The US Air Force banned pilots with low weight to fly the F-35

93
The Air Force Command has banned pilots with a body weight up to 61 kg from flying the newest F-35 fighter aircraft, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to the resource Defense News (DN).

The US Air Force banned pilots with low weight to fly the F-35


"The ban is related to the fact that the ejection seats of pilots, designed specifically for the F-35 Lightning II by the British company Martin-Baker, revealed a significant malfunction during the tests, which could lead to serious injury or even death of the pilot," writes the publication .

The tests found that when a pilot weighing up to 61 kg sits in this chair, "it changes its position very slightly, which, if ejected, can lead to a neck injury."

According to the resource, "the risk is particularly increased at the time of opening the parachute of the ejection system." In addition, the risk of injury increases if the plane flies at low speed during the ejection.

The "weight" embargo "of the Pentagon will continue until British manufacturers correct the design flaws of the fighter seats. According to the terms of reference, they must ensure the normal ejection of pilots with a body weight from 46,7 to kilogram 111,1 "- notes the publication.

The DN reports that the “F-35 seat is equipped with two rocket launch engines, throwing it along with the pilot as far as possible from the aircraft,” while the parachute can be opened manually or automatically.

                Among the American pilots there are many tall, hence the weight (which increases the uniform, helmet, etc.).
                It’s even hard to say who the lower bounds are for - it looks like some kind of Asian women. But TK is TK.

              laughing what overload? it has so many restrictions (at the moment) when piloting it is only official, that if all of them are fulfilled then it’s hard to call a fighter aircraft. It seems that the car is so damp and has not passed all the tests and is constantly improving something or, as an option, the little dough was recaptured (for development) and sawn, now it’s still shaking for revision. although it is difficult to imagine pilots with a body weight of 46,7 and a little higher according to the technical task, and 61 is still acceptable.

        normal color sensation;
        visual acuity not lower than 1,0 in each eye without correction;
        blood pressure not higher than 130/80 and not lower than 105/60 mm
        mercury column;

          This is not a lecturer, in my opinion it is not even visible to the naked eye. Where did this miracle come from is not clear, maybe a joke? In recent years, the number of US troops laid off due to being overweight has increased more than tenfold. According to the military, even people with a sporty physique cannot go through a rigorous selection process. The Pentagon insists that overweight people almost always fail in sports standards, which means they are not ready for hostilities.
          A test that determines compliance with physical fitness standards, the US military passes twice a year. If this indicator does not correspond to the norm, the soldier will not be able to advance in the service. If he cannot pass the test three times in a row, he may be fired. hi

    They were redesigned, invented.

    And not a lot of humor:

    01.04.2002, 4: 30. Saudi Arabia. US Air Force Base.

