PAK FA, Sukhoi




PAK FA fifth-generation Sukhoi fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau for the Russian air force. PAK FA, when fully developed is intended to replace the MiG-29 Fulcrum and Su-27 Flanker in the Russian inventory and provide the basis for the project Sukhoi / HAL FGFa (developed with India). In the fifth-generation fighter, it is in direct competition with the American F-22 Raptor, and Anglo-American F-35 Lightning second.

Existing prototype called T-50 had its maiden flight Jan. 29, 2010. He was taken Sukhoi test pilot Sergei Bogdan and lasted 47 minutes. This is the second flight took place on February 6, is the third testflight on February 12, 2010.

In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union stressed the need for new generation aircraft to replace the MiG-29 and Su-frontline services 27. Two projects have been proposed to address this need, the Su-47 and Mikoyan Project 1.44. In 2002, Sukhoi was elected captain for the construction of new fighter aircraft. PAK-FA will incorporate technology such as the Su-47 and MiG 1.44.

Design of the plane

Although most information on the PAK FA is a secret, she says, from conversations with people in the Russian Air Force and Department of Defense that will be hidden (at a level slightly lower than the F-117), it is possible to supercruise be equipped with a new generation of air-air, air-ground and air-ship missiles, including a 1500 AESA radar array elements, and have "artificial intelligence".

PAK FA is required to use steam Saturn 117S engines on the first flights. 117C (AL-41F1A) is a major update of AL-31F, based on AC-41F is designed to provide Su-35BM, the production of 142 kN with afterburning thrust and 86.3 kN dry. Indeed, the PAK FA is already used a new engine in its maiden voyage, as indicated by Saturn. The engine is not based on the Saturn 117S. The engine produces more thrust and integrated automation systems, to facilitate flight modes, such as handling. The exact characteristics of this new engine is still a mystery.

The video shows first that the rudder does PAK-FA/T-50 classic flight, the vertical tails are fully mobile. The special design of tail fin is mechanically similar to the V-tail are used Northrop YF-23 in the 1990s, and expanded on stabilators horizontal (like the F-22). T-50 wing has advanced devices on the jet engine of consumption, which would be called a problem of signature verification.

SU-37 Terminator

SU-37 Terminator

At the outset I would like to clarify the meaning of the name Su-35BM. Which is taken verbatim from the Russian language: Су-35 Большая Модернизация and letters Angelizip: Su-35 Bolshaya Modernizacia. It means the word "Blchaya Madrnzatsia" considerable development.
Sukhoi Su-35BM will be the last development of the category Filanker. Last modified. Last Post. In fact, that the naming of this aircraft is a bit fuzzy. Since the Su-35 currently exist and serve in the Russian air force. P-Su-35 was the name that was used for the Su-27 aircraft and developed the so-called Su-27M "the name of the project is the T-10M". I have given the Su-27M of the original Flanker several new features. And also the capacity of air strikes - the land. We have produced only five planes of this type to serve in the Russian air force. And existing in the platoon, the 237 base Kubinka air. In fact I chose the Russian air force another course for the development of this plane. And by integrating all the technology tested in Su-35/T-10M with the technology used in the Su-30MK for the development of a new business model is the Su-27SM. By the way: Su-35 was also used to refer to the legendary fighter Su-37 "Terminator". Which was used as a model test to push mobile two-dimensional "2D Trust Vectoring". The new plane Su-35BM will cover the gap between the aircraft generation 4 + the Su-27SM aircraft and a fifth-generation PAK-FA. So we can consider the Su-35BM-generation 4 + + with the new aircraft MiG-35. Its first flight scheduled for late this year, "we hope to be in the Almax 2007." Sukhoi Company announced that 2007 would be the last year in the development of the Su-35BM. And has not decided yet whether to enter service in the Air Force or not. The question is: Is the plane will enter service in the Air Force on behalf of the Su-35BM? Or will be the development of new model of the light technology Filanker Su-35BM and Su-27SM2 called for example? And remain the Su-35BM Ktraz for export only. As for naming local Vtkon Su-27SM2 example? ... Manufacturer "KNAAPO" describes the new aircraft as follows: "Su-35BM is designed to be an air superiority (Air Superiority) to destroy aerial vehicles controlled or human-mail by guided missiles in the clashes, long and medium term. Also to destroy ground targets using all kinds of different weapons. And will also be used to destroy the infrastructure of existing on very long distances from bases at all. and protected by strongly anti-atmosphere systems AAD systems ". The most important characteristics of the Su-35BM/T-10BM are: - Superior performance in aviation "Superagility". - A system to identify long-term goal. - Information systems linked to an anti-jamming for air operations and ground bombardment. - Rockets short \ medium \ long-range performance and high efficiency of both types: anti-atmosphere and land. - Rocket prove from abroad on 14 points. - Systems EW / ECW / ER complex. - Radar cross-section of less (Reduced RCS). Which reduces the anti-radar detector to it. - Sensors of high strength with sufficient computing power and methods of systems integration allergy. - The cockpit with LCD screen, multi-task. - Stick refueling in the air. Unlike the Su-37 aircraft, which is very distinct. The Su-35BM will be equipped purely Russia. Because the cockpit of the Su-37 were imported from a company Sextant / Thales of France.

