F 35 a lightning ii, usa - joint strike fighter aircrafthindujudaic
The document summarizes the F-35A Lightning II, the conventional take-off and landing variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. It is a single-seat, single-engine stealth fighter being developed by Lockheed Martin for the US Air Force and allies. It is designed for multi-role missions including air defense, ground attack, and reconnaissance, and will replace F-16s and A-10s. Key features include its AESA radar, DAS missile warning system, internal gun, and ability to carry up to 8,100kg of weapons internally and 6,800kg externally.
Air Force Association - F-22 Versus F-35 ComparisonTommy Toy
The document summarizes the complementary capabilities of the F-22A and F-35A fifth generation fighter aircraft. It describes their different but complementary missions, including air superiority for the F-22A and strike capability for the F-35A. Their stealth, sensors, and weapons allow them to penetrate hostile airspace and eliminate threat sanctuaries that non-stealthy aircraft cannot access in a timely manner for time-sensitive targets. Together they provide expanded and flexible options for responding to emerging threats compared to older legacy fighters.
The document provides information on the F-35 Lightning II strike fighter program, including its vision, mission statement, and key attributes and capabilities. It describes the three variants - Conventional Take-Off and Landing (CTOL), Carrier Variant (CV), and Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) - and notes their commonality. It outlines requirements from the US and international partners and discusses how the F-35 enables true joint and coalition operations.
Lockheed Martin F35 Lightning II(Propulsion Presentation)SYEDMOEEDHUSSAIN1
The Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan engine provides propulsion for the F-35 Lightning II. It generates 25,000 lbf of dry thrust and up to 42,000 lbf with afterburner. Key components that enable vertical takeoff and landing include the exhaust nozzle, lift fan, and roll posts. The F-35 can conduct aerial refueling using the aerial boom system or probe-and-drogue system and carries jet fuel in internal and external fuel tanks with a total capacity of up to 15,770 liters.
The F-35 is designed to work with most legacy weapons.
And the F-35 with the internal fusion engine will allow a whole new approach to the development and use of weapons. Here the focus is upon the legacy weapons.
Legacy 4th generation fighters must load all of their weapons externally which directly impacts aerodynamic performance (agility) and radar cross-section (RCS).
In fact, any strides made to reduce airframe RCS are lost.
5th generation have the option of loading stores internally.
Legacy 4th gen fighters must carry external fuel tanks in order to overcome the drag penalty of the external ordinance.
The F-35 does not need external fuel tanks for two reasons:
1) the airframe was specifically designed to carry significant amounts of internal fuel and,
2) there is no aerodynamic drag from internal ordinance.
A 4th gen fighter is unable to safely penetrate denied airspace. This is airspace for which the threats are able to dominate entirely against the 4th generation.
5th gen fighters are able to penetrate denied airspace.
The internal ordinance of an F-35 is approximately that of an F-16 loaded “wall to wall.”
Because the weapons are internal, the F-35 has a much longer combat range fully loaded or significantly longer loiter time in the area of interest.
In the permissive environment, the F-35 holds another advantage over the F-16: payload.
The F-35 has 11 hard points and can carry about three times the stores load.
External weapons on an F-35 impact aerodynamic performance such that our range is about the same as an F-16.
The picture in slide 4shows an F-35A model with a full compliment of internal stores.
This loadout, which is all internal, is about 5000lbs.
Internal carriage means ZERO impact on radar cross section and ZERO aerodynamic drag.
An F-16, fully loaded, with external stores carries just over 5000lbs and because the load is external the radar cross sections is severely impacted as well as having a significant hit to aerodynamic performance.
The weapons within the blue cone can be carried internally.
The weapons with orange color font will be certified for carry in the SDD phase of the program.
Block 2 weapons carriage and release will be conducted this year.
By the end of block 2, AIM-120 and JDAM will be certified.
On day 1, when stealth is of primary importance, the F-35s will probably be loaded internally.
When stealth is less important, there are 11 hard points on the airplane, which allow about 18,000lbs of ordinance to be carried.
The document summarizes various issues with the F-22 program including rising costs, reduced orders over time, maintenance problems discovered during production, very high operating costs compared to other fighters, insufficient numbers produced, and potential vulnerabilities to modern anti-stealth technologies. It argues the F-22's capabilities have been overstated and that the program has been mismanaged, producing an aircraft in numbers too small to be strategically significant.

