Two cracks detected on F-35B

Lockheed Martin and the F-35 Joint Program Management reported that two structural cracks in the airframe bulkheads were detected during static tests of the F-35B aircraft version with a vertical landing, reported October at flightglobal.com.

It is reported that this discovery will not affect the flight tests of the F-35B, which should acquire the status of initial operational readiness in 2015 as part of aviation US Marine Corps. Cracks are characterized as “minor” and were discovered in August of this year after 9400 hours of static testing, which corresponds to approximately 17 years of operation. Testing was suspended on September 29 for the purpose of analysis. It is expected that some 50 aircraft of this version will need a little repair. It is reported that reinforcing bulkheads will add no more than two pounds (less than 1 kg) to the weight of the glider.

The Pentagon requires hours of flight from the developers of 8000, then after major repairs this time should increase to 16000 hours. "The purpose of the test is to determine the design constraints for their subsequent elimination," the report says.

The detected cracks will in no way affect the course of flight tests of the F-35A variants for the Air Force and the F-35C for the Navy.

one along each wing. Advanced aircraft can fly without wings

So what ? Look, on the Max, the t-50 had interruptions with the engine, which didn’t even take off, and what to stop production? I advise the Russians to look into their garden, the Americans will figure it out and correct the flaws in this, I'm 100% sure !!!

tell "honest Jew" why the representatives of your people do not like Russia and Russians so much. What have we done wrong to you? After all, throughout history Russia has only done good to you. Even before power in 1917, in Russia itself, they were allowed and then freed from the Oswiec from the evil Germans and Stalin helped you create your own statesmen for once, and now you can all live in it, But no .. All that rebellious Jewish soul is missing. And all opposition in Russia is made up of Jews and all Aligarhs are Jews, what else should Russia do for your restless people so that you stop hating and slandering it on all sites and wherever possible ..

And absolutely nobody "understands" that the same "Old Russian" surname has Harvey Potkin, president of National Foods in New York, a kosher food company; businessman Potkin is engaged in obtaining a certificate from the rabbinate for kosher sausages. Another owner of the "Old Russian" surname, Vanessa Potkin from Georgia, according to the local Jewish newspaper The Juish Times, participates in Jewish charity. Lives in London too Potkin; he actively participates in pickets near the Russian embassy in protest against the support of the Iranian regime by Putin.

1. Hotels are usually built by private investors. What is the fright in it budget bulbs?
2. How many cars can be filled with 480 million light bulbs? And if they all fit inside this hotel, I'm not talking about whether there will be room for guests.

Why are you so caught up in the word "structural"? Journalists might not have come up with such a thing.
Therefore, as my scientific adviser said, I always use the primary sources, so that later I would not be ashamed of the mistakes of others. So in the original news there is no word about
"structural"

There is an old joke about assembling airplanes, where the old collector, Uncle Vasya, explained to the young intern why he makes holes at the junction of the wing and fuselage with a puncher ... Where, says, did you see toilet paper tear along perforations, for example?

The Americans bought a plane from Russia and began to assemble it according to the documentation. Collect collect collect the locomotive. they don’t understand, they dismantled it.

I’m even curious as to why all the news about the F-35 is given in a negative context.
This is a normal test, and the plan was even exceeded 9400 hours, which is enough for 17 years at 550 hours of flying per year, which lots of (with a standard of 300-400 hours per year), and the project requirement was 8000 hours.
Lockheed further commented that the problem could be corrected by design changes that would add less than 2 lb (0,9 kg) to the aircraft's mass. Changes are planned for machines starting with the LRIP-VIII series, as the requirement is at 8000.

