U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II aircraft fly air-to-air in close formation during a USAFE Days 2023 event. The image highlights the stealth fighter’s aerodynamic profile and visible vapor trails created at high altitude. Designed by Lockheed Martin, the F-35A uses a single Pratt & Whitney F135 afterburning turbofan engine and incorporates sensor fusion, low observability, and internal weapons carriage for multirole operations.
