[quote][i][b]F-35 Lightning II Flight Tests[/b] The F-35 Lightning II took to the air for the first time on 15 December 2006 with chief test pilot Jon Beesley at the controls. During this maiden flight, Beesley performed a military power takeoff and executed a series of maneuvers to evaluate the handling qualities of the aircraft. The airplane flew to 15,000 feet and a maximum speed of 225 knots. The F-35 test program has since expanded the flight envelope of this first Lightning II and will continue to expand the envelope in the coming months. More importantly, this first aircraft is being used to evaluate the performance of highly sophisticated subsystems that form a baseline for subsequent F-35s.[/i][/quote] La suite : http://www.codeonemagazine.com/archives/2007/articles/apr_07/flighttest/index.html [quote][i][b]Lightning Strike 2020 F-35 For Close Air Support[/b] The execute order is given. The two orbiting pilots fly across the border and point their F-35A Lightning IIs toward a high-value target in enemy territory. Because of the objective’s urban location, minimizing both collateral damage and noncombatant casualties is a priority.[/i][/quote] La suite : http://www.codeonemagazine.com/archives/2007/articles/apr_07/lightningstrike/index.html[/quote]