Well, the offer is accepted. F-35 is the 5 generation fighter-bomber (so far, however, it pulls only on 4 +), created using stealth technology. It is assumed that this will be a single aircraft for the Air Force, Navy, MP Corps, which, after its completion, should replace the F-16, A-10, F / A-18, AV-8В, English "Harrier".
But its main advantage is the possibility of vertical landing on the ship, after completing the knowledge base. This is an indispensable quality of an aircraft if the AVU aerofinisher is out of order. Already built 72 units, each at a price of 56,4 million dollars. It is going to buy the United States, England, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway. Originally intended to build 3055 units.
Its advantages include:
- A single engine that allows you to fly with V = 1900 km / h, providing R battles. = 1140 km. and 2,6 hours of patrol;
- the possibility of an afterburning flight at supersonic 1,2M about 240 km.
- the ability to carry 2 YB type B-61, power 0,3 - 340kt; or about 8 tons of bomb load on 10 (4 - internal, 6 - external) suspension units.
F-35 has the latest avionics. It includes.
- Radar station with AFAR AN / APG-81.
- Electron-optical system AN / AAQ-37- with a distributed aperture, consisting of 6 IR sensors located on the fuselage with a viewing range of 360 degrees. The system allows you to:
- Identify group launches of ballistic missiles at ranges up to 1300 km, accompany these targets and issue target designation for each of them in automatic mode.
- Detect other ground and air targets
- Navigate during day / night flight
- Warn about an aircraft missile attack
- Detect rocket launch points, operating anti-aircraft artillery positions
- Launch an air-to-air missile against a target flying behind an airplane.
- An omnidirectional infrared CCD-TV camera of high resolution, designed for surveillance and target designation. It provides capture and tracking of any ground, surface and air targets. Completely passive, it is able to detect and track targets in automatic mode and at long distances, as well as report laser radiation to the aircraft.
- station of individual interference (REP) (Barracuda)
- widescreen touchscreen display information display (50 to 20 centimeters), voice control is also possible.
- Helmet system of target designation and indication, it is possible to control the look and turn of the head. This is a helmet that will allow you to "see through the cockpit" of the aircraft. Instead of a conventional display on the dashboard, a computer-synthesized image will be fed directly to the pilot's visors, providing him with the prompts necessary for flight, navigation and combat. A fundamentally new technology was the realization of the possibility of vision in the infrared range, that is, with the help of a helmet, the pilot will be able to see even at night. The helmet allows you to automatically switch between video modes. In fact, the aircraft can become “transparent” to the pilot. Also, the helmet is a kind of command center: high-precision target designation of all airborne weapons is tied to the movements of the pilot's head and eyes.
He also has drawbacks.Here are some of them: - insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio (0,7 — 0,8);
- the inability without afterburner to have supersonic cruising speed;
- the inability to withstand our S-400 air defense system;
- price increase by 2 times compared to the initial one and a delay of 7 years with the term of its final availability.

[Mr. Tyler]

Citizens of Russia, who call to ban everyone and everything, are you sane? For all the badness of the F35 in all its versions, you don't see one. They work, they are not afraid to show their problems, they bring their ideas to the end. It's not about who and what is cutting, to what extent, the essence of the problem is in the approach to business. Yes, T50 is closer to us, for it is ours, each praises his own, they are theirs, we are ours. Mr. Honest Jew, with Jewish malice, which is characteristic of this nation, that he wrote: "Lord Ivans, do not rejoice in other people's failures, solve your problems." Our pride, T50, did not take off at our air show, our missiles ... do not take off, we have formed the largest grouping of spuntik on the ocean floor ... our Kalashnikov is bankrupt, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation is being abolished, Serdyukov has not sat and will not sit down and because we have the rule of law ... ".
For our country to be strong, it must be strong with its people, its economy, its science and technology, for us stability is considered an achievement in itself (open the textbook on recent history, the period of Brezhnev’s rule, there are a lot of things written about stability). And here we have a swamp. Direct your energy in the direction of change in a positive direction. It’s easiest to point with a finger and not see the logs. But to work on yourself, to improve the situation for the better, is something not really who wants to.

[alone]

oh, Dmitry, now they will make of you an enemy of the people and the state, how could you write such a thing here?

[Mr. Tyler]

Can. If a person is free within himself, he will not be stopped by “shouts from the crowd”. People should think about everything that is happening around them, be aware, and not affably wave their caps on the news from the mouthpiece.
If uninvited guests come to us, then shouting will not go far. As of today, we are not capable of opposing either China in the field of conventional weapons, let alone the United States. And our enemies do not use the methods of direct local wars, they weaken us from within, by external factors, and worst of all, when our own policy weakens us. To put it another way, Putin did a lot, but in the light of the country's further development, wouldn't it be better for him to leave, because if he turns out to be "Our Lukashenko" and there will be another, albeit a small putsch, riot, revolution, I do not think that ours is with you the country will generally remain ... Patriotism is not an irrational faith, it is a conscious love for one's country, but it also obliges us to make it better.

typical cheers. From a purely medical point of view, they are quite sane - but to be honest, the odds are that someone will turn out to be someone like Anatoly Karpov = 0. Even if someone’s position is worthy of condemnation and you don’t agree with it, this does not mean that you need to yell about the bath (if without a mat). This means falling to the level of a dumb cattle who has nothing to argue his position

[de bouillon]

set minus

because the author of the provocateur-vertuhai completely altered the meaning of the article

after reading the text it seems that these cracks appeared suddenly and almost a defect in the design of the aircraft

But actually they were structural tests of a glider !!! Through it passes any aircraft in trials.

PAKFu will be raped, including until they reveal all the possible flaws in the design of the airframe. Every plane goes through this!

all in all, these cracks were revealed in one of the planes that flew 9400 "flight hours", which is about 17 years of active operation and only after them two "small" cracks appeared in the glider. This exceeds the original 8000 hour durability requirement. Nevertheless, this result can be improved - we have already thought of a small change in the design that will make the glider heavier by less than a kilogram.

