J-20 and T-50 flight test after another The United States developed the sixth generation of fighter aircraft emergencies
According to my intelligence, the Air Force deputy chief of staff Karl Herbert Lyle recently pointed out, with Russia and China to promote the fifth-generation fighter program, the U.S. lost in the field of stealth technology leader in aviation speed faster than expected.He pointed out that although the U.S. military will remain a considerable advantage, but this period will not last long.
Carl Lyle pointed out that the field of stealth technology in the aircraft pose a threat to the United States are two countries Russia and China the former fifth-generation multi-role fighter T-50 and the latters next generation J-20 fighters are currently in flighttesting phase.
He also reminded that the United States from the late 70s of last century began the worlds first stealth fighters F-117 production work.But now Russia and China also have the ability to develop stealth fighter.
In addition, Carl Blair also stressed that Russia and China may not be completed in a short time the fifth generation stealth fighter development work.This is because both need time to develop stealth fighter, also need experience.U.S. B-2 stealth bomber developed and F-22, F-35 stealth fighter is a good example of the process.
However, the U.S. Air Force deputy chief of staff expressed in an interview Shique contrast with the above remarks.He pointed out that US-made military aircraft was in the quality of the product beyond Russia and China, even if they complete the fifth generation fighter development, the level of U.S. military equipment will be upgraded to a new level.

Need to be reminded that the U.S. media have reported that in February of this year, the U.S. military has begun to determine the technical performance of sixth-generation fighter requirements.It is predicted that the United States the sixth-generation fighter is expected to serve in the 2025-2030 years.
Despite the rapid progress in Russia and China, but the U.S. advantages in stealth technology is beyond doubt.U.S. Air Force this year many are involved in military operations will be very prominently reflected this.However, military experts also pointed out that the Russian T-50 and China, J-20 short-term can not become the fifth-generation fighter competitors.
Russian Sukhoi company last year began for the fifth generation fighter aircraft flight testing.The work of new aircraft production is expected to start in 2015.
T-50 is used in the body design of a large number of new aircraft stealth technology.Its not only equipped with new avionics, but also about 400 meters in length runways.The aircrafts maximum flight speed of up to 2100 km / hour, range of about 5500 km.
T-50s built-in magazine can be configured within eight R-77 air to air missiles and two 1,500 kg-class guided bombs.In addition, the plug-in rack mount again the two ultra long-range missiles.Of course, some experts pointed out the lack of the machine in order to protect the fighters maneuverability, stealth designers had made a sacrifice.In addition, T-50 avionics systems have lagged behind the performance of American fifth-generation fighter.
As for Chinas J-20, this new type of aircraft has completed its first flight in January of this year.According to Chinese sources,J-20 will be served in the 2017-2019 years.However, the presen! t study Chinas level of stealth technology, and practical experience, an expert on the J-20 can with the T-50 and F-22 to compete skeptical.