    Lieutenant John Falcon for the last time waved his hand to his comrades and climbed into the cockpit. A sense of pride filled him. He would have been entrusted with such an honor! He learned about this from General Break, who said:
    “You are entrusted with a great honor, Lieutenant.” You will complete your first sortie on the newest top-secret F-22M aircraft.
    - Does "M" mean modified? - said Falcon.
    “M stands for Microsoft,” the general replied. - The plane was completely re-equipped by these guys. They assure that now anyone can perform combat missions. But we chose you for the first time as one of our best pilots. You will have to destroy the Iraqi nuclear center.
    “You can send condolences to Saddam now, sir,” Folcon answered.
    The lieutenant as usual snapped the seat belts and only then noticed that the dashboard was noticeably different from the standard one. There were fewer devices, but a two-button mouse, for some reason, metal, rested in the vacant place. Falcon shrugged and switched on the general power supply. On the transparent frontal screen, against the background of the sky with rare clouds opening from the cockpit, the inscription appeared: "Microsoft Winwars 2002". Then the engines started working by themselves, and the flaps lowered into the takeoff position.
    - Congratulations on your purchase of Winwars 2002! - said the screen. - Now the war will become much more convenient, your killability will decrease, and the hit rate of targets will increase! Tip of the day: release the landing gear before landing.
    “Eagle-1, take-off is allowed,” came the headset.
    “And I haven’t requested yet,” Folcon was surprised.
    “You don’t need it. Plug "n" Play, ”explained ground control.
    The plane, rapidly gaining speed, rushed along the strip and was soon in the air.
    “Now Winwars 2002 will install your ammunition for the selected target,” the system said. - Selected target: Iraqi nuclear center.
    For fun, Falcon clicked the "edit" button and saw a long list, which, among other objects around the world, featured the White House and the base from which he had just flown. Falcon hurriedly pressed cancel.
    - Select the type of installation:
    - Minimum - only bombs will be dropped on the object,
    - Normal - bombs and missiles will be dropped on the object,
    - Full - the entire aircraft will be dropped onto the object.
    By default, the system offered the second option, and Folkon, glancing apprehensively at the third, decided not to argue with her.
    - Now the performance testing of your machine will be conducted. Close your eyes to avoid damage when changing modes.
    Engines roared in the afterburner, and Folkon's eyes really almost jumped out of their sockets from a monstrous overload. The real hell began: the plane was thrown in all directions, it was torn off in steep peaks and laid unthinkable turns ... Finally, the lieutenant regained consciousness; the darkness before his eyes vanished, and he saw the mouse dangling all over the cabin again fell into place.
    “You use a Lockheed F-22 with two Pratt-Whitney engines,” the system said calmly. - Maximum speed of 1451 miles per hour. Tip of the day: do not increase the turbine clock speed above the value specified by the manufacturer. Estimated installation time is 0:34:16.

      Same day, 4: 52. The sky over Iraq.

      At the bottom of the screen a blue percentage bar crept slowly. The system, meanwhile, advertised Winwars for tanks, submarines, and marines, and promised everyone who purchased the aircraft version a free "Kamikaze 1.01" applet. The change of pictures made Falcon sleepy; the sound of a buzzer brought him out of his drowsy state. There was a green dot on the radar.
      - A new device was discovered: the enemy’s plane! - joyfully informed the system.
      Falcon was about to perform a standard combat turn, but then he noticed the "Delete" button and clicked on it with the mouse.
      “Are you sure you want to remove the enemy’s plane?” - the system suspiciously inquired.
      - Still would! Falcon called Yes and the Iraqi fighter jet disappeared from radar. - So fast? the lieutenant was surprised. - Well, Microsoft gives!
      He even respectfully began to study the Winwars advertisement for disabled pilots that appeared on the screen, but he was distracted from this activity by a rocket flying over the cockpit itself. Folkon turned in disbelief and saw an Iraqi interceptor.
      - What are you, your mother ... - exclaimed Falcon and only then saw that a drawn tail of an airplane was sticking out of an inconspicuous RecycleBin icon in the corner of the screen. The lieutenant fiercely clicked on the icon and pressed clear.
      - Are you sure you want to physically remove the enemy’s aircraft? Its restoration will be impossible, the system warned.
      - YES! snapped Folcon, hammering a mouse.
      Sidewinder fell from under the wing and, leaving a white fluffy footprint, rushed towards the interceptor. An explosion flashed, and the burning debris of the enemy machine flew to the ground. However, it was too early to calm down. A flashing sound warned of a new danger.
      - New device discovered: surface-to-air missile! - the system told and fell into thoughtfulness.
      In vain did the Falcon pound on the mouse, watching a sinister dot creep toward the center of the radar. Finally, the system came out of a stupor:
      - I cannot find a driver for this device. Insert the driver disc and click "OK".
      With a curse, Falcon pressed Search.
      “The closest match: hand grenades,” his system rejoiced. - Apply?
      Falcon jerked the handle aside in an anti-missile maneuver. Too late. The plane shuddered from the explosion. With some difficulty bringing the damaged car out of the dive, the pilot clicked on the "System" button. Under the line "Left Wing," there were yellow triangular pads with exclamation marks "Aileron" and "Flap", but otherwise it got off cheap. The blue bar, which continued to crawl below, showed 82%, and he still had a chance to complete the task.
      The radar showed two more enemy aircraft, but they got up behind and Folkon was not particularly bothered. He knew that this Iraqi junk just did not catch up with his super-fast F-22. However, the planes were approaching. Falcon looked at the speedometer in bewilderment and realized that his speed was rapidly dropping.
      - What the hell?! - exclaimed the lieutenant. “The engines are in order, and there is plenty of fuel!”
      The screen, meanwhile, began fiercely blinking with an image of an hourglass. The hands of the instruments moved in short jerks, froze for a long time in one position.
      “Not enough free memory,” the system came to an explanation. - Unload unnecessary tasks.
      1. 0
        7 October 2015 15: 48
        Folkon called up a list of tasks, trying to understand what names like winppl or v666apl mean and which ones are superfluous. Meanwhile, the engines were almost silent, the speed dropped to critical: a little more and the plane would crash down. Stunned by such tactics of aerial combat, the Iraqis whizzed past, one on the left, the other on the right, and, without leaving the stupor, collided in front of Folkon's nose.
        The lieutenant, meanwhile, found the line "Tracking the enemy" in the list, next to which in parentheses read: "[Does not answer]", and pressed "OK". The radar screen went out, but the plane began to pick up speed again. The blue bar was showing 99% ... and finally 100%.
        Falcon stared at the ground in bewilderment: the desert below did not at all resemble the satellite photographs of the nuclear center he had studied. It seemed that the system also understood this, because after the number 100%, 101 appeared ... then 102 ... On 106 the screen was filled with blue, and the inscription appeared: "Error 000000e caused by the VXD0000 (0) module from the VXD0000 (0) module It is possible to continue the flight normally. You can press Eject to eject, or any other key to continue. Note: If you eject, you will lose all unsaved aircraft.
        Falcon had no intention of ejecting yet, especially since the nuclear center finally appeared ahead. Realizing that Microsoft was no longer worth relying on, the lieutenant prepared to carry out the bombing by hand. He steered the plane downward, waiting for the guidance mark to overlap the target. There is! Falcon pressed the button. Something creaked and a new message popped up: "Bomboluk performed an illegal operation and will be closed." With a curse, Falcon pulled the handle towards himself to steer the car up again. But the plane continued to descend rapidly.
        The lieutenant frantically rummaged through the menus with his mouse, looking for the reason. "The joystick is not detected," he finally read. Realizing that only a restart can return the system to a working state, Falcon turned off and turned on the power of the console.
        “The previous flight was completed incorrectly,” the system told him. - Press any key to start checking the integrity of the aircraft.

