kam Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 F-35 fleet grounded again All 20 F-35 Lightning IIs have been grounded following a failure of the aircraft’s integrated power package (IPP). The incident took place at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., during a ground maintenance run of aircraft AF-4, the fourth conventional takeoff and landing version of the triservice Joint Strike Fighter. Following the failure of the IPP — which combines the functions performed by an auxiliary power unit, emergency power system and environmental controls — the crew shut down the aircraft as per standard operating procedures, according to a press release by the JSF program office. There were no injuries. Government and contractor teams are reviewing the incident to find out what caused the IPP to fail. The program office suspended flight operations as “the prudent action to take at this time until the F-35 engineering, technical and system safety teams fully understand the cause of the incident,” according to the statement. This is the second time the F-35 has been grounded this year due to electrical problems. In March, the F-35 fleet was briefly grounded after the same aircraft experienced a dual generator failure that was traced to faulty maintenance procedures. The Navy’s F-35C was also grounded for six days in June due to a software problem with the wing-fold mechanism that might have caused the flight control surfaces to freeze in flight. The aircraft returned to flight June 23.

I always just tear into my little projects and start going till I can't get it to work. Then start reading the instructions. If I were a pilot, I would hope that the guys putting together the airplane I was about to fly read the instructions. Somebody would be owing something if they didn't and things went south.:D I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Grimes Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Silly question, why do only some of them have vapor trails? Is it because they might have pulled a little on the stick before the photo was taken?

Avilator Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Silly question, why do only some of them have vapor trails? Is it because they might have pulled a little on the stick before the photo was taken? EDIT: I would make an educated guess and say that if that were the case, the vapor would be from the wingtips, not the vertical tails. looks like tail brake to me I agree. All of the planes with vapor are wingmen, and a bit closer to their leads than the rest of the wingmen. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Bucic Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I thought the 229 never flew From the documentary about the guys building a Ho mockup for EM testing - it flew and did a simulated dogfight against Me-262. I have no confirmation on that however... F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
asparagin Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 There where accidents, but it flew alright. Here a link (sadly in germ.) about one of the test pilots: http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/Flugzeuge/Projekte/Ho%20IX-V2/Flugunfall.htm There are also a lot of myths, dogfighting or flights of 800 km/s, but hard to verify. It was one of the best kept secrets of the Führer..

Pilotasso Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Flying wings are by nature hard to fly and have vicious stalling charestics, that without FBW. It would have been a fast and efficient fighter but I doubt the pilots could ever look forward for knife fights. .
power5 Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 That 229 must have been nearly impossible to fly in a dogfight. B2 only flys as well as it does thanks to computer aided designs and flight computer programming.

That 229 must have been nearly impossible to fly in a dogfight. B2 only flys as well as it does thanks to computer aided designs and flight computer programming. That's right, the idea behind the Ho (or Go) 229 was to be a high speed bomber, I find the dogfighting stories also doubtful, but we'll never know.. Also interesting that the jet was covered in Charcoal, used as absorber for radar waves.

Griffin Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) There are interesting differences in different Ka-52's. All of them seem to lack flare dispensers. Number 53 has additional mini pylons on both wings and something strange hanging there. Wonder what those are. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1961181/L/&sid=22866ae2ca655ef0cad9ecfa903601a3 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1958667/L/&sid=e1b76b52651e1fed8263386f04b1a928 Number 062 has an IR missile defence system. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1955855/L/&sid=e1b76b52651e1fed8263386f04b1a928 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1822694/L/&sid=e1b76b52651e1fed8263386f04b1a928 Nice to see how the Ka-52 has evolved into a modern and capable combat helicopter! http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1944876/L/&sid=e1b76b52651e1fed8263386f04b1a928 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Kamov-Ka-52/1886015/L/&sid=e1b76b52651e1fed8263386f04b1a928 Edited August 8, 2011 by Griffin
