US work on a new strategic bomber

American companies are actively working to create a next-generation strategic bomber, the characteristics of which will significantly exceed the B-2 Spirit, reports "Military Industrial Courier" with reference to defense news.

It is noted that the Pentagon "in the near future, perhaps before the end of September" will provide a contract for the creation of this aircraft. The largest American military-industrial companies participate in the fight for it: the tandem of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, as well as Northrop Grumman.

According to reports, the new bomber will have even less visibility for radar than the B-2, thanks to advanced composite materials. In addition, the aircraft will be able to carry nuclear weapon.

The new bomber will have a smaller size than the B-2, but the shape of its “flying wing” will remain. It is possible that the range and maximum weight of the ammunition will also decrease.

Currently American long-distance aviation uses bombers B-2, B-5. According to the plans of the Pentagon, they will be replaced by new aircraft from around the mid-2020s. In total, it is planned to purchase up to 100 new bombers worth at least $ 550 million each.

From the Yankos we quickly learn the technical characteristics of PAK YES than from our own.

I will paraphrase. The Yankos will announce the characteristics of the promising bomber, and will, on a competitive basis, select one sample from three developed by different companies (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman). Ours will quickly chatter an "adequate" answer. This is how we find out the "promising" characteristics of the PAK DA. Well, maybe, if not distant, then at least strategic.

Judging by the article, then the new strategist will be inferior to the Tu-160, both in range, and in speed, and in flight altitude, and in bomb load. Americans want to further reduce visibility, because The Soviet old air defense system managed to bring down the 2 B-2 bomber. And, apparently, they want to arm them with new types of nuclear weapons. Probably the old B-2 does not allow for the appropriate modernization of bomb and missile containers. And finally, reducing the size and weight will significantly reduce the cost of the bomber.

And at the same time, they are working on "packing" into the "old airframe" Tu-160 "iron" of a new generation, with a progressive ideology ...

And thus, the updated Tu-160 (and this is not about MODERNIZATION, but the construction of NEW aircraft), will most likely be a flying platform for testing promising PAKDA units ...

[Reserve buildbat]

Forward! Now they will start designing, then for a long time and stubbornly they will give birth to the same flightless "it" as the B-2, F-22, F-35 ... they will again make it super lousy at a super price. They have not started doing it yet, but the price is already indicated at least 550 million per piece. In reality, it will turn out at least 3 yards.
Begin to enter the Air Force from the end of 2020, they will be able to take off this year to 2035

Let's hope that artificial intelligence is provided there,
which will not allow to ultimately fly to Russia,
Feeling the radiation of radar systems of missile defense and air defense!
Because of the fear that they will be knocked down, absolutely!

whose characteristics will significantly exceed the B-2 Spirit

The main characteristic will be the price of 12 billion?

The rogue has no money.

According to reports, the new bomber will have even less noticeability for radars than the B-2, thanks to advanced composite materials.

It is necessary to restore the S-75, he then sees them because of the centimeter range.

No one has canceled turbulence either ...

[rotmistr60]

You probably wanted to say the inverse trace. What does turbulence have to do with it?

What does turbulence have to do with it?

Turbulence, outdated. turbulence (from the Latin. turbulentus - turbulent, erratic), turbulent flow - the phenomenon consists in the fact that with an increase in the velocity of the fluid or gas in the medium, numerous nonlinear fractal waves and ordinary, linear of various sizes, without external, random, forces disturbing the environment and / or in their presence. To calculate such flows, various turbulence models were created. Waves appear randomly. That is, their size and amplitude change randomly in a certain interval. They occur most often either at the boundary, near the wall, and / or upon the destruction or overturning of the wave. They can form on jets. Experimentally, it can be observed at the end of a steam jet from an electric kettle. Turbulence was experimentally discovered by the English physicist and engineer O. Reynolds in 1883 when studying the flow of water in pipes.

ANY moving object leads to turbulence.

Condensation trail (obsolete. Inversion trail, jarg. Reactive trail - erroneous names) - a visible trail of condensed water vapor that occurs in the atmosphere behind moving aircraft under certain atmospheric conditions. The phenomenon is most often observed in the upper layers of the troposphere, much less often in the tropopause and stratosphere. In some cases, it can be observed at low altitudes.

Watching at what speed. Everything can be laminar. But not in the case of an airplane, of course.

For VseDoFeNi

Dear, I studied thermodynamics and hydraulics in due time. You took information from the Internet and copied it. Now explain how does turbulence affect the locator's "vision"?

[VseDoFeNi]

Quote: rotmistr60

Now explain how does turbulence affect the locator's "vision"?

