Flight tests of the U.S. Navy’s P-8A Poseidon multimission patrol aircraft are one-fifth through completion and, unlike a host of recent high-profile defense acquisitions, on schedule for targeted service entry in 2013. The initial three P-8As—T-1, -2 and -3—have amassed “close to 500 hours” of flight-test time at NAS Patuxent River, Md., says U.S. Navy P-8A Program Manager Capt. Mike Moran. Phase 1 flight tests to verify performance using T-1 were completed in December with “no anomalies,” he adds.
