F-35C Lightning II (First Flight)

Lockheed Martin · USA

The C-model is the largest F-35 variant, with foldable wingtips and a much larger wing area to allow for the low-speed approaches required for carrier landings. Its increased internal fuel capacity gives it the longest range of the three variants.
