Antwort Why is the F-35A failure? Weitere Antworten – Why is the F-35A failure
The U.S. fleet of F-35 fighters continued to be vexed by reliability, maintainability, and availability (RMA) problems last fiscal year, available for operations only 51 percent of the time—compared to a goal of 65 percent—according to the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation's annual report.With over 721,000 flight hours and more than 965 delivered F-35s, the aircraft has a relatively low crash rate, with fewer than ten confirmed destroyed planes and one pilot fatality.F-35s break down far more frequently than the architects of the program anticipated. DOT&E reports that the fleet of Air Force F-35As experience critical failures, those that render an aircraft unsafe to fly, nearly twice as often as anticipated.
Is there a missing F-35 : The jet went missing in 2023 before its remnants were found in a rural area. Newly released audio files show that the Marine Corps called 911 after one of their F-35 fighter jets went missing in South Carolina last September.
Why not F-35 in Top Gun
As for why they didn't film with F-35s: others have already mentioned that the F-35's single seat makes it impossible to put actors in the cockpit. Other issues are that the F-35 has a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than the F-18, so maneuvers wouldn't look quite as cool.
Is F-35 better than F16 : Finally, the F-35 office said simulated combat scenarios have shown that four F-35s have won encounters when pitted against a four-ship of F-16s. "The F-35s won each of those encounters because of its sensors, weapons, and stealth technology," the statement said.
In recent Red Flag aerial wargames run by the U.S. Air Force, the F-35 racked up a 20:1 kill ratio.
The F-22 Raptor outperforms the F-35 Lightning II in speed and climb rate, making it a formidable interceptor. The F-35's versatility in armament surpasses the F-22, enabling it to serve various missions, including nuclear deterrence and air-to-ground strikes.
Can the F-35 be fixed
When a F-35 has a minor problem, U.S. military maintainers on a flightline can, in some instances, make a small fix, Maurer said. In other cases, they can't, because the technical data needed for repairs is the intellectual property of contractors such as Lockheed.Finally, the F-35 office said simulated combat scenarios have shown that four F-35s have won encounters when pitted against a four-ship of F-16s. "The F-35s won each of those encounters because of its sensors, weapons, and stealth technology," the statement said.F-22 Is Better at Aerial Combat
The F-22 is faster than the F-35 – MACH 2.2 versus MACH 1.6 for the Lightning II. The F-22 is 30 percent heavier, but it may be more maneuverable due to its Pratt & Whitney F119 engines providing more thrust (70,000 pounds) than the single Pratt & Whitney F-135 engine on the F-35.
But the Air Force model's gun is mounted inside the plane, and the test office “considers the accuracy, as installed, unacceptable” due to “misalignments” in the gun's mount that didn't meet specifications. The mounts are also cracking, forcing the Air Force to restrict the gun's use.
Can a F-22 beat a F-35 : F-22 Is Better at Aerial Combat
The F-22 is faster than the F-35 – MACH 2.2 versus MACH 1.6 for the Lightning II. The F-22 is 30 percent heavier, but it may be more maneuverable due to its Pratt & Whitney F119 engines providing more thrust (70,000 pounds) than the single Pratt & Whitney F-135 engine on the F-35.
Can F-16 beat F-22 : Could an F-22 Raptor beat an F-16 in a turning dogfight Oh yes. Easily.
Why Top Gun didn t use F-35
The first is that with the F-35 there would be no heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping dogfighting scenes. The F-35 was designed to employ a combination of stealthiness, advanced sensing, and long-range weapons to engage aircraft from outside their sensor ranges.
At least two Eurofighters scored kills against F-22s… but there's more to this story. We know for sure that at least some (likely two) Eurofighters actually scored notional kills against their F-22 opponents in these drills.The F-35's sweet avionics isn't its only cutting-edge capability. Each Joint Strike Fighter can sport four weapons internally while flying in combat or can be equipped with six additional weapons mounted on external hardpoints when flying in more relaxed environments. Essentially, the F-35 is armed to the teeth.
Why did F-22 fail : The Downside of F-22s
There has been one crash years back that the Air Force doesn't like to discuss. Reliability has been a concern. For example, F-22 oxygen systems have had well-documented problems and the landing gear collapsed. It needs a lot of stealth coating maintenance.
