In the next generation, the stealth plane is definitely a bullish existence, I flew over quietly, without a trace on your radar screen, and the airspace of any country is like entering a no-man's land.

That's right, the stealth aircraft is such a crazy and invincible cock bombing role, from the F-117 can kick open the airspace gate of any country at will to drop bombs, to the F-22 fighter, F-35 multi-purpose aircraft, this kind of aircraft, are heralding the arrival of a new era.

The Huaxia Air Force has also done war games, if it is a second-generation aircraft against a third-generation aircraft, although it will pay a large sacrifice, but as long as everyone rushes up, it can still beat the master to death with a fist, and there is still hope of victory.

However, in the era of stealth aircraft, and then use the third-generation aircraft to fight, there is almost no chance of winning, even if it is not possible to rely on a hug, because your radar will not be able to capture the other party at all, and the other party will not be close to the distance where the echo appears on your airborne radar, people are like ninjas, secretly shooting missiles from behind, and then leaving after the fight, and the appearance of the enemy is almost invisible in the entire air battle.

(East China Zhixiong is a little confused, as an old military fan, I have always thought that F-4, MiG-21 are second-generation aircraft, F-15, Su-27 are third-generation aircraft, and stealth aircraft like F-22 are considered fourth-generation aircraft, but, looking at various magazines now, they actually call F-22 a fifth-generation aircraft, is it not in accordance with the Western generation, began to follow the standards of the Soviet era?) In short, in East China's heroes, I still like to follow the previous generation, no matter how many generations, the plane is still that plane, the higher generation, do you think this sounds more awesome? ）

Therefore, Huaxia still had to use its own strength, and finally developed the J-20, as a stealth aircraft, to be able to confront the United States' stealth aircraft, as the world's second country to independently develop stealth aircraft, Huaxia after many years of silence, accumulation, and finally caught up with the world's advanced footsteps.

Say too much, let's talk about it now, the Tomcat fighter is a tragic role in the future, this Nathan is quite clear, if you want to avoid its failure, then you need to let the Tomcat fighter improve, reflect its value, first of all, multi-purpose improvement, so that you can grab the job of the big bug, so that the big bug has no need to equip.

Nathan is an aversion to large bugs, and it is the tomcat's sworn enemy.

The improvements that are being made now only give the tomcat the ability to be multi-purpose, and if you want the tomcat to really live, you need to make the tomcat have greater capabilities.

This is stealth, the Tomcat fighter is developed into a stealth cat!

In Grumman's hangar, Nathan said his long-brewing idea: "Visual stealth, that's very difficult, but now air combat will rely more and more on radar, so we need to achieve the stealth performance of fighters in radar." ”

Radar stealth seems to be a new topic in this era, and ordinary people don't even understand what radar stealth does, but, in the hearts of the high-level who know, radar stealth, that has been implemented in the development of the model.

The F-117, the first generation of stealth attack aircraft in the United States, was established in 73 and began to be delivered in 82, and the most advanced F-22 fighter was also established around 84.

Now, others may not know, but these people in front of them have access to cutting-edge technology, such as Keniel, who knows that the Air Force has a stealth aircraft called Haveland, of course, more he doesn't know, it's all top secret.

Now, Nathan, a front-line naval major, has come up with the concept of a stealth aircraft.

"Our engineers, know what to do." Nathan said: "Turning all sides of the fuselage into an angular shape, weakening the positive reflection of radar waves, changing the air intake, covering the blades of the engine inside, reducing the inclination angle of the vertical tail, and applying a coating that absorbs radar waves on the fuselage, after various improvements, we can finally turn our huge fighter into a basketball in front of the radar." ”

The concept of stealth is relative, and the distance that radar can detect is also relative, depending on the reflected electromagnetic waves of the target, Nathan did not say that it becomes a table tennis ball, as long as it becomes the size of a basketball, this can be achieved.

In this way, the previous radar could be detected at a distance of 100 km, but now, without even a detection distance of 10 km, 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 will also be replaced with a four-degree digital fly-by-wire." Nathan continues to make his point.

Nathan's brain has a lot of ideas, almost all of which come from the later Grumman company's aborted projects, the Silent Cat and the NATF project. (NavalAdvancedTacticalFighter, or "Navy Advanced Tactical Fighter.") ）

In this plan, the F14 is equipped with the F22 exclusive Pratt & Whitney F119-P200-TVC vector engine, which is powerful for shortening the take-off and landing distance, and can expand the scope of application in field airports with insufficient conditions, while the already very powerful supersonic performance has been further improved, and even powerful supersonic cruise capabilities can be achieved.

The addition of the new conformal fuel tank on the back frees the belly heavy-duty hardpoint from the clutches of the drop tank, which greatly increases the actual ammo load during ranged attacks. A new generation of AESA radar developed based on the AN / APG-77 is compatible with AIM-9X, AIM-120D and almost all tactical air-to-ground weapons of the US military.

The NATF, on the other hand, is the true successor of the F-14, and it looks super like the F22 with a swept wing.

Look at the US Navy in later generations, it can only rely on super big bugs to prop up the façade and wait for the F-35, but the progress is seriously overdue, and the joint use of the three services seems to share the scientific research funds and save a lot, in fact, there are specializations in the industry, the navy and the air force, and it is too difficult to generalize.

If the Navy develops its own carrier-based fourth-generation aircraft earlier, maybe it can be developed before the Air Force's F22, and when the time comes, how will Congress let the joint equipment be made?

Well, the Air Force can equip the Navy's fighters, this is not a shame, the F4 fighter back then, it was originally the Navy, and later the Air Force also adopted it?

Nathan was naturally excited when he talked about the project, and now, everyone else was looking at him with amazement.

An excellent pilot, who also has strategic insight, is a general, and the speech at the airport is simply the capital of a politician who walks in the White House, and now Nathan is like a most professional aircraft engineer, no, he is simply a senior staff officer of the Navy, planning for the next generation of fighters in advance!

"Major Nathan, you're planning to improve stealth on top of our Tomcat." Keniel said, "Still, it's like someone is saying that our variable sweep wing is lagging behind." ”
