"Lockheed Martin" promises to fix the brake hook F-35C

"Military Parity". The Lockheed Martin company created a new brake hook design for the F-35C aircraft to speed up the long-awaited process of entering the aircraft in the fleet, representatives of the company and the US Navy said.

Representatives fleet they also said that they would have to re-equip the landing craft decks due to the heat and noise created by the F-35B vertical landing aircraft.

“I can promise you there will be no problems with the acquisition of the 260 F-35C Navy and 353 F-35B ILC,” said Vice Admiral David Dunaway, Chief of Command aviation systems of the Navy.

One of the problems with the original design of the brake hook F-35C was that it had to retract inside the aircraft in order to increase the stealth performance of the aircraft.
On tests, the brake hook was not able to catch on the aerofinishing aircraft carrier cables.

“Our initial design failed to meet expectations,” said Lorraine Martin, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 program. “The part of the brake hook that captures the cable is redone along with the“ holding damper ”mechanism, which holds the hook down on the deck.

She said that the new design will be tested this summer at the Naval Forces base in Lekharste (pc. New Jersey), test flight tests are expected at the end of the year.

One of the problems

Here you cannot get away with one problem ..
The US Air Force, as we know it, no longer exists

According to internal documents at the disposal of the Air Force Times, from April 9, 2013, the US Air Force will begin to withdraw advanced combat units to the reserve, due to cuts and the need to adapt to budget cuts.

The order to remove from flight will affect 17 squadrons belonging to various Air Force units.

Yes, they scored on stealth, they are still fighting the Papuans, at least they should complete the project and start production, so they no longer count on stealth or maneuverability, since the Papuans do not have good air defense systems and fighter aircraft. But this is a very good friend of them in the confrontation with China, Iran, Russia. Since these countries have better air defense and have regiments of fighter aircraft.

Well, who would doubt it! It would be better if the Americans were worried that there were fewer problems during the operation. And they will be! It is impossible to create a universal fighter-bomber-attack aircraft of vertical take-off and landing. Yes, and inconspicuous and maneuverable ... And without any problems ...

Yeah, I also smiled when I saw a similar picture. Only there it was different.

- TU 160 - four times cheaper and two times more efficient.

[Phantom Revolution]

The picture is not correct, 1 is stealth, most likely here the comparison of Tu-160 with B-1B is more correct. its value is 282 million. Characteristics xs.

[Retx]

I will quote "wikipedia"

B-1 is precisely a bomber in the original sense of the word, and it carries bombs mainly, while the TU-160 operates with the chthonic X-55 and X-555, which fly 3-5 thousand kilometers at extremely low altitude, with X -555 is able to fly into the specified window of the specified house and incinerate the wrong stool in a stool warehouse. X-55 is not so accurate, but it doesn’t need to, because it’s nuclear. If you do not compare technical parameters, then the United States does not have analogues of its native Tu-160. For:
B-1B was sawn from the old B-1A project to a long-range bomber (along with the B-2 as a replacement for the B-52) and ideologically is an ersatz of the B-2 stealth, and also drank the dough.

[Wedmak]

B-2 seems 19, one of them fell on takeoff.

[Lord of the Sith]

20, and there were 21 on Guam crashed on takeoff

[Nayhas]

The only thing they have comparable is the quantity. Neither the STELS technology, nor the wide range of guided weapons in the Tu-160 has. But the speed of air defense today cannot be fooled ...

[Retx]

What, excuse me, with a macar will the enemy air defense knock down Tu 160?

[Nayhas]

Air defense aircraft on guidance from ground-based radar or AWACS aircraft. Or do you think that the 2500 km range of the KR will be enough to defeat targets in the United States and remain outside the interception zone of air defense fighters? All movements of our "strategists" are monitored and intercepted by air defense fighters in neutral waters, giving the "patriots" a reason for comments like "gee pissed off ssk!" But in reality this means that the "strategists" will not be able to complete the combat mission.

