The afterburner don't only emit infrared. Soot, which reflect radar is even released. This is another reason why supercruise is important. It is actually a much more important feature than most people understand, for several reasons. Please do a video on that topic. Even if a stealth attack is impossible to do in supersonic speed, if not hiding in very low level, things can go wrong and the need for supercruise be essential for surviving. Furthermore, reaching high speed close to the end of the mission, will give the weapons more speed and range, as well as shorten the possible time available for the enemy to react. Talking about stealth. A video about the new Russian 3-band mobile fast deployed anti stealth radars would ve intresting.

Actually not a problem as engine burn cleaner in afterburner. A great example would be the MiG-29 as the only time it's not producing smoke plumes is when in burner. Even with modern "smokeless" engines, you will always see a puff of faint smoke produced when transitioning in and out of afterburner, but not in any other flight regime. Even then, we're talking about particles so small, that weather radars would be the best way to track them as they are used to track moister, debris, and smoke in the event of severe weather. However these systems are not generally used in military applications due to the over abundances of things it picks up. The main problems with afterburners in regards to stealth are the IR signature, but also the nozzle setting opens up gaps that increase the radar signature, and of course the noise. The noise is highly underrated as a modern fighter flying next to a WWII aircraft tends to get drowned out by the prop noise, but once the burner kicks in, you can hear it for miles, and the distance increases with altitude. Out of the factors here, nozzle positioning is the biggest concern. The engine will be stealthiest at mil power, going above or below that regime will expose gaps in the nozzle, and in the case of the Raptor, this is especially true while using thrust vectoring which is why TV is used as a last resort in extremely slow flight regimes, otherwise the flight computer opts not to use it at all.

The funny thing about the F35 and these type craft is that they are definately NOT dogfighters. The F35 is a modern, stealthy Harrier. They are designed specifically to avoid dogfights by being able to send Fox3 missles at air to air targets from 30-50 miles away while never being spotted by awax or on board radars. But if you get one into a turning dogfight, it can be easily defeated by Gen 4 dogfighters. As NATOs rivals get better on board radar, and their own stealth multiroles in theatre, the F35 may become quickly outclassed, like the Harrier of old.

Another issue is the moment you strap on weapons and fuel tanks performance goes through the gutter on 4th-gen aircraft. This is why even when it was limited to 7Gs with older software packages, it was able to keep up with F-16s very easily that had a typical combat loadout of two external fuel tanks. Even with those fuel tanks the F-35 can carry more fuel internally than the F-16 while retaining better performance due to the fact it doesn't suffer from the aerodynamic penalty.

Excellent video as usual Millennium 7! A couple tidbits to point out: the F-35's engine (F-135) is higher bypass than any other "fighter" jet engine that I can think of. I would tend to call it kind of a "medium bypass". This limits top speed considerably, but that too is an IR-stealth consideration. It's very fuel efficient compared to it's thrust output. I'd argue that the F-35 is much more designed to fight in an IR-based combat environment than the F-22. The YF-23 would have had much better IR characteristics than the F-22, giving it longer legs in staying ahead of anti-stealth tech. The IRST in the F-35 is omni-directional, worth mentioning compared to other planes which have a limited field of view. The F-4 had some interesting IR characteristics as well, when pulling away from an IR guided missile fired at it from the rear, it's horizontal tail fins helped to obfuscate the exhaust plumes, while simultaneously the angle of the rear H-stabs would cause a lot of cavitation in the exhaust plume, causing it to mix with ambient air better. Alternatively, one could argue that the F-4's tail boom created greater IR signature for ground based enemies. The A-10's solution is ideal vs. shoulder fired IR missiles which tend to be pretty simplistic in sensing ability. But against the long-wave IR sensors, it reflects a lot of engine heat in a way which is kinda unhelpful. The F-117's V-tail also has some unfortunate long/mid band IR characteristics, in that it reflects exhaust heat down at the ground. I think the F-117 prototype version which used an A shaped tail fin arrangement would have been better in terms of IR performance. But it's painted so as to be less reflective, and at that time, most IR sensors were high-band. Another advantage of the F-4/15/18/22/35(and A-10), having "extra" rear mounted tail planes, is that it gives more control leverage vs. the planes center of gravity. To be fair, I think in the F-4/15/18, the IR advantages may not have been the motivation, but rather the control leverage. The A-10 is the first plane which I think might have been "trying" to obfuscate it's exhaust plume. It's possible the A-10 was merely trying to protect the engines from small arms fire into it's openings though. Radar-wise, the A-10 has an enormous RCS, which calls into question whether the IR vs ground enemies was a conscious consideration. For example, the wings hide the fan blades from ground radar, but the straight wings (at 90 degrees to the fuselage), and extensive external ordinance & protruding gun, make it extremely visible on radar anyway. I think they were just trying to protect the engines from physical damage.

It's very difficult to reliably eliminate those from enemy defenses in SEAD, so CAS would have to be on guard vs. those in particular, even if it's radar signature is huge. I know attack helicopters similarly focus on IR stealth while largely ignoring radar stealth for the same reason.

