LAS VEGAS — Pratt & Whitney says oil starvation tests have been conducted on the F135 to clear the engine in advance for the extreme phases of ongoing high angle-of-attack flight tests of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The temporary grounding of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has been lifted after investigators determined the turbine blade crack that prompted the stand down was an isolated event. “Based on the findings from our initial on-wing inspection to our subsequent inspections in our lab, we determined that root cause is sufficiently understood for the F-35 to safely resume flight,” says Pratt & Whitney, the manufacturer of the fighter’s F135 engine.
