STOVL Jet Prepares for Vertical Landing
STOVL Jet Prepares for Vertical Landingmarch 11, 2010 4:39:00 PM
NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Md, -- The first Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT] F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter passes overhead at 40 knots (46 mph) prior to a slow landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., on Wednesday, March 10. The flight was one of the last missions before the aircraft's first vertical landing, and confirmed the jet's power and controllability at very low speeds. The aircraft's short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) propulsion system generates more than 41,000 pounds of vertical thrust, and enables airspeeds from zero to Mach 1.6. The F-35B will be flown by the United States Marine Corps, the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and the Italian Air Force and Navy. It will be capable of operating from small ships and austere bases near front-line combat zones. F-35 Lead STOVL Pilot Graham Tomlinson was at the controls for Wednesday's flight.

Eurofighter: 200 Aircraft in service, Nothing Comes Close
The 200th Eurofighter Typhoon produced by the four partner companies of the European consortium, was delivered by EADS Deutschland to the German Luftwaffe today during a ceremony held in Manching, close to Munich, Germany. This milestone makes the Eurofighter Typhoon the only new generation multi-role aircraft to reach the impressive figure of 200 examples in service.
The Typhoons – produced by EADS Deutschland, EADS CASA, BAE Systems and Alenia Aeronautica – are now in service with 12 units in six air forces replacing 11 aircraft types, thus confirming that the Eurofighter is not only the best performing multi-role aircraft available on the market but also the most effective and best value solution to meet the air defence requirements of air forces and nations worldwide. To date the fleet has flown over 70,000 flying hours in total with above average operational availability and unmatched operational performances.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is the choice of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Austrian Air Forces which have in total ordered 707 aircraft. Recently, four Royal Air Force Typhoon aircraft flew a record breaking flight of 18 hours to the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Sea, to take over Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) duties from the Tornado F3s. In similar operational roles, the Luftwaffe has been on NATO air policing duties in the Baltic states; the Italian Air Force is carrying out air policing duties over Albania and the Austrian Air Force – that has received all 15 ordered aircraft – provided security for the air space over a NATO Defence Ministers event in Slovakia.
Enzo Casolini, Eurofighter GmbH CEO, said: “This milestone is the best example of the success of this joint European programme. The Eurofighter Typhoon is not only the world’s leading frontline combat aircraft but is also the biggest industrial collaboration in Europe. Confirming the plan agreed in the past by the four nations for the production of this aircraft means the Eurofighter can keep securing 100,000 jobs across 400 different companies and the huge benefits provided to the four nations’ economies for long terms”.

Eurofighter: 600 million euro contract signed to support the Italian Air Force fleet — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Events, Military Aviation, Press Releases, production program
Eurofighter: 600 million euro contract signed to support the Italian Air Force fleet
Eurofighter GmbH has today signed a five year contract worth more than 600 million Euros with NETMA (NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency) to provide an integrated support solution service to the Italian Air Force’s Typhoon fleet for a period of five
years.
The contract work will be led by Eurofighter Partner Company Alenia Aeronautica, who will undertake the job on behalf of Eurofighter GmbH together with its suppliers SELEX Galileo, SELEX Communications and ELETTRONICA.
Eurofighter, its partner companies and suppliers have been working alongside the Italian Ministry of Defence for the past 18 months in a partnered approach to develop an Integrated Supply Chain Management Service (ISCMS) support solution. This collaboration will ensure
the best possible performance of the aircraft and will sustain the high operational availability shown by the Typhoon fleet in Italy, delivering substantial cost savings for the customer.
The ISCMS contract, meets the Eurofighter Typhoon requirement to reduce maintenance costs as proposed by the NETMA nations providing the customer with a value for money service based solutions. These include avionic equipment availability, repair of general systems equipment, provision of consumables and the maintenance of aircraft ground equipment. This will lead to a reduction in costs, improved availability of equipment and the transfer of risk to industry; traditionally held by the customer.
This deal draws on best practice and lessons learnt from previous in-service support contracts and underpins the commitment of Eurofighter GmbH, its partner companies and supplier companies to deliver an integrated in-service support solution to the customer Air
Forces.
The Contract will support Italian Air Force technical and logistical support activities at the air bases of Grosseto and Gioia del Colle and at 1st RMV, Reparto Manutenzione Velivoli of Cameri, the main logistic base of the Italian Air Force. Enzo Casolini, Eurofighter CEO said “This contract, similar to the one signed recently to support the Royal Air Force’s Typhoon fleet, is the best example of the commitment from Eurofighter to answer the customer request for a new concept of technical support. Today the Typhoon is a mature platform. The lessons learnt, the excellent performance of the aircraft in service and the high operational availability of the Typhoon fleets has enabled us to evolve our support of logistical activities – a process that will enable us to continually evolve the services we offer both our current customers and future export customers”.
The Italian Typhoons have been ensuring since last summer, on a NATO mandate, that the air space of Albania, a country lacking it’s own aircraft to perform this role, is protected. The 4th Air Wing operates with two Squadrons – 9 and 20. The latter is an Operational Conversion Unit for the pilots’ transition to the Eurofighter fleet. On the 21st of June 2009, the Air Wing obtained NATO’s certification to accomplish out-of-
area missions in support of peace within the NATO Response Force.

