Photographer Carl Richards captured these images of A35-003 taking off on its first flight, from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, on December 1. The aircraft is due to be delivered to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona in early 2018 to be used for pilot and maintainer training, before being permanently relocated to Australia in 2020. A35-003, known to its manufacturer Lockheed Martin as AU-3, had its RAAF markings, including its 3 Squadron tail flashes, applied in early November, the final phase of the aircraft’s production process. 3 Squadron is due to become the first RAAF F-35 operational unit.

Pump Jet Propulsion Still Part of Future Submarine Design, Naval Group

27 Oktober 2017

Naval Group has confirmed that it is committed to delivering “a regionally superior and sovereign” submarine capability for Australia.

The company stated that Future Submarine design work continues to include the pump jet propulsion system that was proposed during the Competitive Evaluation Process and remains on offer to Australia, which had been in doubt.

According to Naval Group, the use of pump jet propulsion would mean that the Future Submarine could move more quietly than submarines with “obsolete” propeller technology.

The program is progressing through concept design on schedule, the company said, including work to establish the length, diameter and displacement of the submarine.

“The design of Australia’s Future Submarines will draw on the best of French submarine design and technology to meet Australia’s submarine capability requirements, which include superior stealth,” Naval Group stated.

“The Future Submarine design will also benefit from the development of the French Barracuda [nuclear attack] submarine, which remains the reference point for Australia’s Future Submarine, and from Naval Group’s extensive experience in conventional submarine technologies.”

Belajar Ulang Dari Indri Lidiawati : Hari Ini Saya Baca Ulang Lebih Dari 100 Artikelnya

Tidak terasa, Hingga waktu istirahat kantor lewat, mata saya masih terpaku pada layar monitor dan jari masih menekan tuts ke tombol "older posts" di blog Juragan Cipir. Sudah lebih dari 100 halaman atau artikel yang dibaca selama itu. Untungnya artikel-artikelnya pendek-pendek, jadi saya bisa membaca banyak selama waktu istirahat yang tidak panjang itu. Memang heran karena blog Juragan Cipir, kepunyaan Mbak Indri Lidiawati sendiri sudah lama sekali tidak diupdate. Rasanya sudah hampir 6 bulan sejak artikel terakhir diterbitkan di blog tersebut. Setelah itu tidak ada lagi tulisan baru yang masuk, baik dari si empunya atau para rekan sesama blogger. Situasinya sudah agak mirip kuburan karena perlahan tapi pasti forumnya pun ikut terimbas dan tidak ada lagi percakapan tentang apapun. Padahal dulu banyak sekali tanya jawab tentang Adsense atau blog. Meskipun demikian, tetap saja saya rutin, setidaknya secara berkala datang berkunjung kesini. Saya paham bahwa tidak akan ada apapun...
