“No Correction Plan”: F-35 fighter deprived of long afterburner

The Pentagon refused to solve one of the key problems of the F-35 fighter - when traveling at supersonic speed, there is a threat of defragmentation of the tail of the aircraft. Instead of making technical changes to eliminate this flaw, it was decided to establish restrictions on the operation of the machine.

It is reported Defense News.

How to close the problem

For the first time about this problem became known in 2019. It consists in the fact that at extremely high altitudes the F-35 in modifications intended for the Navy and Marines is able to fly at supersonic sound for short periods of time, since this mode of movement leads to structural separation and loss of stealth.

This problem may make it impossible for the F-35C US Navy to conduct supersonic intercepts

- writes the edition.

According to him, this problem was closed on December 17, 2019 with a "stroke of the pen" - the report on the shortcomings stated: "there is no correction plan." This wording is used in cases where the user's requirements to eliminate comments do not justify the estimated cost of the changes.

It was understood that the elimination of the defect would require a long development and flight testing of a new coating material that can withstand the impact exerted on it by supersonic for an unlimited time, satisfying weight and other conditions.

Instead, this issue is resolved procedurally by introducing a time limit on high-speed flights.

- reports the publication.
Prolonged supersonic travel is able to damage not only the tail of the glider, but also the antennas located here.

Tactical implications

It may seem terrible that an airplane purchased for flying at supersonic speeds will not be able to do this for a long period of time.

- notes Defense News.

However, as explained to the publication, expert Brian Clark of the Hudson Institute, who is a retired naval officer, unlike the F-22, supersonic sound for the F-35 is not a tactically necessary device. It is needed only in some cases and for short distances, resembling a situation when glass is broken in extreme conditions.

At the same time, Defense News gives other estimates. The retired pilot said that "restrictions on the afterburner can be fatal in melee scenarios." According to him, there is already unfavorable for the USA historical precedent of ignoring the melee. During the Vietnam War, a bet was made on missiles and the idea of ​​a nasal gun was discarded, which caused a surge in deaths in battle. Marine aviation it remembers and therefore does not trust the restrictions on afterburner.

when moving at supersonic speed arises threat of defragmentation the tail of the aircraft.

Humanly speaking, "the tail can come off at any moment."
Well, the statement:

unlike the F-22, supersonic sound for the F-35 is not a tactically necessary technique.

automatically transfers the Penguin to the VI generation of aircraft, as according to American TU, afterburning supersonic sound is one of the signs of a fifth generation aircraft.
PySy: Adepts Fu-35! Here is my liver. Peck!

[letinant]

You correctly understood the link text:

when driving at supersonic speed, there is a threat of defragmentation of the tail of the aircraft.

But to me personally, it seems there is an incorrect translation. And for this reason:

At the same time, Defense News gives other estimates. The retired pilot said that "restrictions on the afterburner can be fatal in melee scenarios."

If you overlay the text of this link, on the text above in the article:

However, as explained to the publication, expert Brian Clark of the Hudson Institute, who is a retired naval officer, unlike the F-22, supersonic sound for the F-35 is not a tactically necessary device. It is needed only in some cases and for short distances, resembling a situation when glass is broken in extreme conditions.

That most likely it is not about supersonic, but about afterburner mode of the engine. But this is a specific disaster for a modern airplane!

[umah]

there is a threat of defragmentation of the tail of the aircraft

Defragmentation - restoration of integrity. The author probably meant the opposite effect - destruction.

supersonic for the F-35 is not a tactically necessary technique

Perhaps for the next generation of American aircraft, the flight itself will become an optional trick. There will be formidable combat layouts.

That's right, thanks for the tip. Most likely an incorrect translation, as I said before. The reason, I believe a person is not familiar with the translation on technical topics.

Perhaps for the next generation of American aircraft, the flight itself will become an optional trick. There will be formidable combat layouts.

