새로 조명 되는 F-35의 결함들

 디펜스뉴스가 입수한 문서 내용 보도 중 핵심으로 

간주할 만한 몇가지를 추려 봤습니다.

 

 F-35 조종실내 기압 급상승이 기압장애라 불리우는

귀와 부비강의 극심한 통증을 유발 시킨다네요.

 

 다음으로, 마하 1.2 초과 초음속 비행시 F-35B, C에서 

수평미익과 테일붐의 스텔스코팅이 부글부글 대며

벗겨진다는데 우리가 쓸 A형이 괜찮을런지 자못

궁금 합니다.

 

 그리고, 우리와 같은 외국에서 운영 하는 F-35의

기밀 데이터가 미국으로 넘어가는 걸 막을 방법이

없다는데 이건 어떻게든 해결 하긴 하겠죠.

 

 

 The Pentagon is battling the clock to fix serious, unreported F-35 problems

 

 2019.06.12

 

 According to documents exclusively obtained by Defense News, the F-35 continues

to be marred by flaws and glitches that, if left unfixed, could create risks to pilot safety

and call into question the fighter jet’s ability to accomplish key parts of its mission.

 

 Cabin pressure spikes in the cockpit of the F-35 have been known to cause barotrauma,

the word given to extreme ear and sinus pain.

 

 Supersonic flight in excess of Mach 1.2 can cause structural damage and blistering to

the stealth coating of the F-35B and F-35C.

 

 Both deficiencies were first observed in late 2011 following flutter tests where the F-35B

and F-35C both flew at speeds of Mach 1.3 and Mach 1.4. 

 

 During a post-flight inspection in November 2011, it was discovered the F-35B sustained

“bubbling and blistering” of the stealth coating on both the right and left sides of the

horizontal tail and the tail boom.

 

 During similar tests of the F-35C in December 2011, “thermal damage” that compromised

the structural integrity of the inboard horizontal tail and tail boom were apparent.

 

 The F-35’s logistics system currently has no way for foreign F-35 operators to keep their

secret data from being sent to the United States.