In the theory that underlies the development and locators including in turbulent flows there is a difference in air densities even if it is possible to level the exhaust temperature. But this difference in densities can be detected - we all see how the air trembles over a heated surface ...

[rotmistr60]

What does the "trembling air" over the earth's surface have to do with it? Do you understand the principle of the locator? For first graders, the sent signal bounces off the surface and returns.

[Deniska]

I'm certainly not special, but the passage of waves, as well as the possible reflection in my opinion from the density, is changing. Or, in the absence of an object, all the waves simply go into space and there is not even the slightest reflection from dust, etc. ?? Explain who is versed.

[VseDoFeNi]

Quote: rotmistr60

For first graders - the sent signal is reflected from the surface and returns ..

If you see air with different densities, the locator can just as well see it. The wave is reflected from an obstacle that is formed by the same air with a different density. So in the wake of discovering submarines.

Actually, here.

But specialists recognize in it the Spear-A airborne early warning radar station. And maybe, if military secrets allow, they will tell you that they are equipped with Ka-27 multi-purpose ship helicopters. The station allows you to control the territory in a circular zone with a viewing radius of up to 250 km, is adapted to work in weather conditions of increased complexity, is capable of recording small surface and ground objects, can used when mapping the coastal zone with a resolution of up to 10 meters and detect meteorological conditions and dangerous zones of turbulence.

[Armored optimist]

Let them work. They will have a couple more trillions. Our answer should be asymmetric. By the criterion of cost-effectiveness.

[sagitch]

Russia's largest aircraft corporations will enter the battle for a contract to create a new American strategic bomber ?! - with a defect, so as not to fly towards Russia!

According to reports, the new bomber will have even less noticeability for radars,

What is not clear here, cut ...

[Voha_krim]

They are, of course, big "radishes", but it would be amazing if they didn't!

[mamont5]

"According to reports, the new bomber will be even less visible to radar than the B-2, thanks to advanced composite materials."

And thanks to this, it will not be destroyed by the C-125 missile (as in Yugoslavia), but by the C-300, C-400 or C-500.

The bomber will become a transitional link to a new supersonic project - "2037 Bomber" (Bomber 2037). Work on this project will begin no earlier than the 2020s. "

What's the news - I think that we will be the first to see an American bomber. Maybe someone will not like it - the first round Russia (USSR) lost in accepting bombers. There are 3 generations - V-52-Tu-95, V-1V -Tu-160, but there is no such type of V-2 aircraft in Russia. One chatter. They have a printing press and Silicon Valley, and we have solid promises and Skolkovo. The scales are different.

[VP]

Sorry, but what is its superiority over the TU-160?
Speed? Ceiling? Range? Load?

[Vadim237]

Seeing a new bomber, the LRSB will carry a larger missile bomb load than the Tu 160 and have less noticeable technology, including new engines that reduce the visibility of the aircraft in the infrared range.

The cost of one spirit is more than two billion.
New will be more expensive.
Question: Will the Americans risk sending such an aircraft to where it is likely that these cute myards can turn into wreckage?

About a trillion has already been spent on the F-35 program. How much will it take and what directions will the Pentagon have to close due to lack of funding?

[Polite Moose]

Something all began to drive on this stealth. But making an aircraft invisible in all ranges is unrealistic at the current level of technology development. Therefore, I imagine the PAK DA version in this form: a large lifting platform with optimal aerodynamics for a long flight. Internal and external weapons suspension assemblies. The obligatory presence of electronic warfare means (in double quantity) of all sorts of "Levers", "Presidents-S", "Mercury", "Khibiny", etc. as well as a package of short-range air defense missiles. And let this object glow like a Christmas tree on radar. It will be problematic to destroy it with conventional air defense systems. And all this stealth will sooner or later be multiplied to zero by new means of detection.

[VP]

Not only in all ranges is unrealistic, but in all angles.
When advertising (and unchecked) EPR numbers are given, they only give the frontal projection along the axis, i.e. optimized direction.
At the turn of the air defense, radiation comes from several spaced stations at different angles.
Well, the ranges are different.
In general, the big question is whether the costs of stealth are justified by the achieved effect, in the foreign press this question is being asked more and more often.

[Polite Moose]

I have an option for our military-industrial complex to cut dough from adversaries.
It is necessary to agree with the developers and manufacturers of promising US bombers for 10-20% of the money invested in the project that when they inform about the need or the beginning of the development of the next wunder-waffle, we get hysteria in the media and an imitation of panic, which lasts until the developer receives the money in full.
In my opinion, a good business.

[Vadim237]

Vryatli these aircraft will be included in the air defense zones, most likely their trump cards will be strategic hypersonic missiles.
