U.S. Navy begins development of new aircraft to replace F / A-18E / F Super Hornet

The US Navy ordered the development of a new carrier-based aircraft aviation, which in the future will replace the Boeing F / A-18E / F Super Hornet. According to the American media, the new aircraft will be developed under the NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) program already launched by the US Navy.

It is stated that the program provides for the creation of a completely new aircraft, and not an improvement in existing models, despite the fact that for fleet it is proposed to combine the designs of the fifth generation fighter F-35 and F / A-18 with modern technologies to create future aircraft. At the same time, it is specified that the design will take into account the capabilities of the F-35C, but in the new aircraft all the shortcomings inherent in fifth generation fighters must be eliminated.

The US Navy plans that the new aircraft will significantly expand the coverage of aircraft carriers. It is already known that the new vehicle must have a combat radius of at least 1000 nautical miles. It is possible that the aircraft will be produced in single and double versions, although an unmanned version is also possible. Other details have not yet been reported.

The fleet command plans to take the aircraft into service in the early 2030s, as carrier-based F / A ‑ 18E / F Super Hornets will begin to withdraw from the Navy just at this time.

The program for creating a new carrier-based fighter in the United States has been announced for a long time. In December last year, the US Congress limited the allocation of funds for a promising aircraft. However, the US Navy hopes that as part of the reduction in the allocated funds for the F / A-18E / F Super Hornet program, the money saved will be redirected to the new aircraft.

This wing is simple, but there is a mixture of wing and integral layout. And this is a fighter with normal maneuverability.

[vitinka]

Is this an admission that f 35 B and C are all wrong and can be considered a cut?

[Bad_gr]

Quote: vitinka

This is an admission that f 35 B and C alliaki are not suitable

One of the requirements for the new aircraft: a combat radius of 1000 nautical miles (1 km). So with a flight range of at least 853 km.
By the way,
The F-35 has a combat radius without PTB and mid-air refueling:
F35A-----F35B------F35C
1080 km - 865 km --- 1140 km
Boeing F / A-18E / F Super Hornet
Combat radius: 726 km
Combat range: 2346 km (Without PTB, with 2 × AIM-9) [5]

In other words, with a bomb load comparable to the F-35, the fuel in such an aircraft should be at least three times more. I think it will be the size of a Super Hornet (all the more, taking into account the stealth technology, all weapons must be hidden inside the aircraft), and weighing 30 tons.

[eklmn]

“I think it will be bigger than a Super Hornet (all the more, taking into account the stealth technology, all the weapons should be hidden inside the aircraft), and weighing 30 tons.”
You think absolutely correctly. In general, there is nothing about the new aircraft in the article, although there is a lot of information.
“From the outset, the F-35 was tied to designs that made sense in a time of lack of competition, such as relatively short range, low supersonic speeds and a small internal weapon bay. If the Pentagon knew in the mid-1990s what it does today, it might have asked for a completely different plane.
Because Since 2020, the Pentagon will cut $$$ by 5%, then the Navy cannot develop from scratch, it is expensive, so they take the F-35 airframe as a basis and increase it. The aircraft will have 2 engines (already under development).
“The new adaptive cycle engine, currently under development, adds a third stream to the existing afterburner turbofan engine design, allowing the pilot to optimize the engine for high performance or long range. General Electric, which is developing an adaptive cycle engine for the F-35, believes the new engine will increase the aircraft's range by 50%. "
“Partial redesign of the aircraft's fuselage could increase the F-35's fuel capacity, allowing the new aircraft to meet its target of 50 percent longer range. Upgrading the avionics, computer system, and perhaps even the F-35's onboard laser weapons would complete what might ultimately be called the F-35D. ”

Quote: eklmn

From the very beginning, the F-35 was tied to design decisions that made sense during the period lack of competitionsuch as relatively short range, low supersonic speed and a small internal weapons bay. If the Pentagon knew in the mid-1990s what it does today, it might have asked for a completely different plane.

