According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" Seoul reported on January 5, an F-35A fighter of the South Korean Air Force on the 4th due to electronic system and landing gear failure during training, the pilot emergency with the belly of the aircraft forced landing success, becoming the world's first case. To this end, the authorities announced the temporary suspension of the entire F-35 fleet pending the results of the investigation.

Yonhap News Agency and Agence France-Presse reported that the pilot of the F-35A fighter found that in addition to the flight control system and engine can operate normally, the other electronic systems on the aircraft have all failed. After briefing the control center, he prepared to land at Seosan Air Base, 151 kilometers south of Seoul.

Unexpectedly, the electronic system problem caused the landing gear to be unable to descend normally, and finally the pilot decided to give up the catapult to escape, but forced the landing in the belly of the aircraft. The Air Force also rushed to spray special fire-resistant foam on the runway before he landed to reduce damage to the fuselage. Finally, after landing, the pilot stepped off the aircraft worth about $100 million on his own unscathed.

Military sources said it was clearly the first belly landing since the United States began exporting F-35A fighter jets to foreign countries.

South Korean Defense Ministry officials told AFP: "An investigation is currently underway [in response to this incident] and the entire F-35 fleet is also completely temporarily grounded." ”

South Korea ordered 40 F-35As from Lockheed Martin in 2014 and received its first deliveries five years later.

The report also said that a British F-35B crashed into the Mediterranean Sea after taking off from the "Queen Elizabeth" aircraft carrier last November, and the pilot was rescued after ejecting and escaping.
