F-35 Fighter Jets ‘Mission Capable’ Only 55% of the Time, Watchdog Report Finds
https://www.defense-aerospace.com/f-35-availabilit.....laws-bite/ Citat:A US Marine Corps F-35B aircraft hovering. On Thursday, the GAO reported that F-35 aircraft can only fly 55% of the time, but also that the Full Mission Capable rates for all three variants has dropped to near zero. GAO says one of the causes is that the Pentagon has surrendered control of their maintenance to industry.
Naslov i članak nista isto. Kako ja vidim 55% jim može da leti.... , a borbeno sposobni The report states the GAO spoke to military maintenance staff at three military bases who said they were not allowed to look up spare part numbers for the F-35 because the [b]proprietary database was controlled by Lockheed Martin, the company that makes the jets.[/b]

Moment Flare Released From F-35 Captured In Remarkable Photo — Among its many defensive aids, the stealthy F-35 features traditional expendable infrared countermeasures housed behind doors.
The photo in question was taken on September 30 at the Pacific Airshow over Huntington Beach, California, which features an air display that takes place directly over the water. As to the aircraft, this is the Lightning II from the U.S. Air Force’s F-35A Demonstration Team. You can read more about that team, and its pilot for this season, Maj. Kristin “Beo” Wolfe, in this previous War Zone story. Clearly evident below the rear fuselage of the jet is a small door, behind which a flare cartridge is seen in the process of ejection, just before it spools away and ignites in a fiery ball, as in the photo below.
Citat:Pratt & Vhitnei - Džen Latka, potpredsednik kompanije za programe F135, dao je sledeću izjavu:
„Motor je radio izuzetno dobro godinama i daleko iznad originalnih specifikacija koje je naveo kupac. Tokom programa, F-35 je doživeo tri blok nadogradnje koje su dale mlaznjaku više mogućnosti, ali nije bilo nadogradnja motora da bi se podržala snaga i hlađenje zahteva te dodatne mogućnosti. Dok trenutni F135 isporučuje performanse koje u potpunosti omogućavaju današnje zahteve F-35, motor se sada mora modernizovati da bi podržao sledeću rundu nadogradnje mlaznjaka. Nadogradnja jezgra motora će dati F135 ono što mu je potrebno da ispuni ili premaši sve buduće zahteve Bloka 4 za F-35."
Ma nemaju uopste problema Blok2/3 sa pregrevanjem:-)
