The J-20 just in service, the next generation fighter began to become users 
of discussion, and spontaneous to number "J-50 fighters." remember 10 
years ago in the J-20 has not yet appeared, there are enthusiastic users
 named "J-20" results unfortunately. Will it be lucky to continue this 
time?<br />
We are looking forward to it. As a leading China after 2030 air 
superiority fighter, users give high expectations will die can be 
understood. J-31 this number has been used. Then it will be 
possible to continue later, and the number after J-31 will be lucky.<br />
<br />
<i>The success of the next generation of fighters depends on the pace of 
research and development of advanced engines</i>.<br />
<br />
The United States general 
aviation group develops and demonstrates adaptive cycle fan engines.<br />
The
 United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) signed contracts 
with Pratt & Whitney and GE in 2012 to develop an adaptive engine 
technology development (AETD) engine with three ducted and adaptive 
circulating fans.<br />
<br />
Because the traditional turbofan turbofan engine 
technology is thought to have been close to the limit of development 
bottleneck, think in the future six generation machine first, has 
appeared to be inadequate. China has so far failed to announce what 
technology the next generation of engines will use, but has said it is 
actively developing it. From public data, we can see that a pulse 
detonation engine technology, Russia and China have been in research and
 development. But the engine has been considered more suited to space 
technology than to fighter aircraft.<br />
<br />
Unlike Russia, the two largest engine company in the United States still
 makes major technological changes on the basis of the original turbofan
 engine, although relatively conservative, but the technology maturity 
and R & D cycle is much shorter. Neither GE nor Pratt & Whitney 
will produce a full-size AETD engine, but in this research project, two 
contractors must refine multiple designs into one. The AFRL limits the 
size of the engines, and the AETD of the two companies need to be the 
same size as the F-135 engine, that is to say, to fit into the fuselage of the 
F-35 fighter.<br />
<br />
In the past few decades, China has taken the shape of aircraft first and
 then into the engine development. Do not know that the cycle of engine 
research and development is several times the aircraft, because it is 
often finished aircraft manufacturing, the engine is not beautiful. 
Since 2000, China has also adjusted its strategy, glued to the world 
standard and increased the speed of engine research and development. The
 fourth generation of "WS-15 Emei" has been successful, the 5-generation 
engine in Ukraine and technical personnel to join the case, will 
accelerate the process.<br />

<div class="article__summary summary ">

The Russian military is developing sixth- and possibly 
seventh-generation fighter jets, looking into the future of air warfare,
 an Air Force commander has told journalists. Without revealing details,
 he said the planes would be both manned and unmanned.

</div>
<div class="article__text text ">
While Russia’s 
state-of-the-art Sukhoi T-50 fifth-generation fighter jet is undergoing 
trials and nearing entry into service with the Air Force, preliminary 
research and development work on a sixth-generation warplane is also 
underway, TASS reported Wednesday.<br />
<em>“Work on sixth- and, probably, seventh-generation [fighter jets] is going on. I can’t say too much [about it],”</em>
 Air Force commander Colonel General Viktor Bondarev told journalists. 
He stressed that if the research and development phase stopped now, it 
would <em>“stop forever.”</em><br />

<br />
While not much is known about the fifth-generation T-50 jet, 
there is even less information about the sixth-generation fighter 
concept. General Bondarev said the 6G jet is designed in manned and 
unmanned versions, and <em>“will become modernized in either variant.”</em><br />
The
 unmanned option seems to be a critical component to ensure breakthrough
 air superiority capabilities and the ability to outperform the 
competition. The Air Force commander added that the human body “has its 
limits,” while an unmanned airplane’s avionics and hardware <em>“are much more functional and can withstand any G-force."</em><br />
<em>“Can you ever imagine what capabilities an unmanned fighter, bomber or attack jet could have?”</em><br />
He
 did not specify a time frame for when a trial version of such a 
warplane could be rolled out, but said it is unlikely to happen within 
the next several years.<br />
Prior to General Bondarev’s comments, 
Dmitry Rogozin, vice-prime minister in charge of the military industry, 
told media that the first draft outlines for a 6G fighter jet <em>“were briefly presented”</em> by the Sukhoi design bureau.</div>

<br />
The fighter aircraft feature being highly maneuverable. The air intakes 
sit atop the fighter’s fuselage to maximize low-observability and the 
nose section is similar to the YF-23, with a bubble canopy, pointed 
radome and a chine-line along the nose leading edge. <br />

