Innovative partnership enhances F-35A training at Luke AFB
The 56th Component Maintenance Squadron’s Egress Systems Flight has partnered with Lockheed Martin to work on two innovative technologies that aim to enhance F-35A Lightning II egress maintenance training.
Working closely with Lockheed Martin, the egress shop implemented the Virtual Reality Maintenance Trainer and the use of a full-size 3D print of the F-35 canopy in an effort to reduce the time for training tasks by 50 percent.
The Egress Systems Flight ensures the overall integrity of the emergency ejection seat system in the F-35A Lightning II.
