When will the flashlight be completely transparent? China already has it.

[viktor_ui]

figs - a one-piece flashlight, apparently, will be on production cars (interestingly, it will be made of sapphire glass like the amers, or we will have our own know-how in this regard). The question reminded me of the USSR's already lagging behind in glass production technology ... Amera uses reflective spraying and, possibly, the monochrome effect of glass on their birds (reaction time, almost instantaneous). Can anyone have infa about using this function to protect any optics, including the glazing of cabins ??? ALI "TONING" is also FORBIDDEN in the army?

Sapphire is ceramic, not glass. The sapphire single crystal is transparent.
I wonder why they made such a poor review to the pilot of the rear hemisphere? He is practically blind!

[viktor_ui]

professor - the term "SAPPHIRE GLASS" is used: in a watch, in an article about the glazing of the F-35 cabin - for which I bought, for which I sell (I don’t have deep knowledge in this area, I know that it only has increased shock and heat resistance, scratch very hard). And about the poor view of the rear hemisphere - why the heck should the pilot turn his head if all the information can be seen from the rear-view mirrors or from the tactical display. I think that the pilot will have to sit in a kind of cocoon (or swaddle it) so that this head does not fall off inadvertently during pirouettes, given the thrust-to-weight ratio of this bird.

China has no engines, but let them fly with a flashlight.

Our bird looks more beautiful than the Raptor, we really want this product with a full-fledged filling and periphery to be at the air bases as soon as possible - good luck to her.

[Superduck]

Yeah, nicer. True, I do not know, I think that the volume of the internal compartments against the f-22 is smaller. Although why the heck they then surrendered to the raptor so big if it doesn’t work on ground targets, it’s 4 air-to-air missiles with its head (I'm talking about the raptor).

T-50 looks like a car directly!

The T-50 has Sukhoi's corporate identity - the integration of the fuselage and center section. The wing and fuselage smoothly flow into each other. Hence the feeling of grace, flatness, "leanness" is created. Internal volumes, it seems, do not suffer from this.

In the F-22 and, especially, in the Chinese J-20, the silhouettes are more chopped - that’s the fuselage, but the wing that is docked to it. The difference is especially noticeable in the front projection. In short, the aerodynamics, and hence the maneuverability of the T-50 will be better.

The most important thing in an airplane is its most transparent part. ! Well done boys!

But the one who sits in me, believes that he is IS-TRE-BI-TEL!
