Lockheed Martin F-35

Fast, sleek and deadly, the beautiful Lockheed Martin F-35 snags the no. 5 pick for me. It may be expensive - but it's features make up for it. The F-35 packs a real punch: both wings having a 2,300kg inboard stations, a 1,100kg mid station, six 910kg external air to surface slots and eight air to air missiles launched from internal weapons systems. The F-35 is also capable of taking off and landing vertically by angling down the jet exhaust nozzle and a vertical fan behind the cockpit.
