Editor’s Note: Here’s some good news coming from the F-35 program. According to Jeff Babione, Lockheed-Martin’s F-35 Program manager, the cost of the aircraft is going to drop significantly in the next three years, to the tune of approximately $15 Million dollars per copy–at least for the Air Force’s F-35A CTOL variant. The carrier-based F-35C […]
One of our all-time favorite aircraft, the Lockheed-Martin SR-71 Blackbird, has spawned a successor to its place as the highest, fastest, most untouchable strategic reconnaissance platform that world has known of. While there has been much speculation about a successor for decades, this new animal, currently called the SR-72, is the only one Lockheed-Martin publicly […]
Editor’s Note: It stands to reason that, while some of the POGO report is absolutely valid, it doesn’t take other things into account. Even in the past four and a half months, the jet has made amazing strides. From all of the airspeed, altitude, and G-restrictions prior to the new year, to now fighting in […]
Editor’s Note: This is a subject we’re watching closely, as a handful of our good friends fly the F-35 in the Air Force and Marine Corps. I remember looking at the helmet the first time I visited the F-35 ITF at Edwards, and it’s a monstrosity. Just over four pounds. Heavier than JHMCS. That was […]
Editor’s Note: Not surprising, as we alluded to before. While a new batch of F-22s would be absolutely welcome in Air Combat Command’s ranks, it just doesn’t look like it’s in the cards. It’s a crushing realization; we simply didn’t build enough of them. The Air Force is look at it from an expense standpoint, […]
Editor’s Note: While it’s highly unlikely such a thing would come to pass, we cannot help but salivate at the notion of more Lockheed-Martin F-22A Raptors entering service with the United States Air Force. Because of the drastically reduced number of F-22s than originally intended and the reduced F-35 buy in FY 2017, the Air […]
Editor’s Note: The F-22A Raptor is the world’s most feared combat aircraft, and the world’s only operational 5th-Generation fighter. Tyson Wetzel has previously discussed how this magnificent fighter has matured in the ten years since reaching IOC. And while it has seen its share of problems, and has more than its fair share of critics, […]
Editor’s Note: On 4 December 2011, a Lockheed-Martin RQ-170 Sentinel drone was brought down over northeastern Iran, presumably by the cyberwarfare unit of the Iranian government. In the last four years, the government has been meticulously dissecting and reverse-engineering the craft and now, according to their state media outlets, they have “improved” and armed the […]
Editor’s Note: We’ve already seen Israel balking at the idea of F-15s being sold to Qatar, but General Lloyd Austin, chief of United States Central Command, is in favor of both Boeing and Lockheed-Martin selling their latest variants of fourth-generation aircraft to partner nations in the Persian Gulf region. Complicating matters are the Iranian nuclear […]
Editor’s Note: Lieutenant General Christopher Bogdan is the head of the F-35 Joint Program Office. Better than anyone else, he knows and understands all of the challenges the program has faced–and continues to. Arguably the biggest takeaway for industry is this one: when it comes time to build the next generation of air dominance, do […]
Editor’s Note: Started in June of 1943 by Ben Rich and Kelly Johnson, the Skunk Works is responsible for some of the most innovative designs in the history of flight: the U-2 Dragon Lady, the SR-71, F-117A, F-22 Raptor, and the F-35 Lightning II. Even the RQ-170 Sentinel RPA. Better know as the Advanced Development […]
