Lockheed Martin announced a new website for information on the F-35 strike fighter, including history, program updates, photos, and videos. Viewers can click on an interactive map of the United States and see the economic impact of the F-35 broken down by state. There is an F-35 town hall forum, where readers can submit questions for experts to answer. In addition to regular news reports, the site breaks down the aircraft’s supply chain, introduces the F-35 design team, and walks visitors through the mile-long facility in Fort Worth, Tex., where the company assembles the stealthy airplane.
