The VTOL system of the F-35 consists of a turbofan engine and a Rolls-Royce LiftSystem.

The exhaust nozzle of the turbofan rotates to turn downward, directing the thrust in such a direction. The engine also powers the LiftSystem which a vertical compressor located just behind the cockpit, sheltered behind upper and lower bay doors.

Additionally, some exhaust is ported to each wing tip in order to aid stabilization and balance.

Can the harrier jump jet land vertically after reaching high speeds?

Yes, the AV-8B Harrier II Jump Jet can transition to vertical flight and land vertically even after reaching high speeds by using its thrust vectoring nozzles to redirect engine exhaust downward for lift. This capability allows the Harrier to take-off and land in confined spaces without the need for a traditional runway.
