Flight tests of the Japanese fighter 5-th generation ATD-X. Video

107
In Japan, for the first time, flight tests of a fighter were conducted, reportedly of the 5 generation. We are talking about the aircraft, called X2 (ATD-X) (Advanced Technology Demonstrator X). The fighter has stealth technology. Its development is engaged in technical design bureau of the Institute of the Ministry of Defense of Japan.

The Department of Defense ordered a 5 generation military aircraft over 8 years ago. Active design work was launched in 2009. It is noted that the system "stealth" has an effective scattering area, which allows it to hide from recognition by modern radars. The aircraft is equipped with two turbojet engines and can develop supersonic speed without the use of afterburner.

The specialists of the company are involved in the creation of the Japanese fighter Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

From the characteristics of the aircraft:
Empty mass - 13 tons, maximum speed - 2660 km / h, maximum flight altitude - 20 thousand m, wingspan - 9 m, fuselage length - about 14 m, crew - 1 people.

Information Agency Kyodo reports that the plane made a flight from the airfield to the city of Nagoya to the airbase in Gifu Prefecture.



The manufacturer, on the basis of X2 flight tests (ATD-X), will conclude that it is possible to start mass production of an 5 generation aircraft for the country's Air Force in 2019. Currently, Japan has spent about 335 million dollars developing the project.

              So it's all made of plastic ... belay so as not to shine on radars. We urgently need to craft a cardboard rocket in KB, otherwise we won’t have anything to shoot them with))

        What is in it from the fifth generation? Year of issue?
        Honestly, neither the video, nor the claimed performance characteristics, nor the development cost was impressive.

        Well, the Japanese say that he will be more inconspicuous than a bird, sharper than a hawk, and will probably be able to transform into a robot (if he is controlled by a schoolgirl). But you never know what they say (and the schoolgirl will not be allowed to pilot until the aliens attack the earth)?

        This is a light fighter-interceptor - and he will remain it. It makes no sense to compare it with pak-fa.
        As a fighter-interceptor, its current characteristics are 20% better than the old f-16 and worse than the f-22. Question - maybe it’s worth just changing the engine for the f-16, so that it throws 300 km \ h and 1 km of the ceiling and does not steam?

            The first take-off and immediately afterburner, I do not believe it.
            That's what they took for that kind of money and made engines of the 5th generation, I do not believe it.
            The plane is small, respectively, the combat radius is small, purely for Japan.

          There is no magic here. 1: they took the aerodynamic design of the F-22 (worked out and flies for a long time) - this is 20% of the cost of work. 2: since this is a prototype, it does not make much sense to bother with serious resource tests, this is another minus 15% of the cost of work. 3: Engines (which is not entirely clear), but the OBT system in the form of deflectors is borrowed from the US-German project Rockwell-MBB X-31 one to one i.e. at least part of the engine and avionics was already in the metal ... And that savings from 40% to 60% therefore such a budget. It should also be noted that this is not a serial car and even a lightweight class. Those. 350 million technology demonstrator is quite a bit to itself ...

        In fact. How much money is there for an airplane (335 mILONS ???). The American model does not fit into this standard (there is more money than aircraft).
        Well, well - ..! Good luck to the developers, and most importantly, to understand what happened!
        First question: Engines and their performance characteristics.
        Second: (the most mysterious, count of composites per metal.)
        Only after that, there are still a bunch of specifically related issues.
        And then let's say, fifth?

      Japanese engines will be but not now. They are being developed by IHI Corporation. The company, which, incidentally, produced the first Japanese jet engine during WWII.
      After all, it is much more logical to buy American engines when there is such an opportunity and begin flight tests than to wait until the domestic engine is brought to mind.

        Our development is slower because our specialists are meticulous about their offspring. You take a look how many prototypes only for ground tests we have created. We check all the parameters very high quality. And this is window dressing. That's all.

          This is because we know how to make airplanes, and they only learn. So far this is only a prototype, but the dashing troubles began, initially no one took the Japanese subcompact seriously, especially in the United States, but history has shown who is who. There is a good executive engineering school in Japan, so how to know how to know is possible in 5-10 years we can have a serious competitor both in the air and in the market ...

            Exclusively because of the hatred in the US political and military elite. Blinded by the theory of white supremacy, the Yankees simply could not believe that the Japanese could create something that could compete with American developments. "Their army is a congregation of bespectacled skinny underdogs armed with small things, their Air Force planes are bad copies of American and European planes"- these were the moods that prevailed in the US Armed Forces.
            And, accordingly, the Yankees did not bother with the development of tactical techniques and the preparation of pilots for battles with a light highly maneuverable fighter in time. Although the data on "Zero" they had - from the same Shannolt. But they were simply shelved.

            And only after the first losses - after the Philippines, New Guinea, the Coral Sea - only then did the Yankees begin to think about tactics. ICHH, they came up with it - a tactic that made it possible to fight on an equal footing with the "Zero" the same aircraft that in the first year of the war poured the Japanese almost dry. And when the Yankees fell into the hands of almost a whole "Zero" ... then the study of performance characteristics and weaknesses of the "Zero" was included even in the pilot training course.

      A sort of Makar and Ukrainians can lift the L-39NG into the air, repainting it in the 5th generation. And for the same money, they and the moonshine engines will teach you how to work.

      Before the first flight, control taxiing and control runs are carried out. The task of the first flight is to take flight characteristics, figuratively speaking, how an airplane behaves in the air. A box is made above the airfield. Therefore, the landing gear is not removed, well, in which case, in order not to decompose the plane, the plane should the exhaust system fail.

    That is not to underestimate the Japanese, it is an outstanding nation.

    We underestimated them in the 1904 year. Remind me what happened in the Tsushima Strait?

    All European colonial powers underestimated them in the 1940 year. Remind me what happened at Pearl Harbor?

    What is their trick? stealth. It seems to me that the Japanese have really efficient airplanes that they are hiding banally. It happened exactly the same way at the end of 1930x - they flew in China on old types and everyone thought that the Japanese could only copy and could not build a single modern machine.

          The question was not for you smile , and Leshem at number 74. And the Il-76 LL is a "flying laboratory", a "technology demonstrator" is something else.

      Judging by the photo, you need to spend another $ 335 million on a retractable landing gear.

        yes, my friend, it’s hard to reason with the brow, if you don’t understand the current in technology .. ALWAYS don’t remove the chassis in the first test flights, it’s not for you to chop drafts in the air

    Some kind of him ... There is no military aesthetics in him, or something ...
    If the F-35 is called a penguin, this one I would call an eared penguin.
    The vertical plumage seems disproportionately large. Perhaps they are trying to correct some problems with handling due to it.

    Based on its size, it should have a small internal compartment.
    Those. small ammunition. And whether the anti-ship will fit into it is a question.
    On the ground, it is most likely not intended.
    The radius without PTB, I think, is 700 kilometers, but this is enough for Yap.

    Well done ipona mother. They did not enter a labor union with anyone, but themselves, with quiet water, created what they needed. I would not be surprised if he does the same f 22 on the electronic board. A kind of "zero" of the twenty-first century.

      Who said what they created?
      Three more years will be done at least. This is if everything will be perfect.
