this model is only artistic representation of the subject matter. i made it for a flight magazine illustration. if you like the model please rate it.

the f-35a is the conventional takeoff and landing ctol variant intended for the u.s. air force and other air forces. it is the smallest, lightest f-35 version and is the only variant equipped with an internal cannon, the gau-22/a. this 25 mm cannon is a development of the gau-12 carried by the usmc's av-8b harrier ii. it is designed for increased effectiveness against ground targets compared to the 20 mm m61 vulcan cannon carried by other usaf fighters.
the f-35a is expected to match the f-16 in maneuverability and instantaneous and sustained high-g performance, and outperform it in stealth, payload, range on internal fuel, avionics, operational effectiveness, supportability, and survivability. it is expected to match an f-16 that is carrying the usual external fuel tank in acceleration performance.it also has an internal laser designator and infrared sensors, equivalent to the sniper xr pod carried by the f-16, but built in to reduce radar cross section.
the a variant is primarily intended to replace the usaf's f-16 fighting falcon. it was also to replace the a-10 thunderbolt ii starting in 2028.
the f-35a can be outfitted with either of the two main air to air refueling types, which was a consideration in the canadian purchase, and a deciding factor in the cost for the japanese purchase.
