Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter
Article Abstract:
All flight qualification testing of the Pratt and Whitney JSF119-611 engine has been completed by the Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter team. The engine will be used to power Lockheed Martin's X-35A and X-35C JSF concept demonstration aircraft. Performance calibrations before and after accelerated mission testing indicate that the engine exceeds thrust performance specifications. Lockheed Martin expects to get a flight certification of the engine by summer 2000.

Osprey establishes several new records
Article Abstract:
Bell-Boeing Corp's tiltrotor transport, called MV-22B Osprey, set an unofficial load-carrying global record for rotorcraft by carrying an external load of 10,000 pounds at 220 knots in speed. This is the fastest airspeed that a rotorcraft has carried an external load regardless of the weight. Employing the procedures developed during 15 prior hookups, a Marine helicopter support team succeeded in attaching the external load to the Osprey's aft cargo.
