This Is What 6th Generation Fighters Will Look Like

What do we mean when we say fifth

generation

fighter? When it comes to fighter aircraft, the modern world is currently in a transition. The fighter jets we have all known and loved over the years are reaching the end of their operational useful life. There have been many updates. programs for some of these aircraft, but the Air Force has canceled these costly upgrades as it is now more feasible to build an entirely new platform thanks to significant advances in technology, there are some sixth-

generation

concepts and, of course, our latest

fighters

. fifth generation. Keep

look

ing, you might be surprised at

what

actually works to get an idea of ​​where we are now.

It's a good idea to take a

look

at fourth-generation

fighters

just to see how far we've come. These are fighter aircraft that have been in service since 1980 and represent design concepts from the 1970s that have become drastically and dangerously obsolete with weapons mounted on the exterior of the aircraft, significant drag is produced that interferes with maneuverability and While it may seem logical to continue updating the aircraft, old fuselage designs are obsolete compared to new technology. Fifth-generation fighters are aircraft associated with technologies developed during the first part of the 21st century. Of course, the exact characteristics of Fifth-generation fighters are controversial and Lockheed Martin loosely defines them as having all aspects of stealth even when armed and LPI are low probability of interception radars, allowing the aircraft the ability to avoid detection using detection equipment. passive radar while searching for a target.

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation single-seat twin-engine all-weather aircraft. Tactical stealth fighter developed for the United States Air Force. The aircraft was variously designated the F-22 and FA 22 before formally entering service in December 2005 as the F-22. The aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack. Electronic warfare and signals intelligence capabilities work and pick up any communication. The F-22's combination with a stealth-enhanced airframe that delivers exceptional aerodynamic performance and situational awareness makes it one of the most dangerous fighter jets in the world, and surprisingly, it is one of only three.

The fifth-generation aircraft and operational military service is not only the most advanced aircraft in the world, but it is also the most expensive combat aircraft to date; each plane costs one hundred and fifty million dollars; The total cost of the program is sixty-seven points. three billion dollars there are few countries that can afford it the f-35 lightning ii built by Lockheed Martin is a single-seat single-engine all-weather stealth fighter aircraft its job is to conduct ground attacks in air superiority missions the The most obvious difference between the F-22 and the F-35 is that the F-22 has two F119 PW100 turbofan engines.

Two things differentiate the F-22 engines from the F-35 engine: the Pratt & Whitney F119 gives the F-22 super Crow capability meaning it is operating at supersonic speeds without using afterburners; Second, the F-22 has converging-diverging thrust vectoring nozzles whose vectors push up or down to a maximum of 20 degrees, giving the F-22 the maneuverability of the F-35. I just can't match the other obvious and unmentioned thing is that an F119 generates 35,000 pounds of thrust while two engines give the F-22 between 65,000 and 70,000 pounds of thrust. There are three main models, the f-35a uses conventional takeoff and landing. but the f-35b can perform short takeoffs and land vertically like the older Harrier Jump Jets and then there is the f-35C which was designed with a catapult assisted takeoff but stopped recovery for use on aircraft carriers where it flew by first time the f-35.

On December 15, 2006, the program ended seven years behind schedule and was one hundred and sixty-three billion dollars over budget, but in July 2015, the United States Marines declared that the first quadrant of F-fighters 35b was ready for deployment. The plane has a ton of fifth generation aircraft. enhancements including low-maintenance stealth technology, integrated avionics and sensor fusion that increases pilot situational awareness. The fighter jet is also equipped with autonomous logistics, autonomous logistics information system and computerized maintenance management system to help ensure the aircraft can remain operational with minimal maintenance manpower. and lightweight, powerful lithium-ion batteries, the aircraft can basically take care of itself and manage its own systems without a full maintenance team.

It has many other incredible technologies, but many of them are still top secret information. The F-35 engine is the F1 35 with afterburning turbofan manufactured by Pratt & Whitney. It is currently the most powerful jet fighter engine ever developed. The conventional takeoff and landing jet engine model produces 28,000 pounds of thrust and up to 43,000 pounds with afterburning. This new engine design was actually developed from the proven Pratt & Whitney f119 pw100 engine that powers the US Air Force's f-22 Raptor, the only other operational fifth-generation fighter currently being the Chinese one. Jiang du j-20, which is a single-seat twin-engine all-weather stealth fighter. aircraft developed by China's Chengdu Aerospace Corporation for the People's Liberation Army Air Force, the third fifth-generation operational fighter, the Chengdu J-20, was designed as an air superiority fighter with precision strike capability and is descended from the jxx program from the 1990s that he made into his first model. flight on January 11, 2011, but it was not revealed until 2016, in March 2017, the plane was in military service, so how does it compare to the f-22?