* The body of the plane:
The Su-35BM similar to the Su-27S-like than the Su-35/T-10M. Do not carry the front wings (Canards). And fins (Fins) is smaller. And also the cone is smaller than the guilt is boiled in the Su-35/T-10M. Flats flight in general more space. Alrdadat stretches along the wing, and so on. The fuselage more polished. And the surface is covered by Bal (RAM-Coating) and a new alloy composition. Allowing to reduce 20% of the weight of the aircraft and reduce the RCS. The Su-35BM also have a larger air vents for the engine "Air intake".

* Engines:

Be equipped with engines from model Saturn AL-41F1. Hot-"Supercruise" and estimated the momentum of 15 metric tons per engine. This family of engines used in aircraft, PAK-FA as well. It will also be used in aircraft Su-34 Fullback long distance. The category of AL-41 manufactured for the aircraft sufficient for the needs of the hungry and the speed of payment such as: MiG1.44MFI, Su-37, Su-47Berkut and has been its first use in aircraft MFI. But recent statements by the Company NPO Saturn manufactured for these engines says that these engines will not be ready for initial production of the PAK-FA. And therefore it is logical to assume that the Su-35BM will not provide the minds of AL-41F1 on its maiden voyage. But another official documents say that the Su-35BM will prove by the AL-41F1 on its maiden voyage. Or, more accurately is the engine AL-41F1A. The latter is the same features as the AL-41F1, but the property Supercruise's not sure where. AL-41F1A engine will be used also in the PAK-FA until he has finished work on the production of the final version of the AL-41F1. The latter would be designed in different. It should be noted that the MiG-35 contains moving to pay a three-dimensional "3D TVC". So Val AL-41F1 is also equipped with Bnvathat pay three-dimensional. And therefore both the F-generation 4 + + stages will be fitted with the payment of three-dimensional. As authorized at the sites of the official website. The AL-41F1 will have to pay the 14.5 tons per engine. Which is equivalent to 29 tons for the Su-35BM. As previously mentioned in the sources and that the surface plane Su-35BM will support a light textured reduce weight by 20%. The plane will have a high proportion of pay for weight "Huge Thrust-to-weight ratio". Which provides the ability of combat maneuvers and huge.

Sensors and navigation:
It has been suggested that the primary radar will be installed on the Su-35BM is a model Tikhomirov NIIP Irbis-E. But it is likely that the use of radar Phazotron NIIR radar "Sokol III (N031 Zhuk-MSFE)". And to take the achievements of radar technology Phazotron the AESA "Active Electronically Scanned Array", which was used recently in a plane generation 4 + + MiG-35. The Su-35BM may provide one of the models descending from the radar Phazotron AESA. In any case, the radar Irbis is the number one choice now.