The Russians basically overlooked or ignored IR signature VLO on the Su-57. Its engine nacelles are not insulated, there are no air ducts, and the nozzles hang out in the breeze. Same for RF VLO. It has some RCS reduction, but not into the VLO category. It's more of a Eurocanard killer than a competitor with the F-22. The Chinese J-20 does have the IR VLO techniques applied to it around the engines if you look especially at the J-20B, which is in production. They suck at making fighter engines though, and are struggling to field a reliable, high performance turbofan even after decades of trying to reverse-engineer samples they acquired from the 1980s.

Capability of optics reign supreme. Much like in classical photography.

The tails on F-22/18/35/et cetera aren't placed behind the nozzle for screening, it's for manoeuvrability with force BEYOND the thrust point (aided by canted tails which add horizontal forces) WITH the benefit of MIXING the cold air with the exhaust plume while manoeuvring. Creating a dissipation that "smudges" the plum and increasing the differential signatures between it and Decoy Flares as well as erasing the target track from newer missiles which keep track of the original signal and are decoy resistant.

Many sources of EM radiation emitted by a vehicle at high speed - radar, heat (IR detection) and sound. Utilizing acoustics to detect mach cones is also of concern but virtually impossible to "mask" (and become stealth). Therefore, easiest to acknowledge little can be done to eliminate the bow wave and realize detection of a mach cone is well behind the vehicles accounting for speed and altitude. Therefore, supercruise and afterburner away from the target zones after an attack as quickly as possible.

You either forgot to mention or didn't know, that the Spirit's engines' infrared signature has been spotted to be far below what would be expected due to simple positioning. That's because, although entirely unconfirmed, it's stipulated to use an exotic cooling solution consisting of electrically charging the exhaust and utilizing properties of charged air molecules to facilitate heat transfer to specially charged mechanisms with an opposite charge. Supposedly, it's also at the core of one of the myths about the B2 utilizing charged leading edges to help create lift, thereby allowing it a higher capacity and range than would otherwise be possible.

"... _F22 and F23 competition F23 had better performance in almost all cases except for agility_ ..." No. Both the YF-22 and YF-23 were pretty much equal in speed (when fairly comparing both airplanes with the same engines). And regarding stealth, yeah, the YF-23 is said to be the more stealthy of the two, but both projects met the USAF ATF requirements, stealth included, so, the YF-23 advantage in RCS and IR signature was certainly small. And btw... There was no F-23 at the time. And there was no F-22 either. Only the YF-22 and the YF-23.

5:38 well I am no expert but that looks like heat coming from the reaction control system, blowing bleed air to control the aircraft in hover.

The F-35 doesn't have one.. it has 7 .. spread over 2 systems. DAS and EOTS. Primary air search is done with DAS as it can see aircraft and missiles to 15 miles in all 360 degrees to the X, Y and Z axis reliably. But EOTS used for ground attack CAN be used for Forward Air Search in the regime not above the F-35 by more than 5 degrees. In the Block 3 software and above, the EOTS and DAS became integrated and can even talk to Block 2 AIM-9X Sidewinder seeker heads in TWO WAY communication, with the Seeker detecting a target and the Aircraft confirming with Either system (automatically with DAS via pilot inspection and Manually with EOTS by the pilot). Edit for clarity, DAS can see aircraft and missiles further than 15 miles, the furthest I know about is a space X launch at 47 miles and a B-1B in full burner at "over 30 miles"... 15 miles is the reliable range for aircraft in any aspect to the DAS sensors.

Super video from someone well informed . Does Aeronautic is your line of work or are you just ultra passionate about the subject? or both. I really enjoy your channel , it make me less stupid... yes, i know, that's not much of a challenge. But anyway , thanks for spending time producing those mini documentaries.

I can see them developing sensors to detect the pressure waves as an aircraft moves through the air.

While using the fuel as a heat sink and than cooling the fuel seems a good idea I think this only realy works for the body of the aircraft especially as ir detectors get more sensitive. I mean it would be a bit difficult to cool the nose the wingtips, the tail or the engine this way. The heat plume is several hundred degrees hot, I dont think one can hide it from these detectors when a modern thermal camera can see a man walking like 10km away. Also those cooling inlets on the 35 should degrade its radar stealth a bit. Dont know if its worth it.

I'm a bit confused by the chart on 7:06. Specifically the absorption of UV light, I thought that was done by I3 instead of O2. Maybe a typo?

All this technology is essentially irrelevant. DEW is the new game. It not only exists, it is used both in the acute and systematic mode literally everyday. Airborne, space borne, ground based, we have it all. Please do a video about DEW weapons, it would surprise a lot of people I think.

excellent video yet again! many thanks for it Why cant the exhaust be spread over a long narrow front for example the width of the tail plane by some mechanism. The wider surface area will have a diffusing effect. seems with rectangular and round exhausts the flow of hot air volume is not mitigated?
@deth30213 жыл бұрын
Wouldn't the low bypass engine also increase the effectiveness of the afterburner as there is more o2? Similar to the sr71 engines?
