I will give you a riddle, why if F-22 has 34% of its structure made of composites, compared to the 50% aluminium made F-15 that only has 2% of its structure of composites, why the F-15 Eagle at empty weight weighs 13 tonnes like F-35, and F-22 weighs 19.8 tonnes, Why?

Due to reasons you can't possibly know since:
  1. You're not an engineer
  2. You're not involved in the F-15 project
  3. You're not involved in the F-22 project

1. That's not a riddle; that's a stupid question.
2. F-22 is 24% composite, not 34. F-15 is 37% aluminum, not 50. Why do you keep making up numbrs even when they are known??
3. I already told you and I don't want to tell you the same damn things over and over again. F-22 has additional things that no F-15 has. It has internal bays; it has rectangular stealth TVC; it has heavier engines; it has a coat of RAM that may weigh a few tons. It probably has many other things too that I don't know for sure which add weight. How heavy is its LPI radar compared to F-15's?
4. And also, aluminum is extremely light, lighter than titanium in case you don't know. So if you were to build a jet with it and with your engineering prowess, found a way to extensively use aluminum to sub it for a comparable volume of titanium without structural faults developing, that makes for a very light jet.

You've already been kicked off the J-20 thread for trolling. I don't want to have this off-topic garbage with you here on J-31 thread either.

uhmmm so you Chinese camarades are wrong
Analysis of the influence of advanced materials for aerospace products R&D and manufacturing cost A W Shen1 , J L Guo and Z J Wang Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering College, Air Force Engineering University, Xi’an, 710038, China E-mail: [email protected]


For example [3], the American fifth-generation fighter F/A-22, the world's most advanced aircraft, uses composite materials in the most important parts of the fuselage, wings, and tail. In fact, titanium alloy makes up 40% of the total weight of this military aircraft, and composite materials make up 34%. Among civilian aircraft, composite materials make up more than 40% of the total weight of the European Airbus Company’s A380, the world's largest airliner

Yes, maybe they are wrong; but maybe my source is wrong... Not sure. My information (F-22 39% ti, 24% comp) is from here:

You being a hater has no connection to this paper.

Main point: You asked me why F-15 is so much lighter than F-22. Did you like that answer? Or did you not like it and want to move the focus to some detail of F-22 composite 24% vs 34%.

The F-22 bucks the trend toward the use of composite materials. Only 35 percent of the bare airframe is composite, although the designers had expected to use

for F-15
The gradual penetration of composites can be easily seen on the teen-series fighters.

  • Grumman F-14 - boron/epoxy vertical fins.
  • McDonnell Douglas F-15 - 1.2 per cent composites: Fins, stabilators, rudders - boron/epoxy, speedbrakes - graphite/epoxy.
  • GD F-16 - 2.7 per cent composites.
  • MDC F-18 - 10 per cent graphite/epoxy composites: Wing skins, trailing edges, flaps, speedbrake, stabilators, vertical tails, rudders, covers and access doors. (Pic 3).

Independently it is 24% or 34% the F-15 is only 1.2%.; however the cheer leaders, can not see, F-22 is more composites, more titanium, but it weighs 6 tons more than F-15, why? cheerleaders do not see internal structure is different would the F-22 being made of only aluminium as F-15 it would weight close to 26 tons empty weight, why? simply larger cross section due to weapons bays, S ducts and larger wings, plus 2D nozzle.

J-20 would be made of traditional methods, very likely would weight too 26-27 tons empty weight, so a 25% percent would be around 20 tonnes, but of course cheer leader #1 says 15 tonnes as an F-35 empty weight for J-20 and 10 tons for J-31

Yes, I know. I won't have any meaningful conversation with you since you only make up numbers and ignore reason. I told you not to compared 4th and 5th gen fighters, didn't I? Why don't you bring Me-262 into this while you're at it? LOL

I'll play with you the same number making game you like so much, ok?

J-20 is 26-27 tons. cool. Su-57 is 54.453-56.321 tons. F-22 is 43.562 tons. With Russia's most advanced weight reduction methods, they can probably get Su-57 to about 64.322 tons but only if Putin does the welding himself. Fair?

Fun, cheerleader troll? I can play Drunk Russian Numbers with you all day LOL

ah the cheer leader did not read, well common on cheer leaders did you read when in this source


the designers nevertheless reached their weight goal -25% lighter than an all aluminium airframe - by using lot of aluminium, which makes up 41% of airframe weight

;)

a detail cheer leader #1 forgot


By using composites the F-22 reduced 25% weight, so tell me how much it will weight if it did not use composites and it was made of aluminium, give me a J, gime me a 31, F-22 currently weighs 19.8 tons ;) and F-15 has a lower titanium composition, if F-22 used less composites and titanium it would likely weight around 23-24 tonnes minimun

Desperate troll rants with drunken Russian math are not worth reading :p

F-22? 19.8 tones to 23-24 tons using conventional construction? Nahhh by my calculations it's more like 42.456 tons.

Got more crazy numbers for you, though this one's a lil too close to the truth. 1,435,235: Russia's GDP... in Japanese yen LOL

PS. I can't help but notice that in your endless sea of incompetence, you mixed up the figures for titanium with aluminum. Very impressive; big surprise:rolleyes:
