De Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is een familie van single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters die de laatste ontwikkeling en tests ondergaan door de Verenigde Staten. Het gevechtsvliegtuig van de vijfde generatie is ontworpen om grondaanvallen en luchtverdedigingsmissies uit te voeren. De F-35 heeft drie hoofdmodellen: de F-35A conventionele start en landing (CTOL) variant, de F-35B korte start en verticale landing (STOVL) variant, en de F-35C carrier-gebaseerde Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. Op 31 juli 2015 werd het eerste squadron na intensieve tests door de Verenigde Staten klaar verklaard voor inzet.

The Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The F-35 is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions, as well as provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The F-35 is the result of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, which aimed to develop a common aircraft platform for the United States Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as several allied nations. The F-35 has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A (CTOL), the short takeoff and vertical landing F-35B (STOVL), and the carrier-based F-35C (CV/CATOBAR). The F-35 is one of the most advanced and expensive military aircraft in history, with a projected total program cost of over $1.7 trillion. The F-35 has faced numerous technical challenges, delays, and cost overruns during its development and testing phases. However, the F-35 has also achieved several milestones and demonstrated its capabilities in various operational scenarios. The F-35 is expected to replace or complement several legacy fighter jets in service with the US and its allies, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the F/A-18 Hornet, the AV-8B Harrier II, and the A-10 Thunderbolt II.
