F-35B returns to flight



The Lockheed Martin F-35B short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the Joint Strike Fighter has returned to flight after a 25-day grounding.

"F-35B flight clearance was restored February 12, rescinding a cautionary suspension issued January 18 after a fueldraulic hose failure," the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) says. "Government and industry engineering teams conducted a root cause investigation and determined the hose was improperly crimped."
