CHINA PRIMEROS APONTAJES DEL J-15

CHINA PRIMEROS APONTAJES DEL J-15:
 Primer apontaje en el portaviones chino Liaoning del prototipo del J-15 con serial "552".
 Ahora es el turno del "553".
 Los dos prototipos juntos. Bonita foto. Nótese el plegado de las alas.
 El "552" se dispone a despegar. Interesante primer plano de la cabina. Nótese la inusual posición de un tubo pitot debajo del "2". Primera vez que lo veo ahí.
Despegando. China ha dado un gran paso adelante.

Wave goodbye - Hercules over Sydney:
As the Royal Australian Air Force prepares to say goodbye to its H-model Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules at the end of the month, a specially liveried aircraft has embarked on a tour of the nation, here pictured on a flight over Sydney. The variant has been in-service with the RAAF for 34 years. And yes, that's the second Herc shot this week, for which I make no apology. So there.

An F-35A Lightning II conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft rapidly expanded its high angle of attack (AOA) test envelope to its 50 degree limit in only four flights during recent flight testing here.

F-35A test aircraft are limited to AOAs of 20 degrees until their controllability is proven at a higher AOA limit of 50 degrees.

The ability to rapidly progress to the maximu
