In real life, the pitot tube typically serves the purpose as a barometer, measuring the air pressure outside. I believe it may have something to do with an altimeter as well, but it's been 4-5 years since I took my flight science course.
CORRECTION: My bad. Pitot tubes serve to measure airspeed, not air pressure.
Where did you take a flight science course?
I found a few photos showing it in real life F-35B's. I don't know if that means it's part of the production model or not (the lower photo definitely looks like some kind of test arrangement), but it is definitely funky looking.fitz8402 wrote:

It's satellite internet, duh. Watch BF2 movies and recline your seat._-_911_-_180891 wrote:
It's a new satelite dish for a TV. Yeah, when some n00b is behind you with the J-10 and can't hit your for shit you just switch on your TV and watch MTV or something else...
the pitot tube is probably in front to eliminate any angles and lower the planes radar signature.Nappy wrote:
whats the go with the wheels? are they tyre warmers, like in formula 1 before the race or something? lol
yeh it does look pretty cool, especially from the front
i would assume the pitot tube would be in one of the air intakes, or near it maybe? im not sure. or maybe not have one at all, probly has some kind of electronic means of getting its speed. they would probly need to put it right in the middle or one on either side as it would make too much parasite drag
dude, learn your aircraft parts; its a pitot, with a T. The pitot is the sensor used to determine airspeed.san4 wrote:

This article has a picture of the first production model. I hope this link workssan4 wrote:

If I could get one of those screens that projects an image into midair like in Paycheck, that would be ideal...LT.Victim wrote:

Play safe though, we don't want any paper cuts.
actually, its a new takeoff system that they developed for the F-35 jets (i like to call them by their other name, JSF, or Joint Strike Fighter). it allows the plane to either take off in a nomral way, like from a runway or off of a carrier, or in a vertical manner, more like a helicopter. that feature is only in the marines variant of the JSF, which is, of course, the variant used in the game. there is a way to take off vertically in the game, but i forgot how. i think you double tap the S key. you can even see the engine bend down in the game if someone is doing a vertical takeoff.san4 wrote:

that would be the air force variant. a little different than the specific one we are talking about. but yeahh, i see no forward penis. odd...fitz8402 wrote:

It is flight test equipment. No doubt about it. Take a look a the pick in my previous postmafropetee wrote:

as for the protrusion in the front which this thread is originally about, like i said before. most likely a sensor array. i dont think its a form of testing equipment like whoever said that said. because im pretty sure ive seen it on final versions of the JSF. i DO know that it has a really advanced radar system. actually, it has a pretty advanced everything. they made this jet as a cheaper, more efficient, yet technolgically advanced way to supply our armed forces with aircraft. theres also army and air force variants. they were supposed to replace pretty much every other fighter, especially the F-22 Raptor, because of how versatile they are. but i havent been keeping up with this stuff for a while, so im not sure if they ever really put it into decent action. but i knew about it a long time ago when it was still in development and barely anyone knew about it. and i loved everything about it

Upon reading you entire post I noticed other problems. 1.) The army doesn't fly fighters thus it will not be receiving a single f-35. 2.) It has nowhere near the capabilities of the f-22.fitz8402 wrote:
