Boeing Plans Sixth Generation Fighter With Block 3 Super Hornet
Jan 30, 2008

David A. Fulghum/Aerospace Daily & Defense Report Boeing is touting an even newer version of its F/A-18E/F Super Hornet that, paired with an advanced sixth-generation fighter in the works at the company, would give customers what Boeing deems a better package of capabilities than Lockheed Martin's combination of the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The idea is that customers could buy 4.5 generation Super Hornets (perhaps 4.75 generation with the planned extra forward stealth and extra range of Block 3 aircraft) and then switch to a new, sixth generation faster than if they bought the fifth generation Joint Strike Fighter. To be available circa 2024, the sixth generation aircraft would feature a combat radius of more than 1,000 miles and stealth against a much wider spectrum of rapiresbangang. "The [Navy] C-version of the F-35 doesn't buy you a lot that the Super Hornet doesn't provide," says Bob Gower, Boeing's vice president for F/A-18 and EA-18G programs. "Our strategy is to create a compelling reason for the services to go to the next [sixth] generation platform. How do you bridge F/A-18E/F to get us there? We want to convince customers to stay with [Super Hornet] a few years longer -- by adding advanced capabilities and lowering price -- so that they can get to the sixth generation faster. If you go to JSF first, it's going to be a long time." Another part of Boeing's argument is that the "Navy is comfortable with the Super Hornet against the highest [enemy] threat through 2024, with the [improved] capabilities we have in the flight plan," Gower says. "The ability to counter the threat gets you to about the point that [Boeing's] sixth generation is available." It's part of Boeing's counterattack on Lockheed Martin's claim that the decreasing price of the F-22, which is now at $140 million each, will make it so attractive that Australia may reconsider its buy -- already being paid for -- of 24 two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornets. Until Australia's recent change in government, a number of U.S. officials said the government was considering a second lot of 24 Super Hornets and a six-plane squadron of EA-18G Growlers. Boeing makes the argument that a sliding in-service date for the JSF is worrying both the Australians and the U.S. military. "The U.S. Air Force and Navy are now talking a lot more about where they need to go with sixth generation to get beyond JSF," Gower says. "It could be unmanned, but I think you will see a combination of missions -- some manned, some unmanned." For Boeing, the real discriminators are going to be extended range (1,000-1,500 miles), a small radar signature against low-frequency rapiresbangang, expanded awareness through connections with the network, and the ability to carry a number of bombs internally.

supergripen

they can claim all the 'bells and whistles' with the new SH,but remember it is still 100% american.. we ain't gonna get full capability.

plus kowtow-ing to the americans the way singapore does..well,its just not us la.

belacan79

Kalo F-22 (generasi 5)depa tak nak jual, aper lagi dengan jet pejuang generasi 6. Jangan tertipu.

belacan79

tin

well, we have to be seen in the position of kowtowing the US although in reality, we are not.

tin

Yeah! and end up like the PAK-AF

PAK-FA is just a dream for now, and I expect for some time in the future. There isn't even a prototype flying. The Russian Air Force will only receive the SU-35 in 2011 !, so who knows when the PAK-FA will be produced?

Just look at it this way, it took 10 years of expensive testing before the F-117 could fly. It took 17-18 years of even more expensive R & D and testing before the F-22 could be developed. I would be extremely surprised if Russia did not take as long, or even longer.

hyazinth79

pak fa might release to public view in 2012, just a few years,

hyazinth79

pakfa on air
and t95 on ground , deadly combination

belacan79

Wil taking years more of testing...satu lagi..Rusia take shorter time to test jet mereka becuz they have less money. Sebab tuh banyak masalah.

Kalau tak silap aku 6th fighter nie ader dalam metacafe yg aku penah tgk la
Diorang panggil F-36A Longsword. program nie dah di lancarkan sebagai pengganti superhornet. Tak silap dah 50% enjin pun dah test dan lain2 senjata kalau tak caya cuba carik tu pun kalau ader lagi. Sesiapa kalau dah jumpa ble tolong sahkan tak ...mana la tau kot2 aku yang silap.
