F-35 developers talked about the "economy" of these aircraft

129
The more often in the camp of the US allies, doubts are voiced about the feasibility of purchasing multi-purpose X-NUMX fighters of the F-5 generation, the more actively American propaganda aimed at pushing contracts comes into play. So, at the international air show that opened in Farnborough, it was stated that the American F-35, for all their high prices, in fact “allow them to save money”.

F-35 developers talked about the "economy" of these aircraft


Thus, a special report was published concerning the use of F-35 aircraft in the Italian Air Force and other NATO countries. It must be recalled here that in the Italian Cameri (Piedmont region), an F-35 is being assembled in an enterprise called FACO. The report, prepared specifically for dubbing at the Farnborough air show, states that if the Italian Air Force used F-2011 aircraft in 35 in Libya, the savings in the operation for the Italian military budget would be about 100 million euros. It is also said about saving when using Italian air bases for F-35. Reported by the American information portal Defense News.

In 2011, during the NATO joint operation against Libya, Italy first provided its allies in the military bloc with seven of its bases, and then joined the air attacks itself, using military aircraft in 12 operation.

Now the speakers for the promotion of F-35 decided to "analyze" what "how profitable" would be for Italy to use the latest American F-35 aircraft in such operations. The report notes that if the F-35 was then in the Italian Air Force, "the operation could have been carried out with smaller forces."

Some strange analytical calculations of those who prepared such a report. Approximately with the same success it can be stated that if the Allies had had F-35 during the Second World War, then the cost of the war against Nazi Germany would have been less, and the war itself would have ended faster ...

The F-35 report on the “economy” looks more like an advertising campaign from the developers of this very “raw” combat vehicle, which the USA is trying to promote by hook or by crook on the world market.

        It will be possible to judge the F-35 when it destroys Iranian objects covered by the latest version of the S-300. But even then they will write on this resource that the F-35 is a child prodigy and he was lucky that the stupid Iranians could not use the best technology in the world.

      There is some truth in them. The F-35 was conceived as a versatile combat unit. And a fighter-interceptor, a front-line bomber, and an attack aircraft - all rolled into one. Three modifications of the F-35 were originally supposed to be a single replacement for almost all combat aircraft of previous generations, not only of the US Air Force, but also of their NATO allies. If everything went right, then the purchase of one aircraft instead of a whole line of different ones would help to save the state budget ...

      But ... Not a single, even the most thoughtful plan, can withstand a collision with the harsh reality. The F-35 "Penguin" today is not capable of fully performing either the functions of an interceptor, or an attack aircraft, or a near bomber.

        The idea of ​​making three in one is an initially failed idea. How many times already in aviation have such attempts been made and all ended in failure. Recall at least attempts to use the I-153 as an attack aircraft at the beginning of the war ... Nothing good. But the IL-2 was a legendary machine. So now, the American lohkid martin was hardly aware of the utopianism of their idea, but competent PR, a bribe to lobbyists who need a woo-a-la contract in their pocket. Yes, what a CONTRACT! So much money for cutting Serdyukova with Vasilyeva, even in her wildest dreams, could not have imagined!

          In addition, there is a clear fading of American leadership in the technological field. So much for liberal American schools, the nation is clearly becoming dumb. If earlier (40-70s) they did an excellent job with the creation of new technology, such legends as F-4 or F-15, now they are starting to slip. Let these planes were no better than ours, but they were worthy opponents. A clear decline is also visible in the space sphere; they are no longer able to send a person into space. Now their tantrums are clear regarding Russia for any reason, they feel the beginning of the end.

        Is everyone? F-16 (fighter-bomber), f / A-18 only the usual hornet (similar), av-8 (svpp), and another a-10 but here the issue of writing off attack aircraft as a form of aviation is more. And at the moment, no one writes them off until at least 20 years.
        So I do not see the cancellation of all kinds. Basically, one fighter-bomber changes another. F15 and f-22 etc. remain

          Nobody will write off the F-22. Of course, the "old" aircraft will still serve, and not only until 2020, until the "Penguins" come to replace them. The F-15 and F-16, despite the fact that these are vehicles of different weight categories, will gradually be replaced by the F-35A. F / A-18 - on the F-35C. AV-8 - on the F-35B. Well, at least if the Pentagon doesn't change its mind.

