Mielenkiintoinen kommenttiketju Redditissä, Navyn ja USAF:n lentäjien näkemyksiä F-35:ta ja kaksi/yksimoottorisuudesta puolin ja toisin. Kannattaa lukea kommentoijia joiden nimen perässä näkyy konetyyppi.
Tässä taisi olla se pätkä missä 1vs2 moottorisen koneen erot tiivistetysti F/A-18 Super Hornet pilotilta (joka lentänyt myös F16):

>>I got my information from a F-35 critic,Well as a pilot who actually flies these things, you can take my word for it that the redundancy of two engines is highly desired. I’m not saying the F-35 is a bad airplane. I’m saying having one engine is a draw back, as the USMC just demonstrated.
>>defens issues.net...you’re seriously going to reference some post from some opinionated civilian?
>>BTW I’m just trying to have a discussion...It takes a great deal of arrogance to tell someone who does this for a living that they’re wrong and that you know better because you read about it.
It’s plain and simple. When you have two engines, you have more options if you have a mechanical problem. Options are good. Any time you have a single-point of failure, you aren’t as safe as you could be.
Want some more examples?
When I’m flying 100 miles off the coast and I hear “deedle deedle” and see low oil pressure in one engine, I calmly shut that engine off and fly home. I may even orbit over the water to dump fuel. Very relaxed.
- F-16s have to do an engine run up at the hold short to verify that nothing is wrong. F-18s do not. We just go because we know we can climb out on one engine if we have to.
- F-16s have to come into the break at 400 knots because they need the energy to fly an emergency profile if they have engine trouble approaching the runway. F-18s have no such requirement.
- F-16 pilots have to practice flying emergency profiles, simulating impending engine failure. F-18 pilots don’t have to practice that at all, because there is no instance of both engines independently malfunctioning at the same time.
If I have that same issue in an F-16, I go “oh fuck” immediately point at the coast, climb as high as I can, set the throttle at a mid range power setting where the engine least likely to seize, and land as soon as humanly possible, praying the engine doesn’t give up on me.
That is the nature of only having one engine. When something goes wrong, you have no options.
