Promising aviation complex distant aviation (PAK DA): Russian strategic bomber-rocket carrier of new generation

How Soon shall we marvel at the excellent creation of our designers and the promising aviation complex of distant aircraft get not model, but real shapes? His predecessors have already demonstrated at MAKS-2017 in the town of Zhukovsky, although promised them representation in 2018. of Course, it's still not the all anticipated aircraft, but the Tu-160M2 already impressed the audience in full. Flight of the PAK DA in the first test instance is expected only in 2020, but to look at the outline of a "flying wing" is now considered a model, at the same time and learn from the experts about the quality recently approved a new set of engines thrust in TS 23.

The Engine

The So-called "Article 80" was developed by a Corporation, and now working with sketches completed. This is a numbered item is a project engine, which will incur a promising aviation complex long-range aviation, the constant subject of talks and debates to the General public, for the most part from aviation and development far. However, concerned about the emergence of a new plane virtually everyone. Probably very few people in Russia who would not expect impatiently, when will the prospective aviation complex long-range aviation, and don't watch the progress in this direction.

So the United engine Corporation notified the public that a draft design on this engine is adopted, and the group of designers have begun to develop working documentation of this remarkable aircraft. Deputy defense Minister after the adoption of the draft design informed the press that the timing of full readiness of the PAK DA is a bit postponed. For the first time his plan to raise in the air only seven or eight years, and mass production will begin in 2029.

Description

The Strategic bomber, which is developed KB "Tupolev" to protect the future of our country, promising aviation complex long-range aviation will have many advantages over all currently existing military aircraft. He will take as many weapons, and with it, to remain invisible in the sky and be able to use absolutely any airports.

On the flight characteristics of the PAK DA - the plane beyond any bombers ever came to light. It longer than others will be able to patrol, on duty in the air to take off and land in all conditions, it has the best load capacity. But the demands on flight speed even the Deputy Minister Yuri Borisov did not consider very significant because aircraft weapons received new features. This paragraph of his report literally stirred the public concerned.

About the features of the new bomber

The Conversation took place at the Kazan aviation plant, where Borisov has arrived with a working visit. The reason for this wonderful visit in Kazan began to collect the first upgraded Tu-160M2, which, according to experts, is intermediate between the existing long-range aviation, and that will consist of a promising aviation complex distant aviation (PAK DA). Here at this meeting with the workers and hear concrete information about the creation of a new bomber.

Here again will be the use of new technology: our experts have mastered the Titan, the material is heavy-duty and ultra-light. The fuselages of all the Tu-160 was produced using this method, which is still being developed. If you don't learn more to better cope with the Titan, we will not see such a flying monster, which conceived a promising aviation complex distant aviation (PAK DA).

Appearance

The scheme of this plane - a flying wing - for the Russian aircraft is not traditional. Externally, our PAK DA - plane-twin American Northrop B-2 Spirit, also heavy and stealth strategic bomber. The difference is that our "die Fledermaus" will have a titanium fuselage and a huge amount of plastic (composite) parts. It created a passenger liner MS-21, and it worked very well. The construction of the aircraft provided for the creation of udlinenno wing, which is made of plastic - is also ultra-strong and ultralight. Compared to Boeing or Airbus, our experience is much more economical.

But back to the PAK DA. The bomber has a previously inaccessible aerodynamic capabilities due to the special fuselage. Yuri Borisov stressed that long-range aviation requirements aircraft change quickly. Do not need supersonic speed with access to near-space, because there is no need of a breakthrough of echeloned defenses. So can Tu-160 and will do a great job Tu-160M2. But the strategic bombardirovshik the PAK DA will be subsonic, it will not be able to develop a speed greater than the brainchild of the sixties - Tu-95.

"heavenly slug"

This view of the situation thereexplanation, and it is quite reasonable. Especially in terms of Finance. And indeed, now that the missiles shoot faster, further, here-here will reach hypersonic. Why force the plane to do what he, in principle, do not necessarily? Moreover, it is optional so expensive. Russian bomber PAK DA in operation is literally cheaper than any supersonic car. It is not intended to break with the battle through the defense, air Arsenal, slowly loitering in the airspace.

PAK DA (Tupolev) will carry long-range cruise missiles are absolutely lethal to their stock. For example, X-555 and Х101 that fly from three to five thousand kilometers. But there is another - the latest, as they say, is superior to all that she was, but the specifics are still secret. In the fighter appeared the same trend concerning high-speed performance. For example, the F-22 Raptor, a fifth generation fighter, he has exceptional maneuverability and supersonic speed, but neither he, probably, is not useful, because not expected in modern military operations close combat. No guns will speak, and the rocket, and enter the zone of enemy air defenses is not necessary.

