Costing nearly a trillion dollars to research, develop, and sustain, the F-35 Lightning II is one of the most modern and versatile series of fighter jets ever manufactured. The single-seat, single-engine stealth aircraft was designed to perform multiple functions, including ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, and air defense missions. Ultimately, the Lightning II — which entered service in 2015 — is considered one of the most advanced aircraft in the world, eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. The "A" variant is conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant.
