F-35 Cockpit Demonstrator Event

On April 11, 2012, Lockheed Martin showcased its F-35 Lightning II mobile cockpit demonstrator to state and local elected officials, local suppliers and employees at Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector in Redondo Beach, Calif., a partner on the F-35 program. During the event, executives and employees from Northrop Grumman and other F-35 supplier companies, elected officials and community leaders received an update on the status of the program as well as the opportunity to "fly" the F-35 cockpit demonstrator and experience firsthand, how advanced stealth, fighter agility and integrated information will enable pilots to survive and operate effectively in the projected threat environments of the future. The cockpit is visually and audibly interactive and provides a realistic look at the F-35's performance, air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities, sophisticated sensor fusion and advanced computational capabilities.
