Largest engine batch ordered for F-35

81
The largest production contract in the United States stories engine batch programs for Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighters. The amounts specified in the contract give an idea of ​​the cost of the engine for the US Air Force.





Pratt & Whitney has received a $ 5,7 billion contract from the US Department of Defense for the 12th and 13th production runs of the F135 engine, the primary power plant for the F-35, a fifth-generation stealth fighter.

This contract is the largest single delivery in F135 production history. Under the agreement, the assembly of 332 engines was financed both for the US armed forces and for foreign customers. The contract includes program management, engineering and service support, as well as the adjustment of power plants.

- the company said in a statement. A simple calculation gives a figure of approximately 17,2 million per unit.



The deal includes options for the production of the 14th series of engines. Pratt & Whitney claims to have supplied more than 500 F135 powerplants that power all three F-35 variants.

The previous contract was concluded in June 2018 of the year. Then the company made a deal on engines for the 11-series stealth fighter. Then the production of F135 cost the US Armed Forces 2 billion dollars, and included 135 engines (14,8 million per engine).


Engine Option for F-35B


The F135 dual-circuit engine is based on the F119, designed for the first fifth-generation fighter, the F-22. Its maximum thrust in the normal and deck versions is 13000 kgf, on the afterburner - 19500 kgf. Compared to the previous engines of this company, it has improved characteristics of system checks and failure detection. It also has approximately 40 percent less detail. Engine maintenance is also simplified - all hot-swappable components can be removed and reinstalled with a set of just six tools. Also, its maintenance requires almost half less than human hours.

The difference in price may be due to different variations of one engine, supplied for different versions of the aircraft. Thus, the F135-PW-400 mounted on the deck F-35C is characterized by enhanced corrosion protection. And the F135-PW-600 powerplant for the F-35B is equipped with a rotary nozzle and a Rolls-Royce lift fan, as well as side nozzles for roll stabilization. All this affects the final cost.

            No matter how strange it may seem, but the chances are good: the S-400 (in the maiden name of the S-300PM3) is an air defense system, therefore, when deployed, it is mandatory covered by the Carapace. Which task includes, among other things, the destruction of low-flying cruise missiles. The primary detection of such missiles will be made by the S-400 radar.

                Unfortunately, I do not have a specific number for the detection range of such missiles, however, if you take your number, then 30 km for tomahawks will correspond to about 90 seconds, which, in my opinion, should be enough for the Shells to be fully prepared for destruction KP.
                Regarding the "mass raid": it just doesn’t happen - there is a certain preparation going on for it, which the intelligence must open. And there are also problems with launching a large number of missiles: either they need to be launched long and tediously from a small number of carriers (which is good for hiding preparations from reconnaissance); or, in fact, there is a short salvo from a large number of carriers - with this option, of course, it is harder to fight with air defense systems, however, it is much better opened by intelligence.
                Well and most importantly: do not forget that with a truly “mass raid”, air defense only buys the time needed for retaliation.

                    There is no arguing that the best defense is an attack. If a ship comes to you with hundreds of tomahawks on board, it needs to be drowned, a plane is flying, it must be shot down and still better at the airport. Then there will be no impact of great strength.

                      Yes, but for this we need a fleet that can be deployed in the ocean at distant frontiers in order to meet rocket carriers still on the way. And for this, the fleet must have a sufficient number of destroyers or cruisers, aircraft carriers and apl. It is also not bad to have a powerful marine missile-carrying aviation so that, with its help, you can quickly increase the density of a missile salvo in the right direction.
                      And for the destruction of enemy aircraft on ground bridgeheads, you need to have a sufficient number of your own strike aircraft and missile systems.

                To you, to increase the storage of knowledge:
                Most of the authors of publications on stealth aircraft are directly related to their development, therefore, the data given in the table are obviously based on similar publications, and therefore are not entirely objective. There are practically no independent studies on the stealth of specific aircraft. Only F-117 flights in Iraq and Yugoslavia enabled our military specialists to assess the effect of the "new" technologies of the Americans. And according to the estimates of Russian military experts, modern technologies created under the Stealth program can reduce the effective scattering area (EPR) of aircraft by up to 70 percent compared to aircraft of traditional schemes. In this case, the detection range of such an inconspicuous aircraft will be reduced by only a third, since the detection range is proportional to the fourth root of the RCS value. Western experts, however, speak of almost a thousandfold (!) Decrease in EPR. Very impressive. However, in terms of the detection distance, this means its reduction by about 5,6 times. So, if an ordinary aircraft was detected by the radar at a distance of 300 km, then on the same radar the same "invisible" from the "stealth" will be quite visible at a distance of 54 km. This is not so impressive, but still quite significant.

