	F-35 Lightning II Program
		The F-35 Lightning II Program (also known as the Joint Strike Fighter Program) is the Department of Defense's focal point for defining affordable next generation strike aircraft weapon systems for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies.
		The F-35 is the next generation strike fighter bringing cutting-edge technologies to the battlespace of the future.
		Lockheed Martin, along with artists representing the nine F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter countries, unveiled nine original works of art at the Paris Air Show today depicting the F-35 Lightning II aircraft in settings around the globe.

	Strike fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term ‘strike fighter’ is almost synonymous with the term ‘fighter-bomber’, first seeing usage in the 1950s to describe a new generation of attack aircraft like the Blackburn Firebrand.
		The Panavia Tornado, for example, was originally known as a fighter-bomber, and later became a strike fighter.
		The latest generation of strike fighters are the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and Eurofighter Typhoon, though current European parlance describes the Typhoon as a 'swing-role' aircraft.

	F-35 Lightning II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joint Strike Fighter critics say that like the aircraft it is replacing, it has insufficient range to replace dedicated bombers; and as primarily a strike platform, its inability to supercruise limits it as an air defense platform, and as a new aircraft, that it is almost certain to suffer cost overruns and lengthy development delays.
		The money-saving vision of the most advanced and versatile fighter in history was marred by the total failure of the Naval F-111B while the Air Force version was limited to the narrow all-weather strike role.
		Navy fighter planes tend to be heavier and more expensive compared to land-based fighter planes, as is the case for the Hornet vs. the F-16, but there would be cost savings in building only one CTOL version.

	Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Analysis 2002
		If the Joint Strike Fighter were to be too snappy a performer in the air superiority game, the F-22 would have been promptly axed thereby shifting USD 20B or more of production costs back by at least a decade much to the delight of vote buyers in the US Congress.
		Fighter combat radius and endurance over the target are not issues when the geographical environment puts the two largest military forces on the planet head-to-head across a single frontier.
		Given that the maritime users of the Joint Strike Fighter do not have an F-22 equivalent to gain the high ground in an air battle, it is not inconceivable that we might see downstream disagreements in the Joint Strike Fighter program as these players try to fill this crucial gap in their basic capabilities.

	F-35 Joint Strike Fighter - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is a joint venture between the UK and USA to replace the current generation of strike fighters, particularly the Hawker Harrier and the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
		It is to be a multirole strike fighter (a plane with a strong emphasis on close air support and tactical bombing as well as air-to-air combat) currently in early development by Lockheed Martin with partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.
		The JSF is a multi-role attack and fighter aircraft designed to replace the aging F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-111 Aardvark, Sea Harrier, Harrier GR7/GR9, and AV-8B Harrier jets.

	TW-F-35 Techno-Wizard Joint Strike Fighter
		The enemy fighters had accelerated up to mach 1.8, about the maximum of the old fighters, and the Sea Striker pilots knew that it was simply a matter of time until something happened.
		The fighter could not be effectively be rearmored but due to the elimination of most of the fuel tankage, the fighter could be reinforced internally so it could withstand greater damage.
		Even though the modifications to the fighter are both austere and mostly technological in origin, this does not mean the fighter's enchantments are not effective or important.

	The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
		The USAF was also considering a next-generation strike aircraft and a replacement for the F-16, with the designation of "Multi-Role Fighter (MRF)".
		Muellner wanted to build a "universal fighter" that would fulfill the needs of all the participants, and was able to get everyone pulling in more or less the same direction.
		Boeing, which had not developed an operational fighter since the P-26 Peashooter of the 1930s, chose an unusual (unkindly described by some as "butt-ugly") design with smooth stealthy contours, a delta wing, a vee tail, and a scoop jet intake under the nose.

	ONE SIZE FITS ALL: Joint Strike Fighter
		The Air Force needed an aircraft to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F-16 Falcon in the role of ground attack operations, as well as complement the advanced capabilities of the F-22 air superiority fighter.
		As a multi-role strike fighter, the JSF's primary function will be precision air-to-ground missions in theaters where air superiority has been established.
		The fighter's primary radar will be the (AESA) AN/APG-81 radar, which represents a major improvement over current radars in that its beam is steered electronically, eliminating the need for a mechanically articulated antenna.

		Also, “while there is no guaranteed work share on the Joint Strike Fighter, work will go to a partner country before a non-partner country, unless the ‘widget’ is only produced by the non-partner country,” she said.
		The Joint Strike Fighter provides for Australia, “the chance to jump into a fifth generation aircraft,” said Air Commodore John Harvey, director-general of new air combat capability for the Australian Department of Defence.

		One of the most striking components of the Joint Strike Fighter is its ability to stop and hover in mid air for vertical landings.
		Unlike the Joint Strike Fighter, which uses one basic airframe to build three somewhat different aircraft, the Eurofighter Typhoon is a standard plane with interchangeable weapons systems that can be tailored for use over water, land and in air combat.
		The Joint Strike Fighter is primarily an air-to-ground attack craft, whereas the Eurofighter functions both against ground and air targets, Sweetman added.

	F/A-18 Precision Strike Fighter for PC Review - PC F/A-18 Precision Strike Fighter Review
		Precision Strike Fighter is a nostalgic throwback to the days of polygonal simplicity, when sims ran fast and the terrain cut the sky in clear lines.
		Precision Strike Fighter also does a good job of modeling the various types of weapons available for the Hornet, including a tactical nuclear warhead that goes off with a polygonal whimper.
		Considering the flight model and avionics, Precision Strike Fighter is a perfect example of a midlevel sim that treats its audience and its subject matter with respect.
