The essence of large-scale problems with F-35 engines is revealed

64

Serious engine problems with the fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter continue to undermine the operational readiness of the entire US air fleet, Military Watch writes from the United States.

In 2021, these single-engine aircraft will take to the skies significantly fewer times than previously planned. This is due to the incessant difficulties with the F135 - the most powerful power unit ever installed on an aircraft of this type in the world. The Pentagon considers this a key issue. It is she who does not allow to achieve the combat capability of the F-35.



The engine is manufactured by Pratt & Whitney (owned by Raytheon Technologies Corp.), which, in addition to the above, also faced performance issues due to the large number of F-35s currently being produced. Many fighters are now being produced, but their performance characteristics are already receiving sharp criticism from officials, including several heads of the Pentagon.

One of the unsolved problems with the F135 is overheating of the surface coating on its turbine blades, which leads to their cracking. This leads to the fact that expensive power units serve less, i.e. they need to be taken out of service earlier. In addition, maintenance needs to be carried out more often, and this is all enormous costs.

The F-35s were supposed to replace the F-16s and not be much more expensive to maintain. As a result, it turned out that the operating costs of the problem aircraft are $ 31 thousand per hour, compared to $ 7,7 thousand per hour for a fully operational F-16.

At the same time, it is generally unknown whether large-scale problems with the combat readiness of the F-35 will ever be resolved. The US Air Force has already planned to reduce their purchases by more than 1/3 of the planned amount, having decided to purchase the time-tested F-16s, which have been in operation for more than 45 years, the American media summed up.

    We are waiting for comments from the happy owners of this miracle from the Middle East and local admirers of overseas super-duper technology.
    After all, there are continuous problems in Russia and they cannot build anything and they plunder everything, including secret equipment from aircraft. And "there" neither, this cannot be, and from Monday afternoon, as the mass production of 100500 pieces per day will begin fellow

    I'm not worried about the United States. I personally know about their planes for a long time that they are problematic. And even the 5th generation is in fact money laundering, the Pentagon itself said that the operation of the 22nd is considered ineffective, and at the price of their maintenance, it is better that they do not fly at all, one flight and after service is like 10 su 35, despite the fact that 35 has a number of advantages in aerobatics, and if we add 5th generation avionics, then 22 is the end, although they are already the end. Yes, in the Pentagon, our dryers and moments are called flying hammers, so reliable and not whimsical

    Laughter and more! In Russia today there are only ONE serial Su-57, there is no engine for it, so this fighter, as it were, of the fifth generation, flies on the AL-41F1 engine, and when the second stage engine is ready, God alone knows. However, gentlemen, the Russians are enthusiastically trying to spoil the F-35, which successfully performs combat missions and is in service not only with the United States, but also with other, far from the last states. What is more in the negative statements of these critics - envy or fear, I find it difficult to define ...

      You take care of the "sweetheart" there not even an hour will damage. When anyone walks around the base where the "best in the world" aircraft are based, you involuntarily ask yourself a question, is the state definitely not one of the last?
      What do you have there to steal secret equipment and ammunition? Found or all in a creative search?

                Why were they not identified, since the first serial fell (on which, in theory, there should be no shortcomings)?

                Who told you that they don't go up in the air? The status of "not reaching full combat readiness" does not mean this at all. This status reflects the restrictions with which the aircraft is operated and what tasks it can currently perform.

                  We need to ask the plant. The VKS did not receive the plane. We can talk about a production defect and not the supply of unreliable equipment to the troops.

                  Who told you that they don't go up in the air?

                  Some of them, anyway. Without an engine, flying is not comfortable.

                    Who said "just fly over the airfield"? The F-35 is a fighter aircraft capable of performing a wide range of missions in a variety of conditions. "Unfinished" machines simply have limitations on some of these tasks.

                        The first production aircraft - no, this is no longer the initial one.

                        Does this change the case?

                        Of course. A factory defect will only require improved control over the production of subsequent copies, and a constructive flaw will require revision.

                        Only not all of them have 2/3 "on the ground."

                        Likewise, the Americans do not stand on the ground.

