still only looks vertical. This and j50 needs their nozzles to be able to swivel horizontally
Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread

FSS was not a well developed technique at the time of f-117's development and even then the FSS would have to allow for quite broad x band frequencies to pass through. There are quite a few RAS techniques that went into developing a stealthy radar from RCS standpoint.
The proposal for Seahawks came out in 1993, way after the b-2 had figured out how to get a radar onboard. Btw, isn't b-2 also a drop a bomb and get out aircraft that strangely featured a radar *eyes roll*
Huh? No one was arguing for an invincible tactic. What's the purpose of this side note?
That's pathetic. You attacked the idea of the J-36 using its side array to provide situational awareness to friendly fighters by claiming, falsely, that fighters do not use their radars for scanning. This is absurd. As I explained, while it is a good idea for many or even most of the fighters in a formation to stay radio silent, someone has to emit to get situational awareness from the RF spectrum. Close to China's shores, that someone can be KJ-500 or a ship or land based radars. Further away and you need a stealthy aircraft that stays survivable when emitting. That's the role of the J-36.
Your point is wrong. You don't know what you are talking about.
Easily. Suppose you have a 1*1m X band radar with a peak power of 100kW. Your target is -30dbsm. Let's say your scanner aircraft is 30km behind the front line of radio silent shooters. At 70km (approximately the range of an AMRAAM from a subsonic launcher) the radar return signal is 9.24*10^-6W and at 100km the radar return signal is 2.22*10^-7W. That's a 5 fold difference.
Because IR emission for a Lambertian surface is proportional to projection area and the fourth power of temperature. The engine exhaust have much higher temperature than the rest of the plane and thus much higher IR emission. But if it is hidden, from a projection area point of view the J-36's side is pretty similar to the front.
CCA was 3m a pop expendable. Most recently it has become 30m non-expendable, aiming at 1000 pieces.
The US has many islands, CCA was supposed to be hidden on these islands with little supporting infrastructure.
Commander of the 412th Test Wing at Edwards AFB,Brig. Gen. Douglas P. Wickert is talking about two 6th gen fighter,
"the pundits are calling it JH-36", he said
I wounder was he debrifed in such a name? Is this a consensus within the U.S. military now?
Looks like they didn’t in fact learn to stop understanding and take China more seriously.
They are supposed to be the 'pundits', not some random PLA watchers on internet
Yankeesama did mention that the “Soviets” will first think that it is an F-111B before finding out that it is actually an F-14.
Be careful of what you wish for.