Eurofighter: the Italian Air Force 4th Stormo reach 10,000 flight hours with the Eurofighter Typhoon — Press Release
Eurofighter: the Italian Air Force 4th Stormo reach 10,000 flight hours with the Eurofighter Typhoon
The 4th Air Wing of the Italian Air Force have reached the key milestone of 10,000 flight hours with the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Based in Grosseto, in central Italy, the 4th Air Wing was the first Italian Air Force unit to receive the Typhoon in 2004. To celebrate the event, which was attended by the Italian Air Force’s Chief of Staff Daniele Tei, one of the aircraft from the squadron sported a special paint scheme on its fin.
Italian’s Typhoons are used for the vital role of assuring the security of Italy’s national air space.
The Italian Air Force assures surveillance and defence of the national air space 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, through an integrated system of radar, aircraft and missile systems, with the systems of the other NATO member countries. In addition to Grosseto’s 4th Air Wing, the 36th Air Wing of Gioia del Colle is also equipped with Eurofighter Typhoons and is committed to performing immediate take-off and interception in the event of alarm. In addition, Cervia’s 5th Air Wing (near Ravenna on the eastern coast) and Trapani’s 37th Air Wing in Siciliy accomplish these duties.
The Italian Typhoons have been ensuring since last summer, on a NATO mandate, that the air space of Albania, a country lacking it’s own aircraft to perform this role, is protected. The 4th Air Wing operates with two Squadrons – 9 and 20. The latter is an Operational Conversion Unit for the pilots’ transition to the Eurofighter fleet.

Successful first operational NATO assessment of a Eurofighter Wing — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Countries, EADS, Germany, Italy, Military Aviation, production program
Successful first operational NATO assessment of a Eurofighter Wing
Excellent results were achieved after the first operational evaluation made by NATO of a Eurofighter Typhoon Wing. A NATO evaluation team certified the Italian Air Force’s 4th Fighter Wing at the Grosseto Base as a NATO Quick Response Force.
This means that the 4th Wing becomes the first Eurofighter flight unit to obtain this important NATO certification.
The operational evaluation took place during the “Operation Discrete Jury” exercise, which tested the ability of the 4th Wing to be deployed abroad for peace-keeping and peace-making missions.
The exercise involved many air wings’ activities, from rescue to telecommunication services, self-defence and survival capabilities and, more particularly, logistic support, maintenance and flight operations. It was in this very field that the operations of the Grosseto Base’s Typhoons were positively evaluated, having demonstrated excellent operational availability and compliance with national and NATO’s operational requirement.
Enzo Casolini, Eurofighter CEO, said: “We are very pleased that the first Wing of Eurofighter Typhoon has achieved such an important goal. This clearly demonstrates the maturity of the Eurofighter programme as well as highlighting the capabilities of the aircraft and its operational availability which reached a very high level”.
The 4th Fighter Wing, together with the 5th Wing of Cervia, the 36th of Gioia del Colle and the 37th of Trapani, is one of the Italian Air Force units assigned to the control of Italian airspace 24 hours a day all year round.
Within the 4th Fighter Wing, the 20 Squadron is also active with its twin-seat Typhoons which are tasked with the “transition” of Italian pilots assigned to the Eurofighter Squadrons.
