F-35 не может садиться в жаркую погоду .
May 15, 2013 13:57
The hi-tech jets that will be flown from the Royal Navy's two new aircraft carriers cannot land on the ships in "hot, humid and low pressure weather conditions", a report warns today.
The version of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) that has been bought for the £5.5bn carriers is still in development but currently cannot land vertically - as its predecessor the Harrier jump jet could - in warm climates without jettisoning heavy payloads, the
National Audit Office
says.
Though the
Ministry of Defence
insists the problem will be overcome by the time the first carrier is ready for service in 2020, it is one of a number of concerns pointed out by the NAO over a project that has been bedevilled by delays and cost increases.
The spending watchdog says the early warning
"Crowsnest" radar
needed by the carriers will not be fully operational until 2022, meaning the ships will need protection from other navy vessels for two years while trials are completed
