- また垂直着陸ができる、
- 最新鋭ステルス戦闘機。
航空自衛隊は、宮崎県新田原基地に配備する方針。
発着は「いずも」の甲板の耐熱化改修後の性能検証が目的だ。
甲板の耐熱性能：
海自艦艇に、Ｆ35Ｂが発着するのは初めて。
「いずも」の甲板耐熱性能向上のため、1回目の改修を、今年6月に終了した。
今回検証の結果、発着が可能と確認できたという。

F-35B landing and takeoff tests held on MSDF ship
Japan’s Defense Ministry
says it has conducted landing and takeoff tests of state-of-the-art stealth fighter jets on a Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel.
The ministry said on Tuesday that
two F-35B fighter jets from US Air Station Iwakuni in western Japan took part in the tests on the destroyer Izumo in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.
Izumo, designed as a helicopter carrier,
is undergoing modifications including its flight deck so that F-35B fighter jets could take off and land.
The tests were held as part of the modification process.
The MSDF released video images
showing the jets landing vertically and taking off from the 250-meter long flight deck.
MSDF Chief of Staff Yamamura Hiroshi
said in a news conference thatthe modifications will improve the operational flexibility of fighter jets.
He said he considers
the Izumo a multipurpose destroyer, and that it will be used for the country’s defense.The MSDF
plans a similar modification for Izumo’s sister destroyer, Kaga.NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
