Is the Nantianmen Plan really coming? The aerospace fighter “White Emperor” appeared in the air show, but “Ming Dy” was better

Many netizens who have been to Zhuhai Air Show said that this air show is the most interesting one over the years, and various advanced weapon concepts and weapons have been unveiled. Four J-20 fighter jets appeared on the market, along with the Long March 9 super heavy rocket and a new generation of manned rocket in a new configuration. In addition, there are many new cutting-edge weapons such as J-16, J-10 C, Attack 2, and Ming Dysprosium aircraft. One of the mysterious fighter jets unveiled for the first time in an exhibition area attracted the attention of military fans before it was placed on the exhibition stand. Today, the overall appearance on the exhibition stand is even more amazing, At the same time, we also know its name -“Baidi” advanced air combat system, or”Baidi” aerospace aircraft

The configuration of this fighter is quite sci-fi. It reminds many friends of the”Eagle Claw” fighter in the American sci-fi film Top Secret Flight. Its appearance is indeed very similar. Many netizens can’t help sighing that it is Eagle Sauce that is responsible for sci-fi, and we are responsible for its realization

Take a look at its introduction. The display board says that it has completed a number of flight tests, such as atmospheric flight test, long-distance flight test in outer space, and ion weapon mount test in the vacuum weightless environment of outer space. Good guy! If it really completes these test flights, it will be the first in the world properly, far ahead of any existing fighter aircraft in any country in the world in technology, and it will also be the first aerospace fighter in the world, better than the six generations of aircraft still in the concept

In the introduction, it was also said that Hafei, the aviation industry, had used its rich experience in final assembly, advanced aviation composite parts production equipment and technological advantages in the whole machine manufacturing to complete the manufacturing, assembly and other work of the aircraft, which means that the aircraft has been built and has carried out many round trip space test flights

Then look at the connection between the fuselage and the wings when the wings were not installed in the progress hall before. There are as many as 25 large and small holes, which are required for installing wings, connecting various lines and the fuselage oil tank. If it is just a model, only one or two holes are needed for installing wings, so the exhibition of this mysterious aircraft gives you the impression that it is a real aircraft

Let’s take a look at the assembled real machine in the exhibition area. The slender nose is like a platypus:

Its overall style is like this. In fact, it is very similar to the J-20. Its body is slender, with full motion forward swept wings, and its tail is placed on a wide rear wing:

However, although its shape is very sci-fi, it is still hard to imagine that such a fighter can enter the outer space of the earth. After careful observation, it should also be found that the cockpit of this fighter is just an ordinary cockpit, and the cockpit of ordinary fighters cannot meet the living conditions of pilots in outer space, or some friends want to say that they can wear spacesuits! However, it will be inconvenient and unrealistic to operate a fighter in a heavy space suit! Therefore, although this fighter is mysterious and sci-fi, it is still unable to meet the requirements for manned space entry

When we look at the air inlet, it is still the air inlet of a traditional fighter plane. We all know that there is no air in outer space. Such an engine cannot fly in outer space. Extraatmospheric flight requires a rocket engine. This fighter plane does not have one. Therefore, it is unreasonable to call this fighter a”space plane”. It does not have the ability to fly in space

In fact, the”Eagle Claw” fighter in the science fiction film Top Secret Flight does not have the ability to fly outside the atmosphere, although it uses a backpack inlet

The serial number 40536 at the rear of the Baidi fuselage is said to be the serial number of the abolished Air Force 32nd Division, which also indicates that it has nothing to do with the service aircraft

So what does this”White Emperor” aeroplane do? In fact, it is a cultural and creative sci-fi product, which is not practical. What is displayed on the booth is just a sci-fi model

Some friends may remember that there was also a mysterious fighter called”Xuanniao” at last year’s Zhuhai Air Show, which was also quite sci-fi:

Earlier, there was the”South Tianmen Plan”. The designer said that the main equipment was a space carrier,”Luan Bird”, whose deck area was equivalent to three football fields. It was larger than the world’s largest aircraft carrier at present, and could fly to a height of 42 kilometers. It could be parked or cruised

The Luan Bird Space Carrier carries the”Xuannv” space fighter and the”Chengying” aircraft armor, and the”Xuannv” space fighter is also very similar to the Baidi space fighter in this air show, so when the latter first appeared this year, many netizens asked:”Is the Nantianmen Plan really coming?”

So, these are actually science fiction and cultural creations, not new weapons under development, but these works combine some technologies that scientists are trying to achieve at present. They will appear one day in the future. The development of science and technology is actually very rapid. More than a decade ago, we could not imagine that the mobile phone in our hands could have so many functions, and we could not imagine that cars can be driven without people, But too many impossibilities have become possible now. It is believed that science fiction things such as Luan Bird Airship, Xuannv, Xuanniao, and White Emperor Airplane will not become reality in front of us before long

In fact, at this Zhuhai Air Show, there was already an aerospace fighter that could fly to the edge of the atmosphere. It was the MD-22 wide area aerospace aircraft, code named”Ming Dy”. Therefore, in the field of aerospace cross-border flight,”Ming Dy” was really strong at this Zhuhai Air Show

This new concept aircraft has a slender shape. It is 10.8 meters long, 1.6 meters high, 4.5 meters wide, weighs about 4 tons, has a maximum speed of 7 times the speed of sound, a maximum range of about 8000 kilometers, and a maximum flight height of 100 kilometers. Its speed and height are far more than all today’s fighter jets. It can also be said that it is a sub orbital aircraft. Today’s technology can be developed, and its appearance will actually become the development of White Emperor, Xuanniao The paving stone in the technology of Xuannv and other space fighters speeds up the pace of turning science fiction fighters into reality, so”Mingdysprosium” is a better and more practical aircraft at present
