The £70m F-35 Lightning II is the most sophisticated and expensive jet fighter ever produced

F-35 Lightning II is single-seat, single-engine, fixed-wing craft, made by Lockheed Martin.

Its stealth design with no right angles enables the fighter to evade detection by radar.

With its Pratt & Whitney engine the jet can achieve a speed 1.6 faster than the speed of sound.

The planes on-board computers are networked with nearby ships and planes to create an all-seeing ‘combat cloud’, while airspeed, altitude, targeting information and warnings are all projected onto the helmet’s visor.

Helmet also displays images from six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft.

Cockpit has glass touch-screen panel which also uses voice recognition.

Rotating nozzle at rear allows exhaust to be aimed downwards for vertical flight

This means the it can take off from a very short distance or even vertically.
