Model Airplane: F-35B Joint Strike Fighter aircraft
Branch: United States Marine Corps (USMC)

Model Airplane Factory, makers of hand made model aircraft, presents to you our JSF F35B STOVL USMC Model Airplane. The F-35B Joint Strike Fighter display model airplane is meticulously molded and painted to reflect the true detail of the original USMC F-35B JSF aircraft. Muliple coats of clear lacquer is applied in F35B Joint Strike Fighter model airplane to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. The Marines F-35B JSF model plane is supplied with a base for display.

The F-35B is the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant aircraft. The F-35B is similar in size to the Air Force F-35A, trading fuel volume for vertical flight systems. Like the AV-8 Harrier II, guns will be carried in a ventral pod. Vertical flight is by far the riskiest, and in the end, a decisive factor in design.

Instead of lift engines, or rotating nozzles on the engine fan and exhaust like the Pegasus-powered Harrier, the F-35B uses a vectoring cruise nozzle in the tail, i.e. the rear exhaust turns to deflect thrust down, and an innovative shaft-driven Lift Fan, patented by Lockheed Martin and developed by Rolls-Royce. Somewhat like a turboprop built within the fuselage, engine shaft power is diverted forward via a clutch-and-bevel gearbox to a vertically mounted, contra-rotating lift fan located forward of the main engine in the center of the aircraft. Bypass air from the cruise engine turbofan exhausts through a pair of roll-post nozzles in the wings on either side of the fuselage, while the lift fan balances the vectoring cruise nozzle at the tail. This system is more similar to the Russian Yak-141 and German VJ 101D/E than previous STOVL designs, such as the Harrier with thrust vectoring.