Here one, a reader, a writer, expressed an idea about the "sensorineural connection". They will launch them from the couch with the power of thought. And then you see "what kind of helmets they have." And they also beat their heads against the lantern during takeoff with a catapult.

[Alex777]

And the most interesting in the situation are the numbers:
Instead of changing the physical design of the aircraft, the Pentagon decided to adjust the operational requirements for the F-35B Lightning II and F-35C Lightning II. Now, such aircraft, according to open data, are allowed to fly at a speed of Mach 1,2 no more than 80 seconds, and at a speed of Mach 1,3 - up to 40 seconds.
And this at the declared maximum speed of 1900 km / h.

[Alex777]

The coating and rear AFAR are falling off.
The Germans do not want to hear about the F-35.
And the Turks - just lucky.

Victor ... but to compare himself with titanium Prometheus ... the crown does not shake his head? More modest respected, more modest And based on the article, we can conclude that on the way there are new materials and a radio-absorbing coating for the penguin (apparently royal based on its capabilities). On afterburner (long-term), most likely, the tail will not be at half past five, but the stealth coating will begin to collapse. How long ago did despicable penguins make a transatlantic flight from mainland to mainland on their own? How many of them have already been riveted in all THREE modifications? In addition to this limitation and other childhood diseases of the already ACTUALLY MASS SERIAL machine, what can you say about the other POSSIBILITIES of this penguin? Whatever we sang here, we didn’t gundels and wry ... but the number of combat-ready squadrons is steadily increasing. Why can't you personally understand that in the 21st century it has already become the norm to have high-tech products at the output, the potential of which is not completely clear EVEN to those who brought them into the world. For me, "pungwyn" is, first of all, a communication center for the collection and processing of ground and air components - a kind of scanner of the 21st century. Compare the helmet and equipment of their pilot and ours - is there a difference? Is having a helmet with augmented reality a trifle in your opinion? Sensorineural exchange between the pilot and the vehicle - are they just seeds? The penguin has one of the best thrust-weight ratio engines in the world. Let's keep quiet about the radar system and synthesizing capabilities.

What are you talking about? What the fuck is a sensorineural connection? This is a projection of information onto glass. Power of thought, PANCAKE, or just a word like a word? My advice is to watch less fiction. What kind of combat readiness can we talk about, 1) the gun and the airplane live two different lives, 2) where there are air battles, at least training ones, 3) all the countries that operate it in a combat situation do not give any feedback about it (Israel, the USA). Israel somehow said something like this: "we bombed yesterday, and by the way it was the F-35" and that's it. Another question is where is their F-35? silence. The United States would have quickly sent a combat-ready aircraft to the front line, otherwise the F-22 and that's it.

[viktor_ui]

Alexei, if you do not know anything about sensorineural exchange, this does not mean that it is NOT. Displaying information on lobovuha the apotheosis of tenology in you - do not tell. And in terms of neurosensory exchange, it’s there and the technology has been developing quite a while (yes, the power of thought is practical, because the generation of a specific thought or image is the essence of a particular chain of electromagnetic pulses generated by the subcortex, and if you have a hat-mesh with sensors, you can control the glands, of course, which have an interface for exchanging data and actuators with controllers and software. For you personally, in the very beginning of the 2000s you could buy a similar CIVILIAN device in my office equipment store in my city. Put on your head, establish a connection with your computer and adapt full control through software Scrolling the dock back and forth, turning off the PC, selecting a group of files, managing a DVD drive (you can use it with your voice), etc. ... but there was one BUT, if you were in the morning with a break, the system refused to identify you as the owner and needed to be re-calibrated, so don’t tell me about science fiction in this regard.

