Landing speeds for naval aircraft?
Here is a topic for discussion.....
The E/F "Rhino" comes in fast and heavy. The gear on Nimitz class is taking a heavy toll and is wearing out faster than the design was intended. The "Growler" will come in heavier and faster. Can the current configuration of the arresting gear handle it and not have catastrophic fatigue failure without major modification? I've heard the arresting gear is being overhauled on USS Reagan IOT support Operational Test for Growler. |
