    I just tried to find a ordonated priority things must be done whit invisible planes. First must see them after that you must have a capable missile and same importance speed for own planes in order to hit and run from him.

    Point is when light cameras will see as far as a radar the invisible on radar would be inutil.

    Radar waves can be bounced around the curve of the earth... light waves can't.

    Plus certain things block light waves like cloud which are easy to hide behind or even a case where a B-52 is flying away from you it will obscure its presence with its own engine exhaust smoke...

    Light is passive so you can look without being noticed. IR is also passive and has similar advantages. radar is active and sometimes that is bad but sometimes it is the best choice... of course keep in mind that a huge powerful long range radar perhaps operating on the ground can detect targets a very long way away and pass that information on to the entire air defence structure so with emitting from one source the entire air defence network will know where certain enemy assets are... add passive sensors and space and sea based sensors and even a few aircraft based sensors and you build up a richer more accurate picture of the enemy while they only detect active emitters and get a much less detailed picture of you.

    point is in order to stop him hit your base you need a fast rocket too and a good radar to see invisible planes. Otherwise he would just ignore the interceptor and go ahead to your base and hit it.

    If you can divert an enemy aircraft to attack you instead of the target you are defending then that is actually a win for you. The interceptors job is to defend your airspace and if you make the enemy aircraft divert from its proper target and chase after you then that is great... lead him over a radar silent S-400 battery and smoke him...

    And the interceptor can get enemy position from ground troops from his back? I mean if the enemy is far away the interceptor can communicate whit no worry whit own troops. And that far away advantave is given by your radar power.

    Very true. One on one is a huge advantage to the attacker... because they pick the time and place, but with a whole network the defender has the support of a range of other aircraft including... if necessary... PAK FA and Su-35S and MiG-35S and S-500 and S-400 batteries.

    Low flying weapons like stealthy cruise missiles can be engaged with Verba MANPADS and Pantsir-S and Tunguska and TOR type vehicles if they happen to be in the flightpath of the threats and get adequate warning of their approach...

    First must see them after that you must have a capable missile and same importance speed for own planes in order to hit and run from him.

    Because of the situation... ie the northern frontier of Russia, any F-22 present will be trying to minimise fuel burn and maximise speed to increase its range and combat persistance so it will be super cruising everywhere in the hope that will give it longer range and a missile launch advantage against its enemies.

    Problem is that all the advantages it gets from super cruising like altitude and speed go away when confronted with even todays MiG-31 because even todays MiG-31 will be flying higher and much faster with missiles with a much greater range.

    the only real advantage is that the radar guided missiles of both aircraft will have problems detecting stealth aircraft but little problem detecting and tracking the MiG.

    Of course the EW upgrade of the current MiGs should make that a non issue and it should be able to defend itself against AMRAAM.

    the real question is what range will the MiG-31 detect a super cruising F-22 using IRST and radar with the accuracy needed to get an R-37M close enough for its radar to get a lock.

    It also depends on whether they are adapting IIR guidance to their larger AAMs for use against stealthy enemy aircraft... it would be useful against F-22s and B-2s.

    It was optimised for the job the MiG-31 does.

    To do it at twice the speed would be more easily done with a new design.

    MiG-31 replacement will not be a stealth plane, but fast plane with long range. Of course it will have lower RCS than MiG-31 and maybe better maneuverability, what MiG-1-44 could provide together with long range as it is quite big plane with large wings for a lot of fuel. We will see, if MiG will develop replacement from the start or they will shorten its development using MiG-1-44, which have flying prototype.

    The MiG-41...

    So far just talk.

    Supposed to be a mach 4.2 speed interceptor.

    As Medo mentions this new aircraft is an interceptor... its main features are long range and high flight speed.

    Stealth is a waste of money... a huge powerful radar, a huge internal fuel tank, a large internal weapon bay for lots of large long range AAMs would be ideal... internal weapons because of low drag rather than low RCS.

    In order to maximize the stealth, active radar aka emitter should be turn off, only receiver is functional, and that is not a good thing for air fighter. And stealthy shape means some reduce in aerodynamic shape, maneuverabilty, speed and that means reduce air fight capability.

    So far I believe, stealth is more useful for scouter/ground attacker than fighter.

    But I believe, at least for the next 2 decades, nothing can outcompete MiG-31 in air to air fighting.

    Post  GunshipDemocracy Wed Aug 12, 2015 10:42 am

    Dear Lads, looks like famous MiG-41 is PAK DP. I did not know what thread shall I report this news - pls advise.

    http://ria.ru/defense_safety/20150812/1179112588.html

    MOSCOW, Aug 12 — RIA Novosti, Yekaterina Spirovska, Alexander Nevar. Work on defining the shape of the radio-electronic complex of a promising aviation complex distant intercept (PAK DP), which will replace the MiG-31 began in "NIIP Tikhomirov", reported to journalists the General Director of the enterprise Yury Belyi.

