Overview:
The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II is an advanced multirole stealth fighter; the "Bravo" variant is the Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) version. It is intended to replace the United States Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier II, AV-8B Harrier II Plus (+), as well as the legacy F/A-18C & D Hornet(s). Similar in size to the Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) A model, the B sacrifices some internal fuel volume to make room for the vertical flight system. Takeoffs and landings with vertical flight systems are by far the riskiest, and in the end, a decisive factor in design. Like the Harrier II, the F-35Bs' gun will be carried in a ventral pod. Whereas the F-35A is stressed to 9g, the F-35B is stressed to 7g. Unlike the other variants, the F-35B has no landing hook; the "STOVL/HOOK" button in the cockpit initiates conversion from conventional flight to STOVL mode instead of dropping the hook.
