Government report: USAF lacks info to back A-10 retirement Citat:The Government Accountability Office released a 24 August report stating the USAF does not have enough information to support an A-10 divestment. The GAO report criticises the Air Force’s recent A-10 retirement plan, which would postpone full divestment until 2022. While that plan could mitigate some near-term capacity gaps, the service has not considered the consequences of retiring the A-10 before its expected service life and has not outlined the risks of divestment, the report states.

Citat:The latest budget blueprint has the Air Force beginning to stand down Warthog squadrons in fiscal 2018, with the last aircraft heading to the boneyard in the early 2020s. But the Air Force recently signaled it may once again postpone plans to sunset the A-10, with Secretary Deborah Lee James telling Aviation Week in a recent interview that the air arm is considering keeping the jets in inventory longer than planned.
If this happens, AFMC will be ready. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s A-10 division at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, does most of the maintenance and repair work on the Air Force’s fleet of 283 A-10s, and has drastically improved sustainment over the last year, Pawlikowski said. The A-10s flew nearly 87,000 flight hours worldwide in fiscal 2015, at an aircraft availability rate of 67.9%—a 5% gain over the previous year.
Among other upgrades, the Air Force is currently rewinging the current fleet of Warthogs under a $2 billion contract awarded to Boeing in 2007 that was originally intended to keep the jets flying until 2028. The depots are seeing some corrosion in the fleet, but that is to be expected in all aging aircraft, Pawlikowski said.
Citat:The Machete, which is still just a concept, would come in two variants optimized for close air support — the propeller-driven SM-27 and the jet-propelled SM-28. Stavatti has proposed other variants of the Machete for air-to-air combat and advanced training.
To su fotoshop gluposti stavati aerospace koji postoji 20 godina i "nudi" te koncepte. U stvarnosti nikada nista napravili nisu, jer realno ni nepostoje kao firma, obicna prevara da nekog nasankaju da da pare.