Radar Tikhomirov NIIP Irbis-E uses a matrix scanned "electronically scanned array (ESA)". A multifunction radar system works on X band "the wave of between 7 to 12.5 GHz." And the device is installed on a hydraulic crane with double.
This radar system uses a computer "EKVS-E BTsVM Solo35 computing system". It is able to track 30 with the goal of further aerial surveys continued. This so-called "TWS" track-while-scan mode. Control system can direct a launch two missiles at the same time type SARH the so-called "semi-active radar guided missiles". Though the system has been used on cruise missiles ARH any "active radar guided missiles" He can direct 8 rockets at the same time.
Ovb tasks atmosphere - earth can preview the radar ground targets and the navy. And setting goals in each of the cases (real-beam, Doppler, SAR modes). Since the Irbis-E radiates tremendous energy of up to 20 kW. Fbasttaath goal-setting routine (cross-section 3 cubic meters) from a distance of 400 km!!! This number only in case if the target Mawaja radar "Head-On". In the event that the target followed by "Tail-On" at least a distance of goal setting to 150 km.
In the case of whether the target is property of Ghost (cross-section of 0.01 m cube), the radar can detect from a distance of 90 kilometers. And radar Irbis-E can also identify the target.
Su-35BM aircraft also have a rear radar system to identify and pursue the objectives behind the plane. And is installed inside the tail cone. It is not certain after any model used for the radar back. But it is likely that the use of radar Tikhomirov NIIP regime was ESA. It is also likely to be installed "active-array radars" NIIP and has said so publicly two years ago.
Radar back is not new to the Russian aircraft designs. Radar has been used Su-35/T-10M Phazotron N012 in the tail cone. As well as the MiG's 1.42/1.44 MFI used Phazotron N015. And also the attacking aircraft Su-34Fullback Leninets V005 system installed in the rear cone.

And the case of all-generation fighter planes Russian Alraya containing scanner and optical tracking infrared "IRST" it is natural to assume the Su-35BM's also a similar line. The type of device is not yet known. You will develop systems Filankerz normal "OELS-27". Or would it be something completely new?
As the MiG-35 offered a system is terrible OLS-35 multiaspect complex from NII PP. So it is possible to use the same device on the Su-35BM or device with the same efficiency.

Electronic warfare system KNIRTI L175M Khibiny-M is able to accurately identify threats. Set the coordinates of the threat. He is also responsible for generating noise signals and reproduced and transmitted. Systems of the L175M and each of the front and rear radar and infrared device. System integration of all Mousolon sensitive "sensory fusion". And distributed about 150 antenna on the fuselage. All this is controlled by a sophisticated computer system integrates all the readings to give the pilot information in the structural excellence of a large LCD display screens on the dashboard in the cabin. And also displays the glass on the helmet of the pilot.



* Weapons:


The Su-35BM is a multi-role fighter right. They carry both weapons "Joe - Joe" "Joe - the land of" "anti-ship weapons." All the full range of weapons of Joe - the land of the existing missiles and bombs will be installed on the Su-35BM. With regard to air missiles - Joe aircraft is its ability to carry all types Archer, Alamo, Adder, which Taatml b (R-73, R-27, R-77). And the aircraft will be also able to fire rockets very large extent "ultra-long range active radar missiles". This kind of missile, seen on the Su-35BM is a rocket Novator KS-172S-1 AAM. Which has the ability to engage from a distance of more than 300 km. And can be used on any type of aircraft flying at a height of 3 meters and up to a height of 30 km at speeds up to 4000 kilometers per hour. G-Force and up to 12G. The only thing certain at the news is that the Su-35BM will be capable of facing the very long term "ultralong range radar missile engagement capability". But he blamed the rocket KS-172S-1 is not yet certain. The other rocket designed for the long term development is a very Russian Vympel K-37/R-37M. Is the development of the R-37M missile, which installs on the MiG-31M. And which has been tested successfully on the objectives of 300 km.

Vympel's other designs are not yet agreed. Such as missiles and rocket engines Alramojt thermal and anti-radiation model for sloping R-77. But these properties can easily be added in the future.
And Vympel also announced the completion of a development model anti-radiation R-27P. And since the L175M device is chosen to be the basic model for electronic warfare systems. The missile, R-27P can be installed to work in harmony with the electronic warfare system in the Su-35BM.

As for the anti-ship weapons. Su-35BM so you can be launched anti-ship missiles of the type and Onyx Yakhont and Brahmos.

Avant-garde and the installation of a machine is not yet known .

