Lockheed Martin, Tata Announce F-16 India Partnership
Landmark agreement supports F-16 Block 70 'Make in India' offer

http://news.lockheedmartin.com/2017-06-19-Lockheed-Martin-Tata-Announce-F-16-India-Partnership


PARIS, June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) signed a landmark agreement affirming the companies intent to join hands to produce the F-16 Block 70 in India. The F-16 Block 70 is ideally suited to meet the Indian Air Force's single-engine fighter needs and this unmatched U.S.-Indian industry partnership directly supports India's initiative to develop private aerospace and defense manufacturing capacity in India.



This unprecedented F-16 production partnership between the world's largest defense contractor and India's premier industrial house provides India the opportunity to produce, operate and export F-16 Block 70 aircraft, the newest and most advanced version of the world's most successful, combat-proven multi-role fighter.

F-16 production in India supports thousands of Lockheed Martin and F-16 supplier jobs in the U.S., creates new manufacturing jobs in India, and positions Indian industry at the center of the most extensive fighter aircraft supply ecosystem in the world.

"This agreement builds on the already established joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Tata and underscores the relationship and commitment between the two companies," said Mr. N. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons.

"Lockheed Martin is honored to partner with Indian defense and aerospace leader Tata Advanced Systems Limited on the F-16 program," said Orlando Carvalho, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. "Our partnership significantly strengthens the F-16 'Make in India' offer, creates and maintains numerous new job opportunities in India and the U.S., and brings the world's most combat-proven multi-role fighter aircraft to India."

The Lockheed Martin-TASL F-16 partnering agreement builds on TASL's proven performance manufacturing airframe components for the C-130J airlifter and the S-92 helicopter.

With more than 4,500 produced and approximately 3,200 operational aircraft worldwide being flown today by 26 countries, the F-16 remains the world's most successful, combat-proven multi-role fighter ever produced. The F-16 Block 70 is the newest and most technologically advanced F-16 ever offered.

ВВС Франции заказали два самолета C-130J-30 и два самолета КС-130J в США по линии FMS в январе 2016 года. Первый заказанный самолет C-130J-30 прибыл во Францию 22 декабря 2017 года. Второй самолет С-130J-30 должен быть поставлен ВВС Франции в 2018 году, и оставшаяся пара в варианте заправщика КС-130J будет поставлена Франции к концу 2019 года.

Завершена модернизация всего парка стратегических транспортных самолетов C-5M Super Galaxy ВВС США

2 августа компания Lockheed Martin передала ВВС США последний модернизированный стратегический транспортный самолет C-5M Super Galaxy.


В 1988 году было определено, что у самолетов производства 10-летней давности осталось 80% летного ресурса и было принято решение о модернизации 52 самолетов с продлением срока службы до 2040-х годов. Самолеты получили новые двигатели General Electric F-138 с увеличенной на 22% тягой, обеспечивающих скороподъемность выше на 58%. Эти двигатели также в 10 раз тише и надежнее, чем прежние General Electric TF-39. Дальность полета достигла 5250 морских миль (9720 км, больше на 900 морских миль).

Первый С-5 был поставлен ВВС в 1970 году, до 1989 года были переданы 128 самолетов версий А, В и С. Самолеты, которых не планировалось модернизировать, были выведены из состава ВВС к сентябрю 2017 года.


Первый оперативный С-5М был передан базе Дувр ВВС (Делавер) в 2009 году. Модернизация велась на заводе компании в Мариетте (Джорджия). Самолет способен перевозить два 78-тонных основных боевых танка М1А1, или вертолеты, и другую технику на межконтинентальную дальность.

Lockheed Martin Concludes Super Galaxy Update Program

08.08.2018 Lockheed Martin Concludes Super Galaxy Update Program | Defense News: Aviation International News https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-...-martin-concludes-super-galaxy-update-program 1/2 DEFENSE Lockheed Martin Concludes Super Galaxy Update Program by David Donald August 7, 2018, 12:25 PM The 52nd and last C-5 to undergo the C-5M Super Galaxy upgrade departs from Lockheed Martin's Mariea plant on its delivery flight back to the U.S. Air Force.

