Fifth Generation Fighter Jet Comparisons

[Vibs]

Fighter aircrafts are designed especially for the air to air combats with other aircrafts. Some aircrafts are designed for the bombing purpose to the ground and air called “fighter-bombers”. Fighter aircrafts play a very important role in a country’s strength, at crucial times they really help in the guerrilla warfare.
Well here we have this list about the top ten fifth generation aircraft projects, and this list is based on the budget spending, planning and development or you can say the overall fulfillers of requirements.
10. Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA)

This aircraft is going to be in India in almost 2020. It is a single seat, tin engine strength and is a multirole fighter, it is under development phase and its project success rate is 20%.
9. KF-X

Its budget is estimated to be USD 12 billion and will be introduced in 2020. Its user will be ROK and Indonesian Air Force. It is said that its first flight will be scheduled in 2017. It is a single seat, twin engine with stealth capabilities more than the Dassault Rafale or Eurofighter Typhoon and less than F-35 Lightening II and the project success rate is 80%, seriously good luck for them.

8. ATD-X Shinshin

This fifth generation aircraft will be introduced in 2020 and its first flight is scheduled in 2014. This aircraft is under development process and will be used by Japan Air Self- Defense Force.

7. Mikoyan LMFS

This Aircraft is also going to be introduced in 2020, it is a single engine stealth fighter and is based on the canceled MiG 1.44. Russian Air Force is going to use this air craft and the project success rate is estimated as 80%.

6. J-XX (J-12, J-13, J-14)

This will be introduced in 2020 and will be used by Chinese Air Force. It is proposed to have a single engine stealth fighter and will be based on J-10B,JF-17 or may be on a totally new design.

5. Sukhoi/HAL FGFA

This is a twin-seat, twin-engine stealth fighter and is going to be on the same pattern from the PAK FA. It is going to be introduced in 2020 and will be used by Indian Air Force with the help of Russia. The success rate is said to be 90%.

4. F-35 Lightening II

It is a joint Strike Fighter by US, UK, Italy, The Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway and Denmark. It is said to have a budget of USD 40 billion and will be used by US Air Force and other. Its first flight was in 15th December, 2006 and the project is about to finish and introduced in 2016. The success rate is 95%. It is a single-seat, single-engine and stealth multirole fighter.

3. Black Eagle J-20

This is a twin-engine stealth multirole righter with single seat. Its first flight is scheduled in this year i.e. 2011 and will be introduced in 2015 to 2019. This will be used by Chinese Air Force and the success r ate is estimated to be 100%
2. PAK-FA

The estimated budget is said to be around USD 8-10 billion and is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth multirole fighter. Its first flight was on 29th January, 2010 and will be officially introduced in 2015.

1. F-22 Raptor

This one really deserves to be on the top, it has the budget of USD 65 billion and is already introduced 5 years ago on 15th December, 2005 and the first flight was on 29th September, 1990. This is used by US Air Force and is a single-seat, twin engine stealth fighter aircraft and is giving 100% success.

Number 10 will be another mythical military gadget India cannot build. I like DRDO thinking though. Can't build a successful 3rd generation plane (actual plane and not claims) but they are already aiming for 5th generation. Number 9, not sure.8 looks cool with big nose. 6, 7? 5 is light years away. 4's success is suspect at the moment. 3 and 2 are undefined...till they are not inducted you never know. 1 is only real fifth generation plane and probably will be for anther decade.

I am waiting for this 2 to be operational in India PAKFA and FGFA. That would be ultimate day for us. Hopefully around 2017-2019 most likely. AMCA only after 2020. F-35, We may buy may not.

KF-X isn't fifth generation more like 4.75-4.85 Better then the EuroFighter but not better then the F-35.

That's debatable. Even F-35 without super cruise is considered to be just short of 5th gen. Except for J-20, F-22 and Pak-FA/T-50 are the ones widely accepted as 5th gen.

the Indian AMCA

 

[Jango]

At the moment only the F-22 Raptor is the only Truly operational Fifth Gen aircraft. The J-20 and PAKFA are closing in to being in the final testing phase. The F-35 is in the induction phase. The rest are just paper designs at the moment including the J-XX and AMCA.

Agreed. But F-35 lacks super cruise which is a key criteria for being a 5th Gen fighter according to some analysts. J-XX and AMCA are a loong way off.

 

[LiberalAtheist]

AMCA might be on paper but in 2017 we will see its first flight the FGFA would enter service in 2017, btw when is the first flight of our FGFA going to take place?

But, except for the super cruise, the F-35 really seems to be a capable aircraft. It has reportedly the most advanced avionics suite in the world.

Not again sidhu, yesterday or the day before you were as well saying after 5 years, after 10 years.

I have said about now, no doubt the AMCA may well go on to be good, but stay in the present. You might also have been saying Tejas will come after this many years, but hey, where is it?

My advice to you, stay in the present.

however in a computer simulation conducted by RAND corp the F-35 lost to SU-35BM fighters

well of course we are in the present but it does not hurt to take a look into the future once in a while does it?

besides the AMCA is just on paper we know nothing of its specifications unofficial design work is still being conducted when the design is frozen then funding will occur for the project
