The F-35 stealth fighter plane factory in Fort Worth, Texas is a vast expanse. The indoor warehouse almost resembles a small city, filled with row after row of F-35 stealth fighter components and structures at various stages of construction. Stealthy looking, green-colored pieces of Fuselage, wires, wings, 25mm guns and partially completed aircraft fill up row after row along a seemingly endless walkway. The building is home to large, airplane size workstations in close proximity to one another and populated by workers, experts, engineers and others involved creating each F-35. The ones showing a box-like lift fan on top of the fuselage are F-35Bs, the ones with the largest wings are F-35Cs and all of the stealthy airframes have a smoothed over rounded area for the aircraft’s 25mm cannon.
