Weirdly enough, many programs are getting the same architecture of 3 drones or UAV/UCAV configuration. It reminds me directly of the FCAS program, which is the other European 6th gen fighter project lead by Dassault with its partners AirBus, Thales, MBDA, Indra, SNECMA, SAFRAN, etc ... The FCAS is ambitious too, but in a more realistic way.

Augmented/virtual reality will definitely help a lot with integration of the ever growing complex information. I used to fly small aircrafts, so I wondered about analog instruments disappearing from the modern cockpits even in a backup role. They are basically gone, Russians kept some, but generally it's all digital electronics and LCD, OLED or whatever flat, buttons and knobs are replaced with touch screens. And they seem to get bigger with less redundancy. HUDs still relevant, but no longer mandatory, while VR/AR helmets are on raise. I personally think there are 2 main practical reasons aside of benefits in information processing: 1) increased reliability - modern displays and electronics became more reliable than analog/mechanical instruments and they handle high stresses, vibrations etc. better than sensitive mechanical devices, so if there is any backup, it's also electronic. 2) whole fly-by-wire, increasing role of the computers in flight - just imho, if the situation in the futuristic jet fighter would get so bad that a pilot relied on a set of analog/mechanical backups, which would otherwise be considered a generous instrument set in a small simple aircraft on VFR.. I'd eject immediately :D Btw I think they actually keep HOTAS in Tempest as the last stand of traditional physical controls, while the rest seems very minimalistic, indeed waiting for the next generation of pilots.

Using the turbine for heatsink is genius. - the bypass air is cooling the exhaust as it's adding to the thrust and if you heat it 2-3 degrees before mixing with exhaust won't effect the heat signature but you will have a constant efficient heat dispersion for the onboard avionics that produce a lot of heat.

[@notsoserious0944]

Aircraft, like automobiles are becoming increasingly more expensive to design, build, and operate. The slavish devotion to stealth is also making them of decreasing utility as their stealthy payload shrinks. It remains to be seen if, say an F35 sortie would prevail over a reasonably equipped, numerically superior enemy willing to absorb the limited damage the F35 can inflict. Compound that with unmanned (stealthy or not) essentially throw away air to air drones and I don't know if there will be a gen 6.

[@Asghaad]

problem is, that no airforce today can "absorb the limited damage" as you call it ... you cant just do URRAAA charge in the air because the F35s would just destroy most of your non-stealth attack force from relatively safe distance then just pull back to rearm under cover of second wave of non-stealth / ground based AAA only to do the same thing in few hours. Stealth is HUGE advantage in air to air combat making defeating radar guided ordnance frankly trivial, just making a viable lock on any stealth platform is difficult enough, now imagine what employing basic defensive maneuvers does to the missile that can hardly lock on to the target in the first place.

[@notsoserious0944]

@@Asghaad The F35 can't lose the BVR fight because it can't carry an internal AIM9. It also has to turn and run on time if things don't go its way because it is slow. If it is facing a flight of SU27s with a dozen R77-whatevers on each aircraft, things had better go perfectly or the F35 with four missiles is in trouble. The F35 does appear to be doing a great job as an F117-type attack aircraft for Israel. If it can easily defeat anything, nearly effortlessly, as you believe, I think that would be great. But I doubt it.

[@Asghaad]

@@notsoserious0944 dozens of missiles that cant ever lock onto the target might as well be a ballast weight ... purpose of stealth is to NOT to get into VVR... secondly the F35s will be shadowed and covered by F22s ... same advantages as F35, much higher performance and will absolutely roflstomp any 4th gen fighter (remember when you see F22 lose in training excercises they mount special equipment to nullify the stealth and are usually put in unfavorable position the jet will never be in real combat. Now imagine what will happen when British F35s start flinging Meteors instead of AMRAAMS xD

[@notsoserious0944]

@@Asghaad You do know that the F35 will have to defend a missile heading its way? IOW, if a threat is coming your way, locked on or no, the pilot will go defensive. You also seem to think we have a lot more F22s than we actually have. You do know that our Air Force is actively buying more "legacy" airframes? Why?

[@Asghaad]

@@notsoserious0944 except there wont be missile going its way because F35s will be firing at distances opposition cannot get viable targetting solution... if they fire blind all they will be doing is wasting the missiles because active radar missile being fired without viable lock against targets that you dont even know from which direction they are coming from (you do know that ONE F35 can guide other planes in the vicinity which can be aproaching the enemy from completely different direction right ? ...) has about ZERO chance of successfully acquiring a lock afterwards ... it would be like throwing darts at target 50 meters away BLINDFOLDED and hoping to score perfect bullseye ... as for F22s there are about 180-ish in service (to be precise 187 operational craft + 8 testbeds with 5 crashes meaning there are still at least 182 production Raptors in service not counting the test planes) with and Airforce is buying more "legacy" airframes because F22s are expensive to operate and unnecessary at the moment as the enemies US is facing kinda lack any proper airforces ... which is why they are investing in legacy airframes that are more than enough to deal with anything they are expected to face ... also there is that little thing of F22 having no equal in the air even more than 20 years after it was put into service... there isnt a nation n this planet that put sufficient enough number of comparable fighters into service to warrant any worry as currently those are barely out of prototype stage and not expected to be put into service in any relevant numbers for years to come as they are simply too expensive to produce and maintain.

You can put some heat exchangers in this bypass and heat up the flow (just as the combustion chamber does but without spending any fuel $$$) and get some extra thrust. I think the spitfire had a similar concept, but this time they're taking advantage of the compressor and a higher heat input.

[@123Andersonev]

why do you need vectoring or a heat sink when you are using FLAVIIR?, also they won't be removing the stick, the point of it obviously is the software vs hardware upgradability, if it's not function critical, removing it removes the main maintenance cost overheads and facilitates upgradability with software version updates vs physical hardware, also the final version of the lanca will hopefully be able to finally get the name designation "spitfire" as hypothetically an air superiority AI driven drone in a swarm formation that can pull more g's than a human laden aircraft effectively smokes any exclusively human piloted counterpart.

In its first public assessment of the programme to build a replacement for the UK Royal Air Force's (RAF's) Typhoon combat aircraft, the IPA gave the project an amber/red risk rating, saying there are “major risks or issues apparent in a number of key areas”. For the first time, the scale of UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) funding for Tempest was revealed to be GBP9.46 billion.

wil we get a video on the FCAS program? (they would have been better off calling it " the European FACS" XD )

[@uegvdczuVF]

There is *the* European FCAS and it's not this. It's a joined program of Germany, France and Spain.

By the time the Tempest goes into production the electronics will already be badly outed. Just how much testing is required for fighter jets?

[@mikewade777]

How can it be outdated if the technology doesn't exist yet. That is like saying that the F-35 technology is outdated. Yet very little is known about it and there's no evidence that it's outdated

[@Renegade-Master-88]

Looks like a great team of contributors

[@miltonturney453]

Nice design

[@Akelehimarenge]

Wow lithium Ion or other kind of solid state 🔋 to store energy similar to MGU - H and MGU - K in F1.

[@shaider1982]

Also a recent Japanese submarine

[@suokkos]

They also plan to adapt F1 technology to remove turbo lag.

[@ravener96]

Remove turbo lag? Do you mean engine spool time? I find that very hard to believe.

[@johncheresna]

Thanks

[@Kevlar67476]

[@luislealsantos]
