The Aurora F-35 Relâmpago is a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft developed and used by the Cartadanian Air Force. Developed as Cartadania's second fifth-generation fighter, the aircraft was designed to serve as attack and air superiority fighter, but also maintains the electronic warfare and signals intelligence capabilities of the F-26 Black Widow. Also developed in partnership, Aurora is the prime F-35 contractor, with principal partners Angelico and Murena Defense.

The F-35, similar to the Black Widow, has only been used in active combat once, during the Final War of the Deluge, though far more were utilized during this time than with the F-26 due to the amount present in the area. The primary focus during this time was Altany Air Force Base in Solemia, but they are stationed at every base in Cartadania.