For a long time soooo did not laugh)))))
As the saying goes - when there is nothing to cover, you have to fool any nonsense.
The absence of afterburner - immediately puts an end to the plane, like a fighter. That is, in fact, the F-35 simply will not be able to physically catch up / intercept the Tu-160, and any of our fighter in addition. And if we take into account that we have long-range missiles as well, then the F-35 does not make much sense to take off. All the same will do the F-16 for goraazazdo less money))))

Once again I will give you advice, look less fiction. With the current state of neurosystems, they cannot be used in military technology (overloads, impacts, etc.). Have you ever had an encephalogram? So, this is the neural connection between the brain and the machine (reading impulses). So there it is impossible to twitch, from the word, AT ALL. You've probably watched the 117s movie F-90, made in the USA. So there is a helmet like it is now on the F-35. Well, if you seriously read the product before advertising it. There is no neural network, there was not and will not be in the near future. Such a number of wires are necessary to transmit video information projected onto the helmet glass from different sensors, therefore there are two glasses, transparent (cannot be removed into the helmet) and sunscreen (removed into the helmet). And about the surgeon in more detail (what is the name, the clinic where he practices, I will check your information). I found out information about the helmet on the website of the manufacturer "Lockheed-Martin".

[viktor_ui]

to each his own ... you read the info on a bundle of wires and rest assured that there are no other ways of transmitting and reading packet data in nature.

[Private-K]

Quote: viktor_ui

Based on the article, it can be concluded that new materials and a radar absorbing coating for the penguin are approaching

The article directly says - "there is no plan for fixing", which means - work on the creation of a new stealth coating not conducted; as no other work is underway to change the design of the airframe to eliminate newly identified problems.

Quote: viktor_ui

In addition to this limitation and other childhood illnesses, the ACTUALLY MASS Mass SERIES machine what can you say about other POSSIBILITIES of this penguin

We can say that the list critical problems are growing and these critical problems are not resolved but stroke of the pen are transferred to the category of non-critical. What is typical fraud.
We can say that there are too many interested dignitaries who do not want to be held responsible for declaring both the Fu35 concept itself and its poor implementation erroneous. The car came out clearly bad, obviously unsuccessful, obviously megaproblematic (and, as is already obvious, the problems are not solved, but simply declared not significant.)

Quote: viktor_ui

Whatever we sing here, the tunnels and the crooked ... but the number of combat-ready squadrons is steadily increasing.

"Battle-ready" aircraft with a list of irreparable non-removable critical problems that fundamentally reduce the combat potential of the aircraft? Does this approach make the aircraft combat-ready? Are you sure?

Quote: viktor_ui

Penguin dviglo on thrust-weight ratio is one of the best in the world.

Are you hoping for our short memory? Less than a year ago, the speed of flights of a "magnificent" aircraft with a "magnificent" engine had to be sharply limited both in speed and in time. Do not hope - we have not forgotten about that, again, unresolved critical issue.

[viktor_ui]

Oleg ... the curves, the bad and the blind (in your opinion) will simply crush our Air Force in a crowd ... and with them they can get to the heap starting from F-14 onwards, ending with the UAV. The question is not how bad the penguin is, but what it is more and more, including the entire multi-level infrastructure attached to it. And in terms of fraud, and who is there multiple champions - you won’t immediately tell who is lying more and more flowery. All are good to the heap. Yes ... maybe they are waiting for the next technological breakthrough for them and therefore there is no correction plan ... a timeout, but it’s their pain in the neck and it’s up to them to agree. I’m calm for your memory ... but it was then a decision of that time ... we can’t know the true state of affairs, but we can only judge by indirect signs - the progress is clearly on the face based on the number of trained pilots for the F-35 . Bad and at such a rate of reproduction .... HMMMM.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Compare the helmet and equipment of their pilot and ours - is there a difference? ...... The Helmet system for our fighters appeared in the 80s of the last century. the average wing load on penguins is prohibitive. the thrust-weight ratio is below unity, the ammunition reception is limited, and the radar system .... without AWACS or how, exactly like without a satellite constellation .... it’s not clear what you are harnessing for a penguin

[viktor_ui]

Vladimir Your key word on the helmet is the development of the 80s of the XX century ... the argument is over.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

the argument is over ..... I did not argue with you, but I discussed it. it is not clear what the Helmet system confused you ??? Well, as I understand it from your text, that indeed the load on the wing and the thrust-weight ratio of lightning are lower than the baseboard. in any case, the characteristics of the manufacturers themselves are declared. I have nothing to do with it

