Great video of the F-35B! Apparently they like to take off with the air brake deployed? I wonder what that's all about?

With the F-35B (the one taking off with the airbrake) that's the air intake for the STOVL engine which is used to shorten the takeoff run for carrier ops I believe.

Thanks, that makes sense. It sure looks strange, though.

Interesting video. But I'm surprised how open the Navy and Lockheed is about this plane while it's still under testing. Back in the 80s and 90s when I was hired by Rockwell (B-1 program) and Lockheed Skunk works, everything was sooooooo secret.
