Sister Ship to 
Question. Is the air brake engaged in that video. If so, why? Just curious about the part of the plane behind the cockpit standing vertical.
Are you feeling the need - the need for speed?! Here is the first 
takeoff in real time, as requested by so many of you. Enjoy! #WESTLANT19 #QNLZatSea #bigdecksfastjets #FlyNavy @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @OC617Sqn @17SqnRAFpic.twitter.com/4WkRhWZ7Nb

The vertical part is the lift fan cover, it has to be open in take off to allow airflow through the fan to create lift

The F35B can takeoff conventionally, which I imagine they would do when ashore to reduce lift fan wear and tear. Harrier didn't have the range, payload and stealth.

Why is the air brake on ...

Air inlet for the lift fan, not an air brake
