F 35 300x200 China still lags behind   Can not afford four generations of aircraft flight test in the near futureTake pride in what the Chinese Air Force deputy commander of China’s fourth-generation fighters will soon announce the news of flight, causing the so-called Western “professionals” of doubt. 12, according to Taiwan media reports, the “Han Dynasty and the Defense Review,” editor Andrei Chang said that China’s inability to test flight in the near future fourth-generation fighter aircraft.

The report said Andrei Chang that China’s fourth-generation fighter the necessary engines, radar and composite materials, etc., and there is a large gap between the world’s advanced level. He said the fourth-generation fighter with a big thrust vector propulsion engine in Russia is only just been put into flight, “China even the” Taihang “engine are not really equipped troops, we can see that China’s aero-engine industry from the world level there is a considerable distance. ”

Andrei Chang also believes that the fourth-generation fighters need active phased array radar system, is also only the United States, Japan, volume production, Europe, Russia, similar system is under final development phase. “According to China’s recent openness in the international mechanical scanning radar to determine the performance and appearance, modular digital is well below the European of the same radar.”

He added that “stealth composite materials technology must reflect the low detectability of features, is currently a real ability to produce the fourth generation of composite materials, stealth countries only the United States.”

Andrei Chang thus judged, “Even if China developed its own fourth-generation aircraft, flight time of at least 10 years after the completion of military equipment, was also the most optimistic time for the next 15 years.”

Air Force Command College Strategic Teaching and Research Director Wang Ming-colonel on the 12th In an interview with “Global Times” reporter, said that the PLA has never been empty, then do not say, China can be proud of in accordance with DR, as deputy commander announced the completion of the development and fourth-generation fighter equipment tasks, which is no doubt about it. China had previously been equipped force in the development and even after the completion of announced new weapons, rarely open to the public announcement in the development stage, and now the Chinese say, in addition to indicate their openness and transparency, but also to express their self-confidence: China must do be. Air Force fighters in most countries, are “production generation, equipment generation, development of a generation.”

Wang Ming-chih says now that the Chinese aerospace industry with China’s rapid economic and technological development level jump. Scientific and technological level of China’s space and electronics are now able to spacecraft into space, so astronauts extravehicular space walk; China has developed a large-scale second only to the United States, a petaflop computer; the same variety of basic scientific and technological level of China’s substantial increase in China to Airlines across the state of the art is possible, therefore China has completed the development and fourth-generation fighters equipped with no problem.
