    An F-35B Lightning II short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variant fighter jet piloted by a test pilot performs a STO launch from a ski jump aboard U.K. aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales Oct. 24, 2023. The 5th generation strike aircraft for Navy, Air Force, Marines, and allies is aboard to conduct developmental test phase 3 (DT-3) flight trials during the ship's deployment to the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for WESTLANT 2023. A Pax River F-35 Integrated Test Force (Pax ITF) team is working closely with the ship's company to conduct the sea trials that continue pushing the boundaries of carrier aviation.
