摘要

The multinational Joint Strike Fighter drew fire last year from all sides, including its international customers, the U.S. Congress and—most publicly—then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates owing to ballooning cost, delayed deliveries and unacceptably slow testing progress. Gates admonished prime contractor Lockheed Martin by withholding more than $600 million of award fee, fired the project's two-star general officer, and slowed the development and production portions of theF-35, the largest single aviation program in Pentagon history. Seven months into 2011, Vice Adm. David Venlet has begun to express cautious optimism about the numerous steps needed to begin pilot training in the fall, progress toward ship-based trials of the F-35B short-takeoff-and-vertical-landing (Stovl) Marine Corps variant, and improvements in the overall pace of testing. These are key strides toward fielding the stealthy, single-engine F-35 in the U.S. and abroad, but years of work still lie ahead. Senior Pentagon Editor Amy Butler was given exclusive access to view a portion of the trials at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., designed to validate models for the interface between the carrier-based F-35C and the jet-blast deflectors, which are used for catapult launches from ships.
