In Russia, it has conducted the sixth-generation fighter development – RSUTE

Moscow / 03.03.2016 / RSUTE.ru

Russia is developing a fighter aircraft of the sixth and possibly the seventh generation, said Commander VKS Russia. The details he did not say, however, noted that the sixth-generation aircraft will be presented and unmanned.

Chief of the Air Space Forces Colonel General Viktor Bondarev said on the possible development of Russia’s seventh-generation fighters. Commander confined himself to a short statement, noting that a lot of talk about this is not right. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that Russia has already begun the sixth-generation fighter development.

According Bondarev, “if we do stop, then stop forever” , RIA “Novosti”. “(Go) Operation and sixth, and probably, seventh (generation) . Many say I have no right, “- said the commander in chief of VKS the Russian Federation, responding to a question about the work on creation of the sixth-generation fighter

Colonel-General noted that the sixth-generation Russian aircraft. developed both in manned and unmanned, reports TASS. “He (the plane -.. Note NEWSru.com ) will be modified – and such and such an option,” -. Said Bondarev

It should be noted that this has not yet been adopted We came fifth generation fighter. “We have this aircraft in 2017 are planning to get longer,” – Bondarev said. He stressed that the Russian novelty will be for all practical purposes surpass foreign counterparts , such as the US F-22 and F-35.

The military said that the current pattern of Russian military aviation will be very imperceptible. “Aircraft Tests are under way, the plane shows excellent performance. It works great weapons system both on the ground and in the air, “- said Bondarev

generation fighter

a single agreement on the properties required for. referring to the next, no categorization is inaccurate and may experience differences over individual products. Widely accepted is the system identifies five existing generations.

Terminology generations is an informal, A. Hebert thought system is still controversial in 2008. It was also suggested several other systems (included some non-reactive and fighters). So, Richard Hallion in 1990. There are six generations that do not meet applicable in the XXI century:

Subsonic (1943-1950): Messerschmitt 262, Yak-15, MiG-9, F-84 with straight wings. The Mach number:. 0,75-0,85

transonic (1947-1955): F-86, MiG-15, MiG-17. The Mach number:. 0,9-1,05

Early supersonic (1953-1960): MiG-19, F-8. The Mach number:. 1,3

Supersonic limited use (1955-1970): F-104, earlier MiG-21 and Mirage III. The Mach number:. 2,0

The supersonic multi-purpose (1958-1970): F-105, F-4, the later editions of the MiG-21 and Mirage III. The Mach number:. 1,4-2,5

Highly supersonic multi-purpose: the F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, MiG-29, Su-27. The Mach number:. 1,8-2,5

Now it is accepted to allocate five generations of fighters. fifth-generation fighter aircraft taken into service in 2001 in the United States, and Russia are in the process of flight tests. The search for the fifth-generation fighter image began in the mid 70-ies in the USSR and the USA, where the fourth generation of machines – such as the Su-27, MiG-29, F-14 and F-15 – have yet to make their first steps. On the paper were attracted leading industry research centers and EDO.

PAK FA

By 2014 was only accepted into service is a fifth-generation fighter F-22 Raptor. Flight tests are another five fighters: PAK FA (Russia), F-35 (USA), J-20 (China), J-31 (China) and Mitsubishi ATD-X (Japan)

<. strong> criteria 6 generations

in fact, on the basis of what criteria, a new fighter could be attributed to the 6-generation aircraft? Among the main, that they are called experts – autonomous flight. That is, the machine will not manage people, and your computer – automatically or by remote interaction with people. However, there are experts in the field of aviation, who say that the generation fighter 6 can be piloted. It is possible, allow the experts that the newest class of machines will be available in two technological implementations at the same time.

There is a version that the American airmen near unmanned concept and Russia, in turn, is one in which the aircraft will be operated by man . Designers from the United States, as noted in the number of sources is calculated thereby give fighters an incredibly high resistance to overloads, because the robot will be able to withstand them without any problems. The Russians, in turn, tend to believe that no computer is not able to operate the machine at the human level. However, in an environment of aircraft from Russia and many supporters and unmanned concepts. However, as noted by some experts, at this part of the Russian engineers are somewhat inferior to Western counterparts.

As a confirmation of this are unsuccessful tests of the latest models of unmanned vehicles, created in the Russian Federation. And because 6-generation fighter Russia, experts say, with some likely to create on the basis of the concept, which will manage people by plane. Among the other important criteria promising machines as experts call an extraordinary low profile. The current level of “stealth” technology provides protection from the aircraft air defense systems is not 100%. Moreover, if we take the most modern air defense missile systems, such as, for example, the Russian S-400, the “stealth” at current levels – is hardly an obstacle for them. However, generation fighter 6 is expected to experts, will be able to leave out of work, even the most technologically advanced air defense weapons by stealth.

One of the concepts fighter 6th generation

by the way, the above criteria can complement anti-air defense systems (missiles, decoys, etc.). The next criterion – a disproportionately higher rate of fighter compared to previous generations of machines. If now the fastest military aircraft flying from the index about 3 Mach, the 6-generation development is expected to be able to overcome the threshold of 5. Cruising speed (without the inclusion afterburner thrust) newest fighters, experts say, will definitely supersonic. Also it will be able to gain much faster. Quite possibly, the cruising speed of the future fighter aircraft will be identical today afterburning speed -. 1.5-2 Mach

One of the likely characteristics of the engines that are installed on superfast fighters – very high efficiency. Thanks to her, the planes can fly without refueling for a long time, and therefore carry a patrol on large distances with respect to their bases.

From the structural point of view 6 generation machine, as experts believe, will be very ergonomic. It is possible that the wing, for example, is mostly encased in the fuselage. There is a chance, experts say that fighters belonging to the 6 generation of the world will not be equipped with vertical fins. Perhaps at the heart of the aircraft design is the concept of “flying wing” (like the futuristic-looking B-2, which is on the US Air Force). How will look the newest fighter? Photography, which is lower, can give us a rough orientation.
