In July of this year the U.S. is scheduled to have its second 5th generation stealth fighter become combat ready: The F-35B.  The world's first operational stealth jet fighter, the F-22, entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 2005.  The F-35B is a variant of the F-35 being used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Two other versions of the jet, The F-35A and the F-35C, will become operational in future years with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, respectively. The F-35B will be the world's first operational supersonic aircraft to be capable of short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL).