                        Restrictions on some tasks? Dozens of them? Hundreds? The aircraft does not have many tasks. Fly to the desired place, scout something, "bomb" or knock down someone (other variations). Well, it is also desirable to return to the airfield. And so to which ones they can't perform?

                        It is precisely in these "variations" that the problem lies. For example, there may be restrictions on the conduct of hostilities in conditions of strong electronic warfare. Or under some specific weather conditions. Or at a certain level of air defense saturation. It is precisely these restrictions that are removed as the aircraft enter an ever newer degree of combat readiness.

                        The bottom line is that airplanes ALWAYS have high demands. It was the same with the F-15 at the beginning of its operation, and with the F-16. And the Soviet Yak-28 bomber was generally operated for about 30 years, was produced in the amount of 1130 pieces, but was not officially adopted until the very decommissioning.

                        The US Air Force has already planned to reduce their purchases by more than 1/3 of the planned amount, having decided to purchase the time-tested F-16s, which have been in operation for more than 45 years, the American media concluded.

                        First, these are only plans. They will be cut if, within 10 years (from 2018), the aircraft will remain expensive to maintain / operate.

                        Secondly, if this reduction still occurs, the Air Force will still receive almost 1200 aircraft. This is quite enough.

                        The first plane entered the army. Do you think that "design flaws" were eliminated so quickly, or did you decide - and so it will do?

                        The first plane entered the army. Do you think that "design flaws" were eliminated so quickly, or did you decide - and so it will do?

                        In Soviet times, they did not squander funds, but maintained parity in military equipment.

                        No matter how many released it will be enough. It doesn't matter 3 or 000. These are elves, they are not mistaken

                        So there are still more of these 1200 F-35s than we have all fighters (about 800 units).

                        And it should be borne in mind that this is only about fighters of the US Air Force, it is said, excluding the fleet of the Navy and the ILC.

                        And this is without taking into account the F-16, F-15, F-22, which will be in operation for more than one decade.

                        So you don't know? But are you sure that this is not so? It’s not you who like to talk about logic?
                        In my opinion, I clearly outlined the initial stage of mass production.

                        In Soviet times, they did not squander funds, but maintained parity in military equipment.

                        For which they paid. If a neighbor with a fool does something a lot, this does not mean at all that you should have the same.

                        So there are still more of these 1200 F-35s than all our fighters (about 800 units).

                        Then why were they going to build more than 3? The planning accuracy is amazing good Are you proposing to maintain parity with these?

                        And it should be borne in mind that this is only about fighters of the US Air Force, it is said, excluding the fleet of the Navy and the ILC.

                        Of course, the Marines made the decision to cut their fleet much earlier.

                        And this is without taking into account the F-16, F-15, F-22, which will be in operation for more than one decade.

                        Did they just understand this and therefore cut production?
                        Or do you substantiate your point of view about sufficiency?

      If Russia had the same military budget as the United States, the situation would be the same. They would have stamped 500 Su-57s, reported to the party, the government and the Soviets ..... sorry, to the Russian people and then in the same way they began to bring the raw product to mind. And it's good that so far there are only 10 prototypes that are chasing the tail and mane on tests ...

      In Russia, extremely damp cars are not put into series, and they are not sold to suckers. (I understand, trade honesty is not your honor).

      The second stage engine improves efficiency characteristics. And what about this parameter in the F-35?

      Well, why not be offended by the truth.
      You should have brought your Lavi to mind you should, and not buy this Mr.

                  Operation Rimon 20 is the codename for the Israeli Air Force's air combat against Soviet fighter pilots stationed in Egypt during the War of Attrition on July 30, 1970, which resulted in four [1], according to other sources, five Soviet MiG-21 fighters were shot down by Israeli F-4 Phantom and Mirage III fighters.

                  Will you now be proud for a couple of millennia and beat your heel in the chest, with joy that you shot down 4 MiGs?

                    Now look:

                    February 25 2011 the first serial F-35 - AF-6 [21] took off for the first time [6], and on May 7 the first serial aircraft (it turned out to be the next serial one - AF-6, AF-XNUMX was transferred a week later) was transferred to the US Air Force

                    And the first serial Su-57 did not even manage to reach the Aerospace Forces.

