Chinese Aircraft Stealth bomber Xian H-8

The H-8 is a secret strategic bomber, a stealth aircraft plane for China and in step with the “Fenghuang Tower” the H-8 is reported to start trial flights from January 5th, 2011. The Chinese leadership was present in full strength comprising the Central Military Committee officers, air force logistics department officers, national defense science and business committee, Xi’an deputy mayor and the provincial party committee assistant deputy secretary for inauguration of the project.



The H-8 bomber was a Chinese military aircraft that was a possible successor to the Xian H-6 twin-engine jet bomber. The prototype aircraft was reported to be an enlarged version of the H-6 with under-wing engines, but that the project was canceled in the early Seventies before the bomber went into production. The Chinese military incorporates a stealth bomber called Xian H-8 that has four Ws-10A engines derived from Russian and US technology. The engines are made up of carbon fiber and coated with special nanotechnology. The Xian H-8 incorporates a max speed of Mach one.2 and carries stealth missiles in its cargo bay and might can also carry nuclear missiles. China is currently developing stealth fighters like J-XX and J-13 (which is predicated on the J-10).



The H-8 can have four turbo-fan engines, the core of that is predicated on the WS-10A. Weapons can embody 12 “red birds” or 3 cruise missiles distribute in two weapons bays. each of the cruise missiles could use a nuclear warhead and might fire from a distance of 3,000 kilometers. It may also use a number of alternative weapons as well as laser guided “thunder stone” half dozen, satellite steerage bomb and anti-ship missile, amongst others.



The H-8 bomber is a Stealth, strategic, and serious bomber all rolled into one. It carries a crew of two and will fly as fast as Mach one.4, incorporates a vary of 11,000 kilometers (without refueling), and might carry over eighteen tonnes of bomb load. It can carry twelve Stealth cruise missiles (each with a range of 3,000 km) on each of the two weapons bays. It may carry an additional three nuclear missiles (350-kilotons each). The bomber are going to be mass-produced and will enter active service in the PLAAF by 2010. The bomber can replace the recent H-6 bombers that the PLAAF have in active service.

TD-2 Indian Light Combat Helicopter

TD-2 Indian Light Combat Helicopter

Another important milestone was to achieve the Indian state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). According to our sources the HAL helicopter program development insignia light combat helicopter (LCH) second prototype TD-2 (Technology Demonstrator) achieved its first flight at 1500hrs IST. This is a huge boost for the program in this prototype is expected to be a version in arms.

The nature of this test flight is not yet clear but it is believed that the helicopter made low level float similar to the first test flight of LCH TD-1. The TD-2 also has a lot of Indians tickets Army digital camouflage specific as revolutionary. Also, the TD-2 is 100kgs lighter than the TD-1. TD-2 is also equipped with a fully functional takeover target and the sight of a pod pilots have not been seen in TD-1.

Plan to develop an attack helicopter was completed in October 2006 after the design concept developed by HAL was approved by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force. Need a platform of modern attack helicopter was felt by the Indian military in the late 90's when their attack helicopter fleet comprises some 30 Russian Mi-24 and Mi-35 proved to be useless in height and lacked the sophistication necessary for modern warfare complex. It was decided to develop an attack helicopter that can meet the unique and different from the Army and Air Force.

PAK-DA Russian New Stealth Bomber

PAK-DA Russian New Stealth Bomber

The prosecutor PAK (or PAK-DA) is a new generation strategic bomber being developed by Russia. It stands for Kompleks Aviatsionnyi Dalney Perspektivnyi Aviatsyi (Перспективный авиационный комплекс дальней авиации in Russian) which means the future of air Complex Strategic Air Forces. The prosecutor PAK will be largely based on current Russian supersonic bomber Tu-160 and is expected to be its first flight in 2015.



Russian Air Force has made tactical and technical requirements for a new generation of strategic bombers, Interfax news agency reported.



According to the Russian Air Force Commander Alexander Zelin, work on a new bomber has already begun. "The requirements are formulated, and many companies are implementing plans" - says Zelin.



Reportedly, the aircraft being developed under the project DA PAK (future aviation complex long-distance aircraft) is calculated based on the construction of a Tu-160 supersonic bombers. According to experts, the creation of a new aircraft will take 5 to 8 years, and the first flight of the bombers are expected from 2015.

Japan 5th Generation Fighters Jet ATD-X ShinShin

Japan 5th Generation Fighters Jet ATD-X ShinShin

The Mitsubishi ATD-X Shinshin is a Japanese plane being developed by the Ministry of Defense Technical Research and Development (TRDI) for research purposes. ATD-X is an acronym that represents the "Advanced Technology Demonstrator - X". Japanese name of the aircraft is Shin-shin, which means "what one thinks." The main contractor is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and this plane will be used as a technology demonstrator prototype and the internal investigation to determine whether advanced technologies for a fifth-generation fighter aircraft are viable. The inaugural flight is scheduled for 2014. The design of the aircraft reflects those of several U.S. fighters fourth and fifth generation, especially the F-22 Raptor.

The aircraft also features 3D thrust vectoring a 3 blades in each engine nozzle. Your radar will be an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar called "Multifunction RF Sensor", whose goal is to have broad-spectrum agility. The nozzles on the prototype seems to be discovered and may have a slight adverse effect on the characteristics of stealth aircraft. Japan is ready to develop its own new generation of stealth fighter jets to reduce its dependence on foreign technology and counter similar moves in China and Russia.Japan, who wants to replace its fleet of combat, has also made overtures to Washington on the possibility purchase U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighter.However, the U.S. Congress has repeatedly banned the sale of aircraft to any foreign government in an attempt to safeguard the advanced technology of their country.

The Japanese Defense Ministry now aims to test its own prototype stealth aircraft, advanced control system and radar-jamming device - within five years, the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper reported. A model-has already undergone preliminary ground tests in France, the report said. Japan, the Ministry has given a go at this project with several billions of yen (several million dollars to several million euros) so developers will begin work to flight testing, with production of about 10. Reports also say that there was a possible U.S. involvement Lockheed Martin in the development of ATD-X.

Japan hopes to have its own domestic stealth fighter jet would mean it would not have to rely on foreign governments for key military technology. Homegrown capabilities caution is also likely to help Japan improve their radar systems to cope with their regional rivals China and Russia, which are in the process of developing their own stealth aircraft. Japan's air force has been searching for replacements for its fleet of F-4. Options include three US-made planes - the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the F-18 and F-15 advanced - as well as the Eurofighter Typhoon.However a purchase from Washington has been hindered by the ban on exports of aircraft F-22, imposed in part by the reluctance to share sensitive military technology with foreign governments.

Loss of the Japanese navy computers recent data from a joint U.S. and Japanese Aegis radar system has also spurred U.S. concerns on the exchange of information with Tokyo. Japan and the U.S. just signed a military pact that strengthens data protection controls on the handling of classified information from some of the other armies.

The move comes the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, aims to strengthen the country's defense coordination with the United States. Washington also has about 50,000 troops in Japan, its main ally in Asia, under a mutual security pact

B-1B Lancer Long-Range Strategic Bomber
