I’m so bored, that I’m into speculation. How would the ideal light fighter look like today?

Requested Spec:
# air-to-air only
# two AAMs as only weaponry
# optional use as UCAV
# as small and light as possible, but with a combat radius of 1000nm
# t/o and landing from 1500ft max

Distiller’s Solution:
# a simple small delta planform, no stabilizers or moving parts at all, totally built from reinfoced plastics; the front part field-exchangeable as (i) manned capsule w/o an ejection seat, or (ii) UCAV with electronics package, or (iii) UCAV with weaponry package
# all conventional controls replaced by multi-axis impulse-nozzles and boundary-layer manipulation, maybe aeroelastic components on the outer tips
# landing gear made out of one-piece reinfoced plastics with defined elastic properties instead of heavy oleos
# horizontally split intake behind the front module (cockpit), one part on the belly (with louvres for rough-field ops like MiG29), the other on top
# single engine with 15000lb thrust, capable of supercruise, without an afterburner and with cold-flow thrust-vectoring
# Sensors/NavCom: small distributed radar array with active and passive mode, starring IIR & EO & UV sensors, SatCom
# Cockpit: no windows, the pilot almost lying, no real cockpit, just an for each pilot ergonomically perfected armored console, a synthetic spheric see-through picture from the starring-sensors displayed on the HMS and overlayed with tactical data, voice input. The pilot would see the world like he’s flying through the air naked. Ultimate situational and spatial awareness. In case he has to eject the whole frontal part of the delta seperates
# Weaponry: two AAMs 100-150kg in two bays
# Weights: empty 5500lb, MTOW about 12500lbs, payload 1000lbs, fuel 6000lbs
# Dimensions: length 40ft, span 25ft, height (fuselage) 9ft

> to be based in small units around the countryside, using motorways for take-off and landing
> could be used as towed (UCAV) parasites on larger plains like AWACS

I’d build a thousand of these and win every war in the air.
Comments from people equally bored?

hey man slut, sounds like you want one of these bug bigger

Notice this guy Hamburger gets very personal calling people idiot, etc. It shows he is extremely an insecure person, and most likely has a small penis. 😛

Hamburger, no matter how much you vent and insult people here, the JF17 is going forward, and will be inducted soon, and leave your pitiful LCA project behind. You can’t stop it. 😀

Indians must think if they type hard enough, the JF17 will go away. 😀

When did the LCA become my project :rolleyes: :confused:
If there is any kind of insecurity then your little nationalistic display of idiocy wins it hands down! It goes to show that one cannot accept the idea of criticizing an aircraft and not the country of origin 😉
as for my penis, would you like a picture? I’ll gladly send one to you but your parents might catch you licking the monitor they worked so hardly to buy for you little girls.

My country, called BiG DiK will smash these three puny countries in civil war, force them into one united entity despite their religious differences, however the north is still richer. And then eventually lose almost all of it to seperatist movements, but because I placed large numbers of my own people (lets call them lil dikkys) in each of my conquered states, they will end up having civil war and asking for the UN, Europe, or some one for some kind of help and I refuse to acknowledge their existence until the US bombs my bridge and train and I’m stuck with a loser subordinate state.

Yahoo you are all right, and were from the beggining :rolleyes:

Everyone stop arguing with him.

he he you made a funny. Everyone will agree with you here, he is recognized as an idiot by not only American posters, but Russian posters, American posters, Chinese posters, Pakistani posters and Indian posters.. you’ll never find such a unified agreement like that!

I especially love all these “it’s not out with a radar yet, but it’ll use this radar and because of it, it’ll definitely use that missile, that’s why it’s so superior to that Russian aircraft” 😀 Some one must took a course in Russian salesmanship.

Even if it didnt go through weapons testing, I don’t understand why you are so big on this matter, it going to get integrated sooner or later.

Given Russian history on projects, you’d be very lucky if anything gets done sooner or later :dev2:

So you don’t know the difference between Ukraine and US? Obviously a person of your intellectual capacity cannot comprehend this things who are in business of selling weopons and who are in foreign policy objectives. these are i think EP version.

Please, at least I have some intellectual capacity. Where is yours? destroyed after your last OD? :dev2: Remember that speculation does not mean fact, http://www.dictionary.com is your friend.

Now if you want a better example, you have Russian, French and Italian products on display, does that mean they’re all going to be bought? Such idiotic assumptions. :rolleyes:

this image of heavier AA-10 presumably for FC-1. so this theory doesnot hold that heavier BVR cannot be carried by lighter fighters.

What brilliant logic, because a missile is displayed, you automatically assume that it is meant for that aircraft. By that logic, F-16 models displayed in India means that India will get the F-16.. bravo!! :rolleyes:

And so Kids, that’s why you should not use drugs.. a hyuk!.
