No the f-35 does not supercruise. It’s not one of the objectives of the program. The F-35 demonstrators flying at the moment do not a have the intended full power engines fitted yet. By the way Phantom, I was speaking to an ex USN Commander not so long ago who used to fly F4c Phantoms. He said they supercruised at m1.1 when clean because of the turbojets.