I wrote about this here and on other resources 20 times. The Fu35 was conceptually made with the expectation that it would be the only modern fighter after the 2010s.
And behind all the words of the defenders of Fu35 there is an obvious fact - the US Navy has officially refused to replace all its aircraft with Fu35. - as intended ... And they want another aircraft altogether as the main carrier-based multifunctional fighter.

[eklmn]

"The US Navy has officially refused to replace all its aircraft with Fu35 laughing - as intended."
You absolutely did not understand the situation with either the F-18 or the F-35. The navy, as ordered, will order the F-35, but the two-seater F-2 Grouler still serve on the aircraft carriers - very powerful, for electronic warfare. So these are the F-18s of the Navy and wants to be replaced by 18. But since In Russia and China, the Su-2030 and J-57 appeared, then the US Navy wants an aircraft like that of the enemy.
And if the US Navy ever builds a new "F-35D" (engines for it have already been developed), then it will be a completely different animal.

[Private-K]

I just understood the situation correctly.
Of course, the US Navy is forced to purchase new Fu35 and in the future - due to the deterioration of the existing fleet. Of course, the Fu35 will remain on the decks of American aircraft carriers for a long time.
But this is not from a good life, but "it happened." There is nothing else, but you have to fly on it.

The fact of the matter is that the Americans did not expect the appearance of a new generation of fighters from the Russian Federation and China! This is the point! They believed that everything would end with the modernized Su-27 / Su-30. But already the Su-35 is knocking ahead, and the appearance of the Su-57, Jay-20, etc., as well as the dramatic improvement of the air defense system and the saturation of the troops with new air defense systems puts an end to the prospects of the already terribly buggy Fu35.

the Americans planned to completely replace the entire fleet, incl. and carrier-based aviation by Fu35 aircraft. But they refuse it. Then the VVSniki will beg for themselves a "fat reketovoz" on the basis of the F-15, and now the dealers generally want completely different car than Fu35 - we tried Fu35, compared it with what they have, with what the pr-ka has, thought what would happen ... Nah, give us a completely different car, a completely different concept than Fu35. Shit!
It won't be long before we learn that the Air Force will also want to receive from the 2020s something completely different from the "plane of the end of the history of the Fu35".

[Zaurbek]

This means that they finish with F35 and the team begins to design further, the next - the 6th generation.

[eklmn]

“This means that the F35 ends and the team starts to design further, the next - the 6th generation.”
Nobody finishes with the F-35, the article is kind of stupid. The US Navy wants to replace its F-18s with aircraft of the same performance characteristics or better. There is no money to build from scratch, and there will not be, but to change the F-35 airframe by making it with 2 improved engines - you can, there is money. And GE already has the engine.

[Zaurbek]

You do not understand ... we finished the design, passed it to the series ... and went on

[eklmn]

Thank you, you're right.
The new adaptive engine will have:
50% longer airborne time
range will increase by 30%
25% reduction in fuel consumption
60% improved heat absorption, which allows you to diversify weapons.
And here's a cartoon of how it works:

https://youtu.be/T3eudKVbdG0?t=166

[figwam]

the design will take into account the capabilities of the F-35C, but in the new aircraft all the shortcomings inherent in fifth-generation fighters must be eliminated.

Yes, this is another confirmation that billions have been wasted, the F-35 is a failure of the program - a single strike fighter.

Indeed, while next-generation fighter "would include many of the capabilities" as the Navy's current fleet of F-35C fighters, the aircraft will come "with updated technology and expanded range," naval analyst Bryan Clark told USNI News, part of an effort to expand the effectiveness of the US fleet of aircraft carriers at sea.

The idea of ​​just continuing to build new manned aircraft with longer range to try to overcome the ability of China, Iran or even Russia to fire long-range missiles at the carrier is kind of a losing game because missiles are cheap, ”he said. - Airplanes are expensive. So you are in a bad cost sharing situation. ”

Combining a manned fighter jet with unmanned systems could help the service deal with this problem.

