Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 407 [The entire internet is exploding, are they really not going to act anymore?]

As soon as Xiao Yu posted this Weibo, it immediately caused a stir among military enthusiasts and quickly became a trending topic.

This revelation is quite explosive, and the key is that it's authentic.

Since Xiao Yu himself posted the news on Weibo, it can't be fake. In fact, even the serial number has been set: Y-50 transport aircraft.

Everyone thought it was another brand-new sixth-generation fighter jet, but wow, it turns out to be a new generation of strategic long-range transport aircraft.

To the shock of military enthusiasts, Xiao Yu revealed on Weibo that the Y-50 transport aircraft actually possesses supersonic penetration capabilities.

It's important to know that all military transport aircraft currently in service are subsonic.

No wonder its aerodynamic layout resembles that of a fighter jet, and the tailless design clearly gives it a strong stealth capability.

It turns out this is a transport plane among fighter jets! This is even more outrageous than bringing naval guns ashore. Many military enthusiasts are saying that this is a good idea. If naval guns can be brought ashore, then turning transport planes into fighter jets is quite reasonable.

Just as everyone was discussing it, Xiao Yu posted another Weibo post half an hour later, which was a parameter chart about the "Yun-50" transport aircraft.

【Size and Weight】

• Length: 96.33 meters

Wingspan: 105 meters

• Height: 22.42 meters

Maximum takeoff weight: 1295 tons

[Load Capacity and Cargo Hold]

Maximum load capacity: 495 tons

• Cargo hold volume: 57 meters long × 8.25 meters high × 6.32 meters wide.

[Mobility Performance]

Maximum service ceiling: 3 meters
• Flight speed: Mach 2.5 supersonic cruise and Mach 4 short-term penetration capability.

[Range and Power]

• Maximum range: The maximum range is 2 kilometers when fully loaded and 2.7 kilometers when unloaded.

• Powertrain: Equipped with four all-electric drive engines, each with a thrust of up to 65 tons, for a total thrust of 260 tons.

Other features

• It has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and does not require a runway for takeoff and landing.

• Tailless launch configuration; the Lambda wing design integrates forward-swept and backward-swept wing designs, coupled with all-moving wingtip technology, giving it stealth capabilities comparable to fighter jets. …

When Xiao Yu released this parameter chart, everyone was stunned by the data.

The chart quickly went viral online, causing a stir among military enthusiasts who found it both incredible and exciting.

[Holy crap! Is this for real?]
[This isn't a picture circulating online; it was released by Brother Xiao himself. Isn't that authoritative enough?]
[Wait a minute? This can be publicly exposed like this? They're not even pretending anymore? They're not even acting anymore?]
[Is this the Y-50 transport aircraft? Its performance parameters are absolutely phenomenal.]
[It's just a numerical anomaly, it's definitely one of them.]
[Given these dimensions, it's even larger than the An-225; the Y-20 transport aircraft looks tiny! Wow!!]
[To be honest, Chinese military enthusiasts have been having a really good time these past few years. J-16, J-20, J-36, and now the Y-50—each one more powerful than the last.]
[Designing a strategic transport aircraft like a stealth fighter is even more revolutionary than deploying naval guns ashore, but I like it.]
[Am I getting arrogant? I'm starting to feel like even Ah Mei Li Ka looks like a cheapskate now. There's no one in the world who can fight us. I feel like we could take on the whole world by ourselves... (facepalm.jpg)]
[The export version of the J-10, which can only fit a child at home, recently thrashed the French Rafale. Be confident, don't embarrass yourself... (husky.jpg)]
[Here's a joke: how did European and American media hype up the Rafale in the past? They called it a fourth-generation fighter with some kind of cutting-edge technology, but its actual strength was only that of a fourth-generation-plus fighter, and it could fight as well as a fifth-generation fighter. Then they went on to criticize our J-10, saying that it hadn't seen any actual combat and that its performance was all hype.]

This time, they finally had a real-world test, and the Rafale fighter jet, touted as having cutting-edge fourth-generation technology but whose actual strength rivals that of fifth-generation fighters, was utterly defeated 3-0 by our third-generation "Ten Boys" right from the start. [Happy!]
[Now we have to call him "Tenth Master"... (manual sarcasm)]
[Fazi: Oh no, oh no! I never expected my kid to be the lead in this movie! I was just sitting there happily watching the show, how stupid of me!]
[Ha ha ha ha……]
[Speaking of which, are the performance parameters of the Y-50 transport aircraft reliable, given how incredible they seem?]
[This was brought out by Brother Xiao, so it's definitely reliable. Don't forget that the J-36 fighter-bomber is a masterpiece from AVIC Linfei, and now AVIC Linfei is also involved in the Y-50 transport aircraft project.]
……

Xiao Yu's Weibo post quickly went viral, trending on social media. People were discussing and sharing the chart he published, and the topic of the "Yun-50" transport aircraft became a hot topic online.

Whether they are civilian military enthusiasts, military bloggers, or experts.

The parameters and performance table of the Y-50 transport aircraft released by Xiao Yu are extremely impressive.

Xiao Yu wasn't particularly excited about these performance parameters. After all, he had seen things on Earth that were hundreds of times more powerful than these, so he remained completely calm about it.

However, people from all walks of life are not calm about this, because the parameters and performance of the Y-50 transport aircraft are like an anomaly in the world today, leading the world by a huge margin.

Similar to the recently acclaimed J-10CE, if the Y-50 transport aircraft were placed on Earth, it would be like the J-10CE in China – only able to sit at the children's table or even not be able to sit at the table. However, if the Y-50 were placed on Earth, it would be like the J-10CE on the other side of the world – a "scumbag" that could easily beat the Rafale.

The performance data of the Y-50 transport aircraft is truly phenomenal.

Mach 2.5 supersonic cruise means that it can fly from the eastern coastal areas of China to the UK in three hours, while Mach 4 short-term penetration speed basically breaks through the interception window of all active air defense systems, and even the speed of most types of air-to-air missiles cannot catch up.

This means that the Y-50 transport aircraft can easily penetrate the enemy's air defense network like a bomber, and can deliver nearly 500 tons of munitions or weapons.

As a strategic long-range heavy transport aircraft, its maximum service ceiling of 3 meters is quite astonishing. Not to mention other transport aircraft, even all current fighter jets, except for the J-36 fighter jet, are far behind.

Such an astonishing service ceiling allows the Y-50 transport aircraft to cruise in the stratosphere, completely avoiding the range of conventional surface-to-air missiles.

The perfect integration of forward-swept and backward-swept wings, combined with all-moving wingtip technology, makes even a behemoth like the Y-50 transport aircraft have a smaller radar cross-section than the F-22 fighter jet from Armenia.

This is not an exaggeration at all, because the Y-50 transport aircraft uses the same stealth technology system as the J-36 fighter jet. The aerodynamic layout of this transport aircraft is designed according to the concept of fighter jets, so the stealth technology can be inherited.

而J-36战斗机的雷达反射面仅为0.0005平方米，是F-22战斗机的1/200，到了“运-50”运输机的雷达反射面积仅为0.001平方米，是F-22战斗机1/100。

In fact, the stealth capabilities of America's F-22 fighter jet are not bad either. As long as it is not compared with the top-tier fighters of the major Eastern powers, it is still very impressive.

But as the saying goes, it's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you're afraid of comparing them.

Compared to aircraft like the J-20 or J-36 from the major Eastern power, the gap becomes apparent; it's really not that great.
