This milestone achievement marks major progress as Northrop Grumman and the RAAF proceed towards delivery of the first aircraft in 2024. The first flight lasted approximately six hours and 24 minutes and included a range of tests, namely airworthiness evaluations such as engine, flight control and fuel system checks.
This milestone flight marks the first, public successful flight of a sixth-generation combat aircraft, with Northrop Grumman describing the aircraft as the world’s “first sixth-generation aircraft” and a major step change for the US Air Force’s global strike capabilities.
The government is acquiring four Triton aircraft plus associated support and mission systems as part of enhancements to the Air Force’s Maritime Patrol and Response program.
The contract will provide support to the ADF’s flight recorder and locating equipment (FRLE) across a number of aircraft fleets, and will deliver logistics, flight data analysis and maintenance readouts, as well as repair of specialised equipment.
The new aircraft, which have the ability to take off and land from short and varied airfields, were handed over to the PNGDF at Port Moresby on 2 November.
The quickly constructible, movable, and cost-effective aircraft revetments are open-air structures intended to shield parked aircraft from discovery, blast, and fragmentation damage.
