Citat:A series of GAO reports have documented the “malpractice.” The watchdog agency notes a “high rate of design change” and $373 million in new costs just to “retrofit already produced aircraft to correct deficiencies discovered during testing.”

....

“Aeronautic engineering is still somewhat witchcraft, and you don’t fix problems, you just move them somewhere structurally,” Gen. McPeak said. “When you are trying to meet the requirements of three different groups, it’s just going to be more difficult, more expensive.”

Citat:The problem is in the large head rest that impedes rear visibility and the ability of the pilot to check the aircraft’s 6 o’clock for incoming aerial or surface threats.

Another shortcoming is the aircraft adveniristic helmet mounted display system (HMDS Gen. II), that has not yet solved focal problems, blurry and double vision in the display and misalignment of the virtual horizon display with the actual horizon.

Drugi holandski F-35A AN-2


Citat:The second Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II for the Netherlands rolled out of the F-35 production facility on March 2, 2013. This is the latest step in the production process leading to its eventual assignment to Eglin AFB, Fla., later this summer. The Netherlands is planning to use this conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) jet, known as AN-2, for training and operational tests for pilots and maintainers. AN-2 will undergo functional fuel system checks before being transported to the flight line for ground and flight tests later this year.

Svoj prvi let je imao nov F-35 BF-25


Citat:The first Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II with a Center Wing Assembly (CWA) built at the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Ga., was flown for the first time on March 6, 2013. The aircraft, known as BF-25, is an F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing variant that will be delivered to the U. S. Marine Corps at Yuma, Arizona. The CWA is a major structural component and represents approximately one quarter of the aircraft’s fuselage. Approximately 350 people work on the F-35 program in Marietta. In addition to building the CWAs, technicians also apply specialized stealth coatings to F-35 horizontal and vertical tail control assemblies and also coat spare and repaired aircraft doors, panels and covers.

ltcolonel, 1199 i Ranxerox su pisali o objektivnosti časopisa koji se bave avijacijom, pre svega američkih...

Činjenica je da zapadnjaci F-35 svim silama žele da postave u centar zbivanja. Donekle je to razumljivo, ovo je verovatno trenutno najinteresantniji projekat, i sigurno jedan od najvećih koji je zašao u praktično finalnu fazu. Normalno da tu ima i lokalpatriotizma, pojačanog interesovanja u zemljama koje su uključene u rad na njemu, a kojima je takva štampa pre svega i namenjena. Verovatno će i onima koji budu listali te magazine kroz dvadesetak godina najveću pažnju privlačiti detalji razvoja i nekadašnji pogledi na avion koji će tada (verovatno) biti u svom zenitu.

Ipak, nesporno je da u Kombat Erkraftu koji pratim poslednjih godina ima nesrazmerno mnogo kvantiteta u odnosu na kvalitet kada je F-35 u pitanju... taj časopis na momente podseća na čistu (i površnu) reklamu programa.

Bude se asocijacije na nemačku automobilističku štampu: niko ne spori kvalitet Auto Motor Und Sporta ili Auto Cajtunga, ali na uporednim testovima crvena farba na Golfu je uvek crvenija nego kod ostalih i to donosi odlučujuće bodove...

Jet Fighter Influence: How Lockheed’s Public Relations Efforts Keep the F-35 Sold
[Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]
Citat:Sometime in the spring of 2012 Al Bunting received a message imploring him to publicly endorse America’s warplane of the future.
Bunting, a retired senior Air Force officer and administrator for the tiny New Jersey coastal town of Sea Girt, was not alone. Across the Garden State in 2011 and 2012, government officials, political organizers and even religious leaders received similar messages, all asking for the recipient to speak out on behalf of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, meant to replace thousands of existing U.S. warplanes at an immediate cost of more than $400 billion. The plane had run into serious technical problems that heaped cost and delays onto the program, and needed a public boost.
Tako radi PR LM-a.
F-35 Ops, Engine Under Scrutiny

Citat:Bogdan's concerns about Pratt are not limited to engine performance; he also expresses continued frustration with the aircraft prime and engine maker over their approach to contract negotiations. “What I see Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney doing today is behaving as if they are getting ready to sell the very last F-35 and the very last engine, and are trying to squeeze every nickel out of that last engine and that last airplane,” Bogdan told reporters at the Australian International Airshow near Melbourne last week. “The behavior I want to see is that they want to and intend on and are knowledgeable that they are going to sell 3,000 airplanes and 3,000 engines, and take the long view on this program.”
He complains that the low-rate, initial-production Lot 5 negotiations with Pratt & Whitney have been delayed six months because of disagreement on the award fee. “You would think that a company like Pratt & Whitney that was just given the greatest Christmas gift [the exclusion of competitors General Electric and Rolls-Royce from the program] you could ever, ever, ever get for a company would act a little differently,” he said.
A tako se ponašaju.
Kada smo bili u socializmu smo gutali priće da je monopol loša stvar, sve je u konkurenciji. A sada kada Ameri imaju za sebe i saveznike JEDAN avion, sa JEDNIM motorom i on MORA da prođe.
I mi sada opet treba da gutamo priću da su opet u pravu.
Monopol i konkurencija imaju svoja pravila i u kom sistemu je nema veze. Kada ćitam komentare na DEFENCE TALK-u, bit će, mora..itd, (svima je jasno, da drugog rešenja nema) se u tom pogledu mogu samo dase nasmijem. Kroz ovo sam već prošao.
Avionu svašta fali, skup i kako piše u članku i kod cene održavanja nisu na istom broju. A LM i PW se ponašaju u skladu sa situacijom.

Sprega politika - novinarstvo. Ništa čudno LM nije učinio, a ni ovi što pišu o tome. Za šta bih rekao rekao bih business as usual.