When?

When industrial production goes our new aircraft PAK DA sixth generation? In the military believe that not so soon, because the first thread will set the restored Tu-160 in its new form. Is the Tu-160M2, and before the aviation industry the challenge is repeated in the further use and technological approaches and equipment to not pay twice for development and production. And the information about the Tu-160M2 has officially given at the MAKS-2017: production began, and service in the armed forces he will arrive in 2021. Planned on the Tu-160M2 avionics need the maximum to migrate to the strategic bomber, the PAK DA. Only the hull and engines are different. The project therefore reduces the cost as possible.

The Americans, working his bomber Next Generation Bomber in the nineties, the final date of production is called the 2035. PAK DA first developed in 2008, and the Stakhanovite pace of its creation is clearly not. First, because there is no war, where he would be urgent, and secondly, the price of this project is truly a giant. Yet it is estimated thirty-five billion dollars. In the US just for the design work spent ten, and how much you have to invest in General, even do not know about. Therefore, do not hurry, neither we nor them. And military believe that until you fly Next Generation Bomber, and our PAK DA to postpone the appearance.

Features

The Size of the new bomber will be impressive: take-off weight maximum is 110 tons. For example, the Tu-160 this option 275 tons, of which only the fuel weighs 148. The range of the PAK DA, is designated in the terms of reference, twelve and a half thousand kilometers and a payload weight of thirty tons. It is not enough. The Tu-160 picks up forty-one ton of missiles and bombs, but the B-2 Spirit - only twenty-two.

The chief of the HQs of the Russian Federation explained that in this complex is mostly not the aircraft and its equipment. The complex will carry missiles with a range of up to seven thousand kilometers, who themselves decide where, when, and at what altitude and what speed to fly. The plane - just a means of getting to the area where it will be a start. In addition, PAK DA will carry not only strategic missiles, but other weapons - high-precision, and the details regarding its characteristics, have not been disclosed.

Familiar and new

The Engines for the new bomber was developed in the Samara company Kuznetsov. The base was the engine NK-32, the one installed on our strategic Tu-160 bombers. Pryedpriyatiya of the concern KRET is already developing avionics for the PAK DA. Under the General agreement with the aircraft manufacturers created the unified Board. In the design work of KRET, is also involved.

As already mentioned, technology will be used and tested, and quite new. Some devices and systems are drawn from the latest developments that showed the highest efficiency and reliability. Brand new will be sighting navigation in the complex, means of communication, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare.

Experts Say

U.S. experts believe that the new military aircraft Russia is necessary for samples to maintain dominance in nuclear attitude. In the United States is already in service nineteen the invisible bomber B-2 Spirit. And now a word for Russia - whether in 2025 commissioned twelve PAK DA first squadron? A military expert from Romania Valentin Vasilescu'm sure it will be, but it is possible that before.

Next NATO experts discussed the technical characteristics of the future Russian bombardirovshik. They know that, most likely, Russia will make a new bomber similar to American B-2 Spirit, invisible to radar. Hypersonic aircraft have much less flexibility and have greater inertia, and therefore the engine of the PAK DA will probably have great traction, too, in exactly the same way as is done on American bombers.

Assumptions

The Design of the PAK DA was discussed by experts in detail, and perhaps too wordy. The main idea was that in this respect, Russiaborrowed the concept from his own fifth generation fighter T - 50, and the cockpit will be made in the style of "man - machine interface" (MMI concept). This will allow you to lift the plane without the intervention of the crew, automatically.

In the cabin must have a digital display Electronic Flight Instrument System with LCD color display for each of the two pilots that will provide the electronic interface for flight control. The use of technology "stealth" brings some limitations in the design of the aircraft. The PAK DA will be night flying, so the role of the onboard sensors is significantly increased, and hypersonic speed manual control eliminates. Conclusion: the bomber can be, and would be good, but in Russia it is the good will (they probably don't know that it will not have PAK DA hypersonic speed).

Will the PAK DA advantages?

Experts are not sure what will. The body of the aircraft with a special coating will require literally ten times more time to service than conventional bombers. And most importantly, the PAK DA will not be able to get an advantage over the aviation complex of radio-location and guidance (AWACS).

However, such benefits will be. PAK does not have any attachment points or places for bombs and rockets under the wings, and this negates the impact of the radar. A full Arsenal of weapons locked up tightly. And the case - special coating. Will not see his radar.

In addition, even our bombers of the fifth generation provided the so-called marine mode, and here the Russian pilots have the advantage because their experience of flying in the Arctic are enormous. And with this NATO experts, on reflection, agreed, remembering how the two Tu-160 (strategic bombers) thirteen hours of flying without refueling from the Russian city of Engels in Venezuela.
