The F-35 Lightning II is the most technologically advanced aircraft ever built. Designed as a 5th-generation multi-role fighter, the F-35 can perform both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Now when it comes to engineering such an incredible piece of machinery, I had always wondered what all went in to the manufacturing process. In this video, I had the chance to walk Lockheed Martin's mile long production line in Fort Worth, TX to get a behind-the-scenes look that has rarely been documented on camera. I'll show you the process of creating the F-35 from concept to cockpit, and if you hang around till the end, I may even have a few surprises in store...
