22 December: Navy Pilot Flies X-35C |
|
 The US Navy got its first hands-on evaluation of the JSF X-35C carrier variant, as Navy pilot Lt. Cmdr. Brian Goszkowicz logged his first flight in the supersonic demonstrator. Goszkowicz took off from Edwards AFB and flew a series of maneuvers in preparation for demonstrating the aircraft’s ability to operate from a carrier. The maneuvers included an approach and a practice wave-off, a straight-in approach to a touch-and-go landing, and a full-stop landing. It was the aircraft’s fourth flight since first taking to the skies last December. During the flight, Goszkowicz reached an altitude of 10,000 feet and a speed of 250 knots, describing the X-35C’s flight path as “smooth and predictable.” |
