Although the Bharata Navy and Air Force believe that their current comprehensive strength is the third in the world, or even the second in the world, and that it is the absolute first in Asia! However, it is an undeniable fact that there is no real fifth-generation aircraft at home, whether it is land-based or sea-based aviation. Although the Rafale fighter jets that can be introduced at a high price without restrictions are 4.5 or even 4.8 generations, the generation difference of only "0.2" is a gap that cannot be crossed no matter what. After all, even the country of origin of the Rafale does not dare to classify the latest version of the Rafale as a stealth fighter. On the contrary, all of Bharatana's neighboring countries cannot let go of it at any time, but the equipment of heavy stealth fighters is increasing. Even if he was killed, he refused to admit that his heavy stealth machine could easily suppress all gusts of wind and even his own brilliance, but he couldn't convince himself after all. In the end, you need to equip yourself with the same number of standard stealth machines, which is the real solution. The problem is that at present, we design and manufacture stealth machines by ourselves,
There are too many difficulties in a short period of time, and just a high-thrust turbofan may not be fruitful for another 30 years. And the direct introduction of F35 is not ranked. Engaging in so-called joint research and development with second-rate countries such as Britain and France is also only thunder and not rain. Is there no ultimate shortcut that is fast and good? It really made Bharata's armament experts come up with it: That is, to directly skip the "repetitive" research and development of fifth-generation aircraft or even sixth-generation aircraft, and directly launch the seventh-generation fighter plane, which is not available in the world at present! The main reason is also very simple, that is, whether it is the existing fifth-generation aircraft or the sixth-generation aircraft that the major powers are trying to break through, in essence, they still adopt the traditional powertrain of air-breathing jet propulsion. This is true for turbojet and turbofan systems, as well as for state-of-the-art naturally variable cycle engines. And all such aero engines have a series of shortcomings that cannot be overcome, that is, the maximum flight speed cannot exceed Mach 5, and the maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 60 kilometers above the ground.
Because once it flies more than 50 kilometers, the oxygen content in the upper atmosphere will not be able to support the oxidative combustion work of the air-breathing jet engine. This basic law of physics determines the maximum upper limit of the performance of the traditional type of 6th generation engine. Rather than this, it would be better to find a new way and directly develop a new high-performance engine with a completely different principle. Moreover, Bordedo has not made any progress in the high-thrust turbofan project for 40 years, so it is better to simply abandon this difficult old track; take the lead in the world to enter a brand-new power system and go all out to develop the corresponding seventh-generation super fighter! So what kind of new fighter is suitable for the seventh-generation fighter? Bordeana's top experts believe that it is better to directly adopt a solid rocket with a relatively low level of domestic research and development and manufacturing, plus a hydrogen-oxygen variable thrust engine as an auxiliary. Such a manned flying body can take off from zero altitude on the ground, and it only takes less than 10 minutes to climb to an altitude of more than 160 kilometers and go directly into orbit!
After slowing down, it will enter the atmosphere to intercept and combat all kinds of air combat! Once this project is successfully developed, it will not only be far ahead of the world in air combat technology, but will even solve the problem of even manned spaceflight! Just do it, this project will be officially approved this year; all designs will be completed in 2025; and a prototype will be built and the first test flight will be carried out in 2026.
