Speed Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 At the current rate things are going, there will be no 7th gen jet fighters, as no will be able to afford them. And lazorz. Lots of lazorz :D Yea, that's the other thing I was thinking- put 4*pi steradians of IRST on it, and just add some gimballed, high-power solid state lasers. Dogfights will be gunz and lazorz only. :D Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

PFunk1606688187 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Maybe by 7th gen they're going to replace manned fighters with cheap disposable high mach 9G+ capable drones that can be produced in numbers that allow for swarm attacking. Maybe the USAF can finally adopt some Soviet thinking and use the shotgun instead of the scalpel. Okay, maybe a shotgun full of scalpels. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
GGTharos Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Ever heard of CBU-97? :D Maybe the USAF can finally adopt some Soviet thinking and use the shotgun instead of the scalpel.

aaron886 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 perhaps it would run on some form of engine that makes it capable of hypersonic flight. Maybe if this fighter is unmanned... I'll leave it at that.
TraxusIV Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) is that a 6th gen ? and is it the 7th gen ? Wow, I'd never heard of that movie before now. EDI is actually frighteningly close in its basic shape to what I was imagining (minus the HAL 9001, and ridiculous hypersonic dogfighting, of course).

EtherealN Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 EDI is the AI controlled drone from the 2005 movie "Stealth". Heathen! EDI is the Enhanced Defence Intelligence that oversees and operates the second Normandy's weapons, electronic warfare etcetera in the Mass Effect trilogy. And as the coup de grâce: voiced by Tricia Helfer. "I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees..." Any other EDI is just a pale pretender. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

EtherealN Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 There won't be any fighter in 2050! Only drones... And you mean drones can't attack other drones?

Retsilf Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I fully share your view. In future Drones become multirole. And there will be no more manned fighters.
TraxusIV Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 I fully share your view. In future Drones become multirole. And there will be no more manned fighters. I don't think it will be a case of 'no more manned fighters'. Signal interruption is a real threat to drones, so unless we surrender control of the craft to an AI, we'll have to have vehicles with humans in the cockpit, at least as a reserve force.

Davis0079 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 the unmanning of some current aircraft would lead to a higher lvl of air superiority...no more human "G" limits...we already build stuff far more capable then ourselves...this is why Skynet wins the war....manned F-16 vs ummaned F-16 = dead man It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.
Davis0079 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Now, how about adding some rear firing missiles and auto-targeting turrets for taking out targets at any angle from the ship? I always wondered why we dont put our fighter gatlin/vulcan cannons on a gimble...even 10 or 15 degrees of computer control would stop you from having to be perfect "nose on lead" to score a kill shot....just get it within the gimble limits and let the computer do the rest.... It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.

I think the F-22 and F-35 may be the only aircraft in our inventory that have the computing power to do that. It would take not only target tracking logic, which is pretty simple, I think, but also motion prediction logic. That's no where near as simple. Think of all the things that have to be calculated and predicted in a high-g turning fight. Even if the target is only 10° off bore, the computer has to figure out where it is, which direction it's going and with what velocity, and predict, based on previous path, where it will be going half a second to a second later. Not exactly a simple thing to calculate in real time. But yeah, that capability would make a lot of sense. If you disapprove of this post, please feel free to give me negative rep.
