F-35 Z13涂装备忘There is a new loo F-35 Z13涂装备忘 There is a new look coming to the F-35 later in the year! With a sleeker, more uniform coating system, F-35s are saving time in Aircraft Final Finishes (AFF) and saving dollars. The design and new look didn’t happen overnight, but rather was the effort of many people over the last five years. In 2012, James Thistle came to Fort Worth from F-22 in Marietta as the Production Operations Senior Manager in AFF. He quickly recognized the need for improving the throughput of AFF, which at the time was operating at almost double the scheduled span and cost budgeted for the area. After pitching a potentially significant opportunity to his then-director, Tom Carrubba, now vice president of Aeronautics Quality Transformation and Enterprise Integration, he was able to gain the initial support for changing the engineering design, coatings material and the application process used in AFF. “What resulted in the end was several days of span time saved in AFF and one of the most positively impactful affordability projects on the F-35 to date. It saves significant hours per unit, defects and rework and improves the aircraft sustainability in the field. It also changes the exterior look of the aircraft to a more uniform coating,” said Carrubba. “The Aircraft Finishes configuration required the preparation and applications of various materials, which aesthetically appear as jig saw panes of various shades of gray across doors, panels and control surface edges. The manufacturing process to yield a complying product are extremely labor intensive and requires unique skill sets and more so concentrated attention to detail, which meant more labor and processing span in AFF," said Thistle. "Despite the immense efforts amongst the F-35 Finishes organizations, the process often yielded escapes and as a result contributed towards the organizations number one driver for quality defects." The idea to optimize the process by eliminating multiple masking operations and the need to manually hand spray various top coats by using robotic application during the final top coat application; or “Z13” overcoat as it is more commonly known, was conceived. The project will reduce the cost of an F-35A by $16,000 per aircraft and will save $49 million in the total life of the program. Chad Wemyss, Delivery Operations Manufacturing Engineering (ME) manager, has been working on the project since picking it up as AFF ME Lead in 2012. “This has been one of the most intense collaboration efforts I’ve taken part in. It has involved several years of testing by the Signature Integration and Materials and Processes (M&P) teams, as well as close teamwork with Production Operations, Finishes Engineering, Sustainment, the Affordability team, the F-35 Program Office and the customer, Joint Program Office (JPO). There have been a lot of stakeholders with different aspects of project inputs and requirements and keeping the whole thing moving forward has been challenging, but also extremely rewarding,” he said. The team kept with it and the results were evident when AF-104, the test aircraft for this project, finished its final coatings in AFF. Implementation of the change is expected in the 2nd quarter of 2017.
【转•F-35A飞行表演队本月首秀】美国空军自2016年起开始使用F-35A参加航展表演,主要形式为加入“传承飞行”表演,偶尔也进行作战表演,这些初期的表演因飞行动作较为乏味而广受批评。 随着F-35A飞机及Block 3F飞控软件逐步开发成熟,表演动作也逐步改善,以2017年巴黎航展为分水岭(F-35A Block 3I),从此以后F-35A的表演动作愈发泼辣。即便如此,F-35A表演依然受“传承飞行”框架限制较多,总体偏保守。 2018年珠海航展歼20表演后不久,美国空军空战司令部终于下定决心组建独立的F-35A表演队,以配合全方位的F-35A战力宣传并努力扭转公众的负面评价。从此F-35 Heritage Flight Team正式升格为F-35 Demo Team。自此,F-35A可以不受“传承飞行”限制,进行篇幅和强度都大大增加的单机飞行表演。 经过数月的筹备,F-35A表演队以17年巴黎航展表演动作为基础重新制定了全套表演动作。新套路十分紧凑,十多分钟的时间内塞进了14个机动动作。 来自61战斗机中队的表演队指挥官声称新表演将展现F-35A的全包线飞行能力,比以往任何飞机的表演都精彩,表演速度上限以不破音障为限,以过失速机动为下限,过载以9g为限,AOA将达到50度,并增加开弹舱展示。指挥官着重强调将完成F-22表演队需要用矢量喷管才能做的动作,以展示F-35A的先进飞控。 F-35A表演队目前正在进行高强度训练,准备在本月底的墨尔本(美国)航展上首次面向公众演出。
参加红旗19-1军演的F-35A Block 3F红旗19- 参加红旗19-1军演的F-35A Block 3F 红旗19-1军演为期三周的演习期间,F-35执行了进攻性空战, 防御性空战, 压制地面防空和近距空中支援任务,展现了不分日夜的高出动率。 F-35A Block 2B在红旗17-1曾经创造了20:1的战绩。现在的F-35A已经达到完全体状态,Block 3F软件使得F-35A的传感器融合程度更深,飞行包线得到扩大,机动性被放宽,可以使用的武器种类更多,更强的性能以及过去两年积累的经验。 2月15日,388战斗机联队第4战斗机中队的F-35A完成了其在为期3周的红旗19-1军演中的飞行任务。第4战斗机中队是这场有3000余人,39个单位参加的红旗19-1军演中,蓝军的一部分,需要面对红军先进的战斗机,防空体系,网络战和信息战部队,军演期间密布电子攻击,通信干扰,GPS也不能使用 F-35A在军演中担当了类似“四分卫”的角色,军演首周,F-35A负责制空任务,需要和己方基本全被“红军”电子攻击而致盲的“蓝军”四代机面对“红军”的60余架入侵者中队的战斗机 通常情况下,新手飞行员是不适合参加这种演习的;不过军演期间,一位只飞过7, 8次F-35A的飞行员就曾通过无线电告诉一位有3000小时飞行经验的四代机飞行员掉头,不然就要被干掉了,然后自己干掉了那架威胁己方的“红军”战斗机,在这次一个小时的飞行任务期间还斩落了另外3个空战战果,这种事是前所未见的。 对于第四战斗机中队来说,这项训练最有价值的一点是它为年轻飞行员提供了作为综合部队一部分执行飞行作战任务的经验。中队13名飞行员从未驾驶过红旗F-35,其中4名刚刚毕业。 “这些情况突出了F-35的第五代能力。我们仍然能够操作并取得成功。在很多情况下,我们作为一个综合四分卫有很大的作用。”第四战斗机中队指挥官Yosef Morris中校说。“我们持续融合并传递信息给整个集团的能力使每架飞机都更具生存能力。” 388作战群指挥官Joshua Wood上校表示:“就算是在这种环境下,F-35A的飞行员完成任务也并没有太多的困难,这是对训练成果和F-35A能力的证明。”