              You simplify everything to the level of black and white. The economy has its own clear and life-written laws. New machines - the project was worked out a long time ago, several hundred units of products were produced, products should be cheaper due to the shaft. The only rationale is the rate of inflation. In the US, it is less than 1 percent in my opinion per year. Where did the remaining 13% of the margin come from? Loans? Suppose the engines were assembled at a new plant built on credit. What is the loan interest in the USA? 2 or 3. The remaining 10 come from. When everything is very expensive from year to year, you will get hyper inflation and everything connected with it.

                    You would instead of stupid cons and even stupid theories read an article or something. Everything is clearly written there. For reasonable people, naturally.

                    The difference in price may be due to different variations of one engine, supplied for different versions of the aircraft. So, F135-PW-400 mounted on deck F-35C, has enhanced anti-corrosion protection. And the power plant F135-PW-600 for the F-35B is equipped with a rotary nozzle and a lifting fan manufactured by Rolls-Royce, as well as side nozzles for roll stabilization. All this affects the final cost.

                      It is necessary to read more, not MIX.
                      "Top Israeli officials also say it will leave the country only for combat missions — all maintenance will be done in country, rather than in predetermined regional overhaul facilities."
                      "Senior Israeli officials also state, that they will leave (planes) the country only for combat missions - all maintenance work will be carried out in the country, not at predetermined regional overhaul sites. "
                      During the war, when sea and air routes are blocked, Israel cannot be left without a repair base and spare parts.
                      And this was taught by the "Yom Kippur War", after a few days of hostilities, Israel did not have enough weapons and spare parts, all requests to the US government remained unanswered.
                      And at a critical moment, when there were several days left until the complete destruction of Israel, Golda Meer sent a letter to Bush that if weapons and spare parts did not arrive in the near future, Israel would launch a nuclear strike on Egypt and Syria,
                      Bush asked to abstain because armament has already been sent.
                      And how it ended you know.
                      Since then, they have entered into an arms supply agreement with a service base and spare parts on-site in Israel.

      It is a fact that F-35 is produced in hundreds, and even in a shipable and VTOL variant.

      Mass cheapens production.

      They are preparing for war, and against us. Japan has also been pumped up with money, technology and weapons for 70 years.

      They are waiting to strike at the most inopportune moment for us.

      But we are not the same, we are strengthening the army and navy. The main thing is at least to maintain pace in the economy and in the military-industrial complex.

      I would also like to accelerate in many directions, but let's be objective, our country's resources are not enough for a symmetrical answer, we need a different approach.

      But somewhere, of course, we will accelerate, fill our hands on the construction of ships and with the renewal of the fleet, everything will go better with us, with air defense we are already doing well, we are also improving the situation with aviation.

      Our strategy is defense at sea and on land. We need to expand economic and military cooperation with other countries.

      Keep in touch, improve the service of the equipment that was sold.

      We don’t need as many planes and ships as the United States and NATO do, but we need to have enough of them so that they don’t snoop on us and to distribute people to everyone whom the West is inciting us, be it Georgia or Japan or ISIS.

          What do you think that the salary of the staff who collects it is of great importance in the cost of a modern fighter?

          No, salary is a minuscule in the cost of the aircraft, but the share of profit from each unit that goes to the company is a significant thing.

          By the way, in the USA, part of this profit also goes to shareholders, including ordinary citizens of the USA and other countries who bought shares of Lockheed Martin or Boeing or other companies on the exchange through a broker.

            And you represent production only in the form of an assembly? The airplane has thousands of large and small parts that go through a complex phased manufacturing process before they get to the assembly line, where various components and assemblies are first made from them, only then the final assembly of the machine begins. Cost of materials, manufacturing cost at each production stage, in as a result, it translates into a rather sickly budget and is not a small part of the cost of the finished product.