          - To hell! Falcon barked, pressing Cancel.
          Winwars 2002 splash screen has appeared; the system slowly started to boot. Hundreds of meters remained to the ground.
          “The system is booted in safe mode,” the screen finally told. - In this mode, the functions of flight and use of weapons are disabled, you can only ride on the airfield.
          Realizing that he had no time to do anything else, Falcon blasted "Eject", expecting that the cockpit cap would be shot off now, and then a mighty blow from below would throw it into the air. But instead, another question appeared on the screen:
          “Are you sure you really want to eject?”
          "YES !!!" - Falcon yelled heart-rendingly, looking at the land rushing towards him.
          “Wait, preparations are underway for bailouts,” the system calmly informed and plunged into thought ...

          2.04.2002, 13: 20. Baghdad. Palace of Saddam Hussein.

          “Thus,” the general cheerfully reported, “thanks to the selfless efforts of our pilots, who entered into an unequal battle with the American aggressor, they managed to defend the safety of the nuclear center and the latest secret enemy aircraft was destroyed ...
          - Yes? - the dictator’s heavy gaze rested on the speaker’s face, and he hastily lowered his gaze. - In fact, unequal. Three are against one, and their happiness is that they did not survive, since he still flew to the center. If the center has saved, then only the mercy of Allah.
          The general was covered in cold sweat. He understood that now no mercy of Allah would save him.
          “You have 30 seconds to make excuses,” Saddam said lazily.
          - Here! - exclaimed the general, taking out a shiny CD from a sealed container. “They found it among the wreckage of an airplane.” The pinnacle of American computer technology! The latest military equipment control programs!
          “Well, you have a little chance,” the dictator leaned back in his chair. - In three weeks this should be installed on all combat vehicles of our army.
          “It will be done, Mr. President!” - exclaimed the general ...
          After three weeks and one day, Iraq surrendered unconditionally.

      Yes, it was already similar, only in Korea, when ours trained local pilots to fly.
      As aerobatics begin to twist, so they are chopped off unconscious. They began to sort it out - and the locals only eat rice, and even half a hand, because of this there was not enough strength to endure overloads.
      They began to forcefully feed meat and make sure everyone ate from the tray - after three weeks they ceased to lose consciousness. Ate, damn it.

        On May 17, 1945 S.N. Anokhin performed control tests of the Yak-3 fighter for strength. The destruction of the aircraft was not foreseen, but it was not ruled out either. I had to do 12 modes with overloads. In the third mode, Sergei Nikolaevich did not turn on the recorder. It turned out that 13 modes would have to be performed. The number '13' justified its ill fame: in the fifth mode, the wing of the plane broke off. It took the pilot a great deal of effort and self-control to drop the flashlight and parachute out of the plane randomly falling to the ground. SN Anokhin was seriously injured and lost his left eye.
        Two months later, after leaving the hospital, the pilot faced a choice of his future life path. The solution is clear: just fly! And the long months of intense training begin. S.N. Anokhin in every way develops deep vision. And these efforts were not in vain. Already in December 1945, he returned to flight test work at the Flight Research Institute and immediately connected to the most complex and critical tests. Only in August 1962 S.N. Anokhin was written off for health reasons from flight test work.

    The tests found that when a pilot weighing up to 61 kg sits in this chair, "it changes its position very slightly, which, if ejected, can lead to a neck injury."

      I wonder how this was found out. Such a flaw in theory pops up only in practice.

      To test the ejection seat of the US16E pilot, we used a special railway trolley with jet engines (ours are tested the same way), which almost exactly repeats the nose of the F-35. During the bailout, according to Martin-Baker, about 900 thousand measurements per second were made, which made it possible to find out details about each stage of separation and flight of the pilot's seat.
      Initially, the lower weight limit of normal bailout was 58,1 kg. (Now recommended 61 kg.) Upper - up to 130,6 kilograms. hi

      It reminds the story of a special space writing pen and a simple pencil in space.

      Until the second half of the 60s of the last century, Soviet cosmonauts, conducting various studies during a space flight, made notes on their results with ordinary pencils. Their American counterparts are mechanical pencils or felt-tip pens. They say that in order to radically change the situation and invent a special pen that is guaranteed to work in zero gravity, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) specialists had to spend 200 thousand research man hours and five million dollars over six years . But they only say that. In fact, everything was a little different. Although, as you know, smoke without fire happens. For the invention of such a special pen, which can write in the temperature range from minus 45 to plus 200 degrees Celsius, “upside down” and even in zero gravity, serious money was spent. Not five million, of course, but about a million dollars had to be invested in this so-called “space pen”. True, it was not NASA who invested, but the American inventor Paul Fisher and his company “Fisher Space Pen Company”, which in 1968 proposed to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration a finished product. And the Office only tested it and, gasping with delight, did not just recommend it, but accepted it for widespread use. And looking at the Americans, and our astronauts after some time, too, began to take Paul Fisher’s pen with them into space. What is her secret? And not even one. And as many as four. The first one. Thixotropic fluid is an ink whose viscosity under constant environmental conditions decreases with time. In other words, solid ink is liquefied as soon as the pen is used for its intended purpose and they begin to write with it. The second one. A special cartridge in which ink is under pressure. The pressure, in turn, is provided by compressed nitrogen, pumped into the same container and separated by a sliding float from the ink. The third. The writing pen of Paul Fisher’s pen is made of tungsten carbide, one of the most durable ceramic materials whose hardness is comparable to diamond. Fourth. The ball is installed in the tip of the writing rod with a high degree of accuracy. Or, as techies say, precision. The high degree of accuracy of installation and fitting of the ball eliminates any possibility of leakage of ink. In fact, the pen used today by astronauts around the world is similar to a ballpoint pen created in 1938 by the brothers Laszlo and György Biro, but with their own, very interesting features.
