PAK DA

perspective aviation complex long-range aircraft.

The main long-range aviation aircraft, a draft of subsonic bomber in a "flying wing" based on the operating time on the far anti-aircraft eighties Tu-202.

One compartment with dimensions 10h2h2 meter allows you to place a standard multi-position installation ejection of six cruise missiles H-101/102 or X-555, the weight of the load along with ISU - 16600 kg.

Radius - 7000 km, respectively ferry range 14000 - 16000 km.Thus the range of the missile complex X-101 up to 12,500 km.

Presumably, the power plant on the basis of four without afterborners "izd.117" from NPO "Saturn" traction 4 x 8870 - 9800 kgs.Air intakes under the front edge of the wing, like the U.S. attack aircraft A-12 .

Maximum takeoff weight in the class of TU-22M, 118000 - 130000 kg.

The project is being built prototype.

The appearance of a new long-range aviation aircraft of the Russian Federation

will be determined by the end of the year.

Research integrated development activities in the promising range of long-range aircraft of the Russian Federation is scheduled for completion in 2010, told reporters on Tuesday, a representative of the military-industrial complex.
According to him, are developing the second year, and it's unclear in what form the complex will be formed:

"We would like to receive and Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95", - told reporters on Tuesday Deputy Defense Minister for Armaments, Vladimir Popovkin.

"If there is a supersonic aircraft, it will not replace these two aircraft, if subsonic, then we lose something, but the aircraft will replace two aircraft at once. There is no simple answer," - he said.
Modernized strategic bombers Tu-160 can replace the long-term development of a new set of long-range aviation, 
"The Americans have decided to extend the life of B-52 to 70 years. We are not richer than them," - he said, answering the question is whether the work on modernization of the Tu-160 or the development of promising new complex long-range aviation.

 Russian aircraft designers, prepare bomber

5th Generation

Russian aircraft designers are developing a bomber of the 5th generation, the newspaper "Izvestia".On this, the journalists told the Strategic Air Command of the Russian Federation Igor Khvorov.
"There are about 10 different projects - said Khvorov. - But the final decision, how exactly will this plane is still pending. Nevertheless, we are inclined, based on the ratio of" cost-effective, "the creation of a new aircraft based on the Tu-160 ".
According Khvorova, the potential for the Tu-160 is only used by 60%."This suggests that the concept of this machine - it is far from being exhausted and it is necessary to develop - he stressed. - For example, an American bomber B-52, although the shape and out of date, but within him a brand new electronics, and therefore resource the aircraft, has been extended to 40 years. We think along the same path. "
Khvorov also said that the combat capabilities of strategic aviation aircraft, you can use them to fight the terrorist threat.
"Strategic aviation is considered by the country not only as an element of deterrence, but also as a preemptive - punishing blow to the terrorists in different parts of the world - he said. - These bombers like the Tu-160 and Tu-95MS bombers, were created by using cruise missiles, long-range nuclear warheads. But do not forget that we have to carry bombs bombers - Tu-22M3 bombers. "
"Now we are deep modernization of the Tu-160 under the possibility of using the usual - a non-nuclear weapons - also reported ailments. - For once he picks up 40 tonnes of bomb load. That is, can carry as many bombs as an entire squadron of Tu-22M3 . So if we received an order to fly out and "cover", the strength and resources we have. "
Khvorov also said that in 2004 adopted Russian missile, received brand new cruise missiles, long-range non-nuclear equipment.

22/12/04 - Tape

---------

In the nineties more distant then Air Force Commander Deinekin dreamed of a new, low-cost bomber to replace the Tu-22M and Tu-160: "... versatile medium bomber (SME or MFSB), strategic aircraft with the big strike capabilities, lower visibility and value. .. ".

Perhaps he meant "the object of 54C," which, after suspending operations in 1991, again tried to start production in the harsh 1994.Although in fairness it should be noted that this revolutionary machine as a whole could not replace the Tu-160 because of the limited flight range.

In 1999 it was announced to start work on a project to replace the strategic bomber Tu-95MS and Tu-160, and the unreality of the establishment in the near future medium bomber.Under the plan the new machine would be ready by 2010.By this time, it became clear that to bring the 20-ton engine AL-41F (izd.20) is not possible and this fact is automatically closed the way to heaven "object 54C" and the MiG 1.42 and S-37.

