BAE Systems: F-35 flight trials complete

F-35 is the world's largest defence programme. Led by the US, with participation from the UK, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Turkey, it is a truly collaborative programme aimed at delivering a stealthy, multi-role attack aircraft capable of operating from land and sea to nations across the globe.

Superb news. It really is great to see everything progressing at a pace now. Carrier trials all going according to plan, first helicopters embarked and soon we'll have our first F-35Bs delivered to the UK.
Fingers crossed the first RAF F35 will embark upon the QE Class by the end of this year or early in the 1Q 2019.
Really good work by the teams involved.

F 35 is greatest product in decade and have heigh technologi. I and my friend mechanic BAE can make dream to be came true. we remembered when take job in Merpati Airport Cengkareng Indonesia told abt Aircraft find difficult to landing in condition run way damed due to war and landing in short run way include landing at air carrier navy sea so have to way in order easy to landing and I have plan airframe with engine on under body and one engine behinde body to trust with engine like challenger shuttlespace so verry fast and my friend said the have problem to stop and I said pse add flap behind cockpit and pressure turbin that result speed brake and too can landing vertical in fact use multi engine on nail is good. if engine on under center body triple engine maybe can to lift and airframe planning with passenger, cargo.flight evacuation save in insident like eartgueck, flood. it can do because acft can landing all place with vertical landing. Thks I proud you and bless you. all my friends BAE.

F35b is a massive disappointment. The ferry range is a big let down. I really wish the QE’s had CATOBAR then I would have been happy with the C variant. That would have also opened up possibility of other aircrafts such as the f18 or carrier enabled typhoon.

Lo que no me gusta del F-35B es esa tapa de cubo de basura.

Get it on the carrier already. Its been embarrassing enough.

Just focus on the Eurofighter Typhoon and kill off the F-35z
