Editor’s Note: Since its unveiling, Japan’s ATD-X aircraft has undertaken an ambitious test program. As you can see in the video, they’re at the point of doing high-speed texts–with both afterburners lit for a short period of time. It won’t be long before this aircraft conducts its first flight, probably within the coming days. That […]
The F-22 Raptor has one million lines of code in its software. The F-35 has eight million lines of code. That alone brings with it a unique set of challenges. The men and women who fly this airplane shouldn’t have to worry about their state-of-the-art APG-81 AESA radar rebooting in flight–especially in the middle of […]
Happy Wednesday, FighterSweep Fans! Shortly after Secretary of the Air Force, Deborah Lee James, announced the B-21 at this year’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, the service also announced it would like help in naming the aircraft. We’ve heard some good suggestions, some interesting ones, and some that are just…well…just read on. And you can […]
Editor’s Note: It appears as though the refining of the actual RFP for the Air Force’s T-X jet trainer replacement program will take longer than anticipated, pushing the official solicitation release until sometime right before the end of the calendar year 2016. As a result of the delay, the T-X is not anticipated to reach […]
Editor’s Note: For every person I know who has flown The Big Fighter, every single of them to a man–or woman–misses flying the airplane. For those of us in the Top Gun generation of aviators, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an icon, but it’s so much more than that. It awakened something in us that […]
Editor’s Note: If anyone has an appreciation for how difficult it can be to develop a next-generation aircraft, it would be the folks at Lockheed-Martin’s Advanced Development Programs division, better known as the Skunk Works. The next generation of air dominance, better known as NGAD or 6th-Gen, promises to be a difficult task. Because of […]
According to the U.S. Navy, eight sailors on the USS Eisenhower were injured today in an accident as an aircraft attempted to land aboard the ship. Initial reports are indicating the arresting gear strung across the flight deck experienced a catastrophic failure when the tailhook of an Northrop-Grumman E-2C Hawkeye engaged it, says the Navy […]
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, […]
“I am an aspiring fighter pilot, and was wondering what our inventory may look like in ten years or further into the future, and what will be different in the life of a fighter pilot and the path to becoming one?” ~Jackson D., South Carolina Great question, Jackson! Of course, it is a tough one […]
Editor’s Note: As we’ve spoken of before, things are heating up in the competition between aircraft manufacturers to win the T-X contract, the Air Force’s replacement to its aging fleet of T-38 Talon jet trainers. Some thought a shift in those requirements was pending, which would allow Textron’s entry, one based on their prototype “Scorpion” […]
Editor’s Note: This certainly ends a lot of the speculation as to which companies are on the LRS-B Team. There were a lot of theories circling the E-waves, and thanks to Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, we now have an idea of who the major players will be for the B-21. While […]
Editor’s Note: Northrop-Grumman’s original Stealth Bomber and the Air Force’s Long Range Strike-Bomber bare such a striking resemblance, to one another, it’s reasonable to wonder what else the two aircraft have in common. There’s a lot of speculation as to whom the subcontractors are or will be, how the design compares in its LO characteristics […]