What is a "medium bomber" in the current conditions are difficult to understand: the Su-34 and Tu-22M, or somewhere in between?At various times, fall into this category Sat, Tu-16 Tu-22, IL-54, B-58 "Hustler" and the Tu-22M, though the latter officially known as "distant" (practical range 7,000 km).

That is the concept of "strategic" means the range of at least 12,000 km, the Tu-160 - 14000 km.

Based on the forecast for the period 1992 - 2027's Russia can not afford:

5 strategic bombers Tu-160 with a total cost of 1.2 billion dollars.For 2007, delivered two newly-built aircraft (at the Kazan aviation plant still had 4 - 5 bombers in varying degrees of readiness).

And the 100 promising bomber cost about $ 100 million apiece.Price development of such a machine could reach 35 billion dollars.Also in the forecast is defined and the maximum takeoff weight PAKDA - no more than 125 tons, which puts it in the niche occupied by the Tu-22M now.The first flight of the newly designed machines to be expected in the period 2015 - 2021 year.Then for the program to build 100 bombers in 2027 the pace of delivery of new vehicles should be 10 - 12 pcs.per year or a month.

Obviously, the project PAK DA must resolve several issues, including:

- The answer to the development of "regional bomber" in the U.S.

- Replace the aging Tu-22M ,

- Addition, and perhaps in the future and the replacement of the Tu-160 .

As far as the promising American bomber will be supplied to the troops in 2018, which is consistent with plans to supply PAK DA (development program designed to 2015).American car is the "interim" until in 2030 the revolutionary aircraft (as far as "revolutionary" is not defined yet).

What is he, PAK DA?

Stated that the new aircraft continues to the ideology of the Tu-160 and will not be like an American stealth bomber B -2 .

Similar B -2 was suspended in the mid-90s.This is called the Tu-202 ,

I believe that a semblance of competition will take place."Dry" presumably will offer further development of the theme of "Bomber - 90" in which he was a principal developer of "MiG" can develop the idea of ​​a hypersonic aircraft, the good work in this area they have, and "Tupolev" will offer further development of the Tu-22M , 150 ton, twin-engine aircraft with variable sweep wing - "half" of Tu-160.

Great revolution in our time of formation of the economy, from the new machine should not be expected, the big money, high risk now or who do not need.Again, happy "Uncle Sam" has decided to postpone the "revolution" before 2030.Therefore, PAK DA will be a brilliant representative of an advanced fifth generation, the generation of "5 +" for him in the possibility of unmanned job.It is possible that the new bomber will be close to linking the "object 54C", only problem is that to date no suitable engine, twin-engine machines for this class is required motor with a thrust of 25 tons.

A few years ago there was talk of a draft of a new motor with 25 000 kg afterburning thrust ("Union"), but today on the subject dried up even rumors.Can deep modernization of the D-30F6 with an increase in thrust to that level, as well as a new stage in the life of the P-79.According to recent data on the basis of the last modification of the promise to create a thrust of about 22 tons.

In the case of a PAK DA is yet another important caveat - "superkruiz."Sverhzvukovaya cruising speed - one of the cornerstones of the "fifth generation".What to bring this option in a bomber with a maximum takeoff weight of 125 tons to acceptable values ​​of M = 1.5 - 2.0 (1600 - 2100 km / h) is necessary to have thrust of 0.5.In our case, this would require a total thrust of 62 tons (2 x 31 m).Today and in the near future occurrence of such engines should not wait.What do you do?

One of the areas to develop advanced multirole fighter (PAKFA, T-50, I-21) is to develop and launch into production a new engine AL-41F1, or "izd117S."Augmented power it is small, only 15 500 kg. Because of the take-off weight of the new fighter, but to date its construction has been used all the best of established domestic designers.It goes this engine is optimized for a long flight at supersonic speeds without afterburner turn.

So, in need of 62 tons of thrust "amazing" way, stacked 4 "izd.117S."The advantages of this solution are obvious, the unification of the PAK FA , Sukhoi Su-34 , and possibly with LMFS(currently in the project have the option of installing two RD-33 + instead of one of the AL-41F1.)

