The supersonic Lockheed Martin F35B Lightning II stealth fighter, piloted by Graham Tomlinson, lands vertically for the first time at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland on March 18, 2010. The successful test confirmed the aircraft's power and controllability during hover and vertical landing, a requirement that will enable supersonic stealth jet to operate out of confined spaces on land or small ships.
