The F-35C is the Navy variant of the Joint Strike Fighter and recently concluded the first round of catapult testing. Future testing will include launches at varying weights, stores and with increased mission system functionality. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River before delivery to the fleet.