F-35, Stealth and Designing a 21st Century Fighter from the Ground UpICSA, LLC
Stealth must be designed into the aircraft; it can NOT be done after the fact.
VLO stealth must be planned for and built in. The designers must incorporate large internal fuel tanks, internal weapon bays, and internally mounted sensors with appropriate apertures.
Another hallmark of 5th generation is agility, which goes hand in hand with stealth.
In the third slide, the results from Northern Edge 2011 are shown. Although the F-35 airframe has not been flown in Northern Edge some it sensors have been.
The sensors performed extremely well and portend a bright future. It is understood by most that the electronic order of battle will play a key role in future conflicts.
What the exercise showed was that a stealthy 5TH Gen. fighter -- the F-22 -- with its ability to be forward deployed in contested air space
In addition to its precision active and passive sensors were able to ID threats; EW sites, SAMS, AAA radars for entire package much sooner.
The presence of 5th Gen fighters in the force package increases overall forces mission effectiveness by enhancing survivability and lethality for entire package.
It showed as well that 5th Gen fighters enhanced battle-space awareness enhanced overall mission effectiveness of entire mission package
And finally, the exercise showed that 5th Gen fighters with this enhanced SA tend to function as Air Battle manager for entire package.
Even when F-22 was weapon bingo it stayed in fight as battle manager!
The F-35 Cockpit: Enabling the Pilot as a Tactical Decision Maker
Dr. Michael L. Skaff created this briefing. Skaff described his background in a recent interview as follows:
I was an F-16 pilot out of the Air Force Academy. I was prior enlisted, and I’ve been with Lockheed Martin for about 23 years working on the F-35 cockpit since ’95. I flew out of MacDill, Shaw, and Luke during the Cold War.
For a full discussion with Skaff regarding the baseline F-35 please see

It highlights that the F-22 and F-35 each have complementary and optimized roles, with the F-22 focused on air superiority due to its speed, maneuverability and larger internal weapons capacity, and the F-35 focused on global precision attack thanks to its sensors and increased weapons payload. Maintaining a mix of both fighters is presented as critical to addressing 21st century air threats.
F 22 a raptor, usa - advanced tactical fighter aircrafthindujudaic
The F-22A Raptor is an advanced single-seat twin-engine stealth fighter aircraft developed for the US Air Force. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor responsible for the majority of the airframe and weapon systems. The Raptor has unprecedented air combat capabilities due to its stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney afterburning turbofan engines and has an internal cannon and capacity for six AIM-120 AMRAAMs or other weapons internally and on external hardpoints.
This document discusses the importance of air dominance for the US military and argues that procuring 381 F-22 Raptors and 1,763 F-35 Lightning IIs is the required course of action. It notes that threats to air dominance are increasing as competitors develop new fighters and air defense systems. Maintaining aging US fighter fleets has high costs and risks. The F-22 and F-35 are presented as complementary systems needed to ensure air superiority and support ground forces against evolving threats now and in the future.
Combat Systems Fusion Engine for the F-35ICSA, LLC
Michael Skaff of Lockheed Martin and the Principal Engineer for the F-35’s pilot vehicle interface explains the combat systems and their integration in the F-35. This capability is inherent in every F-35 or part of the baseline aircraft. In a real sense software development is never done; it is part of the evolving capability of the aircraft.
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a single-seat stealth fighter jet developed for the US Air Force. It was designed primarily for air superiority but can also perform ground attack, electronic warfare, and intelligence roles. The F-22 has an all-digital glass cockpit and was engineered for very low visibility to radar through its airframe design and use of radar-absorbing materials. It carries advanced avionics like radar warning receivers, infrared sensors, and the highly complex AN/APG-77 active electronically scanned array radar.
The document compares three European fighter jets: the Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, and Saab Gripen. It provides details on the aircraft, including that the Typhoon and Rafale have two engines while the Gripen has a single engine, and that the Rafale and Gripen have canards while the Typhoon has air intakes under its fuselage. It also notes that two-seat versions exist for each aircraft model. The document then presents a short test about the aircraft.
