For the first time at events of this kind, the newest American stealth fighter demonstrated his flying capabilities in full. Earlier, the capabilities of the fifth generation aircraft were not shown publicly and the participation of F-35 fighters was limited to acquaintance flights along the spectator stands. Test pilot Lockheed Martin Billie Flynn in an interview with Aviation Week said that "for the first time after 10 years from the date of the first flight of the aircraft, we will show the capabilities and maneuverability of the F-35, which will crush the years of disinformation." The maneuverability of such stealth planes as the F-22 and F-35 is more impressive, since they perform or can perform high-energy maneuvers "fully combat-ready", that is, with armament in the inner compartments. Fighter aircraft of the fourth generation show aerobatics figures without external suspensions, that is completely unarmed. The presence of missiles in the inner compartments of a stealth aircraft does not affect maneuverability and energy. On June 13, two F-35A fighters arrived at Le Bourget from the Hill air base (Utah, USA). One plane will fly, the other will be on static exposure. It also became known that the Lockheed Martin company is at the final stage of negotiations for the sale of fifth-generation F-35 fighters to eleven countries, including the United States, Reuters reports citing anonymous sources. The transaction amount will be a record for this type of aircraft and will amount to more than $ 37 billion. A multi-year agreement for the supply of aircraft is scheduled for 2018-2020, the payment will be made in three tranches, the article says. The price of one aircraft will average $ 85 million, while by 2020 the price will decrease.
