  1. F16 is the product of the US land -based light fighter plan (in fact, the F15 is too expensive and cannot be produced in large quantities), and it is transformed into a multi -purpose air fighter (from 15 batches of Block). Combined with combat, the output is amazing and strong. It uses wings to fuse the wing to greatly reduce the resistance and has the advantages of a large push-weight ratio. Pulse Doppler radar is the first fighter jet in the United States [the third generation of the US standard for the third generation of the Russian standard]
    f18 full name F/A-18, f/a means fighting/attack aircraft, and also It is a battle attack aircraft, which is the product of the American VFAX plan. F18 takes into account air combat fighting, attack on ground, anti -ship capabilities, is the absolute main model of the Navy [does not have stealth ability] at the same time. -18G Roar, the only electronic warfare fighter in the United States, is also equipped with 4 F/A-18 formations and two E/A-18 electronic warfare teams in each aircraft carrier in the United States) use AN/APG- 65 Pulse Doppler radar [The Three Generations of the Russian Standard of the United States]
    F22 is the product of the ATF program in the United States. Detectability/invisible > u003CShort-range take-off ability> u003CUhemore-speed cruise> u003CSuper Motor Power> At the same time, there are YF-23 Black Widow. Finally, the YF-22 scheme of Loma won the tender and obtained the Air Force order And YF-23 only two in the world are sealed in the warehouse, and there is no following. The F22 owns vector advancement (unlike the omnidirectional vector of Russia, the US F22 can only go up and down. This advantage is low infrared thermal sensation. The disadvantage is that it will be. Lost engine thrust) built-in bomb compartment (can be mounted six AIM-120B long-range air-to-air missiles/GBU-32 Jeddam/, two AIM-9X fighting bombs). The conventional external dumping double vertical tail design, the vertical tail is 27 degrees, the intake tract adopts the Galat air intakeway, the air intake channel is inseparable, and the engine uses the inclusive F119 engine (prototype W5000) single -desk thrust is about 13 tons. After not in use, it can also be cruised by supersonic speed. The culvert can be changed between 0-0.25. The radar uses an/APG-77 to have a fate with a phased array.

    Weapons

    F/A-22 In addition to performing air advantage tasks, you can also use combined direct attack ammunition and other precise guidance weapons for precise ground attacks. Due to the needs of stealth and supersonic cruise, the basic weapons and equipment of F/A-22 are placed in the machine. However, it also has four wings of the auxiliary fuel tank and missile.

    (1) The machine gun

    F/A-22 fighter plane was equipped with a newly developed advanced technology machine gun, but before the machine gun was practical, it is currently currently. Equipped with a M61A2 machine that was improved. The aircraft cannon is installed in the cannon cabin above the air inlet. During the shooting, the front cabin door of the cannon can be opened backwards to shoot and eliminate exhaust gas. In addition to the M61A2 gun in the cannon cabin, it is also installed with a shellless ammunition linear bombing system developed by Lockheed Martin and 480 rounds of shells.

    (2) Air-to-ground weapons

    F/A-22 fighter air weapons include AIM-9 "Skill Snake" short-range and AIM-120 " "Amram" medium -range missile. Each AIM-120 missile is installed, the weapon system will increase by 205 kg, of which the missile weighs 160 kg and the launch device weighs 45 kg. As the weapon is hung in the fuselage weapon cabin, the flight resistance and radar reflection area does not increase. The air-to-ground weapon is mainly 454 kg of GBU-32 combined with direct attack ammunition. You can also mount the combined directly attack ammunition of MK84 or BLU-109/B. In order to improve the ability of F/A-22 to carry future ammunition in the main weapon cabin, the U.S. Air Force conducted weapons optimization research. The solutions considers include: two improved accuracy within 3 meters combined with direct attack ammunition; two wind correction ammunition Bassa developed by Rockhid Martin; 8 115 kg of small caliber precise ammunition; or 24 laser/radar composite guidance of autonomous bullets.
    (3) Weapon cabin and weapon suspension device

    The fuselage weapon compartment. There is a main weapon compartment under the front fuselage of the F/A-22 fighter, and there is a sub-weapon cabin on each side of the fuselage. Therefore, in addition to the cannon compartment, there are 3 weapons inside the F/A-22 body. The cabin ensures that all weapons can be installed inside the aircraft.

    weapons hanging racks and missile launchers. F/A-22 is installed with the LAU-142/A "Amram" missile developed by EDO. The main weapon cabin is installed with a total of 6 such launcher. This steering ejection can reduce the volume of the weapon cabin, so as to save weight and fire missiles under all flight conditions. The pneumatic hydraulic device was launched in 1 second to launch a missile. In addition, Lockheed Martin's Tactical Aircraft System Department launched the AIM-9 missile for the F/A-22 aircraft on the basis of the F-16 aircraft's wing-tip launch track. This transmitter can quickly retract, but it cannot ejection missiles, but to fire the "Slang Snake" missile from the front of the side weapon compartment. As a result, the field of infrared leadership of the missile infrared. This transmitter also meets the new AIM-9X missile requirements of F/A-22.

    The external hanging frame. F/A-22 has 4 wing hanging points, and each hanging point can mount 2270 kg weight. You can mount 4 2270 -liter auxiliary fuel tanks when you do not hang the weapon. You can also carry 4 missiles when you hang 2 auxiliary fuel tanks

    , that is, the next -generation main station machine of the US Air Force after the F15

    and the F35C type will be the choice of the next -generation carrier -based aircraft of the US Navy. The continuation of the F18

    has no special relationship. You do n’t have to study this
    , F is a fighter A is an attack machine B, which is a bombing machine. This is the standard of the United States.
