1/13

Currently top 10 fighter aircraft in the world are these:

Nr.1Lockheed Martin / Boeing F-22 Raptor(USA)

The F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter is almost invisible to radars. This aircraft carries apowerful array of weaponry. It is the most advanced and most expensive production fighteraircraft to date. Many of sensors and avionics of this plane remain classified.

Engines of the raptor allow the aircraft to supercruise over long ranges, while thrust-vectoring nozzles, combined with a triplex fly-by-wire flight control system, make itexceptionally maneuverable.

The F-22 started life as a straightforward air superiority fighter. However since it'sintroduction this aircraft lacks a formidable air threat from other countries fighters. Later it

evolved towards the multi-role fighter, as strike capability was added.

This advanced aircraft was never offered for export customers, even other allies andNATO countries. Currently it is the best fighter aircraft ever built.

Nr.2Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet(USA)

The Super Hornet is the most capable US Navy multi-role fighter. It is based on the aircraftcarriers can attack both air and surface targets. The Super Hornet is also in service withAustralia as the main fighter aircraft.

The F/A-18E/F is a larger and more capable derivative of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. TheSuper Hornet is fitted with new engines. It has additional hardpoints and can carry moremissiles. This aircraft has extended range due to larger internal storage of fuel. The SuperHornet also has improved avionics. Some measures were taken to reduce radar crosssection of this aircraft.

Nr.3Eurofighter Typhoon(European Union)

In 1986 the Eurofighter consortium was formed by Germany, Italy, the UK and, later,Spain, to develop a new multi-role combat aircraft, optimized as a beyond visual rangeinterceptor with a secondary ground-attack capability. This aircraft carries advancedEuropean-designed missiles. it is fitted with a very modern and comprehensive avionicspackage.

It is claimed that Typhoon is half as combat effective as the American F-22 Raptor. It is anapproximate estimate, however it seems that Typhoon is superior to the F-15F, FrenchRafale, evolved Russian Su-27 variants and many other aircraft.

The Eurofighter Typhoon will form the cornerstone of European air power until well into the21st century.

Nr.7Mikoyan MiG-31(Russia)

The MiG-31 (NATO designation Foxhound-A) was developed as part of an overallprogramme to provide the Soviet air defenses with the ability to meet the threat posed byNATO low-level strike aircraft and cruise missiles.

This interceptor has a high speed, altitude and rate of climb, however it sacrificesmaneuverability in order to achieve these capabilities. The MiG-31 is among the fastestproduction aircraft. It uses missiles to shot-down enemy aircraft at long distances.

The latest version is the MiG-31BM; this is billed as a true multi-role Foxhound, able toundertake long-range interception, precision strike and defense suppression tasks. Bothcockpits feature advanced displays allowing the crew to deploy precision-guided munitions.A project to upgrade Russian interceptors to the MiG-31BM standard was begun in 2010.This interceptor continue to form the back bone of Russia's air defenses.

Hasil pembacaan menunjukkan bahawa teknologi stealth sudah lama diaplikasi oleh

jurutera dalam bidang ketenteraan sejak selepas perang dunia kedua lagi. Dua

negara yang menjadi pelopor iaitu Rusia dan US. Cina kini juga dalam usaha

menghasilkan pesawat menggunakan teknologi yang sama, malah mereka berusaha

untuk menghasilkan yang lebih canggih, iaitu menggabungkan teknologi stealth dan

cloaking (berkaitan dengan bidang optik).

Teknologi stealth membolehkan satu-satu objek misalnya pesawat tentera atau

kapal perang tidak dapat dikesan oleh radar. Walaupun begitu, objek masih lagi

kelihatan pada mata kasar. Laporan daripada pelbagai sumber pada hari ini

memberitakan bahawa US dan China sedang berlumba-lumba untuk menghasilkan

objek hasil dari gabungan teknologi stealth dan cloak.

BAGAIMANA TEKNOLOGI STEALTH BEKERJA?

Prinsip asas radar dan pantulan gelombang.

Aplikasi radar ialah dengan menggunakan gelombang. Dalam hal ini, radar akan

mengeluarkan gelombang radio yang mana gelombang tersebut akan memantulkan

semula gelombang kepada antenna apabila terkena sesuatu objek. Antena pada

radar seterusnya akan mengukur masa yang diambil pantulan untuk tiba

membolehkan kita tahu berapa jauh dari objek itu berada.

Badan logam kapal terbang biasa adalah sangat baik untuk memantulkan isyarat

radar dan ini menyebabkan kapal terbang mudah dikesan dengan peralatan radar.

Bentuk aerodinamik kapal terbang kovensional juga berupaya mewujudkan

pemantul radar yang sangat cekap. Bentuk bulat bermakna tidak kira di mana isyarat

radar terkena kapal terbang, beberapa isyarat dapat dipantul kembali kepada radar.

Matlamat teknologi stealth adalah untuk membuat kapal terbang supaya tidak dapat

dilihat dengan radar. Kapal terbang direka bentuk khas supaya apa-apa isyarat radar

dipantulnya memantul jauh dari kelengkapan radar. Pesawat stealth juga

mempunyai permukaan rata dan tepi yang sangat tajam . Apabila isyarat radar

terkena pesawat stealth , isyarat gelombang yang diterima akan terpantul jauh di

pelbagai sudut seperti dalam rajah di bawah.

Gambar rajah menunjukkan tiada pantulan gelombang kembali kepada

antenna radar.

Selain dari sudut bentuk kapal terbang, faktor bahan yang menyerap isyarat radar

digunakan membaluti badan kapal terbang turut menyebabkan tiada pantulan dari

kapal terbang sampai kepada antenna radar.

TEKNOLOGI CLOAKING

Kajian hingga hari ini menunjukkan bahawa China telah berjaya menghalimunankan

dari mata kasar manusia sebahagian objek. Selain itu, mereka juga telah berjaya

menghalimunankan kucing dan ikan mas dalam kajian mereka. Laporan lain pula

menunjukkan bahawa China telah berjaya menghasilkan tidak kurang daripada 40

jubah cloak halimunan dalam proses R&D mereka. Proses cloaking ini berkait

rapat dengan perambatan cahaya. Kedua-dua negara masih lagi melakukan kajian

bagaimana untuk menghalimunankan objek sepenuhnya dan berupaya untuk kekal

halimunan walau menghadapi apa jua gelombang cahaya.

Dalam hali ini, menurut Ma Yungui, jurutera pakar dalam bidang optik dari Zhejiang

University, tujuan kajian ini akhirnya adalah untuk membolehkan senjata untuk

melepasi pemeriksaan keselamatan tanpa dapat dikesan. Ia juga boleh digunakan

oleh askar supaya tidak dapat dilihat oleh kamera inframerah pada waktu malam.

Jika kajian mengenai teknologi cloak ini berjaya, ia akan digunakan dalam pesawat

tentera udara, kapal laut dan askar itu sendiri.

Kesimpulan :

Teknologi stealth dancloak merupakan dua teknologi yang berbeza. Teknologi

stealth berupaya membenarkan objek tanpa dikesan oleh radar manakala teknologi

cloak pula berupaya untuk membenarkan objek supaya tidak kelihatan pada mata

kasar. Gabungan dua teknologi ini sangat berbahaya kerana ia akan menyebabkan

kita tidak dapat melihat objek tersebut pada mata kasar selain tidak dapat dikesan

melalui radar. Teknologi cloak ini masih lagi dalam kajian.