[viktor_ui]

Vladimir, in terms of discussion then, you have to agree that the pilot’s helmet and pilot’s outfit are simply obliged to undergo transformation and metamorphosis due to the complexity of the flying product itself - if I’m mistaken and everything has been successfully molded so much that the SU-27 .. that the SU-35 have the same performance characteristics, ergonomics, the interaction of the pilot and the plane ... It's just that on the head and how and what the penguin pilot is wearing ... and how our pilots are equipped. Really the technological difference is not visible ... with all the real and imaginary shortcomings of the opponent. We will not discard the concept of BLOCK (current modification) and version.

Well, in terms of turning monograms in the sky ... pilots from both sides still have to fly to the dog dump.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

We still will not discount the concept of BLOCK ... well, Victor, you yourself posted the TTX, which I actually claimed. Well, lightning does not have the superiority that should be. wing loading is the same
. Pilots on both sides still need to fly to the dog dump .... but here there are doubts. basically at this stage of local warfare, combat aircraft rubs side by side. so the dog dump no matter how when relevant at the moment. and in the near future
at the expense of the Helmet system .... well, I do not know if the level of information content is increased there or not. Nevertheless, according to the words of my friend Ka-52 pilot, it works great in a helicopter

[viktor_ui]

Vladimir, maybe the penguin concept itself does not provide for close combat (as an extreme case) ... the emphasis is placed on the existing technological superiority, which is increasing with each new block (that is, that is, we will not shrug it off). It would be very interesting to compare the quantitative ratio of the versatile sensors of the F-35 and the latest modifications of Sushki or Migare ... because the more the machine collects the operational environment available to it, processes, exchanges it with its control center ... the more detailed and augmented reality the pilot will receive on your helmet-mounted screen, which ultimately will allow the more advanced to win his life in a real clash (which has been repeatedly demonstrated in real clashes).
In general, the F-35 will definitely work in a multi-level team with other cars + UAVs. Well, why am I strumming all this on the clave - I have a simple desire for us to unambiguously keep up with the times in all respects. Here, many fought with me in terms of the neurointerface - such as a fairy tale and a bablabla ... fairy tales for them, but with the help of them you can write music, control a quadcopter, etc ... and this is available for sale on order. Let them live in their own world. My civil vehicle has MORE THAN 1000 sensors for collecting information and I perceive it as a server on 4 wheels. As an administrator, I was interested in establishing contact with her from home through a closed gateway and talking to her in terms of testing and calibrations in more comfortable conditions. By the way, when the F-35 takes off from the aircraft carrier, then the person there holds a two-way data exchange scanner in their hands and sees the generalized level of readiness of the main penguin systems before take-off - this is normal and I know, because I understand what this thing is for.

Isn't defragmentation an assembly of fragments? Or the fu-35 tail is simply sintered into a monolithic piece of g ....?

[Eug]

Interestingly - is the duration of the afterburner enough for takeoff? So that without "fragmentation" ... or takeoff in non-afterburner mode with subsequent refueling? You can get out of any situation, especially one-time, but how acceptable will it be on an ongoing basis? During the Great Patriotic War, our Kulibins on Airacobras welded on a corner due to insufficient rigidity of the tail unit - the Penguin will certainly be horrified by such a solution to the problem. And the phrase "the idea of ​​a bow gun was rejected" greatly surprised ☺

[Dmitry from Voronezh]

The news, of course, is good. However, good and small. Now, if he lost stealth at any altitude with prolonged afterburner ... And so, he would not have to fly at extremely high altitudes very often. So, this is a trifle, not very pleasant for Americans, but just a trifle. Therefore, they are not going to correct it, because it will do so.

