In the later generations, the stealth machine is definitely a colossal existence. I flew over quietly, without a trace on your radar screen. The airspace of any country is like entering no one.
That's right, the stealth machine is such a character that madly pulls the invincible cock to the sky, from F-117 can kick open the airspace gates of any country to drop bombs, to F-22 fighter jets, F-35 multifunctional aircraft, this kind of all kinds Airplanes are heralding the arrival of a new era.
The China Air Force has also performed wargames. If it is a second-generation aircraft against a third-generation aircraft, although it will pay a greater sacrifice, as long as everyone swarms, it will still be able to beat the master indiscriminately, and there is hope of victory.
However, in the era of stealth aircraft, if you use three generations of aircraft to fight against, there is almost no chance of winning. Even if you rely on a swarm, it will not work, because your radar will not catch the opponent at all, and the opponent will not get close. The distance of the echo appearing on your airborne radar is like a ninja, secretly hitting missiles from behind, and then leaving after the fight. In the entire air battle, almost no enemy appears.
(East China is a bit confused. As an old military fan, I always think that F-4 and MiG 21 are second-generation machines, F-15 and Su-27 are third-generation machines, and stealth machines like F-22 are considered fourth-generation machines. However, looking at various magazines nowadays, the F-22 is actually called the fifth-generation machine. Isn’t it not in accordance with the Western designation, has it begun to follow the Soviet era? In short, in the novels of East China Heroes, I still like to follow the previous generations, no matter how many generations, the aircraft or the aircraft, the higher generation, do you think this sounds more awesome?)
Therefore, Huaxia still had to use its own strength to finally develop the J-20. As a stealth machine, it can compete with the stealth aircraft of the United States. As the second country in the world to independently develop a stealth machine, Huaxia is silent. After years of accumulation, he finally caught up with the world's advanced footsteps.
Let’s talk more, let’s talk about it now. The Tomcat fighter is a tragic character in later generations. Nathan is quite clear about this. If you want to avoid its failure, you need to let the Tomcat fighter improve and reflect its Value, first of all, is multi-purpose improvement, so that it can grab the job of the big bug and make it unnecessary for the big bug.
Nathan hates big bugs, he is the deadly enemy of the tomcat.
The improvements that are being made now only allow the Tomcat to have multi-purpose capabilities, and if the Tomcat is to really live, it needs to be made with more abilities.
This is stealth. The Tomcat fighter has been developed into a stealth cat!
In Grumman’s hangar, Nathan expressed his thoughts that he had been brewing for a long time: "Visual stealth is very difficult, but now air combat will rely more and more on radar. Therefore, We want to achieve the stealth performance of the fighter aircraft in terms of radar."
Radar stealth seems to be a new topic in this era. Ordinary people don't even understand the role of radar stealth. However, in the hearts of high-level people who know, radar stealth has already been implemented in model development.
The F-117, the first generation of stealth attack aircraft in the United States, was approved in 1973 and delivered in 1982. The most advanced F-22 fighter was also approved in 1984.
Now, others may not know, but these people in front of them are all able to access cutting-edge technology. For example, Kennel, knows that the Air Force has a stealth machine called Highland. Of course, he doesn’t know more, that’s all. It is top secret.
Now, Nathan, a front-line lieutenant commander, has proposed the concept of a stealth machine.
"Our engineers know what to do." Nathan said: "Turn all sides of the fuselage into an angled shape, weaken the direct reflection of radar waves, change the air intake, and cover the engine inside. The blades reduce the inclination of the vertical tail, and the body is coated with a coating that absorbs radar waves. After various improvements, we can finally turn this bulky fighter into a basketball in front of the radar."
The concept of stealth is relative, and the distance that the radar can find is also relative. It depends on the reflected electromagnetic waves of the target. Nathan did not say that it becomes a ping-pong ball, as long as it becomes the size of a basketball. This is achievable.
In this way, the previous radar can be found at a distance of one hundred kilometers, but now, there is no detection distance of ten kilometers, and the stealth performance is naturally achieved.
"At the same time, in order to improve maneuverability, in addition to the planned replacement of a new generation of high-thrust engines, our control system should also be replaced with a four-degree digital telex." Nathan continued to elaborate his views.
There are many ideas in Nathan's brain, almost all of which come from the aborted project of the later Grumman Company, the Silent Cat and the NATF Project. (NavalAdvancedTacticalFighter, namely "Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter".)
In this plan, the F14 is equipped with an F22 dedicated to Pratt & Whitney F119-PW200-TVC vector engine. The strong power is beneficial to shorten the take-off and landing distance. It can broaden the scope of application in the field airport with insufficient conditions. At the same time, it is already very powerful. The supersonic performance has also been further improved, and even a powerful supersonic cruise capability can be achieved.
The newly added conformal fuel tank on the back releases the heavy load attachment point of the belly from the clutches of the auxiliary fuel tank, which greatly increases the actual ammunition capacity during long-range attacks. The new generation AESA radar developed based on AN/APG-77 is compatible with AIM-9X, AIM-120D and almost all US tactical air-to-ground weapons.
NATF is the true successor of F-14, its appearance is super like F22 with swept-back variable wings.
Looking at the later generations of the U.S. Navy, it can only rely on super bugs to support the facade, waiting for the F-35, but the progress is seriously overdue, and the joint use of the three services seems to share the research funding and save a lot. In fact, There are specialties in the technical industry, navy and air force, it is too difficult to want to be universal.
If the Navy develops its own carrier-based fourth-generation aircraft earlier, it may be able to produce it before the Air Force’s F22. At that time, how can Congress make common equipment
Um, the air force can be equipped with naval fighters. This is not shameful. Back then, the F4 fighters were originally owned by the navy, but weren't they also used by the air force
When Nathan talked about this project, it was naturally enthusiastic, and now, everyone else was looking at him with surprise.
Excellent pilots, as well as strategic insights, are expected to be a general. The speeches at the airport are simply the capital of politicians who walked to the White House. Now Nathan is like the most professional. The aircraft engineer, no, is simply a senior navy staff member who is planning ahead for the next generation of fighters!
"Major Nathan, you are planning to improve the invisibility based on our Tomcat." Kenil said: "However, now it seems that someone is saying that our variable swept wings have fallen behind. "(End of this chapter)
