F-35B STOVL-Mode Flight

F-35B STOVL-Mode Flight: "The first Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter passes overhead at 40 knots (46 mph) prior to a slow landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., on Wednesday, March 10.
The flight was one of the last missions before the aircraft's first vertical landing, and confirmed the jet's power and controllability at very low speeds."