“This could be a way to get around this exchange of value problem, where maybe the plane doesn't need to fly that far,” Clark said.
“You know, an airplane can fly a thousand miles, and it doesn't matter if the enemy has an anti-ship ballistic missile two thousand miles long, because your manned airplane won't fly all that distance. He's going to stop for a thousand miles, and then these unmanned systems will do the rest. "

Don't you find that the use of epithets in relation to aircraft from the “other side”, by default, calls into question your objectivity?
In addition: the F-15 has a max overload of 8,5g, the MiG-31 -5g - they are not "pregnant". F-35A - 9g, and it became a "mattress"? Strange logic.

Overload does not determine maneuverability in any way. Don't confuse warm with soft! And to this, what do you say - F-35V -7,5 g, F-35S - 7,5 g. In short, the F-35 is not a plane and is not of the 5th generation. F-35 was pregnant, and will remain pregnant.

[3danimal]

And the F-35A didn't fly, is it?
Version B has a complex layout (mechanisms for air handling units), which causes a lower Max overload. I am sure that for the Yak-141, the indicators would also be lower than for the MiG-29 and Su-27.
In version C, I think the data on the wiki is incorrect. I see no reason for this. The latest models of the F-15 9g may have a limitation on the development time of squadrons on AB.
In addition, there are reviews of pilots who flew the F-35A. It falls short of the nimble F-16 in a horizontal maneuver (but here the 16th and the Su-30 will do without OVT, only the MiG-29/35 can be compared), but comparable to the F-18, which is also quite good. And the thrust-to-weight ratio is good. With 50% fuel and weapons for air combat 1,07, against 1 in our Su-30.

In my statement, the Su-30 is the general name of the aircraft, and you mean the Su-30M2.
In service with Russia:
* Russian Air Force - 91 units Su-30SM и 20 units Su-30M2 for 2020[51].
* Aviation of the Russian Navy - 22 units Su-30SM for 2020[52].
The Su-30MK2 aircraft is not purchased by the RF Ministry of Defense, which means it is not produced a priori, which means my expression is completely correct. Currently, only the Su-30SM with the AL-31FP engine (with UVT) is being purchased - (the common name of all modifications of the Su-30) - a priori the Su-30 has an engine with the UVT (AL-31FP) at the present time.

[Professor]

The US Department of Defense has ordered 78 F-35 fighters for $ 4,7 billion ($ 60kk / plane).

Boeing lands the first order of the F-15EX

Each jet is designed to have a unit flyaway cost of $ 87.7 million.
Is it noticeable now?

Boeing lands the first order of the F-15EX

Boeing noted that the F-15EX carries more armament than any other fighter in its class and is capable of launching hypersonic weapons up to 22 feet long - roughly 7 meters - and weighing up to 7000 pounds - about 3,2 tonnes.
The F-15EX outperforms other, even more modern models, including the popular fifth-generation fighter F-35, in that it can reach speeds of more than Mach three.

Why is it "weaker". The B-52 also carries more weapons, but ... they have different tasks.

Various. Here are just a larger car and more expensive.

I'm sorry, but what about the F-35?

It was considered that it was not expensive enough.

[Jack O'Neill]

And what about the Su-35 against the background of the Su-57? Likewise, the F-35 against the background of NGAD, as well as the Su-27 and Su-35, F-15 and F-22.

[figwam]

Quote: Jack O'Neill

And what about the Su-35 against the background of the Su-57?

Everything is logical with us, we have the basic Su-27, which is gradually retiring, there is its deep modernization in the form of the Su-35, and the first aircraft of the fifth generation, the Su-57, is only planned to be delivered to the troops this year.

[rocket757]

So that's okay, although very expensive!
Well, they do not like the penguin, they will create something more suitable.
Anyway, they are trendsetters in aviation, for a long time, this must be recognized and work in the same direction, before it's too late! However, you can do it your way, the main thing is the end result!

[Insurgent]

Quote: rocket757

Anyway, they are the trendsetters in aviation

A very contradictory and largely unfounded statement ...

Here's how to be, for example, with the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, the "workhorse" of the US Air Force, which was inspired by the impressions of the Soviet MiG-21, which the United States had a chance to encounter in the skies of Vietnam?

[Cyril G ...]