    Last year the Russian air force commander Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev said that Russia in 2017 will begin research work on the development of PAK DP. Readiness to participate in the development of the aircraft in February this year, said the RAC "MiG".
    "Development system "Zaslon" of the fighter-interceptor MiG-31 has been a milestone for our Institute and became his "calling card". So, of course, we couldn't stay out of participation in the creation of new radio-electronic complex for PAK DP. Started research work on determination of appearance-based systems not only modernized "Zaslon", but for all of the latest developments, including "bars", "IRBIS", radio-electronic system for the PAK FA and others," said Belyi.

    He noted that for the new interceptor should be developed on a modern basis and all other systems.

    "If NIIP will be chosen by the developer of electronic industry, we will need to ensure communication with all onboard systems. We are also ready, have the necessary experience," added the CEO of the developer.

    NIIP is a developer of systems management service (OMS) fighter aircraft, as well as the developer of anti-aircraft missile systems of medium-range air defense Ground forces, whose task is to protect against air attack. Currently the shareholders of "NIIP Tikhomirov" are "Concern PVO "Almaz-Antey" (56%) and "Concern radio-Electronic Technology" (44%), part of state Corporation Rostech.

    Commander videoconferencing: Interceptor future will not create before 2019


    MOSCOW, August 12 - RIA Novosti. Development work on the development of perspective aviation complex long-range interception (PAK DP), which in the future will replace the MiG-31, will begin no earlier than 2019, told journalists on Wednesday VKS Commander Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev.

    "Start of development work on the creation PAK DP planned no earlier than 2019. At the moment, the Russian Defense Ministry has successfully carried out the modernization of existing facilities interception - the MiG-31," - said Bondarev.

    He noted that the timing of the ROC to build PAK DP does not affect the status of the park interceptors videoconferencing.

    Last year, Bondarev reported that Russia in 2017 will begin research work on PAK DP. And earlier on Wednesday CEO NIIP VV Tikhomirov Yury White announced that the company has already begun work on the definition of the complex shape of electronic interceptor future.

    GarryB wrote:As far as I know the forward swept wing is ideal for subsonic aircraft but in theory it should also be rather more efficient for high speed flight too.

    For those not familiar a very simple explaination is that a straight wing generates more life but also generates more drag. The faster you fly the more drag is created so as you get faster a sweep back of the wing can reduce drag while still generating lift.

    the main problem is that sometimes the air does not just flow straight over the wing and with very sharply swept wings the air can flow down the sweep. When it gets to the end of the wing the high pressure air and the low pressure air mix and form a huge vortex that generates parasitic drag.

    One solution is the wing in ground effect where short broad wings are used on aircraft that fly very close to the ground so the vortex does not form properly and drag is greatly reduced.

    another solution is winglets which reduces but does not eliminate the vortex.

    Another solution is wing fences but again these do not eliminate the vortex.

    the forward swept wing results in the span wise flow heading towards the wing root instead of the wing tip so the wing tip vortex is practically eliminated as a significant force on the aircraft.

    careful design allows the spanwise flow to add to lift by flowing over the lifting body fuselage instead of creating a vortex at the wingtip.

    The direct result is an enormous reduction in drag, which means the wing can be made smaller and lighter... which further reduces drag etc etc.

    The main problem is that in a turn the forces on the wing tend to make it bend upwards which increases the lift and drag and would increase the turn rate which rapidly turns a slow turn into a broken wing.

    Modern laminates that are rigid in one direction and relatively flexible in the other promised a forward swept wing strong enough not to break in a turn but flexible enough to promise an active reshapable wing so you can have it flat and low drag for high speed flight and curved and high lift for takeoff and landing. A really active wing could mean no leading edge slats and flaps which would greatly reduce RCS as well.

    Personally I would think if they can solve the problems of high speed a forward swept wing offers lower drag and higher lift.
    a triangle like wing would help?

    I believe it is better to make 2 vertical stabs and put it at the edge of the aircraft hull, similar to MiG-25/31 and F-15.

    That means the vertical stabs won't be blocked by wing and hull at high AoA.

    Russian aircraft corporation MiG working on outlook of new-generation interceptor — CEO

    "After the work is over, we’ll consider the issue of concluding a contract [with the Defense Ministry of Russia] on its [long-range interceptor system] development," the MiG chief said

    MOSCOW, August 21. /TASS/. The aircraft corporation MiG is working on the outlook of a new-generation interceptor for Russian aviation, MiG CEO Sergei Korotkov said on Friday.

    "We’re conducting R&D, which helps determine the outlook of a long-range interceptor system. After the work is over, we’ll consider the issue of concluding a contract [with the Defense Ministry of Russia] on its development," the MiG chief said.

    That means the vertical stabs won't be blocked by wing and hull at high AoA.

    Keep in mind this is an interceptor... so long range, high flight speed, ability to fly very high or very low if needed are all useful features along with very big radar/sensors, and significant payload of air to air weapons...

    High manouver capability, along with stealth are secondary and would actually likely reduce performance in more important areas.

    Twin fins is good for stability, but two fins is twice as heavy and increases drag compared to one.

    On the other hand if you have two they don't generally need to be as big as they need to be when you only have one...

    If the new aircraft has leading edge root extensions like the MiG-29/35 and Flankers then twin fins improve performance as they generally are in line with the energised vortexes generated by the LERXs, which improves control and stability...