On August 2, Lockheed Martin handed over the 52nd C-5 Galaxy to undergo the U.S. Air Force’s RERP (reliability enhancement and re-engining program) upgrade, after which the aircraft are known as the C-5M Super Galaxy. With the RERP program complete, the Air Force’s fleet of C-5Ms is expected to serve into the 2040s.

The final C-5M conversion was ferried from Lockheed Martin’s Marietta, Georgia, facility to Stewart AFB, New York, where it will receive an interior paint overhaul. It will then be delivered to Air Force Reserve Command base at Westover ARB (air reserve base), Massachusetts, where it will be operated by the 439th Airlift Wing.
An overhaul of the Galaxy fleet began in the 1990s, when Air Mobility Command found that the majority of aircraft still had around 80 percent of their service life remaining. In 1998, the C-5 AMP (avionics modernization program) began. This upgraded the avionics to comply with GATM (global air traffic management) requirements and installed new navigation, communications, and autopilot systems. The flight deck was outfitted with flat-panel displays. The first C-5 AMP flew on December 21, 2002.

In the meantime, Lockheed Martin began studying the RERP upgrade in 2001, resulting in the first flight of a development C5M on June 19, 2006. The main feature of the RERP was the substitution of the original General Electric TF39 engines with the same company’s F138 (CF6-80C2L1F). De-rated to 50,000 lb thrust in the C-5M installation, the F138 provides 22 percent more thrust than the TF39, resulting in improvements in takeoff performance and climb rate, increased payload, and more economical cruise. The engines are also compliant with FAA Stage 4 noise requirements. RERP also covered a host of other enhancements—over 70 in total—with changes to the airframe structure, landing gear and flight controls, as well as environmental, pneumatic, fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems.

Between 1968 and 1973, Lockheed built 81 of the original C-5As, re-opening the line to build 50 slightly improved C-5Bs between 1985 and 1989. Two C-5As were modified to C-5C configuration, also referred to as C-5A (Space Cargo Modified). These aircraft had the rear passenger accommodation deck deleted and the rear cargo door split into two. They were operated from Travis AFB, California, in support of Department of Defense and NASA space programs.

All surviving C-5s received the AMP upgrade, but only one C-5A—plus the two C-5Cs— went through the RERP process. Following considerable debate, it was not decided to proceed with RERP until 2008, with the upgrade being primarily aimed at 49 C-5B airframes. The last of the original C-5As was withdrawn from service in September 2017.

Deliveries of operational C-5Ms got underway to Dover AFB, Delaware, on February 9, 2009. Other bases operating the Super Galaxy are Westover and Travis, while training is undertaken at San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. They are operated by both active-duty and reservist units.

Underlining the capability of the C-5M are 89 FAI-certified records, the most held by any aircraft type. In operational terms, the C-5M is one of a tiny handful of aircraft that can carry main battle tanks, being able to haul two M1A1 Abrams tanks over intercontinental distances. With this capability, the Super Galaxy remains vital to the U.S. Air Force’s mission to rapidly deploy large equipment that would otherwise rely on sea transportation.

И последнее. Модификация Ан-124-100М-150 имеет грузоподъемность 150т. Пока, если не ошибаюсь,
в таком варианте есть только один самолет. Но после выполнения программы модернизации с
заменой двигателей на Д-18Т серии 3М всего флота Русланов Авиалиний Антонова , они будут иметь грузоподъемность 150т. Такжебудет модернизирован и Ан-124, принадлежащий Максимус Эйрлайнз.
Росссийские эксплуатанты могут не беспокоиться, им это не светит.

• Американская короткая тонна = 907 кг
• Указана масса снаряженного танка с боезапасом и пр., а перевозят в самолете без этого
• Другой вариант

Но я не сомневаюсь, что грузоподъемность С-5М не более 129.3т.
