what a sexy p;lane though. It's so simple, but has pretty good capabilities. It's so basic bitch it i bet you could afford to maintain a private one in a better world
It ought to be illegal to design something this sex.

Well, they tried but they could't quite meet the same perfection this time around.

I wanted to post the Viggen, but she is taken.
So here we go, a small Italian/Hue attack jet that also can be traced back to the swedish mid 80s B3LA project.

My god it suits the warthog so well, even going back to Gulf War 1 when the USAF tried replacing it with a 30mm gun pod mount on the F-16.

I can't wait until the AJS-37 is released for DCS. The day it's released, I'll strip naked, don my Oculus Rift, douse myself in baby oil and sink so many russkie ships in the balstic sea that you can walk from Gotland to Estonia.

ah back in the good ole days of Raptor test equipment
they rivet ridden panels are for test pieces. A combat ready Raptor would have smooth panels and extremly tight panel gaps. In fact the panel gaps in that picture kind of make me think it's fake but idk. personally, if that pic is real, I think its a security risk to the project to have a picture that close and that high res

>>29895958
why is aesa not better?
>>29894856
Looks like someone swapped the On-Mark 8 gun nose for the glass nose. Which is stupid because it's impossible to get into the nose of an On-Mark B-26k from the cockpit.
You would have to rip out the right seat, right control yoke, right seat pedals, and modify the structure along with the instrument panel. And make it a single pilot airplane.
>>29895958
kek you're delusional. We invented the damn thing in the 80's and had it implemented in our spy planes by the early 90's.
Also AESA is objectively better than PESA. The Active part in AESA just means it can send out signal instead of just listening to your enemies like a PESA. An AESA can also be PESA if it wanted to. However a passive PESA system can only listen, which does jack shit for you when your enemy isnt talking.

>>29895958
>Implying any AESA is better than any PESA
It is. Perhaps only marginally, but still better. But both are light-years beyond mechanically-steered radar.
>>29895996
Both are electronically-steered, so the main benefit is common to both. They can both scan extremely quickly.
But AESA does have quite a few smaller advantages over the typical PESA radar as well, mostly owing to the fact that each module is an independent transmitter-receiver (in contrast to the central transmitter, and usually receiver, of a PESA). AESAs are inherently very flexible and multifunction, since the entire array can easily be divided into independent subarrays. AESA is electrically simpler (less wiring), more reliable and is largely immune to single-point failures by virtue of its decentralized architecture. The signal mixers and phase-shifters in a PESA involve noise, so AESA generally has a ~6 dB receive noise factor advantage. To PESAs' credit PESAs usually use large magnetrons, klystrons or TWTs as a central source, which are relatively efficient and powerful. AESAs on the other hand must use solid-state transmitters to achieve the necessary level of miniaturization - but on the upside, these are generally capable of rapid frequency modulation and hopping.
It is possible to build an advanced "hybrid" PESA (like the IRBIS-E) with almost all the advantages of an AESA, but generally this is not the case with a PESA.
>>29896085
>The Active part in AESA just means it can send out signal instead of just listening to your enemies like a PESA.
That's not what the "passive" in PESA means, numbnuts. Both types are capable of transmitting "actively." The difference is, with an AESA array, each phased array module contains its own tiny transmitter (and is hence "active,") while in a PESA the elements are "passively" fed by a central transmitter which they then "passively" phase-shift and radiate.
Next time you want to opine on something you don't know about... don't.
>>29886501
herp derp, why does that plane looks like it's falling apart under it's own weight?
>>29898799
>It is possible to build an advanced "hybrid" PESA (like the IRBIS-E) with almost all the advantages of an AESA, but generally this is not the case with a PESA.
Yet this was the case with Zaslon, hence the comment emphasizing its advancement. It was due to its hybrid nature and immense power output to some extent better than the first small AESA radars and by far the best PESA out there only outperformed by Irbis-E.
I've got an exam in an hour and a fuckin Eurofighter has turned up and is currently tearing the sky apart. So definitely not the Eurofighter.
