منح وزير الدفاع الامريكي مهلة شهرين لشركة لوكهيد مارتن وذلك لاعادة تصميم النسخه الخاصه بالهبوط العامودي من طائرة ف35
هذه المهلة تاتي بعد ارتفاع تكلفة انتاج وتطوير هذه النسخه وبوجود مشاكل فنية في الاختبارات الخاصه بهذه النسخه
طبعا هناك توقعات ربما بان تصل الامور بالغاء مشروع هذه المقاتلة بسبب كلفتها العالية نسبة الى ادائها الغير مبشرdevil
وهو كلام ذكرته قبل سنتين واكثر من مرة
Lockheed Martin might need to redesign the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant of the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, and F-35 orders will stay flat in fiscal year 2012 (FY12), US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced on 6 January.
Gates announced the F-35 setbacks as part of a broader budget speech at the Pentagon in which he proposed shrinking the US Department of Defense (DoD) budget over the next five years.
He said that the US Marine Corps (USMC) F-35B STOVL variant is "experiencing significant testing problems" that "could add more weight and more cost to an aircraft that has little capacity to absorb more of either".
As a result, he said he would place the STOVL variant on a "two-year probation", which would be followed by cancellation if problems with performance, cost and schedule were not resolved.
He also said that the development of the F-35B would be moved to the back of the F-35 production sequence and that more US Navy (USN) Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft would be ordered to fill the void.
Under Gates' plan, overall production of the F-35 - which comes in the conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) F-35A variant, the F-35C carrier variant (CV) and F-35B - would remain the same in FY12 at 32 aircraf
