På ingen måte overraskende for noen vil jeg tro, men jeg er sånn passe naiv, bare ikke overfor navnebror Gram. Han burde vite best. Men slår man i hop det du kan lese og attpå til legger til flyttingen av 333 skv. til Evenes fra en fullt operativ base med god plass, da striker det hos meg altså. Kostnadene  kan man si følgende om: Voldsomme og uoversiktlige. Skam dere politikere som ikke forsto det. Det er dere som er mye skyld i at Forsvaret får kjøre sitt eget ekstremt kostbare løp som en stat i staten. (Sendt fra Fontane Bianche) (Red.)

Nå drar bloggen på ferie igjen......

 

....og som vanlig på høsten, er Sicilia målet. Vi kjører forbi Sigonella og jeg skal kikke etter spennende aktiviteter. Mulighetene for å blogge er begrenset, men er det noen voldsomme greier på gang har jeg sikkert kommentarer. Vi har reist over hele øya stykkevis og delt. Vi trives best helt i sørøst og nå blir det Siracusa og Scicli. Med dette signerer jeg av for en stund, kanskje......

Ikke nok våpen til alle Norges kampfly

Hvis Norge blir angrepet og kampflyene skal slåss i lufta mot fiendtlige jagerfly, er det ikke nok missiler til å bevæpne alle flyene samtidig.

I 2019 gjennomførte et norsk F-35-kampfly for første gang testskyting av AMRAAM-missiler over norsk jord. Det er disse missilene Norge har få av.

Norge har kjøpt nye kampfly av typen F-35 til mange titalls milliarder kroner. Kjøpet har vært omtalt som den største investeringen i offentlig sektor gjennom tidene.

Flyene er sentrale i hvordan Norge skal forsvares om en fiende angriper.

I 2022 tok de nye flyene over beredskapsansvaret. Fra da av var det F-35 som skulle forsvare Norge fra lufta. F-16-flyene ble pensjonert og satt på bakken.

Nå kan NRK fortelle at ammunisjonsbeholdningen av den viktigste våpentypen til de nye kampflyene er svært lav.

Hvis Norge blir angrepet og kampflyene skal slåss i lufta mot fiendtlige jagerfly, er det ikke nok slike missiler til å bevæpne alle flyene samtidig.

Russisk militærfly krenket japansk luftrom tre ganger

Japanske kampfly rykket ut.

– Krenkelsen av vårt luftrom er svært beklagelig, og vi har i dag protestert på det sterkeste overfor russiske myndigheter via diplomatiske kanaler, samtidig som vi på det sterkeste ber dem om å forhindre en gjentakelse.

Det sier japans forsvarsvarsminister Minoru Kihara etter at et russisk overvåkingsfly fløy inn i japansk luftrom mandag, ifølge avisen Times of Japan.

Ifølge det japanske forsvarsdepartementet kom det russiske flyet av typen Il-38 seg inn i luftrommet rundt den japanske Rebun-øya tre ganger.

Nyhetsbyrået Reuters skriver at japanske kampfly advarte det russiske mannskapet før de avfyrte narrebluss for tydeliggjøre advarselen da flyet tok seg inn i japansk luftrom for tredje gang.

Ifølge Kihara var krenkelsen den første gjort av et russisk militærfly siden 2019, som også er delt med offentligheten.

eVTOL SFAR Expected In October

New rules covering pilot certification and operations of eVTOLs are expected next month.

Russ Niles

Updated Sep 22, 2024 6:36 AM EDT

The FAA's long-awaited rules governing the operation of eVTOL (powered-lift) aircraft will be released in October, a couple of months ahead of the date mandated by Congress, according to a senior Department of Transportation official. Various outlets reported that Christopher Coes, acting undersecretary of transportation for policy for the U.S. Department of Transportation, told Honeywell's Advanced Air Mobility Summit on Thursday the Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for Integration of Powered Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations is being finalized.

Coes told the summit the document addresses the concerns raised by industry stakeholders following the release of the first proposed SFAR a year ago. Those concerns centered on the divergence from normal standards and qualifications for pilots along with technical concerns regarding controls, energy reserves and training devices. Coes said he believes they've figured it out. “I think you'll see it is quite responsive to the comments.”

This document will form the basis for the commencement of the much-vaunted eVTOL era and its integration to the existing air transportation system. Much of the aircraft certification process that is moving in parallel to the operational regs depends on the new rules to give manufacturers something to conform to. Coes said he expects the first certifications to start rolling out in 2025.

Boom XB-1 fourth flight

Boom’s XB-1 aircraft, a prototype for the upcoming Overture supersonic airliner, completed its fourth test flight on September 21, 2024, progressing toward supersonic speeds.

The test, which reached Mach 0.617 (313 knots), was the fastest so far. It also marked the first use of the flutter excitation system (FES), which helps manage structural vibrations.

Key tests during the flight included handling quality checks, elevated g-force manoeuvres at 2.78g, and retraction of the landing gear at maximum safe speed.

Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg flew the 48-minute flight, which reached an altitude of 16,150 feet. The XB-1 continues to move closer to breaking the sound barrier, with supersonic tests expected soon.
