.
