BAE Systems test pilot Peter Wilson flies F-35B from land based ski jump ramp for the first time. It is designed for vertical landing but not take-off.
The F-35 Lightning II – also known as the Joint Strike Fighter or JSF– is a multirole aircraft project conceived and developed by the Pentagon since 1996 by manufacturer Lockheed Martin, with the principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.
Below is a video taken early in June of the aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier flight deck during Marine Corps tests.
