F-35C completes first arrested landing on Ford-class carrier USS John F. Kennedy

The post reports the first arrested landing of an F-35C aboard a Ford-class carrier (CVN-79), a key milestone in integrating the stealth fighter with EMALS and Advanced Arresting Gear. This matters because it validates (at least in early testing) compatibility of next-gen carrier launch/recovery systems with the Navy’s primary 5th-gen carrier aircraft, after years of integration and reliability challenges.