This motor, in order to misinformation which bears the name of AL-41F1, most likely in terms of fuel consumption is not much different from the AL-31F engine installed on the Su-27, where this parameter was equal to 1.25 kg / km.We assume that new technologies and improved aerodynamics bomber will bring a flow rate of the engine to 1 kg / km.Then, for strategic-range 12,500 km and four AL-41F1 need about 50000 kg of fuel that is 40% of the maximum takeoff weight - the current level.

According to the program PAKFA final version of the engine should be ready for serial production of the fighter in 2014 - 2015 years : "... he will get a fan with an increased flow of air into the combustion chamber and a new digital control system, which will increase traction, as well as systems and reverse vserakursnogo thrust vector control. "

Ochev bottom that vserakursnoe nozzle for the bomber is not necessary, but the reverse thrust is just consistent with the requirement based on short runways.

And yet .Based on the article "Aviation and the reincarnation of" begs the analogy of our valued PAK DA with an American B-1A.

On the sum of the factors mentioned above believe that doubts about the power plant of the four "articles 117S" for prospective bombers - are irrelevant.

Relative payload bombers reads as follows:

"... The advanced aircraft will be armed with strategic non-nuclear cruise missiles (CD) X-101,HPO " Rainbow "as well as their nuclear option X-102.
The first test-firing missiles X-101 were conducted several years ago.Product Weight - 2200-2400 kg warhead - 400 lbs.X-101 has a maximum range of 5000-5500 km, variable flight profile (height of 30-70 m to 6,000 m), cruising speed 190-200 km / s and a maximum speed of 250-270 m / sec.It can be considered quite subtle aircraft, because the effective surface scattering of X-101, only 0.01 sq. km.m. The missile is equipped with opto-electronic system of correcting the trajectory of the flight, as well as a television guidance system for the final leg of the flight.It provides target accuracy 12-20 m
Another program in the field of long-range missiles, according to British newspaper, is the development of nuclear CR on the basis of X-55cm of new missiles X-555.

Among other weapons intended for Russian strategic bombers and missile considered the X-range CD, in which you want to use some of the nodes X-101, in particular, the guidance system.Work on it at an early stage.
... Hovaya missile X-32, developed HPO "Rainbow" as the X-22 will be equipped with advanced engine and homing.

According to British experts, the Russian bombers for long-range aviation, a new version of the guided bombs KAB-1500 weighing 1500 kg.

Official Russian sources briefed on some of these projects, however, by tradition, abroad write about it in more detail.Analysis of publicly available information on long-range aviation development programs indicates that the command of Air Force committed itself to transforming the strategic and long-range bombers in the multipurpose aircraft capable of operating in both nuclear and non-nuclear conflicts of varying intensity.It should be noted that, as in the U.S. Strategic Air Command, the course taken by giving missile carriers the ability to strike with precision weapons without entering the zone of enemy air defenses.And in the case of the H101 and X-102, the point is that the submarines can launch missiles before they are discovered modern air defense systems, for example, such as the North American HORAD.Incidentally, this implies that under certain conditions, the rapid development of weapons modernization programs of long-range aircraft can be considered as an effective response to the deployment of so-called national missile defense system the United States.

In Russia have started to develop a new generation aircraft for long-range aviation in Russia, the deputy commander of 37th Air Army High Command Strategic Major-General Anatoly Zhikharev. 
"At present, given the tactical and technical specifications for the development of new aviation complex for long-range aircraft, which will be unique in the world" - said Zhikharev. 
Research and development work on this aircraft are included in the budget, the general added. 
"The research and development of new generation aircraft for the current year budget the necessary resources," - he said. 
Speaking about the new aviation complex, the deputy commander explained that "it would be an entirely new plane, which differs from currently available." 
According to him, the aircraft will be able to take off from different types of airports, even underground and short runways, capable of carrying conventional and special precision-guided weapons (missiles and bombs), to overcome any air defense system, to act in any theater of military operations (ground and marine), in any weather and climatic conditions. 
According to Zhikhareva in the production of new aircraft technology will be widely used "stealth", which reduce the effective reflective surface. 
Commenting on the timing the appearance of new generation aircraft, Zhikharev said that "from experience - from the beginning of the financing before entering the army is ten years." 
He added that all depends on the will of the leadership and stability of funding. 
General reiterated that, in addition to creating a new generation aircraft, carried out deep modernization of the long-range aviation aircraft standing on the arms, such as the Tu-160, Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3.He explained that after the upgrade is installed on the aircraft completely new electronic equipment and control systems of air armament.

