Designed to combine several different tactical missions into one advanced aircraft, the Joint Strike Fighter will fly as an attack fighter for the U.S. Air Force, a carrier-based attack jet for the U.S. Navy, and a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) attack aircraft for the U.S. Marine Corps. Replacing aircraft like the A-10 and AV-8B Harrier, the newly-named F-35 Lightning II will also be flown by U.S. allies such as Great Britain and Australia. In 2001, Lockheed Martin's X-35 won a fly-off competition beating Boeing's X-32 JSF demonstrator and both of these aircraft are represented in this historic lithograph signed by all 13 JSF test pilots assigned to the evaluation program.
