During
the first stage of developmental testing, the test team conducts a series
of events designed to gradually expand the aircraft-operating envelope
at sea. Events scheduled for Nov. 7 center on crosswind catapult launches
and crosswind approaches to test the aircraft's ability to perform in
both nominal and off-nominal conditions. At-sea test delivers the opportunity to conduct operations in preparation for Navy F-35C initial operational capability scheduled for 2018. |
