1st Video introperson tells it had no problems at Mach 0.8-0.9..used only 60% power to go mach 0.85.

Secret Agenda ?

No secret agenda…( if not downsizing is a secret ) !

This is a 7th generation jet interceptor.

I figure by 2040 there is paractically no oil left.

At present a J-20 burns 90 000 liter / hr at full AB ( SFC 2.0 ).

A regular bio fuel plant produces around 10 000 000 liters a year. This is comsumed by a J-20 and alike in 100-150 AB hours.

For Finland sized country this V-raptor could still be used in 65 copies and yet be flown at 500 hrs annually each with one biofuel factorys annual capacity.

I am thinking into the future.

Thanks for asking.

:rolleyes:

PS: …and yes done a lot of planning since I will make flying R/C copy soon…I wanna be sure it is right at the first try. Furthermore I don’t want anyone to call MAYDAY; ” Disintegrating….”, like someone called on BD-10. Mach 1 is a brickwall.

RCS

This could also be made into a sales article while it carries an AESA radar and a cannon + 4 concealed AAMs.

Anyone interested ?

5.2 x smaller than a J.20 it has 1/5.2^2=1/27 just one twenty seventh RCS…am I right..if othervise stealth design done correctly..or more if even better made.

There is another issue with the Super light fighter that you are merrily inventing here topspeed. You gave a nice long list of potential conflicts where this super cheap fighter would be ideal but fail to notice the elephant in the room: what happens when one side says “hang it all” and buys a more capable fighter!

Have a look at the Eritrean-Etheopian War if you are curious… two third world nations end up fielding the Su-27! Ethiopia a country made famous when an Irishman organised a pop concert to help feed their population in a famine went from operating a light fighter like the F-5 to operating a large twin engine long range air superiority fighter.

Hi Fedaykin !

First of all I did not make that list of the conflicts..someone else did.

I corrected the P.1078C pic above.

It is very much possible that no one is interested about plane this small and cheap.

PS: I would not choose anything but this..since this misses only two IR missiles..and able to carry em outside.
