F-35 Vertical Takeoff Flip

This is amazing footage of an F-35 doing a flip right off a carrier deck. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine, stealth-capable military strike fighter, a multirole aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 has three different models; one is the conventional takeoff and landing variant, the second is short takeoff and vertical-landing variant, and the third is a carrier-based variant. This airplane weighs about 40,000 (not quite fully loaded) so you can imagine what kind of thrust the engine is capable of. The bird needs to be able to be very agile in its support roles, as you will see. Help with funding to develop and produce this plane came from England, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Australia, Norway, and Denmark.
