Authorities said the wreckage of the F-35 was found in the rural Williamsburg area northeast of Charleston Air Force Base.
The pilot, whose name was not released, landed in North Charleston after parachuting safely.
When the pilot parachuted, the aircraft was put into autoflight, and its deactivated transponder and stealth technology prevented radar tracking.
