F-35B cutaway with lift fan F-35B conducting a vertical landing (note the rotated nozzle and the lift fan vent duct) The F-35B is the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the aircraft. Similar in size to the A variant, the B sacrifices about a third of the A variant's fuel volume to accommodate the shaft-driven lift fan (SDLF).
Three variants were designed: the F-35A (conventional take off and landing, CTOL), the F-35B (short-take off and vertical-landing, STOVL), and the F-35C (carrier-based catapult assisted take-off (CATOBAR), CV). Despite being intended to share most of their parts to reduce costs and improve maintenance logistics, by 2017 the design commonality ...
Two F-35B Lightning II aircraft landing onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth in 2018. Shipborne rolling vertical landing (SRVL) is a method used to land a V/STOL aircraft that uses both the vertical thrust from the jet engine and lift from the wings. A V/STOL aircraft normally either lands vertically or it makes a conventional runway landing.
Japan's destroyer-turned-aircraft carrier recently concluded sea trials off California that put Lockheed's F-35B to the test. ... power is the short take-off and landing version of the F-35 ...
By the time testing had been completed in August, the aircraft had achieved 17 vertical takeoffs, 14 short takeoffs, 27 vertical landings and five supersonic flights. [4] During the final qualifying Joint Strike Fighter flight trials, the X-35B took off in less than 500 feet (150 m), transitioned to supersonic flight, then landed vertically. [26]
An RAF F-35B Lightning II demonstrating a vertical landing. Some VTOL aircraft can operate in other modes as well, such as CTOL (conventional take-off & landing), STOL (short take-off & landing), or STOVL (short take-off & vertical landing).
Photos show a US F-35B operating on Japan's newly converted destroyer-turned-aircraft carrier off the Californian coast.
The F-35 family includes three single-seat variants, including the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing jet, the F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing variant and the F-35C carrier.
