Defense News: DTN News - LOCKHEED MARTIN DEFENSE NEWS: F-35 Jet Blast Deflector Testing Underway At Lakehurst
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada / LAKEHURST, N.J., - July 8, 2011: F-35C Lightning II carrier variant aircraft CF-2 is performing Jet Blast Deflector (JBD) tests at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.


The JBD, located behind the catapults aboard aircraft carriers, deflects high energy exhaust from the engine to prevent damage and injury to other aircraft and personnel located in close proximity.

JBD testing is one portion of the tests required to ensure the F-35C is compatible aboard the aircraft carrier.

Testing continues with varying distances between the aircraft and JBD, and at power settings up to and including maximum afterburner power. CF-2 arrived at Lakehurst on June 25 for JBD tests. (Lockheed Martin photo by Andy Wolfe)