                    # 2 Arabs are warriors only for Jews.

                    First, Arabs or residents of other less developed countries are not such bad warriors for any enemy. The Soviet contingent in Afghanistan and the Russian troops in Chechnya will be confirmed.

                    Secondly, even taking into account the low training of Arab soldiers, their combined troops in manpower exceeded the Israeli at least 2 times more.

                    Will you now be proud for a couple of millennia and beat your heel in the chest, with joy that you shot down 4 MiGs?

                    Firstly, I am not an Israeli, I have nothing to be proud of this victory.

                    Second, do you want them to shoot down more? For some reason, the commander of the USSR Air Force did not want to:

                    On August 1, 1970, Air Force Commander of the USSR Marshal Pavel Kutakhov flew to Cairo. He ordered an investigation into the circumstances of the armed clash with the enemy. On August 2, Kutakhov ordered the cessation of flights of Soviet pilots in the Suez Canal zone. Marshall forbade his pilots to engage in battle with Israeli fighters. The leadership of the USSR notified the Egyptian side that it could no longer render assistance to the Egyptian government in ensuring the inviolability of Egyptian air borders.

                    Do you even understand how pathetic you look with these victories?

                    No, you look pitiful with your excuses about "the Arabs do not know how to fight" or "4 shot down MIGs is pfff, nonsense."

                        Likewise, Russia, the United States and Israel have bombed only Arabs over the past few decades.

                        But at the same time, you have Russian aircraft - wow, the very power, the very perfection, proven in combat conditions, the aircraft of the United States and Israel - "ugh, but they are only suitable against the Arabs."

          Why do they conclude a contract for only 15 vehicles for the F-8? Why not 100 500 at once? The car is 50 years old, and it starts with a meager batch. Have forgotten how?

            That is, you think that ANY production should be kept under a hundred machines at once? Now Boeing's capacities are clearly not capable of delivering half a hundred vehicles a year on the move. They fulfill the contract of the Saudis, they will slowly sell cars to the USAF and Israel. Maybe I forgot someone else.
            The preliminary option for 144 vehicles is to replace the drill tags. Some write off others. It will take 7-8 years, if suddenly there are no changes.

            No reliable aircraft fly with might and main. Again, you miss the keywords - "Hundreds of thousands of hours have flown." 340 000+ already if memory serves. It is not on the ground but in the air.

              This is a common defensive reaction, you attribute your shortcomings to others, so it starts to seem to you that against the general background you are not so flawed. Good luck with this question, I guess you shouldn't go back to it anymore. We are not discussing your psychological problems after all.

              That is, you think that ANY production should be kept under a hundred machines at once?

              Of course not. I believe that the release of new cars (or modernized old ones) should start with a small installation batch. We check, test, eliminate "childhood diseases", in parallel there is a debugging of the production process and then a larger batch. And I am for a unified approach without double standards.
              You probably think differently. For some reason, you demand the release of the Su-57 in huge batches, or, more precisely, declare a low production rate and use the F-35 as an example. When it comes to the F-15, everything turns out to be great and the release of 100 a year is not required.

              No reliable aircraft fly with might and main. Again, you miss the keywords - "Hundreds of thousands of hours have flown." 340 000+ already if memory serves. It is not on the ground but in the air.

              True? And I heard that about 1/3 are combat-ready. The rest are just on the ground, including because of problems with the engines. Do you think they lie shamelessly? smile

                First, the contract for the F-15EX is designed for the purchase of 144 vehicles, not 8.

                https://www.gazeta.ru/army/2020/07/14/13151983.shtml

                Secondly, the new F-15 will carry out the planned replacement of outdated models of this aircraft, of which there are not so many - about 200.

                And the main rearmament is done just at the expense of the F-35.

                True? And I heard that about 1/3 are combat-ready. The rest are just on the ground, including because of problems with the engines. Do you think they lie shamelessly?

                You are lying godlessly. Well, or you cannot understand the difference between "not reached the degree of combat readiness" from "standing on the ground."