          By the way, "our favorite" F-35 has recently been harshly fucked by McCain! McCain, Karl! The same senator who flatteringly praised this flying vessel a couple of years ago.

            F-15 to f-35 do not change. Only f-16 when it comes to the air force.
            And why are the F-16s different? All aircraft are of the same class.

                I think you are weakly interested in the topic.
                On March 1, the Kampflybloggen website (the official blog of the Joint Strike Fighter NATO Air Force Rearmament Program under the Norwegian Ministry of Defense) posted a text by Major Morten Hansche, who in November 2015 became the first Norwegian to fly an F-35 Lightning II. The pilot serves as an instructor at the US Air Force Base in Arizona. In his text, the tester called on "those who doubt" and criticized the conclusions about the poor qualities of the aircraft in close combat.
                “This plane is special! Those who call him a bomber will be surprised a lot when they see him, ”Hanshe writes in the English version of his text. Hanshe rebuked those who call the multifunctional aircraft a "bomber", and those who hint that it is not suitable for fights with other aircraft. “My opinion is that this is a plane that allows me to be ahead and behave more aggressively than is possible on the F-16,” Hanshe admits. So, Hanshe believes that the F-35 is capable of flying at much greater angles of attack, than F-16.
                "The improved ability to aim at the enemy allows me to use ammunition faster than I used to do it on the F-16," writes Hansha, who had flown on a fighter of the previous generation for more than 2 hours.
                At the limiting angles of attack, the F-35 reacts faster to pressing the pedals, which deflect the nose of the aircraft to the side, Hanshe writes.
                In a report, Hanshe points out the possibility of the F-35 shedding speed significantly faster than the F-16. “It may be difficult to understand why a fighter should be able to“ brake ”quickly,” writes the pilot. - During the attack, it is extremely important at which point I direct my nose at the enemy, who turns in my direction. At this moment, the distance between the aircraft is rapidly decreasing. The ability to slow down faster allows me to stay aimed at the enemy longer, which in turn gives a greater opportunity to open fire on him until the defensive and attacking positions change roles. ”

                      And what will it give? If the plane brakes well when the nose is deflected, then this is bad - it loses speed well in the bend.

      This is a situation about which I repeatedly repeat that customers require new equipment operation parameters, and science in one place (low potential). Therefore, frankly they all lie !!! Science became paid up and ceased to be independent in the aspect of free development. It is simply impossible to offer something new that does not fit into the concept of a modern worldview. At the same time, people became hostage to dogma and stereotypes. Therefore, scientists and manipulate and PR that which is not and cannot be. And after me even a flood, they suppose.

              I did not read such an attitude to the F-35 because we well understand that this is just one of the AOI tools and nothing more. In general, I have never met an explanation why the F-35 is a bad plane. Excellent glider with maneuverability at the F-16 level. Breakthrough avionics. Exceptional availability of all components for repair services. Powerful engine. Excellent stealth performance.

    Give the opinions of our pilots and designers who criticize him and laugh at him. Lightning goes through the stage of childhood diseases.
    in order to seriously criticize shortcomings 35 you need to have access to the results of test flights of this aircraft, and not to use the gossip paid by the American counterintelligence media and Experts.
    This is reminiscent of the statements of Ukrainian experds about Armata, not having access to classified information, relying on the opinions of experts (the same Pasha) who, in appearance, establish characteristics and conclude that Ukrainian developments are no worse.

    In history, there are many cases where underestimating the enemy led to an unpleasant result, for example, a sad acquaintance of the Germans with the T-34 and KV, Katyusha. because they did not believe that subhuman could do this in such volumes. do not be like them.

      This is for those who catch up with the results of test flights. But physics speaks for itself that it is impossible to achieve at least any savings, especially in combat conditions, if all the basic physical principles and design principles in their implementation do not contribute to this. Therefore, on these engines, there is no talk about anything further progress in increasing speed and, especially, saving.

