Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The origins of the F-35 and the amazing challenges the industry had to be overcome go back to a still-secret NATO study that evaluated the vulnerability of air force bases in the West. This spurred development for Short Take off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) fighter aircraft. Only two aircraft with this capability actually entered service, the British Harrier and the Russian Yak-38. However, these aircraft lacked supersonic capability which made them vulnerable to faster fighters. So a programme was initiated for a supersonic STOVL fighter - but the trail of unsuccessful efforts was long. NASA, as well as the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency and private industry, studied advanced STOVL propulsion ideas but without tangible result. It was only when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, at the request of the Marine Corps, issued study contracts for a supersonic STOVL fighter to American industry that real progress began to be made. It was Lockheed Martin that came up finally came up with a design that resulted in the remarkable F-35, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter. In this book, Gerard Keijsper explores the long and difficult journey that customers led to buying the Lockheed Martin F-35. Gerard reveals the story of the F-35 in service and why it is often described as an 'international aircraft'. First flown on 15 December 2006, the F-35 achieved Initial Operational Capability with the US Marine Corps in July 2015, being followed soon after, in August 2016, by the USAF. The US Navy, meanwhile, reached this milestone in February 2019. Other nations that have since purchased the F-35 include the United Kingdom, for both the RAF and the Royal Navy, Israel, under which service the type undertook its first combat mission in 2018, Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Japan, South Korea and Italy. There is also a long list of potential customers. This, then, is a fascinating and highly illustrated study of the F-35 in service which, in Lockheed Martin's own words, is the most lethal, survivable, and connected fighter jet in the world. AUTHOR: Gerard Keijsper has been researching and writing about the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter since it was first conceived. In his previous title on the type, Joint Strike Fighter, which was also published by Pen & Sword, he was assisted in his research by all the international companies involved in the many development programmes that led to the F-35 entering service. His interest in the F-35 contained as the aircraft became operational with an increasing number of countries - the result of which is this new book. Gerard lived in the Ireland for several years working within the tourism industry and has now returned to the Czech Republic where he works in that same capacity. 400 b/w illustrations A fascinating insight into a very topical aircraft design.

Predstavte si program, ktery ma nahradit veskere moderni stihaci letouny v inventari armad NATO a jejich spojencu, tedy vsechny letouny F-16 firmy Lockheed (vice nez 4000 kusu), F-18 firmy Boeing, A-10 Thunderbolt a kolmo startujici letouny Harrier. Americky zbrojni prumysl mel prijit s resenim, jehoz vysledkem by bylo jeste nebezpecnejsi, neviditelnejsi a nezranitelnejsi letadlo, tedy stroj s vetsimi schopnostmi nez jeho predchudci, ale nikoliv prilis drahy. Jak rikaji predstavitele americkych ozbrojenych sil, jde jim o nejvetsi efekt za co nejnizsi cenu. Zni to jako nemozne? Autor teto knihy detailne popisuje nejen tento program, ale i jednotlive technicke studie, ktere jeho realizaci umoznuji. Zaroven venuje pozornost tomu, jak namorni letectvo USA poprve akceptovalo stejny design letounu jako US Force, nebot veskera dosavadni snazeni v tomto smeru byla az dosud neuspesna. Firmy Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman a Boeing pochopily, ze postupne klesaji vydaje na obranu a ze tento program je muze zlomit, nebo jim naopak zajistit budoucnost na dalsich ctyricet let. Text doplnuje vice nez 100 unikatnich barevnych fotografii.…