F-15 and MiG-25

[rocket757]

What do you mean "served as a push"? The Yankees already had single-engine light fighters of the previous generation, then they made a very powerful, heavy phantom. We were convinced that we also needed a light, nimble fighter. We changed the concept of universalism to a logical division by specialization.
Now they have again switched to universalism ... Yes, they have a craving to do one thing, but the same thing! Does not come out, they return from specialization.
This is not the point. They create and apply novelties, techniques, tactics that many are trying to mess with them! Because a lot of what they create is really effective! That is why I claim that they are trendsetters. This, by the way, does not mean that everyone does everything as in them .... in their language it is very difficult, expensive, and many simply cannot do that. But all the same, in their developments, they are forced to look back at the Yankees, Schaub will not be much weaker.
Something like this.

[RUnnm]

This is what I understand the budget cut.
The previous programs at 22,35 cost just cosmic sums, they are not finished yet, but it's time to master the new money.
This is what I understand as a holiday for the Stars and Stripes taxpayers

[kutuz]

It's so nice to see your reaction!)) Ay, ay, ay, someone dared to look askance towards the shining stars and stripes on the hill! How foolish it is to think that the United States is infallible!

[gorecc]

What is it to you that you are so worried about cutting the American budget? you yourself say (when it is convenient for you) that they have a printing press, and they can print these "candy wrappers" as much as they want ..
so what's the difference whether or not sawing, 100 million is a plane or 300?
it seems to me it's not about budgets and cuts, but the banal envy of the fact that the lag of Russia in aviation from the United States is very critical ... and with such an economy and education, this lag will only get worse ..

[RUnnm]

1. It's nice to see an amateur ascribe to others his own statements about the machine.
2. Moreover, I am sooooo glad that a potential adversary is throwing money away in this way, and the sooner the United States comes to the moment when its financial bubble bursts, the better it will be for the whole world.
3. I think that only a specialized specialist can judge about our critical lag in aviation. But since you are so sure of this, then apparently you are just one of them?

[mark2]

Sitting on the TopVara forum is counted for two years for the Army and for three years for design practice in the field of weapons development.

[gorecc]

the fact of the matter is that you do not need to be a specialized specialist to understand such obvious things that are understandable today even to a simple layman who is at least a little in the subject ... In terms of the quantitative and qualitative composition of the US Air Force, the Russian Air Force is head and shoulders above, and this gap will be only to increase ... as the technological and economic leadership of the United States today, and in the foreseeable future, is indisputable.

They are worse off with this, don't worry so ...

yeah, of course worse .. in the United States, some of the best universities in the world, and these are not just words .. today, the vast majority of the most technologically advanced and innovative companies in the world are American.
In addition to this, the United States is a magnet for world talents and minds, because they know how to create such conditions for work and personal growth that everyone who wants to grow and realize their potential rushes there, including talented Russians.

What a loyal bot. Amer torture from the kryzhopol. Look, do not drip from dryness. The brains are covered with Goebbels' methods, moreover, in the XNUMXs, since such nonsense was then written and it was already out of date. You better tell me about your stolen, how you get ahead.

Entice .....

[mark2]

Well, the world knows that the US has the best universities only from the American rating agencies. However, at the World Mathematical Olympiads and Programming Olympiads, the Chinese and the Russians are in the lead with varying success. Engineering is not a popular profession in the United States. Locals prefer to be specialists in jurisprudence, medicine and some gender sciences. and therefore the Americans prefer to outbid the young and early through all kinds of development funds and grants. Unfortunately it works. It turns out that Russia spends its resources on training specialists, who then, though not all, but the best, leave for the United States.
But there are still timid, so far timid, attempts to keep the specialists in their homeland are still being made. China does not let specialists go at all. Rumored on the net.

[Thrifty]

In the photo in the title of the article there is an airplane from the Stealth movie, but here characteristics, such as flight speed, are not indicated, so the new airplane will probably not be close to the photo.

[kutuz]

"to take the aircraft into service in the early 2030s" - just at that time, the Su57 will arrive in time.

[tralflot1832]

Two took off, waiting for the entire wing to take off. 1000 miles, we readily believe. Aviki is for banana republics, without air defense, such as Libya. AUG came up and silence, even from Epipt you could not hear anything.

