Since this century, china obtained quite great progress in domain of unmanned aircraft technology, it is revolutionary that a lot of achievement can say. Perhaps be in western eye, china is being imitated all the time, did not innovate, overlook China completely to had rolled out many innovation model in recent years, for instance: "Circle in the air dragon " unmanned attack plane, and " divine carve " large inorganic, still one alludes less, but the model that cannot despise absolutely: Dark sword does not have man-machine.
Dark sword does not have man-machine, it is design of institute of design of aircraft of Shenyang of company of group of Chinese aviation industry, "Dark sword " nobody fight the plane has for emergency use of supersonic speed, freeboard ability and low can explore a gender, basically use at was opposite to fight for nothing.
By October 2006, "Dark sword " nobody fight the plane is exhibited in Zhuhai boat go up to appear publicly first, cause sensation. "Dark sword " the design is original, have completely do not develop a tendency at having man-machine currently, as invisible as popular B-2 also the unmanned aircraft design of bomber type is different, have capacity of unmanned aircraft air battle probably. At present the west also did not allude this concept.
The great majority on the world chooses subsonic speed without man-machine, but " dark sword " mix two of duck ala perpendicular the design of inclined ala, show it may have capacity of supersonic speed cruise, maneuverability and invisible ability is relatively outstanding also. In addition, "Dark sword " engine intake duct is located in airframe forehead lower part, this and annihilate - 10 battleplan be exactly the same, conduce to the flexibility that promotes opportunity for combat.
"Dark sword " the position of confluence of body of arrow form ala that used similar B-2 and F-117 to mix style on pneumatic design, from the speculation on the appearance, "Dark sword " should have ability of supersonic speed, tall motor-driven and concealed body property, had reached the higher level of international battleplan technology, will become the first ultrasonic likely nobody drive opportunity for combat, may be of course in order to be opposite enemy the function is given priority to.
"Dark sword " the index requirement that wants contented supersonic speed and tall maneuverability already on function without man-machine, lade inside airframe even load of sensor, task and fuel, still must be being produced at the same time and use battleplan drives under groovy somebody on cost. Integrated these characteristics and requirement, OK substantially estimation goes out " dark sword " measurement standards and roughly fighting capacity level.
Tactical scout for military use does not have man-machine at present the mainest application limits executes mission of the scout in sky namely, home, outside active service and unmanned fight the scout in the plane also is in absolute majority. "Dark sword " the majority requirement that has flight property can satisfy scout completely, but because its pneumatic layout and function of supersonic speed flight restricted add boat,time is mixed fight radius, when because this serves as scout,be being used, function of main support high speed executes tactical scout mission.
"Dark sword " ability of supersonic speed flight is completely OK cooperate effectively with scout of the strategy when long boat, rely on its low signal feature and supersonic speed function are covering to hostile and concentrated air defence area scouts forcibly, of system of the intercept in the advantage avoid area that uses speed and motor-driven property and sky kill and wound. Have attack capacity " dark sword " fall to still can undertake hitting directly in the circumstance that discovers main goal, the modernization that becomes collect scout, attack to be an organic whole is advanced nobody fight flight platform.
No matter dark sword does not have man-machine,be technical experiment machine only, practical still model unmanned aircraft, wanted what it succeeds to enter the space only, have great sense to China: In hypersonic speed domain, before China had walked along others! Believe army fan people one day that when expect comes at an early date.
