Alternative designs were considered which offered some benefit, but two considerations persuaded us to delete the requirement. "First, the nozzle scheduling of the F-35B on take-off has yet to be fully established, and there was a risk that the jet blast would simply 'bounce' over the JBD. Second, the JBD was in a single fixed position on the flight deck, so there was no flexibil- ity with regard to the length of the take-off run."...” 11-Dec-2008 International Defence Review

  • The Wing Is the Principal Structural Unit of the Airplane. It Has Several Functions Beyond That of Providing Lift. for a Wing To
    1 WING The wing is the principal structural unit of the airplane. It has several functions beyond that of providing lift. For a wing to produce "lift", it must be oriented at a suitable angle of attack relative to the flow of air past the wing. In aerodynamics, angle of attack (AOA) specifies the angle between the chord line of the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft and the vector representing the relative motion between the aircraft and the atmosphere. On larger airplanes the engines are mounted in nacelles either attached to the wing or mounted in the wing. The nacelles also provide a housing for the landing gear when it is retracted. The space within the wing is usually used for fuel storage. The main geometrical features of a wing are its span; the area of the wing; its dihedral angle; its sweepback angle; and the wing section. Dihedral angle is the upward angle of an aircraft's wing, from the wing root to the wing tip. The amount of dihedral determines the amount of inherent stability along the roll axis. Although an increase of dihedral will increase inherent stability, it will also decrease lift, and increase drag. The design of the wing depends on the size, weight, and use of the airplane. Generally, there are two kinds of wing design: cantilever and semi-cantilever. The semi-cantilever usually has one, or perhaps two, supporting wires or struts attached to each wing and the fuselage. As far as the internal structure is concerned, there are three general types of conventional wings: monospar, two-spar, and multispar.

  • Preparation of Papers for AIAA Journals
    F-35 Program History – From JAST to IOC Copyright © 2018 by Lockheed Martin Corporation. Published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., with permission. Arthur E. Sheridan1 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Fort Worth, Texas, 76101, USA AIAA AVIATION Forum June 25-29, 2018, Atlanta, Georgia June 25-29, 2018, Atlanta, Georgia and 10.2514/6.2018-3366 2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference Robert Burnes2 F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office, Arlington, Virginia, USA The Joint Strike Fighter program leading to the Lockheed Martin family of F•35 aircraft has been unprecedented in terms of scope and challenge. This paper reviews the background and need for the air system. It summarizes the environment, objectives, approach, and results of each of three distinct development phases, and highlights some of the most significant challenges encountered and solutions achieved. It also covers initial production and sustainment achievements in parallel. Despite the ambitious goals and numerous challenges, the development program is drawing to a close, and a system is now being produced and sustained that meets its customers’ warfighting requirements. I. Background HE origins of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program can be traced to the longstanding commitment of the U.S. T Marine Corps (USMC) and United Kingdom (UK) Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy (RN) to develop a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) strike fighter, and to the end of the Cold War. Drastic defense budget reductions after the Cold War, together with aging fleets of fighter aircraft in the United States and across the west, demanded a new level of cooperation in development and production.

  • Aircraft Design
    Optimal Aircraft Design Aircraft Design D.Breyne Dernière révision 06/11/19 2017 - 2019 Réservé uniquement aux enseignants et élèves de l’Ecole Centrale Paris Reproduction interdite www.oad.aero 1/79 Optimal Aircraft Design Objectives One of the main objectives of this session is to present the design process of an aircraft and more precisely the conceptual design. The other objective is to be aware that is possible to define very quickly the main size of the aircraft only working with order of magnitude. The class will be divided in different groups of three students. Each group will represent the research department of one company. A customer (the teacher) will present to the groups a set of specifications and will ask the groups to fulfil the conceptual design of the corresponding aircraft. The conceptual design will be done using a software (ADS). With this tool, it will be easier to consider the aircraft as a whole and visualize the impact of one technical choice on the whole aircraft: its size, its performance and its cost. At the end of the session, each group will present its work to the customer, in front of the class. www.oad.aero 2/79 Optimal Aircraft Design Table of contents Objectives ............................................................................................................................................... 2 Table of contents .................................................................................................................................... 3 Bloc 1 ......................................................................................................................................................

