INITIAL F-35C FLYING FOCUSES ON HANDLING QUALITIES

摘要

Looking to initial at-sea trials in 2011, Lockheed Martin is assessing the handling qualities of the Joint Strike Fighter carrier variant following the June 6 first flight of the F-35C.rnThe third and final variant in the JSF development program, the F-35C has a bigger wing and more powerful flight controls to reduce takeoff and landing speeds for carrier operations. It is also the heaviest of the variants.
