The US Navy had a problem with the new class nuclear aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, associated with the inability to run the ship F-35C fighter aircraft of the latest, which should form the basis Wing. According to “Expanded” with reference to The Drive, The US Congress has declared intention to veto the decision to adopt a second aircraft carrier to finish building of this type, If the problem is resolved.
The second carrier of this type John F. Kennedy is currently being completed and is to be launched at the end of the year and turned over to the Navy in 2024 year. but, if the problem is with the F-35C aircraft will not be solved, US Congress may impose a ban on his entry to the composition of the Navy. Position on this is included in the policy on defense bill 2020 year by the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives.
by assumption,, the problems with the F-35C flight associated with the latest electromagnetic catapults and arresting gear, which are installed on a new type of aircraft carriers instead of the steam catapult and hydraulic rope coils. At the request of their creators, the new system had to be more powerful than their predecessors, but in reality, mass driver can not disperse deck version of the F-35s to takeoff speed.
As previously reported, at the time of head carrier Gerald R Test. Ford in February 2019 of the year, his bead could fly only fighter F / A-18 Super Hornet and EW planes EA-18G Growler. Aircraft scrambled without arms and with constraints on fuel, off completely fueled and armed cars proved impossible.
F-35C multi-role fighter designed specifically for use on board aircraft carriers, the US Navy and the UK (London refused to purchase from). The plane takes off from an aircraft carrier using a catapult and lands with the help of arresting gear.
Earlier, US Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer said, Donald Trump has promised to fire him, if the problem is with catapults and elevators for ammunition (another one “disease” Gerald R. Ford )on new aircraft carriers will not be solved until the end of the summer.