[Vadim237]

In the future, these aircraft can use dozens of kamikaze drones - in order to exhaust and destroy air defense systems.

[Grazdanin]

Quote: Vadim237

Not necessarily a kamikaze. All new programs, which include an aviation component, consider working with drones as a priority. This week, the US Army rolled out a new concept for the destruction of air defense with new UAVs.

[Aleks2000]

And what are you arguing about?
They clearly said: "The US Navy has ordered the development of a new carrier-based aircraft"
This means that the pictures from the bulldozer are clearly not the same, and the title is a lie, and the timing is somewhere.
Wait a year or two, and something more specific will go ...

[Grazdanin]

Quote: Alex2000

The US Navy ordered the development of a new carrier-based aircraft

They haven't even ordered yet. So far, we have created a project office that will develop a task and send it to aircraft manufacturers. Those. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc. there is no order for pre-design work yet.
In general, the story began with the fact that the Senate committee did a sticking to the Navy because of the Super Hornets. They say why we spend money on "old" aircraft, it's time to buy new ones.

[Aleks2000]

Moreover, not to be scattered with lazy photos ...

[mark2]

every week here, on VO and not only information from the United States comes in about the beginning of the development of one or another How-Know. It is very interesting.
but the sense will be from the created. where is the information about what has been created? What do the Americans want, we see, and what did they get from the wants? Terrible, super-powerful combat lasers promised by Reagan, are they, as I understand it, still waiting?)

[Quadro]

The local bots have to cluck about our cartoons. But why does it smell like shit from overseas and their top squeals that we stole everything from them? Look how the bots above are licking ass sga, goebbels resting

Bye, we sailed - and the deck version of the penguin-shaped Phy-35Tse should be scrapped?

[K-50]

The US Navy has ordered the development of a new carrier-based aircraft that will replace the Boeing F / A-18E / F Super Hornet in the future.

Hike Fu-35 is still not ice, no matter how much you advertise it!

But what about the F-35S?
Will orders be cut? :-)

Saw, comrade, saw.

I wish them to cut more of the past 1 trillion. ))))

[voyaka uh]

Here is the last of the Pentagon's orders for the F-35. 78 aircraft.
April 2020 year.
Of these, 48 "A", 14 "B", 16 "C".
For aircraft carriers 16 pieces of F-35C

The contract includes 48 conventional takeoff and landing F-35As for the US Air Force,
14 short take-off and vertical landing F-35Bs for the Marine Corps, and 16 carrier-borne F-35C stealth fighters.
Work is expected to be completed by March 2023, according to the DoD statement

[Lesorub]

U.S. Navy begins development of new aircraft to replace F / A-18E / F Super Hornet

Interestingly, the F-35 does not suit the states as a carrier-based fighter ?! or they want to load Northrop factories - whatever they are idle - in any case it is interesting to see what they are plaguing.

[Grazdanin]

Quote: Lesorub

What does the F35 have to do with it? Thinking about replacing the Super Hornet, the Hornets change to the F35. As there were 2 types of fighters / attack aircraft on the Aircraft Carriers, it will remain so.

[Cyril G ...]

Well, do not broadcast at least this nonsense. One type of tactical aircraft on aircraft carriers and for a very long time. From the moment Tomket was written off

[Grazdanin]

Quote: Cyril G ...

This has never happened. Since the F14 was decommissioned, there have been Hornet and Super Hornet. With their similarity, these are different aircraft. Until the 30th there will be Super Hornets and F35s.

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Grazdanin

With their similarity, these are different aircraft.

Of course it is not. This is one type of aircraft. Evolved.

[Grazdanin]

Evolution in general from the F5 goes, but as the Hornet is qualitatively superior to the F5, so the Super Hornet is superior to the Hornets. Development allowed the F14 Super Hornets to replace. And the type of modern fighters of the 4th generation is the same: Multipurpose fighter-bomber. Technically, there is little in common between Hornet and Super Hornet, only the schemes are similar. Avionics, engines, glider changed everything.

The FA-18 is a further development of the YF-17, which in turn is the development of the F5.
FA-18E / F went to replace A6, A7, F14. The F18 is replacing the FA-35 C / D.
