In January 2024, the Journal of Aeronautical Science published the "Special Issue of the Chief Engineer of the 85th Anniversary of the Founding of Xi'an University of Technology", and invited Wang Haifeng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute of Aviation Industry, to write a paper on the topic of "Key Technologies for Collaborative Design of High-performance Fighters and Engines", which looked forward to the integrated design of the next generation (sixth generation) advanced fighter jet. Previously, Academician Wang Haifeng, as well as the chief designer of the J-20, Academician Yang Wei of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the chief designer of the J-35 and J-15, and Academician Sun Cong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, have expressed relevant views on the sixth-generation fighter. The insights of the three top Chinese fighter commanders on the sixth-generation aircraft are undoubtedly very valuable knowledge, which helps us to lift the fog and better understand what a "sixth-generation aircraft" is.
According to the cognition of Academician Wang Haifeng, Academician Yang Wei and Academician Sun Cong on the sixth-generation aircraft, this journal has made relevant interpretations of the sixth-generation aircraft from various aspects such as the characteristics, performance and technology of the sixth-generation aircraft for the benefit of readers.
Aspect 2:
New developments in domestic equipment
Aspect 1:
Academicians discuss the future fighters
A large number of unmanned combat equipment such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shined and become the focus of attention of countries around the world. In the past 2023, the world's top ten advanced UAVs in the eyes of foreigners have been announced, including a large number of UAVs such as the American MQ-25 "Stingray", MQ-28 "Ghost Bat", and the Russian "Orion", among which China's Attack-11 and Pterodactyl-10 UAVs are also impressively listed.
