Lockheed Martin and the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) are on track to compete System Design and Development (SDD) flight testing of the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) programme before the end of the year, it was announced on 25 July.
he remaining development flight testing includes validating the final release of Block 3F software, F-35B ‘ski jump’ testing, F-35B austere site operations, high-Mach loads testing for both the F-35B and F-35C, and completion of the remaining weapons delivery accuracy tests.
“We are well positioned to complete air vehicle full [Block] 3F and mission systems software development by the end of 2017,” Jeff Babione, Lockheed Martin's executive vice-president and general manager for the F-35, said.
The remaining development flight testing includes validating the final release of 3F software, F-35B ski jump testing, F-35B austere site operations, high-Mach Loads testing for both the F-35B and F-35C and completion of the remaining weapons delivery accuracy tests.
Major SDD fleet test milestones in recent months include:
- Completed testing for the F-35A’s final envelope involving high risk ‘edge of the envelope’ maneuvers, stressing the aircraft to its limits in structural strength, vehicle systems performance, and aerodynamics while proving excellent handling qualities.
- Completed all U.K. Weapon Delivery Accuracy tests for the AIM-132 ASRAAM and Paveway IV weapons, and completed 45 of 50 SDD Weapon Delivery Accuracy tests including multiple target and multiple shot engagements as well as internal gun and centerline external pod 25mm gun accuracy tests.
- Performed multi-ship mission effectiveness tests, such as Offensive Counter-Air and Maritime Interdiction, demonstrating the performance of the F-35 System.
Kehitystähän on tapahtunut mutta Suottaapi olla että ei. Ainakin joku on vähän erimieltä, tuossa linkissä lyhyt yhteenveto ja linkki täydelliseen raporttiin.F-35 tracking to SDD flight trials completion by end of year

Active duty and Reserve Airmen at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, recently initiated certification training to load external pylons on F-35A Lightning IIs assigned to the 388th Fighter Wing.
The removable pylons are used to secure external munitions under the aircraft’s wings, greatly enhancing its combat capability.
As a multi-role stealth fighter, the F-35A can be configured to suit a variety of missions. The jet is designed to carry up to 18,000 pounds of munitions on 11 internal and external weapons stations depending on mission requirements.
Until now, maintainers and pilots have been training operationally here with internally-loaded munitions. Mounting the external pylons for the first time operationally is another important milestone in completing our combat capability blueprint, said Col. Michael Miles, 388th Maintenance Group commander.
“Increased weapons payload capability helps the F-35A become the weapons delivery platform of choice for combatant commanders,” Miles said. “It places the Air Force’s only combat capable F-35A unit at the forefront of planning for future combat operations”
The jets won’t employ weapons from the pylons until the “Block 3F” aircraft software upgrade is fielded later this year.
“This training is vital to identifying technical issues with installation procedures that may not have (already) been identified,” said Master Sgt. Cristopher Hilliard, 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
This training provided F-35A maintainers the opportunity to change the jet’s configuration before they’re required to do it in combat or an environment with a high-operations tempo and will provide insight for future operational units across the Air Force, Hilliard said.
In related news, Hyten told me that the he met two weeks ago with the head of European Command, Gen. Curtis Scaparotti, and discussed whether F-35A Joint Strike Fighters needed to be upgraded to carry nuclear weapons with all possible speed.

"Lockheed Martin Corp was awarded a $3.7 billion interim payment for fifty F-35 jet fighters that are earmarked for non-U.S. customers, the Pentagon said on Friday."
Jokin ei täsmää F-35 virallisten suorituskykyarvojen ja noiden nousujen suhteen, joita ovat alkaneet esittämään. Silmämääräisesti se kuuluisa tehopainosuhde olisi kovempi kuin Rafalella, Raptorilla ja Typhoonilla. Tai sitten eivät menetä energiaa samalla tavalla vetäessään pystyyn.

Ihan vaikka lukemalla ilmataistelukuvauksia vaikka Ilmari Juutilaisesta modernimpaan Giora Epsteiniin. Takaa-ajot eivät ole kadonneet. Ja vaikka Mach2 kun seuraa Mach 1.6 lentävää kohdetta, niin eiköhä laukaisu etäisyydelle päästä ihan kohtuu ajassaKun esität tällaisen villin takaa-ajoskenaarion suoraan lännenelokuvista, voisitko antaa myös pari muutakin muuttujaa?

Kannattaa tutkailla videoita tarkemmin.
Tuossa F-35 otti mailin laukan verran vaakasuoraan vauhtia ensin.
Tässä Rafale tekee saman seisovilta jaloilta.
