Experts in Japan, commenting on the disaster, which a few months ago there was an F-35 fighter, continue to express concerns over the incident with the plane. Recall, that the fighter, that was manufactured in Japan under an American license, I dropped into the water near the air base Misawa. originally reported, that the pilot did not file a distress call. Until now, the official report about the case of Japan, the Ministry of Defense not published.
Against this background, experts say, in Japan by and large there is no full-fledged school for fighter pilots of the 5th generation. In particular, states, that pilots are forced to acquire skills piloting the F-35 fighter is literally in the cockpit. In this regard, notes, that recorded cases of dumping fighter into a tailspin, to exit from which pilots recommended Japanese so-called parachute antispin. How they managed to master this technique, question still unanswered.
Whether there has been dumping of the aircraft into a spin in the fatal case, as well as the, whether by plane parachute antispin, not officially reported. However, in Japanese media in the first days after F-35 in water drop wrote, that the other fighter pilots saw, as the F-35 dramatically stepped aside from them, and then began to lose altitude.
The photo above presented design antispin (PSP) a fighter F-35A US Air Force. Earlier it was planned equipment version antispin fighter missiles because of the "danger of tripping PN sequence mode is usually flying with a sharp decrease". However, it antispin parachutes, reportedly is given priority in the aircraft of the 5th generation of the Air Force and the US Navy. When triggered, the parachute disappears “snap rotation”, that allows the pilot to level the machine and start the climb, PN sequence shooting. Another question, even if the F-35 Air Force entered Japan in tailspin, he could do something to help antispin parachute in case, eg, acute lack of oxygen, previously reported?