  • F-16.Net Version: Ski Jump Ramp + STO & EAF Explanations for Harrier
    Naval Aviation Firsts Leading the way in Innovation Ski-Jump In the 1970s Lt Cdr Doug Taylor invented the ‘Ski-Jump’. This upwards curving ramp at the forward end of the flight deck ensures that the aircraft is launched on an upward trajectory giving considerable performance gains, including much greater payload and range, than a corresponding flat deck, short take-off. The early trials proved so successful that the Ski-Jump was incorporated into the design of HMS Hermes and the Invincible ClassSRVL carriers. royalnavy.mod.uk/flynavy100 Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing 1909 - 2009 ryyhrvtuurhv p hsvr hpvuhuvyhqvtr H8 EvFUuh qrpxhquhth VTHh vrG8yA rqTpurx rvurA"$7hsr yhqvtv Uursv yhqvtPp"hqrq vtvprrhur hqrh urVTTXhTpurxuhirr pqvvpup vqhqhrhqqrpxvuyruh vtur: $vyyvwr qrt rrvpuhq$qrt rrs yyPr urrsrrrxTpurxsyr u tuvhpr vvp rhvtyyrsh hiyrpqvvs urVTTXhh huvivhhyuvirphryvhryvyvyyirhxvtsshq yhqvtvhyyxvqsrhur hqrh Uursv hrhr vphyyhqvthr vpxyTpurxhvq /Dh rhyywsprquuryhrhqvtuvh uhqyvthqwrqrrvtuhhyyuvvurprhhq uhvtyhqv/hvqTpurxurh ryvrvXuvrGhxr /Duvxuhvvvyr ihiyrhvr yhqurhyyuv qvthr vphyyhqvtuhqvthivtuvyhqvtvuhhvyux/ Tpurxhqqrq/Dvyy rrpvvthqrhvvqhv hq hxrhyxhuruvhqp s r urhr ursyvtuqrpx hqi vtvqyhq/ Uu rrr vsurA"$h rqr tvtrvts ur6v A pr Hh vrhqIh8hhiyrsu hxrsshqr vphyyhqvtur A"$7vyy ryhprHh vr6W'7Ch vr hqA 'C rhqv qrvtrqirrqhuvivuvhqhv svryqv s Hh vrt qs prUurA"$6vyyirrqiur6v A prs prvhyhxrsshqyhqvthqurIhvyysyurA"$8 uvpusrh ryh tr vt shprhq rvs prqyhqvttrh vuhqhv p hsph vr yhpur Av hrhr vphyyhqvts UurA"$7 vprhtv tuy: $vyyvvpyqvtqrryr

  • The Major Projects Report 2011
    REPORT BY THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL HC 1520-II SESSION 2010–2012 16 NOVEMBER 2011 Ministry of Defence The Major Projects Report 2011 Appendices and Project Summary Sheets Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. We apply the unique perspective of public audit to help Parliament and government drive lasting improvement in public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending on behalf of Parliament. The Comptroller and Auditor General, Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons. He is the head of the NAO, which employs some 880 staff. He and the NAO are totally independent of government. He certifies the accounts of all government departments and a wide range of other public sector bodies; and he has statutory authority to report to Parliament on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which departments and other bodies have used their resources.

  • Trailblazing Lightning II Test Pilot Hits the Road
    Trailblazing Lightning II Test Pilot Hits the Road Posted by TBN On 07/02/2012 “Lightning 8” is signing off, at least for now. The senior F-35 military test pilot who ensured the safe execution of flight test from the delivery of the first F-35B in 2009 and sea trials on USS Wasp (LHD 1) last year is moving on. “[Lt. Col. Fred “Tinman” Schenk] has poured his heart and soul into this team for nearly four years,” said Navy Capt. Erik Etz, government director of test for F-35 naval variants. “He consistently provided outstanding leadership and guidance for our team of more than 800 personnel, and he’s been a vocal advocate for always doing the job right.” Schenk, or “Lightning 8,” left the F-35 Integrated Test Force and Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River on June 29. As the government flight test director, and one of the first test pilots qualified to fly the F-35 at NAS Pax River, Schenk can list a number of “firsts” under his name, including the first vertical landing aboard Wasp. “My time here [at Pax River] has been a real privilege,” Schenk said. “All test pilots dream about working on the newest aircraft and being a part of the first sea trials. It has been the pinnacle of my career, and I am truly honored and humbled to have been a part of such a professional team.” One of his teammates and former commanding officers praised him. “I have been extremely fortunate throughout my career to work with truly incredible people and Tinman ranks high on that list,” said Marine Col.

For this reason, the Defense Advanced Research Berlin Wall had fallen just a couple of DARPA assigned an experimental ’X’ Projects Agency (DARPA) issued years earlier – and no one wanted to designation for the prototype: the X-32. a Request for Proposals for the put budgetary pressure on the F-22 General Dynamics had been testing a Advanced Short Take Off and program. DARPA pointed out that the full-scale E-7 ejector propulsion model in IVertical Landing (ASTOVL) aircraft USMC had a similar problem, but there NASA’s 80ft x 120ft wind tunnel but, technology demonstration program in could be co-operation if the extra fuel in the end, it off ered a fan-in-wing 1992. The aim was to build a supersonic tank was replaced by a lift fan to off er the propulsion concept similar to the Ryan STOVL fi ghter with an empty weight of supersonic STOVL capability desired by XV-5A. McDonnell Douglas went in with 24,000lb, similar to the F/A-18C Hornet, the service. The USAF showed interest, an off er for both a SDLF (shaft driven to keep the weight and cost in check.
