[Realizing an innovative 5th generation jet fighter with meticulous precision] The evolution of jet fighters, which began to enter combat at the end of World War II, has now progressed to the 5th generation. The 4th generation F-16 and F/A-18 are equipped with afterburner turbofan engines with excellent thrust, achieving high maneuverability. In addition to these fourth-generation capabilities, fifth-generation jet fighters are characterized by high stealth, network operation capabilities, and situational identification capabilities through sensor fusion, with the F-35 Lightning II being the most prominent. is. Based on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, the F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) type for the Air Force, the F-35B is a short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) type for the Marine Corps, and the carrier-based (CV) type is for the Navy. Three derivatives of the F-35C were developed at the same time.The F-35 is capable of carrying armaments such as bombs and air-to-air missiles in its in-fuselage arsenal, making it possible to carry a wide variety of weapons without sacrificing stealth or flight performance. You can complete your mission. In addition, information obtained from various sensors on each part of the aircraft is automatically integrated and shared with other fighters and ships via data links. By combining these and displaying them on a large display in the cockpit or on the visor of a helmet, we support the pilot's situational judgment. The F-35 successfully made its first flight in December 2006, and the United States Air Force, Italian Air Force, and Japan's Air Self-Defense Force have already decided to adopt the F-35A. As the importance of national and territorial defense increases, the number of orders will continue to increase, and there is no doubt that the aircraft will continue to be the cornerstone of the world's air force.