        And combat conditions and saving things are difficult to compatible. for example, t-50 is more expensive than instant 29, but it is needed. (did not understand the relationship between physical principles, design implementations, and economics)
        And about the engines, are you sure that they do not develop other engines like on the t-50?

          And I'm telling you that the T-50 engines operate on physical algorithms that do not allow either increasing the rotation speed of the "rotor" or increasing the temperature in the combustion chamber. I do not need to see the engine at all to understand that the limits of its capabilities have already been reached. The essence of the final result will not change from the fact that each specialist will speak about the merits of their products. It is necessary to see and understand why wave processes occur on the blades and why increase the temperature in the combustion chamber at all, when all this can be done differently and at the same time expand the limits of non-destructive rotation of the rotor. And amers have the same problems. Physics dear, does not allow amateurism.

              Does your day or life not go through processes differentiated in analysis, which are regular and are called algorithms in their sequence, cyclicity, symmetry? And while these processes are repeated in a new quality process. Apparently you just did not think about it. Therefore, in the process of moving the hydro-gas-dynamic flow along the blade, from the contact of the exaggerated point of this flow to its exit or disruption from the blade, all these are algorithms. Because each point has its own location and location and direction vector and energy and much more.

      And what is there, from series to series, the price drops.
      On July 7, Lockheed Martin said it expected to reach an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense on the supply of 160 F-35 fighter jets worth $ 15 billion in the near future.
      Lockheed’s F-35 Program Manager, Jeff Babione, told reporters that negotiations on the 9th and 10th shipments of aircraft are “very, very encouraging.” The price of one F-35A aircraft in the 10th installment will drop to less than $ 100 million.
      The company further stated that it continues to work to further reduce the price of one fighter to $ 85 million by 2019. At the same time, on July 7, the US Department of Defense issued United Technologies Corp (namely its Pratt & Whitney Military Engines military unit) a fixed price contract for $ 1,51 billion to produce another batch of turbofan F135-PW-100 / PW-600 to equip F-35 fighters.
      These funds will be used to purchase components, spare parts and materials for the start of production of the 10th small batch of engines - 44 F135-PW-100 for the F-35A Air Force, four F135-PW-100 for the F-35C Navy and nine F-135-PW -600 for the F-35B Marine Corps. In addition, the allocated funds will be used to prepare the production of 36 F135-PW-100 engines and four F135-PW-600 engines for aircraft of foreign customers.
      Work will be carried out at facilities in East Harford (Connecticut, 89%), Indianapolis (Indiana, 8%) and Bristol (UK, 3%).
      According to some estimates, the price of one engine is up to $ 15,25 million (probably the maximum price for the version F-135-PW-600 is approx. Military Parity). The US Air Force F-35 Program Management says the price of one engine in a new batch is 4,2% less than in the previous batch. Some media reported that the cost of one engine should be reduced to $ 9 million.

    Wiki: The F-35 was chosen in 2001 as a result of a JSF (Joint Strike Fighter, single strike fighter) contest between Boeing (model X-32) and Lockheed Martin (model X-35). The program provided for the creation of a single model fighter for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps with the possibility of vertical and short take-off and landing to replace the F-16, A-10, F / A-18, AV-8B. The British Sea Harrier will also be replaced. The third model (McDonnell Douglas) was rejected due to the complexity of the design.

          therefore, inside the plane there was nothing but an engine that barely lifted itself,
          and the competition was completely puffy, because everything was just done in the USSR

      The F-35 is replacing the F-16. It works on the ground much more efficiently than the F-16, due to network-centric interaction in real time with ground forces and stealth for enemy air defense. The F-35 pilot "sees" a 360 ° panoramic virtual space. around the plane, no need to turn your head as before. More time remains on
      control "weapons" (strikes on the ground), less on the control of the aircraft.
      Like the F-16, it can conduct air combat, but is not intended to gain air supremacy.
