World Wide Web reporters: the United States, "Defense News" weekly on the 29th reported that the latest model of the U.S. F-35C fighters face a major challenge, because the Navy suddenly found that the existing F-35 transport plane can not be shipped to the engine of the aircraft carrier.
According to Taiwan's "Zhongguang Wang," 30 reported, 29 of the United States listed the latest issue of "Defense News" weekly that the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier itself with a number of aircraft engines, and if there is need for transport by ship from base land transport supplement.
Recently, however, suddenly found that, although the latest model of the U.S. F-35 fighter engine can be divided into five parts, but the engine a part of the largest and most important in any case do not put into existing C-2 in the carrier transport. How will the engines arrived from the shore on the aircraft carrier, a major challenge.
Reported that the U.S. Navy said the solution may also purchase larger Navy transport aircraft, such as V-22, but this involves the budget, the concept of army building and other complex issues. It was suggested that another solution is to store the backup engine in the supply ship, supply ships from the sea by a supplement to the aircraft carrier.

Therefore, the new F-35 fighter engine is currently not loaded on the aircraft carrier.