                  What are you saying belay Thanks for the educational work good True, Boeing thinks a little differently. In 2020, a contract for the supply of eight F-15EX - $ 1,2 billion Delivery of the first two is expected in 2021. Call them, explain that they are wrong winked

                  The fact that in the future supplies for 23 billion dollars are envisaged does not change the essence of the matter. The conversation was about the pace of production. In this context, the development of the contract is irrelevant. Do you also think that the Americans are capable of producing 100 fighters at once, and only the crooked Russians start with small volumes? And here is the beginning of production of not a new modernized fighter. And what do we see? 500 fighters in a year ...
                  You, as usual, did not understand the essence of the issue and rushed with your tailbone to the embrasure. I understand, of course, the reflex worked, they rushed without thinking about protecting the "elves" ... In general, they wanted the best, but it turned out as always. smile

                  You are lying godlessly. Well, or you cannot understand the difference between "not reached the degree of combat readiness" from "standing on the ground."

                  And how is it different? The fighter is either ready for a combat mission and flying, or not ready and standing on the ground. Compromises like flying crocodiles, but low interest only to you.

                    You, as usual, did not understand the essence of the issue and rushed with your tailbone to the embrasure.

                    Firstly, the F-15 EX is actually a new fighter, it has only a glider from the F-15, and even that is a redesigned one.

                    Secondly, this aircraft is being launched into series to replace gradually retiring older models. Hence the slowness. The Americans have about 200 fairly new F-15 E aircraft in service.

                    They tell you about the rate of production of 5th generation fighters. And here the Americans and their allies have more than 600 F-35s, and Russia has 1 (in words - one) Su-57.

                    And how is it different? The fighter is either ready for a combat mission and flying, or not ready and standing on the ground.

                    In Western aviation, "combat readiness" has several stages - it depends on what restrictions a particular aircraft has and what combat missions it can perform. The fact that 2/3 of the aircraft have not reached the stage of full combat readiness does not mean that they are on the ground and are generally incapable of conducting combat operations.

                      No, rather your stupidity bothers you. We are talking about the pace of serial production at the initial stage, which does not matter in their long-term plans. hi

                        This modification gradually replaces older models as they are decommissioned. It makes no sense to produce a bunch of aircraft of the previous generation at once if the older ones are still in operation.

                        It's so elementary that I don't even know why explain it to a seemingly adult person.

                        To you - once again - they are talking about comparing 5th generation aircraft. Does Russia already have such planes? Not.

                        You didn't get it the third time? Talk about the pace of production at the initial stage. You isolate separately the 5th generation.
                        What makes you think that we need hundreds of Su-57s a year?

                        It's so elementary that I don't even know why explain it to a seemingly adult person.

                        I "isolate" the 5th generation, because this type of aircraft is practically not in service. For example, the Su-27 began to be produced in relatively large batches even before the aircraft was put into service, because the Americans already had a large fleet of F-15s by that time.

                        And of course we have a huge need, but we just can't ..
                        Of course, it is naive to expect a stupid point of view from you.

                        You "isolate" them only because you can't imagine the elves in a white light differently, the halo fades catastrophically.

                Okay, but if I see a fool playing again or a "typical" scoffing, the conversation will be interrupted.

                You probably think differently.

                I'm talking about the real achievements of the F-35 program, and just for comparison, I show that our successes in this field are more than modest. Americans can afford to produce cars and bring them to mind in parallel with the acquisition of experience (including combat), the training of infrastructure, personnel and pilots, as it was once in the USSR. We do not have such luxury - the Su-57 program is stalling and in general was on the verge of "freezing" from where the president pulled it out by a willful decision.

                When it comes to the F-15, then everything turns out to be great and the release of 100 per year is not required.

                This car was generally beyond the USAF's plans. It is not surprising that it will be produced in a "small" (by American standards, of course, 144 cars are assumed) series with a relatively low rate. It's so elementary that I don't even know how much easier it is.

                True? And I heard that about 1/3 are combat-ready.

                First, there is a small clarification - they are combat-ready at the same time. Yesterday this car was on duty, today it is different, which does not prevent them from flying (as indicated by the considerable numbers of raids), to carry out training and combat missions
                For peacetime, 36 percent of fully combat-ready vehicles, this is not enough, which causes criticism and demands for its increase. Which is what happens.

                Do you think the F-16s are 90-100% operational? Or Su-35?

      Stamp at least one "xp @ new" su-57, then you will be clever.
