FS2002/FS2004 Lockheed X-35B(F-35).
This is an aircraft that participates in the JSF plan that the United States and Britain jointly develop the attack fighter for the next term.
X-35A(CTOL) of the conventional take-off and landing type, X-35C (CV)of the type of loading onto warship, and X-35C(STOVL) of the short field take-off vertical landing type were developed.
X-35B was developed by repairing X-35A.
X-35B generates the buoyancy by the shaft drive type lift fan at the center of the body in addition to the varying type engine exhaust.
As a result, a steadier hovering and vertical takeoff and landing are enabled.
