Supersonic Speed & Extended Range
The Pratt & Whitney F135 is the most powerful fighter engine in the world. With a top speed of Mach 1.6, the F-35 is a long range, supersonic fighter, even with a full complement of internal weapons and fuel.
The F-35 has the most advanced sensor suite of any fighter in history, including the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, Distributed Aperture System (DAS), Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS) and advanced electronic warfare capabilities to locate/track enemy forces, jam radars and disrupt attacks.
Weapons Capability
All variants of the F-35 will have the potential to carry JASSM or LRASM, providing increased reach, lethality and survivability against heavily-protected, strategic targets and increasing the ability to deter near-peer adversaries.
Low Observable Stealth
The F-35’s aligned edges, reduced engine
signature, internal carriage of weapons and fuel and embedded sensors all contribute to its unique stealth performance. With stealth designed in from day one, the F-35 has an unmatched ability to evade enemy detection and enter contested airspace.

Sensor Suite
Sensor Fusion
The F-35's advanced sensor fusion enables pilots to draw on information from all of their on-board sensors to create a single integrated picture of the battlefield that greatly enhances awareness and survivability.
Pilot Interface
The F-35 Helmet is one of the most advanced pieces of technology on the planet. The information a pilot needs to complete any mission – airspeed, heading, altitude, targeting information and warnings — is projected on the helmet’s visor, rather than on a traditional Heads-up Display. This approach greatly reduces the pilot’s workload and increases responsiveness.
Network Enabled Ops
The F-35 serves as an information and communications gateway, sharing its operational picture with the ground, sea and air assets.
