Which pylon is installed on the F-35?

• A. SUU-95
• B. SUU-73
• C. SUU-67
• D. BRU-71

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is which external stores hardware is specified for the F-35. The F-35 uses a dedicated external stores pylon that is designed to work with its unique interface and stealth considerations. That pylon is the SUU-95, specifically built to mate with the F-35’s weapons management and mounting requirements while preserving flight performance. The other pylons listed are not the ones used on this aircraft; BRU-71 is associated with legacy platforms and external stores racks, and SUU-73 and SUU-67 are not the F-35’s standard external pylon. So the SUU-95 is the correct choice for the F-35 external stores pylon.
