i think in the future wars, Jet fighter will play crucial role. There are advance jets being built by countries.
So is it possible to build Jet fighter that can be completely invisible from naked eye or from any Radar at all?
Any chances that Future Fighter Jet can go straight outside of earth into space and come back?
Though there were numerous instances when fictional characters or toys(aka mil toys) got life,I can neither rule out nor attest a possibility of such aerospace fighters.
To say that we will never realise those sci-fi type fighters ,will be utterly naive to the tech world,while siding with those ideas will look utter optimistic.
But I myself rather be an optimist than being a naive or some other ***hole.
Its a fact that the americans and russians proved the aerospace flights all these years but with different appraoches and systems.If one looks at purely a aerospace fighter with certain attacking capabilities and anytime orbit shifting and returning and re-entering space,they should have to go with an SSTO design.
My opinion of such SSTO should carry conventional turbojet(with high thrust capable of pulling supersonics and high supersonics) and a scramjet.This design might make my SSTO achieve conventional take-off,orbitting and re-entry,landing with less fuss.
But I might also prefer orbital re-fuelling just like air-air re-fuelling in atmosphere.But I would say, we need to work of fuel here.LH2 is the not option for numerous entry/re-entries and being an attack fighter.
For that fighter stealth,I might go in satisfying my customers with high visible stealth whereas I cant guarantee them I can make my fighter invisble to thier enemys radars forever.
For visible stealth,we are mostly dealing with those naked eyes and electro-opticals.With technological advancements in visible stealths,there is no counter from a humans naked eye side.
But OTOH, a radar stealth is a different ball game. It counts the technology advancements from both sides.Hence a person who brings in the most advanced active/passive stealths to the field and maintians that leverage against its opponents may have the ball rolling in his court.
