WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, according to China’s National Defense Science and Technology Information Network reported Loma Secretary solve the U.S. Navy F-35C fighter tail hook design solutions close baked.
original design in the early testing can not be hooked for two reasons: First, tail hook tip is insufficient sharp, can not ensure that the hook to block the cable from the lower part of the “blocking cable; second is the damper failed to ensure that the tail hook “seize” blocking cable. The result is a tail hook is in bouncing when landing status, reducing the successful implementation of the success rate of blocking landing.
Lockheed Martin as the prime contractor for the F-35 fighter, the tail hook has been redesigned to solve the above problems. Test, sharpened the hook tip, but not modify a temporary damper design successfully captures the tail hook. The tail hook was found nearly a year ago, re-design work started immediately.
