Arrested Landing Test Validates F-35C Integration with Ford-Class Carrier
On October 15, the Navy validated F-35C integration with the Ford-class carrier through an arrested landing test, conducted by Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23. Precision matters in naval aviation, and empirical data from this calibrated event confirms the platform's readiness. Understanding drives protection.

Kennedy Carrier Trials Begin Amid Shift in Navy Propulsion Strategy
The USS John F. Kennedy has begun acceptance sea trials, yet the Navy's propulsion strategy is already pivoting. President Trump's order to strip EMALS from the future USS Doris Miller in favor of steam catapults signals a deliberate retreat to proven technology. It is a pragmatic, if conservative, choice. While innovation drives us forward, reliability remains the anchor of operational readiness.
