A little context on my position may help: A little over a year ago, a well placed airforce person complained in my presents[1] using words to the effect that it was supposed to be a effort but the airforce was covering almost all of it. [1] It was intended for the ears of someone else. > >The aft fuselage and empennage (tails and fins) for each F-35 JSF are being >designed, engineered and built at the BAE Systems Samlesbury site, using the >latest in advanced design and manufacturing technology. Score one for the other side of the argument, almost. Was this technology developed because of the spending on the joint fighter or was it something developed for anotehr purpose? The basic argument here is about driving the advances not using them. >The aft-fuselage and empennage will be shipped to Lockheed Martins Fort Worth >plant in the summer of 2005, where they will be joined with the wing and forward >fuselage from Lockheed Martin and the centre fuselage from Northrop Grumman. >Assembly of the initial F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant is >expected to be completed at the end of the year. The first flight of the CTOL >aircraft is scheduled for mid-2006. Since this is their own site. I find it odd that this says "will be" not was. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge
