Mach 3 without engines? Straight down then. 🙂

AWACs aircraft require lots of power, cooling, carry large radar arrays with the associated drag and now they have to carry aircraft with all the associated systems and have to be pressurized to operate at 111,000ft!

Your solar powered aircraft are interesting and innovative but you are well and truly in the realms of fantasy now.

Right I have no glue about operating an AWX.

Rob, look up the Missileer concept. Never went very far.

Topspeed,

While I can only applaud thinking outside the box, this is nonsense.

IF you need fighters to defend your AEW plane, you did something wrong. That plane should be far behind, and protected by other means. I think we could safely say that an E-3 over the Channel can see as far as the Med.
AEW systems are not low cost, small nation hardware.
Your light fighters are probably well suited for light attack / asymetric warfare. Not as interceptors. An interceptor needs a lot of power to be able to catch the bad guys as far as possible out. Or your high value assets (in this case the AEW plane) will be destroyed. Who cares about stealthy ? Being visible could end up in a soft kill, of the aggressor aborts the mission. Plus, the AEW plane is not stealthy.
And last question. What happens to the interceptor and its pilot once he’s done with the mission? It surely does not have the range to land at home, and hooking to a mothership, well, look up what happened to parasite fighters before.
Sorry, but you make no sense.

From 34 km the fighter can attack enemy at supersonic speed ( mach 3 max ) and reach an airstrip in Finland…without using the engines at all. As long as the mother ship flys above Finland.

You seem to be dwelling in the past – in the 19th and 20th centuries, which have little or no relevance to our lives in 2014. I doubt that a government which based its defence policy, planning and expenditure on what happened a century ago would have much credence with its citizens.

Future can only be forecasted by looking at the past. If we buy multibillion stealth fighters..it alone can cause a trouble for the sovereignity in current economical situation.

And one of the darkest ,longest winter and shortest in daylight hours and i believe has a high suicide rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate ,looking at this ,the Eastern European/Scandinavian countries seem to top the list.
.

I had no idea China, Sri-Lanka, Guyana, Slovenia, Russia, Japan and Belgium are the dark Nordic countries.

Ah, now we are getting somewhere. All of these concepts are to protect your country, which I thought was neutral, anyway.

You tought right..is it less important to protect a neutral country ?

Getting in the air in the first place would be the main one.

This is just a minor monetary problem.

I hope you get it to work 🙂 i look forward to seeing some photos of it in production.

I hope so too…as a passenger/cargo version….:: )

You’re talking about aircraft that would never get a CS-23/25 certification as a passenger aircraft.

I did a bit of a Google and the nearest 36 seat airliner I could find was a SAAB 340. It uses 2 1300kW engines to fly not very fast and not very high but reasonably efficiently. That’s 76kW per passenger.
It needs that sort of power to get airborne in a reasonable distance, climb to a reasonable height and fly 34 people to their destination. Your aircraft has 5% of the power so can you tell me it would be able to accelerate to a reasonable take-off speed in around 5000ft, climb to 25000ft and carry its passengers in air conditioned comfort at 0.5M for a couple of hours.
In addition it has to power the air conditioning, the pressurization, the hydraulics, electrics, anti-icing etc. etc. All from a total of 160kW?

I would not worry about the certification since the craft has 40 km/h stall speed. This has never been seen before and rules would have to be renewed.

The solar alone version is slow…but battery assisted can go high…and if flying from east to west can go a long way.