Chengdu J-10

Chengdu J-10

Speculation has abounded about the evolution of the Chinese fighter jet, j-10 Some people believe that the design of the plane j-10 is inspired by the "Lavi" "lavy" a failed Israeli attempt to build a national aircraft f16 ..
In December 2006 the Chinese government announced on fighter aircraft j-10 Chinese television broadcast pictures and movies from the plane j-10 fighter and it was clear that the Chinese fighter plane will be one of the finest fighters in the coming decades ..
This is due the beginning of the development of fighter aircraft to China in October 1988 which was originally designed to be a fighter sovereign air ..
The eighties witnessed a number of similar designs are characterized by a major pavilion in the form of Delta.
The wing-shaped delta wing is a triangular level it provides two dynamic properties of the Hoaiitin Fighters:
First: the front edge of the flat wing of the plane, which is in the form of Delta remain steadfast to shocks resulting from the air the plane's nose is running faster than the speed of sound, making the wing in the form of Delta Hoaltsamim effective and dynamic planes that speed exceeds the speed of sound
II: The leading edge of the wing in the form of Delta, which produces a large and whirlwinds that are associated with the upper surface of the wing angle of attack during maneuvers higher.
In addition to the wing in the form of Delta provides increased ability to survive and to resist the currents of air.

* In 1993, they have been building the first prototype of the plane j-10 ..
But the test showed air tunnels possible defects when flying low speeds but less-than-expected speed when less than sound ..
At the same time there was an increasing trend to the continued development of fighter aircraft, which led to the development of fighter aircraft with a specific purpose such as aircraft carrying supersonic and that its speed exceeds the speed of sound, which are tasks (Joe - Joe) or (Joe - the land) and that to increase the possibilities of its functions ..

* The first test flight of the j-10 engine in 1996 with the assistance of the Russian
al31-fn turbofan It took two years before you can j-10 plane, the first successful test flight in 1998
In the year 1996 China had 6 main models of the plane j-10 used in Alokhtarat
Istkhaddmo 4 of them in flight tests and 2 tests are performed without air

* In late 2000, there were nine examples of the j-10 aircraft carried more than 140 flight hours
* The first flight model of the final pre-production on 28 June 2002
* At the beginning of 2003, ten models of the plane j-10 was deployed in military areas of the city Nagnj training and measurement of efficiency in military operations.

* The development will not stop China started construction of a two-seat models of the plane j-10 for training and missions (air - ground) and this two-seater version of the plane j-10 (Training - Fighter)
Pre-flying models of the two copies of the j-10 single engine and twin-engine successfully.

* Has won the fighter aircraft j-10 on confidence since the beginning of production in 2002.

* It is expected that when completed the development and modernization of the Chinese fighter j-10 it becomes obvious that they are interested in expanding the capabilities (Joe - Joe) and the transition from the original idea which aircraft (air defense) to the multi-plane capacity (grenade launchers). Perhaps the change in the Chinese report from the plane of the j-10 (fighter jet, j-10) to (attack aircraft j-10) is the best proof of this ....

* The Russian involvement in the plane j-10 is not confined to the engine Russian
al31-fn turbojet, but also included advanced radar equipment and air navigation system of identification of targets and warning system against missile defense system of the plane

* The production of the plane j-10 is able to adapt to the current development trends in addition to the use of other technologies (such as Russia and Israel) for the benefit of the final product. And the results are promising.

* The aircraft are expected to raise the capacity of the tactical offensive of the Chinese Air Force ..
Some sources say that this plane had purchased Syria and Iran

F-22 Raptor

Armed with America after the end of World War II, much of the types of weapons, both conventional and nuclear weapons, and the height of the conflict armaments during the Cold War, which divided the world into two parts the eastern part under the auspices of the former Soviet Union and the western section and the US-led U.S. civil, and was among the last one of them an raptors or P-22, and some analysts attribute to this aircraft, which use high technology methods and disguise are still in the process of production and development, there is no real discount to America as it was before.
And Iocol Gen. John Jember that the Cold War has ended and that a plane Alrapetr that are produced to fight the Cold War is still in production stage, and more so that there is an update and production of surface to air missiles, and some of its equipment had been distributed to some U.S. bases around the world, and reiterates also that the Cold War ended and with that there is still the production of sophisticated weapons will not stop production, and attributes this to the presence of weapons at the hands of America's enemies both known them or that they do not know, so the technology of modern weapons have absolute priority to be in America so as not to be subjected to any threat the future.

He adds that not only the Cold War, but no weapons had been manufactured and continues to be a development and continuous updating and cites the example of aircraft B-52, which has more than half a century has been produced after World War II and used the war in Korea, however it may share of development and modernization is well known that she had participated in the Second Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan and race between 2000 -2002 and was its basic mission is close air support on the battlefiel