The j-20 is longer but has a shorter wingspan, but both have a top speed of 1,534 miles per hour faster than the speed of sound. One problem for the J-20 is its reliance on engines made in China or Russia, which severely impacts maneuverability and stealth capabilities at supersonic speeds. The F-22's engines allow it to super cruise at Mach 1.8. - and, of course, the f-22 has vectoring nozzles that allow it to perform agile maneuvers even at supersonic speeds. The G20 has excellent front and side stealth capabilities, but the rear of the aircraft, possibly due to the engines, is believed to be more vulnerable to radar.

Compared to the F-22, the J-20 has a larger bay that allows it to carry longer-range missiles or precision laser-guided bombs. Interestingly, the fighter jet has not been confirmed to have weapons, of course, that doesn't mean it isn't. Packing a cannon in the wing or nose somewhere or could even have laser weapons, the F-22 on the other hand has a 20 millimeter M61 cannon and 2 Vulcan and can carry 8 short or medium range missiles and air-air-air. grounded missiles armed with that information, it looks like the f-22 could defend itself against a j-20, but there is one more fifth generation fighter jet that is supposed to enter military service and be operational in the second half of 2019 , the Russian Sukhoi Su-15 is the designation of the multi-role twin-engine single-seat stealth fighter developed for air superiority and strike operations.

It is the first Russian jet fighter to use stealth technology and has other fifths. Generation features such as super cruise maneuverability and advanced avionics,

this

new fighter jet is intended to succeed the mig-29 and su-27 in the russian air force even though there are only three operational fifth generation fighter jets and in service. In the world and with the entry into service of the Russian aircraft, only four models are manufactured, countries are already looking towards the future of sixth generation aircraft. The United States Air Force is developing and acquiring a sixth-generation fighter through the penetrating anti-aircraft program to replace it.

To leverage its existing air superiority aircraft, such as the McDonnell Douglas f-15 Eagle, and complement existing platforms and surfaces, such as the Lockheed Martin f-22 Raptor, the USAF released a video sometime in March 2018 showing a sixth generation concept fighter called FX which is a very modern design and one of the future weapons demonstrated was a laser beam that can cut another fighter jet into pieces since 2015, the United States Air Force has had plans to mount lasers in current aircraft and aircraft such as the f-15 and the f-16 and The ac-130 Lockheed Martin recently received a twenty-six point three million dollar contract to develop the laser for fighter aircraft.

It is not clear

what

capabilities a sixth-generation fighter would have compared to a fifth-generation fighter that has already advanced by leaps and bounds. a fourth generation fighter like the trusty f-16 or f-15 that fights evil, but these new fighters could have the possibility of being manned or unmanned, they

will

probably use artificial intelligence to classify data and analyze threats, which

will

allow will give the pilot the ability to focus on objectives. Modern aircraft could also control and orchestrate swarms of unmanned vehicles as they flew around the pilot's aircraft providing defensive and offensive capabilities, but there are surprisingly many proposed models.

Russia has been drawing up plans for the mckeon MIG. However, the program is highly secret and not much is known about it. The UK unveiled a model of the next-generation aircraft with the Tempest concept in July 2018. This aircraft will have two engines hidden deep in the fuselage to help keep its radar and infrared signatures as low as possible. Royce is currently working on the engine design using composite materials as an advanced manufacturing process to make the engine super lightweight and have better thermal management. All those things designed to keep the engines under the radar. The aircraft is also slated to get many offensive and defensive weapons. locked inside the room and armed with directed energy defensive weapons such as lasers, it is a cool looking aircraft and will be exciting to see put together, that is if the country can afford the program the US is currently working on on two models of six generations, the Boeing FA xx. and the USAF FX fighter aircraft.

Japan is also getting into the sixth generation game with the RDI I three finer or the Mitsubishi f3, which is based on technology developed for the Mitsubishi x2 shinchon. Despite

this

, there are very few reports on the progress of these programs and it is interesting that we have jumped from the fifth generation to the sixth generation with only four fighters entering service in 2019. It could be possible that our technology has increased so much. dramatically that building fifth-generation fighters would be a waste of time. One thing is for sure: the war is changing just as fast Russia and China claimed to have new hypersonic missiles and operating these missiles is so fast that they can cover four hundred and fifty miles in just six minutes China is publishing that it has the first electromagnetic railgun and that can fire incredibly fast and accurate cheap guided projectiles at incredible distances and everyone has been testing lasers for their ability to shoot down drones, incoming missiles and other aircraft, the future may belong only to drones, hypersonic speeds and artificial intelligence.

Skynet, anyone for one less guard from the future. of technological countries will have to keep up by building fighter jets that can deal with many new threats.
