F-35’s Landing-Gear Tires Wear Out Too Soon, Pentagon Finds
Tires that wear out too soon are adding to the troubles facing Lockheed
Martin Corp. (LMT:US)’s F-35, the Pentagon’s costliest weapons system.
Landing-gear tires made by Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd. for the Marine Corps
version of the fighter have “been experiencing an unacceptable wear rate
when operating as a conventional aircraft,” according to Joe DellaVedova,
spokesman for the Defense Department’s F-35 program office.
He said the tire, which costs about $1,500 apiece, demonstrates “adequate
wear” when the aircraft performs short takeoffs and vertical landings
intended for amphibious warfare vessels and improvised runways. | r*******3