Underneath, bulging weapons bays can be made out, as well as 
apertures possibly for optical targeting systems or even a laser. The 
exhausts are pushed forward along the jet’s upper fuselage to mask their
 heat signatures from lower viewing angles.<br />
<br />
The idea is that combat aircraft can use solid-state laser systems defensively, creating a sanitized sphere of safety around the aircraft,
 shooting down or critically damaging incoming missiles and approaching 
aircraft with their laser turrets. They can also use such a system 
offensively, leveraging their stealth capabilities to sneak up on enemy 
aircraft and striking with speed-of-light accuracy.<br />

Even attacking targets on the ground, such as individual people, with
 pinpoint precision, or shooting down ballistic missiles and other 
targets traditionally relegated to larger and much more complex ground 
or sea-based weapon systems, are possibilities.<br />
<br />
The introduction of nimble and compact lasers on the aerial 
battlefield will likely allow fighter-sized combat aircraft designs to 
cease putting a premium on maneuverability, as lasers are speed-of-light
 weapons. In other words, as long as the enemy can be detected and is 
within the laser’s range, they are at risk of being fried regardless of 
how hard they try to evade via hard turns and other high-g maneuvers. 
Countermeasures will become more about evading initial detection, 
staying outside an opposing aircraft’s laser’s envelope, and confusing 
targeting sensors than out-maneuvering the adversary. In other words, 
the dogfights of the future will look nothing like they do today.<br />
<br />

One issue pointed out by Northrop Grumman is that these lasers, along
 with future engines and avionics, will put out a huge amounts of heat, 
making thermal control a huge concern for stealthy aircraft. Infrared search and track systems,
 both air and ground based, are only becoming more sensitive and 
reliable as time goes on. As a result, future stealthy fighter aircraft 
will have to keep their cool in order to remain undetected over the 
battlefield.<br />
<br />
One way the Pentagon and possibly some defense aerospace contractors 
are looking at dealing with this problem will be by using a large 
thermal accumulator to control the aircraft’s heat signature while using
 laser weaponry, although Northrop Grumman seems to be pursuing a 
different—albeit more shadowy—way of dealing with the problem. <a href="https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/northrop-beating-heat-leads-sixth-generation-fighte-420006/" target="_blank"><em>Flightglobal.com</em> talked with Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems President Tom Vice about the issue:</a><br />

<blockquote>
“Venting the heat offboard only raises the aircraft’s 
visibility to heat-sealing sensors. Another option is to develop a 
thermal accumulator, which is a path the<a href="http://aviationweek.com/awin/afrl-s-invent-program-tackles-aircraft-system-efficiency" target="_blank"> Air Force Research Laboratory is pursuing under the INVENT program</a>.
 An electrical accumulator stores the energy onboard in the same way as a
 hydraulic accumulator, releasing the latent energy as necessary to 
generate a surge of power.<br />
But Northrop’s sixth-generation fighter
 concept eschews the accumulator concept for thermal management. 
According to Vice, such a system imposes a limitation on the laser 
weapon’s magazine size or firing rate, forcing the pilot to exit combat 
until the accumulator is refilled with energy. Northrop is pursuing a 
concept instead that does not rely on accumulators or offboard venting 
to manage the heat, but Vice declines to elaborate on the company’s 
specific approach to solving the thermal management problem.”</blockquote>
For a sixth-generation fighter like the ones depicted by Northrop 
Grumman, top-end speed and maneuverability may be sacrificed to some 
degree—at least, if the crank-kite flying wing design is used—in order 
achieve many other enhanced capabilities at an affordable cost. For 
instance, packing a laser system and long-range into a 9G tailless, 
supersonic fighter design may not only be prohibitively expensive, but 
also wasteful. By giving up maneuverability and high top-speed 
performance for enhanced stealth and greater fuel and weapons capacity, 
while relying on lasers instead of maneuverability for self defense, 
little is lost while much is gained. <br />