- To be honest, a little bit strange for the first source of information about supersamolete new generation - Chief Editor FORUM.msk Anatoly Baranov.- Deputy Army Commander, Major General, and no general or at least the chief designer, not an official ministry or federal agency.Not even Air Force Commander, to whose statements exotic gradually had grown accustomed to even the press, and who, according to agencies, the new defense minister has suggested the release of "airspace".I do not preparing a general Zhikharev as the new commander in chief?
"Information is a bit strange - continued Anatoly Baranov. - The budget for the year 2007 marks a major project financing, and it is whatever one may have to be hundreds of millions of dollars, we have found. KiB able to carry out such work, not so much more accurate - only three Tupolev first, Mikoyan and dry. But the signs of the development of fundamentally new fifth-generation aircraft is also not yet been identified, and a top-secret development, after reports about them calmly zamkomanduyuschego army, too hard to believe. Not yet for a new car and engine, and even traces the development of fundamentally new engine. " 
- Instill doubt and declared parameters of the new machine - complete Anatoly Baranov.- Apparently, it must be some very high-speed aircraft - and then suddenly claim to land on shorter, but still unpaved airfields?Why?Only the first Vice-Prime Minister Ivanov said that we even have a new passenger aircraft "Sukhoi" will not be able to sit on all of the existing runway in Russia because of their poor quality.And then long-range bomber of the fifth generation will sit on the ground?Well, a statement of the ability to act on maritime theaters of war - that he will sit on the deck of non-existent in our aircraft carriers?Or will it be a seaplane?All this is reminiscent of the terms of reference, which Zhukov gave rise to a system bezaerodromnogo MiG-15 - required to develop a system of "bezaerodromnoy landing."Naturally, this specification is not satisfied yet, and passed into the category of historical anecdotes.In general, it seems, can say with certainty only that the new car will get linked in a "duck" - today's most popular design in the Russian Air Force.

In Russia, working on a new strategist for the Air Force

Work on the promise of strategic aviation aircraft in Russia in the next 10 years will not end, said Russian Air Force Commander Gen. Vladimir Mikhailov.
"We are working on a promising long-range aircraft (strategic) aircraft, but I will say right - this machine is unlikely to emerge in the next ten years, it is more distant prospect", - said Mikhailov in an interview to "Interfax".
According to him, "rate in those years will be on the modernization of aircraft, the armament, especially since the major flaws in our policy - Tu-160, Tu-95MS and far - Tu-22M3 bombers - bombers over 20 years of operation is detected, they have a large margin of safety and modernization reserve. "
"These aircraft will serve not yet 20 years old and not even 50, and a few longer," - said the commander in chief.
He stressed that the modernization of the combat capabilities of aircraft have increased sharply."For example, during the bombing at the site of the Tu-22M3 bombers, which took place after the upgrade, the deviation of the bomb was just one meter, which indicates its ability to provide highly accurate target engagement," - said Vladimir Mikhailov.

Until 2015 in Russia will create long-term strategic bombers - expert

Prior to 2015, in Russia there will be new strategic bombers, said to "Interfax-AVN," Head of the military-industrial complex of the Ministry of Industry and Energy Minister Yuri Koptev.

"Spread the work of promising long-range aviation aircraft complex will hardly be possible before 2015", - said Yuri Koptev, when asked about the prospects for the emergence of new Russian strategic bombers.

According to him, aviation complex program to create long-range aircraft by 2015 will be mainly exploratory.

"This program will be conceptual, exploratory nature.Perhaps some will be carried forward looking research on the look of the aircraft ", - said Yuri Koptev.

According to him, in this area will create a technological advance, and the challenges in service aircraft will be modernized.

"The same as the U.S. retain the existing fleet of strategic aviation, spending his ongoing modernization", - he said.

"For Russia, this work involves the extension of the resource, the three main types of strategic aviation airplanes (long-range bombers Tu-22M3 strategic Tu-95 and Tu-160 -" IF-AVN ") deep and their modernization, ensuring compatibility with new weapons" - said the head of the department.

According to him, Russia has today upgraded the unit designs.

"We work, in particular, to combine the systems of planes with new weapons.These papers must be turned into a program of bringing the entire fleet of strategic aircraft upgraded to the level of individual samples, "- he said.
