L’US Navy construit-elle le plus grand porte-hélicoptères au monde ?
Les maux de l'Emals…
Ça tombe bien, ils n'ont pas d'avions à mettre dessus !

Moi, je suis étonné qu'ils n'aient pas encore rebaptisé un "America" ou un "John F. Kennedy"…

Sept 28/09: US Navy NAVAIR announces that EMALS has completed Phase 1 of Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and the 2nd phase of System Functional Demonstration (SFD) commissioning.
HALT tests look at the system’s launch motor will perform under at-sea conditions, and provides data to verify peak performance, even in extreme conditions. SFD testing replicates full-scale launching capabilities, and SFD commissioning ensures that the system is ready for upcoming test launches of dead-loads (weighted, steel-framed sleds) and aircraft.
Phase 2 of SFD commissioning integrated and tested all power components of the system with the launch controller. The upcoming 3rd phase will integrate the remainder of the system, and test the basic ability to convert electrical power to mechanical force. The testing culminates with the launch of dead-load weights and non-operational test aircraft at Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, NJ; commissioning with dead loads is scheduled to begin during fall 2009.

Maintenant, si il vous est insupportable de concevoir l'US Navy sans USS Enterprise, signez donc la pétition pour un CVN-79 USS Enterprise III.
