Lockheed Passes On USAF’s Light Attack Demo
Apr 8, 2017 Lara Seligman | Aerospace Daily & Defense Report
Lockheed Martin has decided not to offer an aircraft for the U.S. Air Force’s light attack demonstration this summer, making it the second major defense contractor in two weeks to opt out of the OA-X experiment.
Losinger did not disclose the reasoning behind the decision not to participate in OA-X, but Weiss hinted that the T-50A may not meet the OA-X runway and fuel burn requirements. The Air Force has said OA-X must be able to operate from a 6,000-ft. runway and have an average fuel flow of 1,500 lb./hr. or less.
