Chapter 61 Fourth Generation Nuclear Fusion Aircraft Carrier
  "Since the birth of fifth-generation aircraft, weapons have been mounted only in the weapon bays inside the fuselage!"

"Whether it is Lao Mi's F-22A or F-35 series, or the J-20 currently in service in the Chinese Air Force, almost all of them have a problem."

That is in order to pursue stealth capabilities, they can basically only carry air-to-air missiles or air-to-surface missiles through the belly bomb bay!
  Almost all the military generals present knew one important point.

That is, in this case, the stealth fighter does not have the ability to carry out combat missions with external missiles!

Unless the most advantageous invisibility is abandoned!
  But like that...

An expensive fifth-generation aircraft is almost the same as a fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter jet without stealth capabilities.

undoubtedly,

External missiles are quite worthless for fifth-generation aircraft, even if fifth-generation aircraft in modern countries have extremely strong missile external capabilities.

Zhang Jianguo said: "As you are thinking now, the consensus in the design of fighter jets from all over the world is that fifth-generation aircraft can only carry air-to-air missiles in the belly. Only in this way can they maximize their stealth performance during combat missions."

That is to say, the bomb bay can only be opened when the missile needs to be launched.

Although the stealth appearance is slightly damaged during the period of opening the bomb bay.

But this is already close to the limit of current human aviation technology.

However, the shortcomings were directly exposed.

"Not to mention that the range of conventional air-to-air missiles is far inferior to that of cruise missiles, and the inability to attach more missile weapons makes it difficult for fifth-generation aircraft to assume a sustained combat role." Wang Shenlan pointed out the shortcomings with almost bloodshed.

When he came to the air force base this time, in addition to coming to study as required by his superiors, another top priority was to reach strategic deployment with the Southeast Air Force Theater.

All fifth-generation aircraft in the Air Force theater will be deployed on the latest fourth-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Currently, only Wang Shenlan, the top general of the navy, knows this news.

"It seems that fifth-generation aircraft may only be able to play a cruise and search role."

"No, no, that was before."

Zhang Jianguo had a profound meaning at this time.

"Since you are here this time, I have to let you take a good look at the latest stealth missile developed by our air force."

In Wang Shenlan's expectation, Zhang Jianguo took them into an extremely heavily guarded research area.

Here, a large group of technicians are debugging data on a missile in the center.

"This is a stealth air-launched cruise missile."

"An aerial dispenser that could also be developed into a Storm Shadow-like cruise missile."

When Zhang Jianguo introduced it, Wang's deep blue eyes were obviously hard to take away from it.

The warhead has an obvious shape, cutting potatoes like the 055 naval gun.

"I guess this is a stealth design, which can reduce the probability of the missile being detected and intercepted by the enemy during flight?" Wang Shenlan said.

Zhang Jianguo nodded and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, one of the key points in the design of stealth missiles is to make the cross-section of the missile body square, as flat as possible, and replace the original round cross-section with an inclined flat plate combination."

"Coupled with the large swept wing, wing-body fusion, and V-shaped tail, everything that can be arranged can be arranged to eliminate the corner reflector effect existing between the missile body, missile wing, and horizontal tail."

As Zhang Jianguo said, judging from the appearance of the cruise missile, it fully conforms to these stealth design features.

"Of course, this is just physical stealth," Zhang Jianguo led Wang Shenlan to inspect the experimental process in the material area, "As a stealth missile, it can be made of wave-absorbing and wave-transmitting materials like stealth fighter jets. "

"Even coated with ferrite paint, a broad-band wave-absorbing structural material based on carbon resistors with high resistivity and low conductivity can convert the energy of incident radar waves into heat, thereby achieving target detection on enemy radars. Invisible.”

Of course, all this is ultimately inseparable from the combined research of watercolor paint produced by Dafa Toy Factory. Wang Shenlan no longer knows how to describe his current mood: "This is a huge breakthrough. You must know that the existing bomb bay of the fifth-generation aircraft is not large, and when paired with air-to-air missiles, the bomb load drops sharply. .”

“就比如F-22A只能通过中置机腹弹舱携带6枚AIM-120D，侧置格斗弹舱各携带1枚AIM-9X。”

"There is a huge difference in the amount of bombs loaded when the missile is external and when it is built-in."

"Now that we are developing stealth air-to-air missiles, we can theoretically increase the bomb load!"

"According to the configuration of the fifth-generation aircraft, at least 14 additional air-to-air missiles and two air-launched cruise missiles can be mounted!"

If this can be applied, then the future fifth-generation aircraft will definitely be a killer in the air.

However, Zhang Jianguo said: "At present, it is almost possible to mount cruise missiles, but air-to-air missiles still need some time to study."

Wang Shenlan seemed to remember at this moment that he had overlooked some important points.

That is, not all missiles can be designed to be stealthy.

Zhang Jianguo said: "For example, individual missiles and anti-tank missiles are small in size and have little detection ability on the target being attacked, so there is no need to be stealthy."

"Air-to-air missiles and surface-to-air missiles fly fast and require relatively high maneuverability, and their overloads often have dozens of G's."

"Slight changes in appearance can affect the whole body, so it is not easy to modify the missile's stealth shape."

He paused and continued: "As for ballistic missiles, they fly very fast, and no stealth coating can withstand the high temperature brought by such a high Mach."

"And like air-to-air missiles, the main signal of ballistic missiles is thermal radiation. There is no point in radar stealth. In front of X-band early warning radar and OTH over-the-horizon radar, traditional stealth is not very effective, so the only way to achieve stealth is The designed ammunition is cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, aviation dispensers and standoff strike weapons."

Wang Shenlan was stunned.

What do you mean...that's all?

Whenever a fifth-generation aircraft is equipped with these missiles, it will be a fully deterrent fighter when used on an aircraft carrier.

You must know that before the problem of missile stealth is solved, fifth-generation aircraft cannot even mount long-range air-to-air missiles, let alone huge air-to-ground missiles.

Therefore, its role is limited to positioning, reconnaissance and seizing air supremacy.

As for ground attacks and sea attacks, because they need to carry heavy ground and sea weapons, fifth-generation aircraft are not competent and can only be completed by some fighter-bombers.

But now, the fifth-generation aircraft is about to become an integrated reconnaissance, combat and strike fighter.

Even... just relying on this, major countries can claim to the outside world that they have developed sixth-generation aircraft.

After all, it is these problems that the next six generations of machines will solve.

Zhang Jianguo seemed not to be surprised by the shock of the people in front of him. After all, before this, he himself had been in shock for several days while looking at the results and strategic plans for the fifth-generation aircraft produced by the technicians.

Therefore, Zhang Jianguo only gave a hint of Versailles: "Actually, compared to stealth-designed cruise missiles and air-to-sea missiles, the main push of our Southeast Air Force Base is to develop some small cruise missiles similar to JSM as soon as possible."

"It can be stuffed into the internal bomb bays of the J-20 and 'Loyal Wingman', giving full play to the powerful combination of stealth fighters and stealth missiles, upgrading the propellant, making the missiles smaller and having a longer range. The precision should be made more accurate, and the power should be made greater..."

Wang Shenlan didn't seem to hear clearly what Zhang Jianguo was saying, and could only see the other person's mouth moving non-stop.

For a long time, Wang Shenlan and several generals behind him wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

Wang Shenlan swallowed: "If I could, I would like to transfer to the Air Force." I'm so envious and jealous!

Zhang Jianguo smiled: "Looking at what you said, I also wanted to join your navy. If I'm right, the fourth-generation aircraft carrier will officially enter service in your theater, right?"
