Russian heavy attack drone S-70 "Okhotnik" received a flat engine nozzle

108

The Russian heavy attack drone S-70 "Okhotnik" has changed the engine nozzle. The second prototype of a promising UAV was rolled out at the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant.

For the first time, the developers presented the Okhotnik strike drone with a flat nozzle, which significantly reduces the radar visibility of the vehicle. This is the second sample drone, which was rolled out at the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant. The new "Hunter" will soon begin testing along with the first sample, on which all technologies were tested.



According to Rostec, a new ground control post has been developed for Okhotnik, which will also be tested in the near future.

The fact that the second prototype of the S-70 Okhotnik strike drone will receive a flat engine nozzle has been reported more than once. Just two months ago, Sergey Kuzmin, deputy general designer of the Motor Design Bureau, UEC UMPO PJSC, explained that a flat nozzle scatters a jet stream, and its design feature is that its internal parts cover the hot parts of the engine. According to him, the "Okhotnik" will be the first to receive a flat nozzle, which is not currently available on any Russian fighter.

The fact that the second attack drone "Okhotnik" will be structurally different from the first sample was reported back in the spring of this year. In particular, it was noted that the second machine will be primarily different from the experimental first version in that it is a pre-production sample, created taking into account the tests of the first UAV sample.

It is noted that the use of a flat nozzle will achieve stealth drone while performing certain combat missions.

            Not. In the recommendations of YouTube I got a Ukrainian video about how the Russian Federation does not know how to make drones. There is a standard set: "All components are either Western, or Chinese, or" stolen technology "(these nerds have deduced a whole theory that in Russia, even if there is something good, then everything is" stolen "from" civilized nations "- and a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and an atomic bomb and so on.) And in a piece design. And it does not fly. And without a weapon. In the comments there is hell, frenzy and sodomy, and in the air there are fireworks and caps of the Ukrainian shkolota, confident of an early victory over the thief.

              In 1985, in the 3rd year of the Faculty of DPA, he drew such a nozzle from memory from the journal "Foreign Military Review" for 1984 (an article on the prospects for the development of US aviation) and showed it to the teacher. And he with SUCH eyes: - "Where did you get this information ?!" smile They knew and studied even then.

    The flat nozzle cannot reduce the radar signature, it is behind and therefore covered by the entire UAV body., Without affecting it in any way.
    The flat nozzle is designed to reduce the thermal signature, since the engine exhaust gases are cooled faster in this case.

        A flat nozzle changes the heat trace, reduces it, since the engine gases cool faster, making it difficult to target missiles with a thermal homing head.

          Nothing there cools faster, the only point is that the angle from which the "image" is contrasting enough to capture the GOS is narrowed (the closest analogy is a slotted nozzle on the headlight of a car for "covert" movement at night). In fact, I always thought that the "flat" nozzle is mainly needed precisely to cover the turbine blades from radars. Front - S-shaped air intake, rear - flat nozzle (S-shaped, for obvious reasons - not an option laughing )

    In Russia, everything is very good with the development of the latest combat systems. And everything is very bad with their implementation. Let us recall the story of the Armata, the Su-57, the Coalition ... All these developments have absorbed quite a lot of funds for a long time, and as a result have resulted in single deliveries that practically do not affect the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces. Maybe it's time to think about this sad situation and draw appropriate conclusions? Or, finally, to establish a fairly large-scale production of at least something new. Or to abandon the costs of developing unpromising new products and focus on the mass production of technology from previous generations.

    I think it’s not that they can, and we don’t. This is not so complicated technology, but apparently the fact is that a flat nozzle has a network of both pros and cons. And the minuses, until recently, prevailed over the pluses, according to our designers.
    Do not forget that the Soviet-Russian school of aircraft construction prioritizes super-maneuverability, and a flat nozzle and super-maneuverability seem to be not particularly compatible. However, I agree that when it comes to a purely shock bomb carrier, for which it is more important to be invisible than maneuverable (all one thing, if they notice, then the interceptor will not leave the fighter), then of course the flat nozzle is just right.

    This flat air intake is the same as on the first copy.
    On the first, the nozzle is round, and on the second, nothing was shown.

      Are you so confused about rivets? You probably have a different assembly technology, you know without rivets, right? If you don't kick the blacks, they have the same rivets :))) Or is it something else? :))

    It is striking that on the second copy there are absolutely smooth upper and lower parts of the fuselage, there is not a single radio antenna, as on the first copy, and this is correct, all antennas are hidden behind radio-transparent housings, which definitely reduces the ESR of the apparatus and cannot but please, in the production of hidden antennas for all types of radio communications is all right for us, and this is also a non-trivial task.

      In theory, the Hunter should be controlled through a saucer with a spacecraft, otherwise, why tinker with a device with a range of 6000 km. The satellite dish is quietly mounted inside the case. It's another matter whether we have a spacecraft and ground infrastructure for them to control this UAV.

        In addition to satellite communications, VHF and HF control channels are used with ground and air control points or the leading aircraft. When designing such an aircraft, double or triple duplication of control communication channels is unambiguously laid.

        EPR is a quantitative measure of an object's ability to scatter an electromagnetic wave. Therefore, extraneous protrusions in the form of antennas increase this value, which in turn increases the detection range of an object by means of radar, since the EPR of an object is included in the radar range equation and determines the range at which an object can be detected by a radar. And the work of radio communications on an aircraft does not apply to the definition of EPR.

    strike drone "Hunter" flat nozzlem, significantly reducing radar signature machinery

    It doesn't reach me how:
    flat nozzle (rectangular parallelepiped) reduces radar conspicuity conspicuous compared to a round nozzle (cylinder)
    recourse
    using the approach "3 bast shoes to the left of the moon"
    σmax = 4*π *b^2 *h^2/λ VS σmax = 2 * π * r * h ^ 2 / λ
    it seems to me that the round one will be smaller /
    call it "flat nozzle"

    recourse
    in common people: jet engines shielded
    otherwise he has:


    "slotted nozzle"

    Honored Military Pilot of Russia Major General Vladimir Popov:
    A decrease in the radar signature of the aircraft due to the installation of a flat nozzle also takes place. The surface reflecting radio beams is reduced also because there are no abrupt transitions in the aircraft structure. Thanks to the new nozzle, the shape of the UAV's fuselage has also changed, which made it even less visible to radars; it is now almost flat.

    Interestingly, the flight was shown with a round nozzle. With a flat one they did not even show that he was driving himself. That's a coincidence?