Attack Operations (AO) are conducted to destroy enemy missiles and supporting infrastructure before launch. This
reduces the threat to defensive forces. AO can range throughout enemy territory and are conducted at the initiative of friendly forces.
In Practice: Difficult to achieve perfect intelligence and surveillance to locate all missiles and infrastructure; political constraints on
preemptive action; risk of escalation; enemy may have mobile/concealed forces
The document summarizes the history and development of gyro gunsights used in aircraft from World War 2 through the Cold War. Gyro gunsights automatically calculated the lead angle and bullet drop needed for a pilot to hit a moving target. The first operational gyro gunsight was the British Mark I in 1941. Improved models like the Mark II saw widespread use through the end of WWII. Germany developed the EZ 42 gyro sight but it did not see full deployment. The US developed the AN/ASG-26 for the F-4 Phantom, which provided targeting information via a head-up display.
This document discusses Lockheed Martin's focus on affordability for the F-35 Lightning II fighter jet program. It summarizes the three main variants of the F-35—the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variant, the F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing variant, and the F-35C carrier-based catapult takeoff variant. It also outlines Lockheed Martin's goals of achieving economies of scale through design commonality across variants, implementing new lean manufacturing processes to reduce costs over time, and engaging international partners in the production process.
BVR combat was, for a long time, dream of both Western and Asian air forces. Today, it seems that the dream has been finally fulfilled; but is that really so?
The document compares 4th generation fighters the F-15 and Su-27. It notes that the Su-27 was intended to surpass the F-15 in overall capability with improvements like 10% larger dimensions and engines for greater thrust. The Su-27 also has a more optimized cross-section and internal fuel capacity for comparable range to rivals using external tanks. Both fighters improved maneuverability over previous generations with innovations like larger wings, more powerful engines, and advanced flight control systems.
The document summarizes information about the F-35 Lightning II, a 5th generation international multirole fighter aircraft.

Anuj Gupta presented on stealth technology and its applications in aircraft. Stealth techniques make aircraft almost invisible to radar by reducing their radar cross-section. This is achieved through shape design that buries engines and has acute angles, use of radar absorbing materials on surfaces, and reducing heat signatures. While stealth aircraft have military advantages like invisibility, they have disadvantages in payload capacity and maneuverability compared to conventional aircraft. Current and future stealth aircraft under development include the American F-22, Chinese J-20, and Russian-Indian T-50.

Island Air Defence: Challenges, Novel Surveillance Concepts and Advanced Rada...Ashwin Samales
By Yeo Siew Yam, Yeo Jiunn Wah and Henry Yip
The present-day air defence surveillance system is designed to detect threats originating from external airspace in a conventional military conflict, such as one involving multiple fast-flying fighters, helicopters and missiles. However, the operational environment has evolved to be far more challenging and complex over the past decade, with the emergence of stealthier targets that make better use of terrain to avoid detection. At the same time, there is always a desire to see further than the enemy and to obtain more information about the target. This paper aims to identify the inadequacies of the present-day air defence radar system and to propose some novel sensor solutions which include Ultra High Frequency/ Very High Frequency radar, bi-static/multi-static and passive radar, elevated sensors, High Frequency surface wave radar and non-cooperative target recognition techniques. The advantages, challenges and cost effectiveness of these advanced techniques will be analysed to develop a picture of future surveillance systems.
The document discusses stealth technology, how it works to reduce detection by radar through shaping of aircraft and use of radar absorbing materials, and provides examples of stealth aircraft like the B-2 bomber which uses curved shapes and composite radar absorbing materials to deflect radar waves and has its engines and exhaust designed to reduce heat signatures. It also discusses the history and development of stealth technology as well as potential future applications.
This document discusses stealth technology, which uses designs and materials to make military vehicles like aircraft, ships, and missiles harder to detect by radar or other sensors. It provides examples like the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, which has flat radar-absorbing surfaces, buried engines, and an internal weapons bay to reduce its radar cross-section. Radar absorbing materials coat stealth vehicles to absorb radar waves without reflection. While stealth technology provides advantages like surprise attacks, it also has limitations such as reduced speed, maneuverability, and payload capacity compared to conventional vehicles.
