Get VA J-20 2006-2024

The thrust-to-weight ratio of the all-direction, vector turbofan WS-15 Emei engine is more than 10 one of the basic requirements for giving the J-20 supercruise ability. Supercruise allows stealth fighters like the US' F-22 Raptor to fly at supersonic speeds without using afterburners, making them harder to detect.

Official statement: The F-35 CAN Supercruise. The F-35, while not technically a "supercruising" aircraft, can maintain Mach 1.2 for a dash of 150 miles without using fuel-gulping afterburners. "Mach 1.2 is a good speed for you, according to the pilots," O'Bryan said.

The Eurofighter Typhoon is capable of supercruise at Mach 1.5.

Officially, all models of the F-35 have a maximum speed of Mach 1.6, though such speeds are rarely attained in routine operations. Like all but a few jet fighters, the F-35 relies on afterburners to sustain supersonic speeds.

The F-35 will replace AV-8B Harrier IIs in the Marine Corps inventory. Designed to operate from austere bases and a range of air-capable ships with its short takeoff/vertical landing capability, the F-35B can also takeoff and land conventionally from longer runways on major bases.

USAFE and all NATO dual role aircraft can carry B61s. B61 bombs (in tactical variants) are deployed with NATO allies in Europe as part of the NATO Nuclear Weapons Sharing Program. ... The B61 can fit inside the F-22 Raptor's weapons bays and will also be carried by the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

It is a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth all weather multirole fighter aircraft. Feasibility study on AMCA and the preliminary design stage have been completed. The project awaits approval to begin design and development stage. ... The most recent CAD model of aircraft appeared in Aero India 2019.

The HAL Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is an Indian programme to develop a fifth-generation fighter aircraft. ... It is a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth all weather multirole fighter aircraft.

Currently India is using Israeli AESA radars in its Tejas fighter. However, the Indian Electronics and Radar Development Establishment has been working on a solid-state -Nitride radar since 2012.

India has been developing its own unmanned stealth bomber, officially designated as Indian Unmanned Strike Air Vehicle (IUSAV). ... The scientists building the bomber insist that it is not an audacious pipe dream. They plan to begin flight tests in three years and hope to deliver a fully operational platform by 2020.

The U.S. and Israel are the only countries to have used stealth aircraft in combat. ... The first use of stealth aircraft was in the U.S. invasion of Panama, where F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft were used to drop bombs on enemy airfields and positions while evading enemy radar.

Stealth aircraft are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light, radio frequency (RF) spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology.

The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar. ... The airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment. The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.

Stealth aircraft are shaped to avoid detection by high-frequency beams. Meter wave radars can detect stealth aircraft because modern stealth aircraft are mainly designed to avoid detection by microwave radar, and are less stealthy to meter wave radar, said Global Times.

The 'flying wing' shaped Stealth Bomber (nicknamed 'Spirit') is a unique aircraft that's designed to make it as invisible as possible. Its shape means there are very few leading edges for radar to reflect from, reducing its signature dramatically.
