Definitely you know more than me about it, but I can translate the article if you want!
F-35 video+article (in Italian)

And how to stay suspended in the air. It flies a thousand miles an hour in a transparent bubble. Why this aircraft makes obsolete fiction. The JSF fighter is the object most technologically advanced in the world: each component is a leap into the future. The first shock have pilots. The JSF stands for Joint strike fighter has nothing in common with the existing aircraft. All information is projected into the visor of the helmet.
And if you look at the wing, not a helmet makes you see gives you the image of what is underneath. The controls are a little joystick and a large touchscreen display, a display 8 "to 20" with an interface of data equal to one gigabyte per second. And as if it were a giant i-phone, touching it can expand a radar or increase the power of the engine. The system board is the first case of artificial intelligence.
Radar, infrared sensors, electro-optical devices, scanners emissions form a sphere around the plane that keeps everything under control. "It absorbs impulses, processes them, select them and provide the pilot only validate the information, ie relevant and verified," says general Nordio, head of the pool, which coordinates the presence of the Italian project. You see everything, but few can see stealth is designed to slide wave radar and engines that reduce the heat so as not to alarm the infrared sensors, many of the materials with which it is built are still top secret.
Another innovation is the engine. It can take off in a few hundred meters through all'ugello rear that is oriented downward and a double-turbofan, and land like a helicopter. It needs no runways means just a piece of asphalt road in any corner of the world. The Lockheed Martin JSF
, With the name of operational F-35 Lighting, the air is wanted by the U.S. after 11 September: the first and only airplane designed for the asymmetric wars.
It can be deployed quickly anywhere, with very little maintenance takes off in 200 meters, it lands like a helicopter. Real-time exchange data with satellites, other JSF and the bases on land. For that revolutionizes the way to fly: the days of Red Baron, planes always flew in pairs to cover each other, with the JSF will remain as far as possible, but getting all the information gathered from satellites, drones, ground bases.
E 'il netcentrico conflict, which transforms the fields of battle in an electronic network and is experienced in Afghanistan: a network where the JSF will provide the crucial junction. That is the Obama presidency, which is some of the amputee technology programs at the Pentagon, aims to focus on the JSF. The costs are enormous: the development has already swallowed up 55 billion dollars and Washington plans to spend 623 to replace all cacciabombardieri F16, F18 and Harrier of Aviation, marine and marines.
And for the first time such an advanced program was opened to a pool of allies: Great Britain, Holland, Norway. Italy joined the project in 2002, with the Berlusconi government, but it was the Executive Prodi to give effect to the participation. Our country has 4% of the shares of development, for which they have spent 1.2 billion euros. Our country should buy to replace 131 of 180 Tornado, Harrier and Amx in service with Aeronutica and Marina. The cost of the program should tap the 11 billion euros.
A very high figure. The Prodi government has obtained contracts for Italian companies to value shares. And only a concession to build in Piedmont the only assembly line outside the U.S.. The fallout is enormous technological: 40 factories in 12 regions are involved with the provision of guarantee 10 thousand highly skilled jobs. In the front row, Alenia, which should produce all the wings in a factory close to the Secondigliano Gomorrah.
