Chinese Air Force flying F-10 fighter fleet performance

At present, F-22, F-35 has become the most powerful development of new aircraft the Air Force and direction of the benchmark. However, soaring combat F-15 series aircraft might give another answer. According to the German "defense expert" website on August 16 reported that U.S. F-15E fighter jets have been equipped with advanced "Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System", the pilot need only "with the naked eye gaze," you can lock the air targets, and launch attacks. Improved F-15E models --- the ultimate "silent eagle" is "invisible" stealth fighter reached the market to compete with high-end.

The third generation of the more changes the more advanced fighters

U.S. Air Force major step towards the invisible at the same time, do not ignore the three generations of improvement and upgrading aircraft, F-15 fighter is one example. According to "defense experts" report, the U.S. Air Force 336 Fighter Squadron F-15E fighter has a rather sci-fi color dress helmet targeting system. Tracking system in the helmet and goggles under the effect of the display, the pilot eye clinics of the Department, aim weapons and sensors will be able to automatic pilot, the goal peg. 336 Squadron, Colonel Matt Swanson further said, "This 'Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System' can be basic flight parameters and goals coming from other aircraft information directly displayed in the pilot's eyes, you can easily identify ground targets, the effective control of fighter support for ground action. "

In addition, the U.S. Air Force F-15C fighters began to dress APG-63 (V) 3 active electronically scanned radar type, with a capacity of intercepting enemy ballistic missiles. Clearly, the U.S. military in the development of high-end stealth fighter, while continuing to explore the potential of third generation fighters.

In addition to improving radar and electronic systems and third-generation stealth fighter aircraft shape began to move closer. Boeing launched the F-15 "Silent Eagle" fighter on the use of internal weapons bay to reduce the radar echo, although difficult than stealthy F-22, but the positive projection of radar has "international style" F-35 quite, says , that was a "semi-stealth fighter." Boeing also revealed the ability of the company also developed a version of the F/A-18 stealth fighter. Stealth aircraft can be seen a large popular these days in the same time, three generations of the same aircraft with vitality.

Provide a new choice of stealth progressive

Completely built and weapons, edges and corners prominent F-22, F-35 fighters compared to the "silent Eagle" can only be considered halfway decent stealth fighter. While failing to appreciate the rich and powerful U.S. Air Force stealth fighter that half-baked, but for limited funds, a short time can not stealth fighter developed countries, equipment similar to the "silent Eagle" semi-stealth fighters may well be a short cut to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Air Force. According to the British, "Flight International" reported that the Boeing company in early July to receive the F-15 "Eagle silence" of the export license, the future is expected with the Lockheed Martin F-35 as well as Europe's "Typhoon" fighter bidding Korea 2011 F-3X Fighter project. South Korean Air Force to equip with the F-15 fighters, so "silence Eagle" competitive advantages.

Just like China have developed the third generation fighter capabilities, through outsourcing is unlikely to obtain stealth fighter, and F-15 model of development is worth learning. China has produced J -11 J -10 and three generations of the two types of quasi-fighter, but in the short term can not reach the level of F-22. Some experts believe that China can adopt a "gradual of stealth" model of development based on first to third generation fighters, from subsystems to the overall transformation of its partial stealth, and ultimately from the "semi-stealth aircraft," the transition to "full stealth fighter" . West had previously speculated to improve models of the inlet F -10 F-35 used the non-isolated design of the boundary layer ("Fierce Dragon" fighter also applied the technology) to reduce the radar reflection area. This means that China is developing three generations of fighters such as F -10, stealth technology has begun to move.
