F35 JSF Actualité

A new Canadian government report suggests other fighter jets are just as capable as the [url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/Lockheed Martin.html]Lockheed Martin[/url] F-35A at fulfilling the nation’s most likely mission needs, potentially opening the door to a competitive acquisition process to replace a fleet of 77 Boeing CF-18s.
Four aircraft – the [url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/Lockheed Martin F-35.html]F-35[/url], the Boeing F/A-18E/F [url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/Super Hornet.html]Super Hornet[/url], [url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/Dassault Rafale.html]Dassault Rafale[/url] and [url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/Eurofighter Typhoon.html]Eurofighter Typhoon[/url] – were compared in the report, called the Evaluation of Options for the Replacement of the CF-18 Fighter Fleet.
Each was assessed on its ability to carry out six mission sets including defence of Canadian airspace, responding to an “international event”, such as the Olympics, in Canada or a terrorist attack, peace enforcement, humanitarian disaster relief and state-on-state war fighting.
All aircraft were deemed low-risk candidates to perform each of the missions up to 2030 and beyond, except in fighting another peer nation. In that category, all the aircraft were deemed a higher risk platform beyond 2030 and none distinguished itself.