<span class="s1"><span class="s1">The major challenge, Northrop acknowledges, isn’t so

 physics.</span> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<span class="s1">High-powered lasers are famously inefficient, 
converting only about a third of the energy they expend into 
target-incinerating laser beam power. So for every megawatt of energy 
from a laser weapon, twice that is wasted as heat. For a stealth jet 
trying to hide from sophisticated radar and infrared sensors, venting 
huge amounts of heat is roughly equivalent to firing off signal flares.</span><b> </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<br />1. According to <a href="http://fortune.com/2015/12/15/northrops-fighter-jet-laser/" target="_blank">Fortune</a>, a laser is only 1/3 
efficient. To achieve a one megawatt laser output, you need three 
megawatts of power input!<br />
<br />
2. To focus a megawatt laser (like the Boeing ABL), need two sets of
 huge optics. Need a tracking laser and a second firing laser. An 
additional problem is the constant fluctuation of air density. This 
makes it difficult to keep a beam focused on a target. This means wasted
 energy.<br />
<br />3. A laser weapon would require a big aircraft. This is bad for stealth.
 A large airplane means a larger RCS.<br />
<br />
4. In the thin upper atmosphere, the Boeing ABL could only achieve a 50 
to 100 mile range. In the mid-atmosphere, probably looking at 50
 miles maximum. Modern BVR missiles have greater range than 50 miles. 
This means a BVR missile has longer range than a laser.<br />
<br />
5. No practical defense (aside from electronic countermeasure) can be 
placed on an aircraft to stop a kinetic kill by a missile. On the other 
hand, lots of defenses can be employed to defeat a laser. 
Countermeasures against a laser include spinning, mirror-like finish, 
heat tiles, ablative armor, etc.<br />
<br />
As the Fortune article mentions, a laser weapon creates a new heat problem of infrared detection.<br />
In conclusion, I don't think a laser weapon is practical. The downsides 
far outweigh the benefit. Sure, a solid-state laser is reloadable. 
However, there are too many problems and I still think a salvo of BVR 
missiles is more effective. <i>Martian2</i></div>

<div class="quote" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">先说大气层外的：</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
1，wu14乘波体10倍音速水漂蛋（兔子5次试验全中，酱鹰直接玩高大上，20倍音速两次都挂了，再无音讯，充分说明步子大了扯到蛋）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
2，关岛快递df26液氮冷却隐身弹（废了酱鹰的陆基萨德和海标三）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
3，dn1，dn2号kkv硬碰撞大气层外中段反导（10倍以上音速精确对撞拦截，全球仅此两家）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
4，地球同步轨道反卫星（2千公里高轨道，兔子一发中，管你空间污染，你行你也打，不行别BB）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
5，2小时玩遍全球神龙空天飞行器（打遍全球不只是酱鹰的梦想）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
6，纽约快递df41的mirv分导再入多弹头（酱鹰的私人定制，全境覆盖和反拦截不说，妈的，核弹洗地还搞精确打击）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
7，094带JL-2正式值班，还是365天轮岗的（太祖太宗承诺了：不先使用核平弹，可亲们请留意，俺们后发也能让蓝星开启重启模式的）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
8，快舟快速补网星箭一体（星球大战，要的就是你打多少我补多少）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
9，永远为大农业部服务的海洋监测卫星等各种星星（怎么不说还能精确定位大型舰船那）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
10，还有今天的cz6一箭20星（发卫星都搞土豆成本，白菜价，nasa和欧洲宇航局以后只能陪标了）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
11，库尔勒激光照射反导反卫星（有钱了，反导都玩备份的）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
12，东南西北大型预警反导雷达（偷窥别人隐私的可不止酱鹰一家爱好）。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
再说说大气层和近大气层的：</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
13，九一八，j20的2016版试飞（齐活了，只等新菊花，什么？矢量版WS15也成了，让子弹飞一会儿）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
14，9月15日，pl10和pl15同一天打鸟成功（有了4代机还有4代弹，听说400公里秒杀千里眼，81192的仇等着你来报）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
15，九一八再次尿穿紫裤衩，高超音速超高空侦打一体无人机试飞，什么叫高超音速，什么叫超高空（中华版女武神横空出世）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
16，翼龙翔龙暗剑利剑四大无人机（超级大国的遥控玩具）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
17，hq19，hq26大气层末端反导（酱鹰快来试试俺的新竹杆）。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
还有没露面的</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
18，H20大蝙蝠(这个可是叫夏威夷不长草的）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
19，DF27（全程版隐身东风？还一切尽在掌握不？？）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
20，CZ5大推力运载火箭（兔版空间站就靠它了）；</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
21，量子通讯卫星（星际通讯服务为您开通）。</span></div>
