What are the criteria for dividing a 6th generation fighter?

This specific standard, because all the countries that develop sixth-generation aircraft are groping and crossing the river by feeling the stones, there is no clear and unified standard.

But here are a few things that must be done:

First, the use of artificial intelligence systems for combat, combat effectiveness comparable to the top pilots.

Second, more powerful stealth performance, not easy to be detected by radar systems.

Third, stronger situational awareness.

Fourth, revolutionary airborne weapons.

Fifth, it has superior mobility and a broader combat range.

The fifth, the most critical, is brought about by advanced engines.

However, after nearly 100 years of development, traditional turbofan engine technology has come to an end.

No matter how good the materials are used, no matter how good the design is used, and how complex the structure is, it is still difficult for its fuel efficiency to exceed 35%.

Once it is close to its limit, it is almost impossible to break through.

But the detonation engine is different.

The working principle of the detonation engine is somewhat similar to that of the traditional diesel engine and gasoline engine, which is to "detonate" the fuel, so that the fuel is burned in an instant, and the gas is accelerated to more than 2000m/s, and then shot out from the tail nozzle, which is converted into huge thrust.

In general, high-performance diesel engines and gasoline engines can reach 40%, 45% or even close to 50%.

Detonation engines can also reach this level.

In addition, compared to turbofan engines weighing more than 1 ton or 1.5 tons, the detonation engine with a simple structure and smaller size can be compressed to less than 500 kg.

The weight saved can be filled with more fuel.

Due to the thoroughness of the fuel in the detonation engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio is large, and the residual heat is small, so the fighter's maneuverability and infrared stealth ability will be significantly improved.

And because human pilots cannot overcome the huge loads brought about by high maneuverability, sixth-generation fighters are generally unmanned fighters...... This in turn frees up some space and weight for refueling.

Therefore, compared with the 3,000 to 5,000 km range of the fourth and fifth generation fighters using turbofan engines, the range of the sixth generation fighters with detonation engines can be increased to 6,000 to 10,000 kilometers.

It means that the time in the air is extended and the combat radius is doubled.

As long as there are enough weapons in the magazine, a sixth-generation fighter can kill several times the opponent of its own.

even took advantage of the range and used the "kite tactic" to consume the opponent to death.

The absolute generational advantage brought by the detonation engine to the sixth-generation fighter can slaughter the backward opponent in a variety of ways.

Besides.

Detonation engines can also be installed on missiles, rockets and other weapons, which not only greatly increases the range of these weapons, but also increases the mobility of missiles or rockets.

Mobility increases, then used as an anti-aircraft weapon, it is possible to easily intercept warheads with large Mach numbers.

The increased mobility and the use of offensive weapons will greatly increase the failure rate of the enemy's interception system, and the missile defense system built with hundreds of billions of dollars will be reduced to a sieve in an instant.

The emergence of the detonation engine can be said to have broken the balance of power between the military powers, so that the country that took the lead in breaking through this technology gained a huge military advantage at once.

Obviously, this advantage has been gained by country Z...... Just after the announcement of the first flight of the domestic sixth-generation fighter, the military powers of the world understood this.

In fact, many countries are studying the detonation engine, including country M, which has also smashed billions of dollars into it, but it has never been able to solve the problems of precise control, maintenance and power coupling of the detonation engine...... This engine is too difficult to control.

However, the people of country Z have overcome technical difficulties and successfully applied them to the sixth generation fighter.

For this breakthrough, the whole world was in a sensation.

The media in various countries are reporting with thrilling headlines and mixed content.

"Russian Pravda" said: "Country Z has become the first country to successfully develop a sixth-generation fighter, compared with our so-called fifth-generation fighter Su-57 and the fourth-generation fighter that plays the main role, to establish a one-to-two-generation lead, now we can not rejoice that country Z is our friendly neighbor, we can't expect our aircraft design bureau to immediately come up with an identical sixth-generation fighter, we only hope that our leaders will take the money to go to country Z and buy a few sixth-generation fighters of country Z...... Let go of the poor self-esteem, the people of country Z are indeed better than us. ”

A report in the German Zeitung titled 'Empire Weakens': "On April 15, remember this meaningful day, from this day on, the hegemony of the most powerful empire on the planet, finally declared weak, it is no less significant than the collapse of the Soviet Union more than thirty years ago, which is depressing bad news and may also bring some positive changes to the world, but in any case...... The era of a multipolar world has arrived. ”

The British "Times" said: "It's time to adjust our foreign policy, we have gone too far with country M in recent years, we have lost huge economic interests, lost a lot of development opportunities, and even brought ourselves into a dangerous situation...... It is said that the sixth-generation fighter of country Z has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, but Britain is only 6,000 kilometers away from country Z. ”

"Paper Cat Observer" said: "Fake, that's just a model, it can't be real!" ”

……

Country M.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Inside the Director's Office.

The president's private secretary stood in front of Wallen Turner with a dismissal document in his hand:

"Mr. Turner, Mr. President is very angry, he is shocked by your incompetence."

"The people of country Z successfully flew the sixth generation fighter for the first time, and you didn't know anything about such important information in advance."

"Your incompetence has brought shame to country M, so we don't even have time to announce that country M's sixth-generation fighter has also successfully made its first flight, and it is you who have put country Z one step ahead." Although it still uses a conventional turbofan engine.

"You have been dismissed, Mr. Turner, and several of your aides have offered to take you to a court-martial, where you will be given the trial you deserve, but Mr. President, you have been given the least punishment for your meritorious deeds. Get out of here, there's going to be a successor in this office soon. ”

The private secretary looked at him with contempt.

"Okay."

Wallen Turner nodded, signed the dismissal papers, took off his uniform, changed into ordinary clothes, and left the CIA amid the advice and discussion of his subordinates and colleagues in the past.

With his head down, he looked at the ground and walked somewhat slowly.

He was not depressed and accepted the result.

He's just reflecting, why is this happening?

In order to please the Congress and the president and prove his ability, he was very obsessed with doing some "wet work", and through many hooligan methods, he achieved his goal and safeguarded the interests of country M.

But now......

The sixth-generation fighter of country Z made its first flight.

What's the use of him doing a good job of "wet work"?

Can dragging twice from behind, stumbling in front, and saying two bad words to others stop the rise of country Z?

Useless!

It's just a trail!

In front of the sixth-generation fighter of country Z, it seems so low-level and ridiculous.

Like a clown!

The competition between countries is hard power, and it is to see who has mastered the most advanced science and technology, and it seems that they have taken advantage of it for a while by using some indiscriminate means, and once the crisis comes, the original form will soon be revealed.

For example, in the face of the sixth-generation fighters of country Z and the fourth- and fifth-generation fighters of country M, they will encounter a grass-like ending...... That's the real cruelty.

Valen Turner had no choice but to murmur: "God bless us, let our scientists, develop the sixth-generation fighter as soon as possible, I can lose, but in this field, country M must not lose!" ”
