Meet The F-35C: The Stealth Fighter Built For U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers

Summary

Maya Carlin writing in 19FortyFive, makes the following points:

• The F35C’s stealth properties are similar to the F-22 Raptor.
• Not since the mid-1960s did the US marines, navy and air force operate the same aircraft.
• Catapult take-off and arrested landings add extra stress on an aircraft.
• Larger flight control surfaces maintain stability at slower approach speeds.