Vanguard Magazine - The Joint Strike Fighter: Driven By DataDragon029
The document discusses the capabilities of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and argues it is a generational leap in technology compared to fourth generation fighters. It describes some of the F-35's classified sensors and systems, including its powerful AESA radar that can automatically fuse data from thousands of sensors. The F-35 pilot has access to near-perfect information from many sources and can operate as a tactician rather than technician. The F-35's array of sensors allow it to engage targets from long range while maintaining stealth.
We will introduce a development of a mini-quad rotor system for indoor application at Keokuk University. The propulsion system consists of X-UFO blade propellers and brushless direct current (DC) motors assembled on a very stiff ai rframe made of carbon fiber composite material. The attitude control system consists of a stab ility augmentation system as the inner loop control and a modern control approach as the outer lo op. The closed-loop contro l is a PID controller,which is used for the flight test to valid ate our aerodynamic mode ling. To perform an experimental flight test,basic electronics hardware will de velop in a simple configuration. We will use an AVR microcontroller as the embe dded controller,a low-cost 100 Hz AHRS for inertial sensing,infrared (IR) sensors for horizontal ranging,and an ultrasonic sensor for ground ranging. A high performance propeller system is built on an X-UFO quad rotor airframe. The developing flying robot is shown to have an automatic hovering ability with aid of a ground control system that uses mon itoring and a fail-safe system. We will introduce a new quad rotor platform for realizing autonomous navigation in unknown indoor/outdoor environments. Au tonomous waypoint navigation,obs tacle avoidance and flight control is implemented on-board. The system does not require a special environment,artificial markers or an external reference system. We will develop a monolithic,mechanically damped perception unit which is equipped with a stereo camera pair,an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU),two processor and an FPGA board.
Stealth technology uses materials and aircraft shaping to make planes harder to detect on radar. It absorbs or deflects radar signals away from their source. Early stealth planes like the F-117 had flat, angled surfaces. Modern stealth aircraft also use radar absorbing materials and internal engines to minimize heat signatures detectable by infrared. Stealth aircraft give militaries an advantage in conducting surprise attacks on high value targets.

F-35’s Multi-Mission CAPABILITY
The F-35 is designed with the entire battlespace in mind
- air-to-air combat,
- air-to-ground strikes,
- electronic attack,
- intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance — can now be executed by a squadron of F-35s.
Electronic Attack
Advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities enable F-35 pilots to
- locate and track enemy forces,
- jam radars and disrupt attacks with unparalleled effectiveness.
- Advanced avionics give the pilot real-time 360-degree coverage .
This system allows F-35 pilots to reach well-defended targets and suppress enemy radars.
29. 2
Air-to-surface
- Using precision-guided ammunitions and air-to-air radar-guided missiles
- Active Electronically-ScannedArray (AESA) radar technology, indoor weapon and fuel bay allows F-35
pilots to engage ground targets at longer ranges without being detected and tracked
Air-to-air
- The F-35’s integrated sensors, information and weapons systems give pilots an advantage over potential
threat front-line fighter aircraft.
- 5th Generation fighter pilot can see enemy aircraft first and take decisive, lethal action from a stand-off
distance. The ability to see and not be seen is redefining previous generation air-to-air tactics.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
This ISR is performed by a core processor that does 400 billion operations per second, collects data from
the classified electronic warfare suite, developed by BAE Systems, to identify enemy radar and electronic
warfare emissions recommending which target to attack and whether pilot should use either kinetic or
electronic means to counter or negate the threat.The information gathered by F-35 sensors can be securely
shared with commanders at sea, in the air or on the ground, providing a comprehensive view of ongoing
operations.
30. 3
Interoperability
For the coalition joint strike force, the inter-operable F-35 is clearly the aircraft for the leadership role. The F-
35 is designed to share everything it can see with other aircraft and operation centers to expand
situational awareness across the entire network of aircraft. F-35s can support legacy aircraft, as well as other
F-35s.
Distributed Aperture System (DAS)
The DAS surrounds the aircraft with six
electro-optical sensors that creates a
protective sphere of situational awareness.
It warns the pilot of incoming aircraft and
missile threats
DAS provides:
1. Missile detection and tracking
2. Launch point detection
3. Weapons support
4. Day/night navigation & vision.
5. Precision tracking of wingmen/friendly
aircraft for tactical maneuvering.