[Bashkaus]

There is a saying "not every bird will fly to the middle of the Dnieper".
And so,
Math homework for 1st grade students:
Problem number 1
Given:
1-strategic missile carrier Tu160 with 12 missiles X555
X555 missile range is 2000km
2-American stealth fighter F22 raptor
1100km combat radius
AIM-120C AMRAAM 200km missile range
3-System Patriot heaped modification
The missile range is 80km (men, you yourself understand that it’s not serious), let's round up at least 100?
Question No. 1 What is the total distance the air target is hit by US air defense systems, if an F22 plane taking off from a beach on the ocean, at maximum removal launches an AIM-120C AMRAAM rocket, and when the rocket also flies to its maximum range, while the warhead is launched by a patriotic missile system , which will also launch its rocket.
Question No. 2 Is it physically feasible for the US air defense systems to destroy the Russian Tu160 missile carrier by removing at least 1500 km from the shoreline of the Light of Democracy?

Problem number 2
If the Americans are not fools, then how many barges with air defense systems installed on them will they need to surround their "island" and exclude the breakthrough of the Russian Tu160 and Tu95 missile carriers?

Task No. 3 (already more complicated) since need to find the circumference
how much time and kerasin will be spent by a Russian bomb carrier if it is about to fly around an American ship with an air defense system, the radius of which is 100 m)))

Well, how many of them will be able to actually perform combat missions? And the cost of operation and maintenance on the aircraft carrier itself, where will they stand? This plane will never be the main one. Too expensive and in general its effectiveness is a big question.

[Bashkaus]

Yes, I also wanted to take a ride on this phrase. If we translate it into Russian, it turns out something like this: "we created a flying crap, but it's easier to build a new aircraft carrier for it than to bring it to mind"

That's even the Chinese admit that if the T50 and F35 meet in real combat, then the F35 is doomed to die . Build - build, cut money, cut money. Soon you will overdo it and you will not be up to planes

[Burbulator]

Well, on paper, the Russians have long been doing everything.

Well, actually with the T50, which is just being created and it is not known how many problems it will reveal as a result of further tests, the enemy will be F22, which really is, which will still be modernized.
Therefore, to compare an existing thing with a non-existing one, I consider it a stupid occupation.

[Bashkaus]

what's the difference, the T50 will have problems or not (although they definitely are and will be) when even the Su35 can successfully troll the F22 raptor. Of course, he (Su35) won’t be a winner, only a fight with such an opponent is more expensive for himself.

Considering that our 4 ++ do 5 of them before they enter the air-to-air missile strike zone, we continue to be proud of ours. This is for weapons.

The design is also a lot of questions. As in avionics. The use of a single IMHO engine does not increase survival. But the main drawback of the F35 is of course the price.

[Nayhas]

"Considering that our 4 ++ make 5 of them before they enter the range of their air-to-air missiles" - in your imagination, probably yes.

[patsantre]

You probably personally did?

[JonnyT]

Wait and see!

[Vtel]

All the same, it will "crack". They lick him painfully, they are afraid of losing money.

[Canep]

In general, about a trillion bucks has been invested in the F-35 program, and no one will say how much time or money is needed. If they want to pay back the development, then when ordering 1000 aircraft, the price of one will be more than a billion bucks.

[patsantre]

Read even more murzilka, a trillion is the cost of the entire program, which will continue for at least another 20 years.

Read the performance characteristics of the air-to-air weapons of ours and Americans. Learn a lot of new things.

[patsantre]

You probably don’t know, but before you shoot the racket, you also need to find the target. Need to explain that the inconspicuous raptor will see the Su-35 much earlier?
Oh yes, the performance characteristics of missiles. Aim-120S has a range of 180 km, RVV-SD 120 km.
R-77? 300km? Given its overload, it is only against aircraft AWACS and KR.

[Nayhas]

It’s still a matter of homing. Those. in the ability of the ARLGSN of the V-V missile to independently detect the target, because the airborne radar does not support the entire site. It is clear that for radars of small diameter the capabilities are much more modest than for airborne radars, and here the magnitude of the EPR of the target is of great importance.

Yep, exactly!!! directly to the Basmanny. Have you ever thought that our "miracle workers" paid at least a penny "for copyright infringement" when they produced a "revolver", a "maxim" machine gun, a Makarov pistol, a Tu-4 bomber and many, many things, including including the atomic bomb?
