The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 303 Our Army’s Sixth Generation Aircraft
303 Our army's sixth-generation aircraft
Fade Chen didn't speak any more. He raised his chin slightly and looked at the airspace in front of the windshield without blinking, as if there was a beautiful woman in front of him. He lost his mind, but in fact, his eyes were not With no focal length, his eyes stretched forward, stretched, and flew to nowhere. He was not looking at anything, but he was actually lost in thought.

The sixth-generation machine used to exist only in the concept of some experts in our army. Occasionally, there would be a little related discussion in some conferences or some professional journals, but it was still only superficial. Today, many people don't know what our army's sixth-generation opportunity looks like.

But since we obtained the top-secret information on the alien world, and since some information about the U.S. military, the Russian army, and Japan and South Korea has been released to us, the sixth-generation aircraft of our army has gradually taken shape, and relevant information has also surfaced. , Of course, these things are top secret, and ordinary people can't see them, but Chen Fei and Yang Mei must know something.

Then, after the advent of the sixth-generation aircraft, how to fight in air combat, how to train pilots, how to train them, what is the goal, what are the types of missions, etc., etc., these problems have become real problems before everyone. .

This time, the main reason why the superior sent Fade Chen back to China was to let him take charge of this project!

Just now Yang Mei said that under the sixth-generation machine, the fifth-generation machine has no room for survival. This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the overall meaning is self-evident.

Moreover, Fade Chen also raised his hands in favor of this point of view.

Regarding the sixth-generation aircraft, countries have their own opinions and designs, but no matter what, there are a few points that are the same.

One is full-spectrum stealth, which cannot be detected by radar in any aspect, and infrared detection should try to avoid being detected;

The second is super mobility.Regarding this aspect, different countries have different understandings, and different understandings lead to different design ideas.

Some countries believe that the speed must be fast, super-sonic, and at least Mach [-]. Some countries believe that there must be a super-high ceiling, the upper part must be able to enter the outer atmosphere, and the lower part must be able to fly at ultra-low altitudes.

Now, our army's sixth-generation aircraft has been basically determined. At least Shangqiu and the others have reached an agreement on their philosophy, which is to have both the characteristics of super high speed of sound and super high ceiling.

So, here comes the question, to meet these two requirements at the same time, what should the pilot do?
Under the state of five or six times the supersonic speed, can the pilot withstand it?
Well, even if a talented pilot like Fade Chen can handle it, what about the others?

It's impossible that only one pilot like Fade Chen can fly sixth-generation aircraft in the whole army, right?

Well, even if Fade Chen isn't the only one who can do this job, there are many pilots who can do it!But there is no doubt that the number of pilots who can meet such high requirements is definitely not too many. So, once these pilots die or grow old, what should we do?You know, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not easy to train a pilot. Any one will cost tens of millions of dollars. If it is a pilot of a sixth-generation aircraft, that is even more serious?

So here comes a problem, that is, the performance of the aircraft has improved, but the pilot can't keep up, what should I do?
This brings us back to another question, is the sixth-generation aircraft manned or unmanned?
Regarding this issue, different countries and different design teams naturally have different understandings. Some think that there should be no one, while others think that there must be people, and some think that the two modes can be compatible, and the cockpit can be reserved at the same time. When needed, the pilot boards, and when not needed, it is directly unmanned and controlled remotely.

But now, Chengfei Factory has basically formed a unified opinion on this problem that has troubled everyone for a long time, that is, to engage in drones.

Don't even need the cockpit, just get on the drone!

There are several advantages of drones. First, you don’t need to consider the training of pilots, and you can directly save a huge amount of money, which is enough to build another drone;
Second, removing the cockpit can leave more space to design other functions, such as increasing the fuel tank or increasing the volume of the magazine, which has many benefits;

Third, if there is no need for a cockpit, the design of the aircraft can make a bold breakthrough, because if there are people, no matter how short the pilot is, he still needs a space of about one meter when he sits down. Such a large space, For fighter jets where every inch of land is expensive, it still takes up a lot of space. Without the trouble of the cockpit, the design of the fighter jet can be unconstrained, and the stealth performance and maneuverability can be greatly improved. The final result is that the combat performance of the aircraft is once again soar!

Our army's sixth-generation aircraft is basically determined to be this way of thinking.

Therefore, for the sixth-generation aircraft in the future, the pilot is not in the cockpit of the fighter, but sits on the console on the ground, operating the sixth-generation aircraft just like operating a rainbow drone!

Well, this brings up another problem. The sixth-generation machine is so powerful that there is actually no need for the fifth-generation machine to exist.

The problems that the fifth-generation machines need to solve can be solved by the sixth-generation machines, and they can all do better.

The stealth performance of the sixth-generation aircraft is stronger, the maneuverability is better, and the combat range is wider. It can hit satellites and ground radars. It is omnipotent. Why is there any need for the fifth-generation aircraft?

Since the fifth-generation machine no longer needs to exist, is the fourth-generation machine still needed?Do fourth-generation machines still need to exist?Or more directly, are fighter pilots still needed?

The answer is yes!

It's just that the tasks of fighter pilots have changed drastically. Fighting the air is no longer the main responsibility, and fighting the ground and sea is the important goal!

In other words, in future air combat, the sixth-generation aircraft will be responsible for attacking important threats such as early warning aircraft and ground radars, cleaning up the space, and then the fourth-generation aircraft will join forces with ground forces to launch operations.

So, this brings up another question, how to train and train future pilots, how to fight future battles, and how to perform missions for future fighter pilots?

What plane do you use?
How to cooperate with ground forces?
The 404 Brigade took on this important task.

After thinking for a while, Fade Chen finally figured out one thing. There will only be two types of fighter jets in the future, one is a drone like the sixth-generation fighter, and the other is a drone like the J-[-].

Or to put it this way, in the 404th Brigade, the fighter jets in the future will be based on the J-[-].

He had thought about this question before, but he was not too sure, but now, when Yang Mei expressed his thoughts and thoughts one by one, Fade Chen finally affirmed this point!
Of course, the current J-404 definitely has shortcomings, and many aspects still need to be optimized, but in general, the fighters of the [-] brigade will be the J-[-] in the future!

Annihilating Sixteen?
Bomb the truck?
Fade Chen looked away and smiled faintly.
