  • Northrop F-5 E/F, CF-5D
    Northrop F-5 E/F, CF-5D Description The F-5E is a single seat, twin-engine, tactical fighter and attack aircraft. providing simulated air-to-air combat training, close-air support training, tactics development and evaluation support, manufactured by Northrop Grumman Corporation. The F-5F is a dual-seat version, twin-engine, tactical fighter commonly used for training and adversary combat tactics. The aircraft can ably serve in an aggressor training role with simulation capability of current threat aircraft in fighter combat mode. The CF-FD is the dual-seat Canadian version of the F-5 modified to fit specific Canadian requirements. Fleet TacAir owns and operates a fleet of 26 supersonic F-5 fighter aircraft, largely consisting of an improved, lower flight-time version of the current Adversary platform of the U.S. Navy (USN) and Marine Corps (USMC). TacAir has operated F-5 aircraft since 2013. The F-5 is a proven Adversary aircraft also formerly used by the USAF in this role and currently operational with 19 international air forces. While the baseline F-5 flown by USN/USMC is widely considered a 3rd Generation aircraft, TacAir’s existing and planned upgrades economically evolve this aircraft into an advanced tactical aircraft with sensor/system capabilities on par with current DoD 4th Generation fighter aircraft. TacAir F-5s are upgraded with HUD/HOTAS, open architecture mission computers and tailored Operational Flight Programs that enable integration of advanced radar systems, IRSTS, EA, RWR, datalinks, and HOBS simulated weapons employment. TheF-5’s proven growth potential and twin engine reliability, paired with our uncompromising corporate safety culture, is the best insurance against hazards and mishaps, and lets us meet almost any potential performance requirements.

  • ARMAMENT Now Can Apache Carry
    ARMAMENT Now can Apache carry: - Hydra 70 rocket system (Max. 76) - Hellfire (Max. 16) - Hellfire II (Max. 16) - M230 - External fuel tank (871 l) Here are some other future options. (click on weapons) Hughes On 20 August 1998 US Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments (McDonnell Douglas) M230 Command Armament and Chemical and Logistics Activity (TACOM- 30mm chain ACALA) and McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems (MDHS) signed a first-of-its kind contract for spare parts for the M230 30mm Gun and Area Weapon System (AWS) for the APACHE attack helicopter. The contract allows for parts to be ordered directly from a catalog instead gun of through the traditional contracting process. The Government can also order parts based on need when the Army needs them, instead Rate-of-fire 625 / min of projecting quantities. This eliminates binding the Government into 2600ft/s procuring set numbers in advance and reduces unnecessary Ammo speed (792m/s) inventory. In addition, delivery is directly to the troops in the field Ammo instead of to the storage depot, where delays are incurred in shipping storage 1200 to the field. This contracting effort decreases administrative and capacity production lead times, reduces ordering time from nine months to Ammo less than a month, reduces administrative costs, and minimizes the handling linear linkless strain on manpower resources including those of DCMC and DCAA, system as well as TACOM-ACALA and MDHS, while maintaining reasonable 127 lb prices for spare parts requirements.
