Lockheed-Martin
X-35B
Joint Strike Fighter

The lift-fan propulsion system uses a counter-rotating lift-fan as a primary lifting force. The fan produces more than 18,000 lbs of thrust in hover flight, with an additional 18,000 lbs coming from the main engine's vectored aft nozzle and wing roll-posts.