First they praise, extol and force to buy, then flaws begin to emerge, some of which they try to eliminate, but at the same time they continue to praise the plane. Now there is a new "attack" and what next? But nothing. New flaws will emerge, but the main goal has been achieved - making a profit on the sale of an aircraft that has not been completely finished.

Any product of human hands has certain restrictions. And for devices, it’s not without reason that they write instructions for use where these restrictions are written. And yes, they do not use an engineer.

Key phrase that many seem to have missed

. at extremely high altitudes F-35 in versions designed for the Navy and Marines, is able to fly at supersonic sound for short periods of time

A rarely used mode, in which over time there is a detachment on the afterburner.
No wonder the problem surfaced only after a big raid
It is doubtful that in reality this gives any serious restrictions on the operation and use of

However, Lockheed has a strong lobby, if they managed to cram the military and US partners, frankly, a crude aircraft with a bunch of defects, some of which cannot be fixed!

automatically translates the Penguin into the VI generation of aircraft

Only not in the VI (sixth) generation, but in IV - the fourth. However. in which he was originally. Whatever the advertisement says. It’s just that instead of 4 ++, it’s just 4th.

All this is just f-35 and is going through

Moreover, sequentially. On long supersonic.

Somewhat off topic, but now I noticed just such an interesting picture on planeradar:

Fragmentation is the process of crushing something into many small disparate fragments.
Antonym defragmentation. That is, according to the author, at the supersonic in the F-35 there is a restoration of the tail of the aircraft?

[Maks1995]

And, all this garbage, IMHO.
Most likely there is simply a bad translation.
Because at the beginning of the article, the tail either falls apart, or sticks together - "... defragmentation ...", and in the middle the stealth coating is stratified.

Total: in marine (lightweight) versions with a long, but unspecified time - 5 or 20 or 40 minutes - the afterburner exfoliates the stealth coating on the tail.

But in comparison with what they wrote earlier - ALL coverage on all modifications cracked under ordinary supersonic sound - this is progress. And they did the right thing - there is nothing to fly during training on afterburning supersonic at super-altitude.

They also wrote nicely about our MIGIs and TUs in VO - overheating is almost red-hot, the glass of the cabin is quickly scrapped, etc. Only everything is classified .....

[missuris]

hmmm, how did it even go through acceptance? or as usual someone entered a supersonic without any minimum parameters?

I was thinking, with the new data, it turns out that the F-35 is a new normally flying F-117 subsonic, i.e. normally takes off, flies normally and sits normally. also stealth.

Uuu well, everything is not the fifth generation Sucks)) Nada redo

[Lord of the Sith]

It’s not for nothing that they called you a penguin, where did you see a flying penguin?))

[Roman_vh]

It’s not clear. At high altitudes, where the resistance of the medium is less in view of the discharged one and it cannot be forced to give it. And at the bottom, as some say, it’s possible.
Who will explain the physics of the process.

Everything is as usual a little wrong. The problem was identified in 2011 on modifications C and B. It appeared only twice in one case on aircraft of the specified type. When flying at speeds of 1.2M and higher with afterburner. Since then, the coating has been changed and the problem cannot be reproduced anymore. Failed. But since there is no guarantee of eliminating the manifestation of this in 100% of cases, it is currently not recommended to make long supersonic flights with afterburner. I think that the matter is in a very powerful F-35 engine, which gives Pts a hot and voluminous torch on afterburner. As for the supersonic flight itself, everyone basically flies on a subsonic basis, since this gives fuel economy and range. And what kind of supersonic is there if you carry it on pylons, on the external suspension say a couple of tons of bombs and missiles ?! Here the resistance will not allow you to. And the F-35 (version A and C), by the way, inside the standard can carry four AIM-120 and two 900 kg UAB (and a year ago the manufacturer announced that it had developed a new internal suspension scheme that allows placing 6 AIM-120 in the air- air) I would look at the MiG-29/35, which carries a similar set of weapons on the external suspension (do not forget to take into account the weight / resistance of the pylons for weapons) and how it will come to supersonic with this.
