Russia will overtake America in the new fighter


http://news.mail.ru/politics/5506449/

The latest fifth-generation fighter T-50 began its test flight at supersonic speeds.
According to the developers, it is technically more equipped than the American F-22 Raptor, which already is used by the U.S. Air Force. Experts believe that the production of the new fighter could change the balance between Russia and the United States in arms exports. Details - in the material correspondent Vesti FM Sergey Tkachuk.

"Long-Term Complex Frontal Aviation" - the official name of the Russian fifth generation fighter T-50. Sukhoi is developing it since 2002. The first flight took place on January 29, 2010 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Second - there 10 days ago. The third flight is planned for this summer. According to the developers, radar, the fighter sees everything that happens in the air and on the ground at a distance of several hundred kilometers. He can "lead" while the set of goals and also at the same time they hit. T-50 can take off and land on the runway just 300-400 meters. The developers say the plane will reach speeds of more than 2 thousand kilometers per hour and to make flights at a distance of 5,000 kilometers. Armament of the new machine will be removed completely in the internal compartments of a fighter. In them, according to some, may be placed up to eight missiles.

But the biggest advantage of the Russian T-50 to U.S. F-22 and "export» F-35 is its ability to fire missiles at supersonic speed. American, as far as is known, in order to launch out of the inner compartments, must move at subsonic speeds. This peculiarity makes the T-50 and more competitive on the world arms market, said a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense Minister Igor Korotchenko.

"The Russian fifth generation fighter aircraft - is a breakthrough innovation project, which has great both military and political significance. In addition, we expect that this car will compete in the global arms market. The Americans have two fifth-generation fighter - an F-22 Raptor and F-35. F-22 is not available on the world arms market is supplied F-35. Therefore, we compete directly with two American cars ", - told Korotchenko.

With the "revolutionary new" fifth generation fighter, Russia can escape into the leaders of weapons systems - so the western media welcomed the successful testing of the T-50. According to the analysis of the Stockholm Peace Research Institute, now the U.S. and Russia control more than half of the world arms market - 53%. Internal rivalries between them while benefiting the United States. They accounted for 30% of world exports, while for Russia - 23%. However, with the T-50, this balance can be changed.

Russia create a pulsing jet engine

http://lenta.ru/news/2011/03/31/pulse/

Scientific-Technical Center of Cradles, a subsidiary of Scientific-Production Association "Saturn", is developing a pulsing jet engine. On this, as reported by ITAR-TASS news agency , said the managing director of Saturn Ilya Fedorov. Development is conducted in parallel with the project promising engine of the second phase ("Item 129") for the fighter T-50 (PAK FA). According to Fedorov, myself, "Saturn" is working "on future aircraft the next stage, which may be unmanned.
On the development of precisely the form of pulsating engine in question, Fedorov did not elaborate. At present there are three types of throbbing engines - valve, valveless and detonation. The principle of operation of these power plants is the periodic submission to the combustion of fuel and oxidizer, which ignites the fuel mixture and outflow of products of combustion from the nozzle to form a thrust. It is believed that pulsating engine is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Pulsating air jet engine was invented in the late XIX century Swedish engineer Martin Wiberg. The new powerplant has been developed during the Second World War and the standard used on cruise missiles German V-1. These missiles mounted engine Argus As-014 manufactured by Argus-Werken. The power plant yielded its characteristics are already available at the time of aircraft engines, but it was cheap and easy to manufacture.

Currently, several large defense firms in the world are engaged in research in the field of high pulse jet engines. In particular, the works are a French company SNECMA and U.S. General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.
