The Pax River ITF conducts the first-ever ski jump of an F-35 Lightning II during flight 298 of aircraft BF-04 aboard NAS Patuxent River June 19, 2015. The multi-phase ski jump tests will determine the aircraft’s compatibility with ski jumps aboard British and Italian aircraft carriers. Curved at its leading edge, a ski jump ramp simultaneously launches aircraft upward and forward, allowing aircraft to take off from shorter carriers with more weight and less end-speed.
