    There are three versions of the F-35: an aircraft carrier version (CV) that can take off from an aircraft carrier of the Navy; the other is a conventional version (CTOL) designed for the Air Force that can take off and land on land airfields; The third is designed for the Marine Corps and is designed for rapid vertical take-off in hot spots Short Landing Type (STOVL). All three aircraft use the same engine, the same navigation equipment, and all parts are 60 to 80% the same.

    Only the third can take off vertically and land short. First batch: F 35a, 100 million knives per aircraft Second batch:

    F 35A, 100 million dollars each. F 35B, 100 million dollars per aircraft Third batch: F 35A, 100 million dollars per aircraft.

    F 35B, 100 million dollars per aircraft Fourth batch: F 35A, 100 million dollars per aircraft. F 35b, 100 million dollars each.

    F 35C 100 million knives per frame. Neither includes the engine. The target for high-volume production** is 60 million for the F 35a.

    A C can't take off and land vertically, only Type B can F-35A, $100 million F-35B, $100 million F-35C, $100 million However, based on past experience, the actual final service ** is definitely higher than this.

    In the F35, only Type B can take off and land vertically, because Type B is designed for the Marine Corps to take off and land vertically on amphibious assault ships, so only Type B can take off and land vertically among the three models. At present, the unit price of type A is 100 million US dollars, type B is 100 million US dollars, and type C is 100 million US dollars.

    The F-35B is equipped with a lift engine, so it can take off and land vertically!!

    The F-35A is a roadbed model that does not require vertical take-off and landing, and is used to replace the F-16.

    The F-35C is a carrier-based aircraft version that catapults off from an American aircraft carrier, so there is no need for short vertical take-off and landing either.

    Because the design requires vertical take-off and landing.

    First of all, it must be understood that the F-35B fighter is designed to take off and fall vertically, because it has to carry a considerable quality of equipment when taking off, so it is unlikely to rely on the engine to fly vertically from the ground, unless it only carries 4 air-to-air missiles, and it is very fuel-intensive, and the combat radius suffers a lot of losses, and the gains outweigh the losses, unless the situation is extremely special, it will not be done. And then, come back to your question. Can the F-35 really hover in the air?

    Answer: Yes, it does, because it has a fan that is specially designed to fan the air downward, which is equivalent to the flight posture when the rotor is in a horizontal state, so it can hover in mid-air, but at this time, it is generally at the time of landing, in order to illuminate the landing site, don't think that it can hover like ***, unless the pilot is crazy. Then it can also take off and land vertically like a Harrier?

    Answer: As I said earlier, the F-35B's mode of starvation combat is to take off and land vertically over short distances, and the US military has not expected a light fighter to take off vertically with a full load of ammunition and fuel.

According to the standards of the fourth-generation Western standard 4S, that is, supersonic cruise, over-the-horizon attack, super-maneuverability and stealth performance! The United States claims that the F35 is the fourth generation, but in fact it does not have supersonic cruise capability! Strictly the fourth generation!

The F-35 is a single-engine fighter and is inferior to the F-22 in supersonic cruisingSo it can only be commanded. But its killer is no less tight-lipped than the F-22, and VTOL can be deployed anywhere, such as islands without airfields, jungles and ships, and can surprise any unprepared aircraft flying through it. >>>More

There are many differences between the F-22 and the F-35, there are differences in performance and appearance, and in general the F-35 is a simplified version of the F-22. It is easy to distinguish in appearance, the aerodynamic layout of the first half of the two types is similar, mainly the F-22 is a twin-engine, that is, two engines, while the F-35 is a single engine, the F-22 horizontal tail does not exceed the engine, and the F-35 horizontal tail grows a large section behind the engine. In terms of performance, the F-22 is an air superiority fighter with almost no ground attack capability, or very weak, while the F-35 main support force rushes to land on the beach, has a strong ground attack capability, and the air combat capability is not as good as the F-22, and the F-35 is light in weight and can take off and land vertically for short distances, while the F-22 cannot. >>>More

It is a single-seat, single-engine multi-role fighter designed and produced by Lockheed Martin in the United States, and it is also a low-level auxiliary aircraft of the F-22, mainly used for close support, target bombing, air defense interception and other tasks. So far, the F-35 has three models, the F-35A with traditional runway take-off and landing, the F-35B with short take-off and landing vertical take-off and landing, and the F-35C as an aircraft carrier. The F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter with a stealth design, a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, no supersonic cruise capability (the afterburner needs to be turned on to achieve supersonic speed), and no vector thrust on the engine.

The F-35 "Lightning" (English: F-35 Lightning II) Joint Strike Fighter is a single-seat single-engine combat attack aircraft designed and produced by Lockheed Martin in the United States, the F-35 is mainly used for front-line support, target bombing, air defense interception and other missions, and has therefore developed three main derivative versions, including the F-35A using traditional runway take-off and landing, the short-distance take-off and landing F-35B vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and the F-35C as an aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft. >>>More
