Re: F-35 News
High tech transfer: Rheinmetall plans to build state-of-the-art F-35 fuselage factory in Weeze, Germany
4 July 2023 – Together with its American partners Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall has reached another important milestone in a key Bundeswehr project, while simultaneously opening a new chapter in German-American defence technology cooperation. The Düsseldorf-based tech enterprise plans to build an ultramodern factory at Weeze in the Kleve district of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) to produce fuselage sections for the F-35A Lightning II, the world’s top-performing warplane. The decision on where to place the factory followed a review of possible locations around Germany.
The new plant is due to produce at least 400 F-35A fuselage sections for the air forces of Germany and other friendly nations. An integrated technology group, Rheinmetall will be drawing here on its extensive experience in fabricating sophisticated components as well as in the aviation domain. Production is expected to commence in 2025.
“We’re proud that our longstanding partnership with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin and our decades long relationship with the Bundeswehr is resulting in a genuine transfer of know-how to Germany”, declares Rheinmetall chief executive Armin Papperger. “And we’re very pleased to be contributing to the future viability of Germany as a technology powerhouse, and especially NRW, our longstanding corporate home. Close to the state capital in Düsseldorf, we’re going to build a factory that sets standards Europewide. We’re very grateful for the political and administrative support we experienced in Weeze during our search for a location.”
“Northrop Grumman will replicate our automated and manufacturing techno¬logies of the Integrated Assembly Line in Weeze,” said Glenn Masukawa, vice president for Northrop Grumman’s F-35 program. “Combined with Rheinmetall’s capabilities, our collaboration with Lockheed Martin to manufacture the center fuselage is critical in bolstering global security. We look forward to the success of this newest F-35 facility.”
“We are pleased with Rheinmetall‘s swift site selection for the upcoming F-35 center fuselage production facility. This marks an important milestone in the German F-35 program – this increase in capacity helps meet the growing global demand that further enables the F-35 to stay ahead of evolving threats in the 21st century landscape,” said Mike Shoemaker, vice president of F-35 Customer Programs at Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin is committed to fostering industry partnerships and creating jobs in Germany. We appreciate Rheinmetall’s role as an agile and flexible partner and look forward to continued collaboration.”
Featuring state-of-the-art technology, the planned factory will be operated through Rheinmetall Aviation Services GmbH. It will have feature 60,000 square metres of floorspace. Over 400 highly skilled men and women will crew the ultramodern assembly line. In addition, the plant will include logistics and warehouse facilities, research and test centres, classrooms and quality control units.

Re: F-35 News
Agora fiquei curioso. Quantos KC-390 serão necessários para desdobrar o mesmo número de Gripen E\F.
A julgar pelo que a SAAB dispõe no seu marketing, 1 avião seria suficiente, ou quiçá 2.

E ainda tem gente por aí achando que o custo dele é mais em conta do que do Gripen... sei...

Re: F-35 News
Apoio é coisa de caça nutela! O Gripen é Chuck Norris dos caças.
Está vendo quantos aviões de apoio nessa foto? Isso mesmo, ZERO!
O F-16, por exemplo, precisa carregar até mesmo um aspirador de pó para limpar a pista.

Re: F-35 News
Se 4 precisam de 1 Hércules, 12 vão precisar de 3 aviões, correto?cabeça de martelo escreveu: ↑Sáb Set 23, 2023 1:49 pm A FAP nos seus contingentes de 4 F16 só precisa de 1 C130.
Não é muito, mas isto também depende muito do tipo do caça que é operador. Cada um com o seu cada qual.
O Gripen E, em sequência ao C\D precisa de tanto quanto ou até menos que eles para apoiar operações fora de base.
Mas é algo que só vamos saber daqui há alguns anos quando a FAB resolver fazer propaganda de ambos juntos.

Rapaz, eu sou fã boy declarado e atestado de carteirinha do Gripen desde as primeiras edições de papel da RFA lá para os idos de 1995.
E naquele tempo ele já operava em pistas sem maiores apoios a não ser um simples caminhão de combustível.
Por outro lado, o Chuck Norris sul americano é também um sujeito que ama uma economia, assim, como todo bom pagador de impostos ele ama fazer uns deslocamentos de base sem precisar fazer Revo ou levar um caminhão consigo, só os mecânicos e os conscritos do local.
Assim, a FAB nunca vai precisar se preocupar em ter de apoiar o melhor caça de 4,75a G do império brasileiro.
O Gripen E é foda

Re: F-35 News
Se a SAAB conseguir desenvolver um caça de 5ª geração com a operação tão econômica quanto a do Gripen e de tamanha capacidade de operação de aeródromos improvisados, eles não vão precisa se preocupar com desenvolver um caça 6ª G por pelo menos uns 30 anos. Ainda mais levando em conta que as chances da Rússia conseguir desenvolver um caça de 6ª geração são nulas.
