On Feb. 16, Norway completed a successful test of the F-35 drag chute system at Ørland Air Base, Norway. The drag chute — unique to the Norwegian aircraft — is designed to maintain stealth characteristics. The system is housed under a small fairing on the upper rear fuselage between the vertical tails and can be used to rapidly decelerate Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) F-35s after landing on the country’s icy runways.
