A 6th Test and Evaluation technical paper was also meant to be released (for a total of 18) called "F-35 High Angle of Attack Flight Control Development and Flight Test Results", but this paper doesn't appear in the list of those released at the conference: https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/book/10.2514/MATIO18

Good job on that, thanks.

--Edit.. Joy, a paywall

Those at a college (or local library via OpenAthens login) should have access, hint, hint

PODcast at AvWeak by those who bin there talking about it - this one all about the F-35 - other things in later podcast:

Podcast: Hidden Gems at AIAA Aviation 2018
29 Jun 2018 Guy Norris and Graham Warwick

"Aviation Week’s Guy Norris and Graham Warwick have been in Atlanta, Georgia, for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ Aviation 2018 conference. They talk about insights from the many panels and presentations and some hidden gems in the exhibition hall."

I just found out a FREE way to get the docs.

Use the OpenAthens login and search for your local library if you have a library card. OpenAthens also services many higher education colleges & universities.

I've found another means of downloading them all; I'll clean them up and upload them here later today.

Far more fun actually attending (although there's a lot of boring stuff at AVIATION compared to SciTech).

You mean I paid my 10+-year-old overdue fees to get my library card for nothing?????

-------Edit--------
Damn.... apparently I am going to need those after all. The library listed on the site is not "my" library even though they have the same name.

Looking forward to it
*edit* hah, and there they are

[rheonomic]

And that's all 17 released F-35 papers from the 2018 AIAA Aviation forum; still haven't seen any trace of that 18th paper about high angle of attack testing (not to be confused with one released back in 2014).

I think that was only an oral presentation.

Great Effort 'Dragon029' and thank you for it.

[SpudmanWP]

Awsome, thanks

Excellent

That F-35 Information Fusion document is excellent description of how fusion is done in F-35 (and to lesser extent F-22) and how it differs from 4th and 4++ gen fighters (with correlation and track blending). It also describes the benefits of such fusion system very well, although I'm sure most people still don't really understand just how powerful a closed loop sensor fusion system is.

What I found particularly interesting was the description of how MADL supports sensor fusion in F-35. It seems to share astonishing amount of data compared to legacy data links and the quality of data is also something else. A single F-35 is extremely impressive ISR node. A flight of F-35s is an ISR monster...

Btw, thank you for providing these documents!
