The Pratt & Whitney F135 is an afterburning turbofan developed from the F119 for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, a single-engine strike fighter. It comes in a conventional take-off and landing version for the F-35A and F-35C and a short take-off vertical landing version for the F-35B that adds a shaft-driven lift fan at the front. It produces around 28,000 pounds-force of thrust, and 43,000 pounds-force with afterburner. Its origins lie in Lockheed's shaft-driven lift fan concept from a 1986 DARPA project, and the first production engines were delivered in 2009. It competed against the General Electric and Rolls-Royce F136 to power the F-35.
