F-15SE Silent Eagle

              The Boeing F-15SE Silent Eagle is a proposed upgrade of the F-15E by Boeing using stealth features, such as internal weapons carriage and radar-absorbent material.

A demonstration version of the F-15SE was first displayed by Boeing on 17 March 2009. The F-15SE will use fifth generation fighter technologies to reduce its radar cross-section RCS. Distinguishing features of this version are the conformal weapons bays CWB that replace the conformal fuel tanks CFT to hold weapons internally and the twin vertical tails canted outward 15 degrees to reduce radar cross section. Weapons storage takes the place of most of each CWB fuel capacity. This variant will also have radar absorbing material where needed. The Silent Eagle is aimed at current F-15 users such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea, among others.
The F-15SE is to have the level of stealth allowed for export by the US government. Boeing has stated that this stealth will only be in the range of fifth generation aircraft such as the F-35 Lightning II from the frontal aspect. The F-15SE will have a Raytheon AESA radar, and a new electronic warfare system from BAE Systems.[8] This stealth will be optimized for air to air missions against X-band radars and much less effective against ground based radars which use other frequencies.

F-22 Raptor

          The Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor is a single seat, twin-engined air superiority fighter.  Developed as a replacement for the F-15 Eagle, which entered service in the 1970's, the Raptor sets a new standard for air technology.  Equipped with two 35,000-pound thrust Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 afterburning turbofan engines, the top speed of the F-22 exceeds mach 2.4 (1,600 mph-2570 km/h), while its aerodynamically efficient airframe allows it to "supercruise" at mach 1.72 (1,140 mph-1830 km/h) at military (non-afterburning) thrust.

              The Raptor's airframe is made up of mostly carbon fiber composite panels and titanium, which serves as the cornerstone of the Raptor's stealthy profile.  In addition, the Raptor is equipped with vectorable thrust nozzels on the engines which improve the aircraft's maneuverability.

F-117A Nighthawk - Stealth Technology

The F-117A  Nighthawk - Stealth Technology can employ a variety of weapons and is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a state-of-the-art digital avionics suite that increases mission effectiveness and reduces pilot workload. Detailed planning for missions into highly defended target areas is accomplished by an automated mission planning system developed, specifically, to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the F-117A. 

           The unique design of the single-seat F-117A provides exceptional combat capabilities. About the size of an F-15 Eagle, the twin-engine aircraft is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines and has quadruple redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. Air refuelable, it supports worldwide commitments and adds to the deterrent strength of the U.S. military forces.

JiaoLian-9 Military Aircraft Descriptios

The JiaoLian-9, also recognized as FTC-2000 Mountain Eagle (Shanying) in its export name, is a tandem two-seat, single-engine advanced jet trainer developed by the Guizhou Aviation Industry Group Co. (GAIGC). First flying on 13 December 2003, the JL-9/FTC-2000 is competing with the Hongdu Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG) L-15 for the contract of PLAAF’s next generation trainer programmed. With more high-performance third-generation fighters such as J-10 and Su-27/30 entering the service, the PLAAF’s existing JJ-6 (MiG-19 Farmer) and JJ-7 (MiG-21U Mongol) trainer fleets struggled to meet the training requirements that will enable the pilots to fly these fighters in their best performance. The PLAAF is in desperate needs for a new trainer that could match its new-generation fighters in smooth performance and avionics.

GAIGC first revealed its FTC-2000 advanced trainer concept in 2001. In order to save development time and costs, CAIGC designed the new aircraft based on its JJ-7 fighter-trainer, which has been serving with the PLAAF since the early 1980s. The new trainer retained the wing planform and powerplant of the JJ-7, but was given a redesigned forward fuselage with lateral air intakes and the in-flight refuelling probe. This has resulted in a modernised version of the JJ-7, with a relatively low unit price and modestly improved performance.

The first JL-9 prototype was rolled out in 2003 and made its first victorious flight on 13 December 2003, only two years after the programme started. The aircraft was given a military designation as JL-9 (JiangLian-9). In June 2005, Chinese newspapers reported that the JL-9 programme has been listed in the PLAAF’s 11th five-year procurement plan. The flight tests of the JL-9 are expected to complete by the end of 2005. GAIC has reportedly built 10 initial production variant planes, five of which were to be delivered to the PLAAF before 2006.
