    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.

  • 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