A properly honest Jew says that one must first deal with his problems, and not discuss such provocative articles. Do not be like grandmothers on benches and do not be hamsters.

[128mgb]

8000 flying hours - what is the life span of an airplane in a modern war? Well, if you do not fight with the Papuans. Purely so to speak, academic interest.

So maybe we’ll completely abandon military aviation?

Thanks to the person depicted on your "avaterk", we almost did it ...

[svp67]

Lockheed Martin and the F-35 Joint Program Management reported that two structural cracks in the airframe bulkheads were detected during static tests of the F-35B aircraft version with a vertical landing, reported October at flightglobal.com.

Conclusion: can not be restored, write off ...

[sergey158-29]

I THINK, if you ask VAFa, then THEM (cracks) and the T-50 are NOT LESS to show up ...

NEW materials and technologies, DO NOT AVOID THIS ...

Quote: Pacifist

Standard test procedure for strength. Nothing special, as well as the test results. The message, by and large about anything.

And on a small account - about nothing. True - I have never seen any of our messages. Maybe it should be that way ... Otherwise, they will create Duma-Senate commissions, they will spend a lot of money ... And the test engineer will tell everyone in the smoking room, they say, "It's not at all clear on such statics how the planes did not fall off ..." There is a lot of noise. empty space ..

[094711601]

The Americans have a well-developed mechanism for pumping out additional allocations for any military project, i.e., after the initial tests, a structural defect is detected, right there, a message appears in the media about minor problems that arose during the tests / this is for taxpayers / , and in high offices agree on additional financing / to whom - how much /. Simple and strict. The main thing for theft is rarely attracted!

[SPACE]

This aircraft has no sense and efficiency, NEVER. A problematic design, an ill-conceived concept, overweight, without a reserve of mass and engine thrust, and therefore without prospects. Yes, of course he will fly and will most likely be adopted, only he is not destined to fight seriously. In short, for them it’s like a suitcase without a handle, it’s hard to drag, it’s a pity to drop it.

[perforator]

Throwing is not only a pity, but also scary. Go then explain to the congress what the hell that so many funds swelled into the unapproachable, and even during the most severe financial crisis.

[bilgesez]

Well, that they pounced on a poor honest Jew, he lives in Israel and does not touch anyone, and let him live. he needs to be bored there and Russian Jews should be sent to him in Israel to let them discuss who wants what, but here they’re not crap.

[Nayhas]

A vivid example of how to present news. Or rather, gentlemen, commentators relate to the topic of F-35, read, not a damn thing to understand, boo. In theory, the news is good (for American taxpayers), the glider will serve much more than planned, and if you strengthen the weaknesses by spending an additional 1 kg., Then even more. The news is that Lockheed Martin engineers laid a safety margin in excess of the required and this margin can be increased without any special costs. Sorry, but those who started the standard street organ about the futility and worthlessness are outspoken fools and gorlopans.
PS: I understand that the comment from my comment will be of little use, because armor in three loaves of bread can not be pierced, so I give occasion once again to mock the F-35: The development of an alternative helmet for the F-35 pilot, which has been working since September 2011, has been stopped BAE Systems company.
If you do not read the whole news, then you can begin to gloatly rub your hands ...

[iwind]

The development of an alternative helmet for the F-35 pilot, which BAE Systems has been involved in since 2011, has been discontinued

You can of course mock it ... But the closure of the program is due to the fact that the main helmet is ready and in the second generation of the main helmet the problems that arose in the first were solved. So with LRIP-7, all F-35s already come with VSI HMDS Gen.II.

[starhina01]

who never fell he never rose one way or another, but they’re working on it

[FlyEngine]

Strange, very strange.
We found two cracks after 9000 (!) Hours of testing, and you began to spit in the direction of this aircraft even more.

And the fact that at our MAKS-2011 our PAK-FA shamefully did not fly up with surging right engine in front of thousands of people is normal, it's okay!

Why are you stubbornly throwing stones at an American plane? Why is the slightest comment on him provokes so much applause? Why OUR problems do not concern you so much as THEIR problems? Why?

[iwind]

I don’t understand either. The plane not only fulfilled the plan, but exceeded it, and after completion I think it will be no less than 10.000.
To the question of 9400 hours, is it a lot or a little? For example, compare with the Su-30MKI / Su-35 airframe resource of 6000 hours for 25 years.

[Mikkado31]

Because throwing poop towards the competitor is more pleasant than raking your own. Rising from the knees in full growth, tax

[Turkestan]

Found Cracks. That’s not seen. There is nothing terrible for this and factory and military tests are carried out. There are cracks on all planes and helicopters. And I’ll open a secret with them flying if they are in the tolerances established by the design bureau. Designers know when they may appear and where. For this, aviation improvements are being carried out to strengthen the fuselage and equipment and thorough repairs to attract the entire operation of the aircraft. An example of the AN-12 has about 2500 improvements half to strengthen the fuselage.
