The E-767 combines a Boeing 767-200ER airframe with the APY-2 development of the Sentry's APY-1 radar and mission system.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />The Boeing 767 has been selected by Japan to carry out airborne surveillance and command and control (C2) operations for tactical and air defence forces. The surveillance system is based on a flexible, multimode radar, which enables AWACS to separate maritime and airborne targets from ground and sea clutter radar returns.<br /><br />The 767 AWACS program began in 1993, when the U.S. and Japan agreed to begin development of the system. President George Bush approved the program by signing an agreement in January 1992 with Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. In keeping with worldwide tradition, the JASDF kept the "E" designation, naming its acquisition the E-767. The E-767 effort evolved when the JASDF required a sophisticated airborne platform that would provide its country with the capability to monitor its sea lanes.<br /><br />The first flight of the completed E-767 occurred on 9 August 1996 at Everett, Washington. To date only the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) has ordered the E-767, initially purchasing two in 1992, increasing the order to four in 1994. The first production E-767 entered an extensive testing and certification program with the aim of delivering the first two E-767s to the JASDF in 1998.<br /></div>rikuohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873091454992045040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548983239825714451.post-19780772027883628762012-04-22T09:49:00.002-07:002012-04-24T08:08:06.662-07:00SH-2G Super Seasprite Naval Helicopter<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeKS3lCbsXcEC4Sxl4PbiycemKwH_jWjIHMHNka_jQES0BN1hUceomWzPDvQtmP2jfjVQFI7Gus4AwGRTSpu1LowfjpsDz1iRSW0H9U-YToaMCJKnaoKucDppeCx8MfjgwPzvsM0H35qt/s1600/SH-2G+Super+Seasprite+Naval+Helicopter.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeKS3lCbsXcEC4Sxl4PbiycemKwH_jWjIHMHNka_jQES0BN1hUceomWzPDvQtmP2jfjVQFI7Gus4AwGRTSpu1LowfjpsDz1iRSW0H9U-YToaMCJKnaoKucDppeCx8MfjgwPzvsM0H35qt/s800/SH-2G+Super+Seasprite+Naval+Helicopter.jpg" alt="SH-2G Super Seasprite Naval Helicopter" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734269568484533234" border="0" /></a>The Kaman SH-2G Super Seasprite is a ship-based helicopter with anti-submarine, <span class="mw-redirect">anti-surface threat</span> capability, including <span class="mw-redirect">over-the-horizon</span> targeting.

The UK's Ministry of Defense announced its Taranis UAV design, lifting the veil off of a £124 million project that has been in development for three years and brought up a million and man hours.<br /><br />Named after the Celtic god of Thunder (Thor is Nordic), Taranis is being designed as a stealth combat vehicle capable of long-range air strikes--the MOD even claims eventual cross-continent capabilities. Ground-based testing has been ongoing since early 2010, and will conclude with the vehicle's first flight. Flight trials are expected to start in 2011.<br /><br />The technology demonstrator vehicle (TDV), the Taranis air vehicle is one of the world's largest unmanned air vehicles and is approximately the same size as the BAE Systems Hawk advanced jet trainer that is 11.35m long, 3.98m high and has a wingspan of 9.94m. On the same basis, the load of the Taranis is approximately 8t. For comparison the empty weight and take-off weight of the Hawk are 4.45t and 9.1t.<br /><br />The Taranis air vehicle contains a delta-wing shape and tricycle-type landing gear. A computer-generated video shows the system taking off from a paved runway. The Taranis air vehicle is similar in shape, if not in scale, to BAE's Raven delta-wing demonstrator unmanned air vehicle.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548983239825714451.post-68594247741829424452012-02-27T09:53:00.003-08:002012-02-27T10:00:57.562-08:00X-45 Unmanned Combat Ariel Vehicle<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBXBFUBan2I7wLMigH-lz_K7DEF5PhUIeKxP6iqUM6gLGFqvJf8mx8BDBFqimMID7cxkiLzqS0imTLiDHq-CxqG3PnLTJE2wPsffuvcy3CHyZB4BZbT10UUSgsjQsKgJhT9uyh0rNESg/s1600/X-45+Unmanned+Combat+Ariel+Vehicle.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBXBFUBan2I7wLMigH-lz_K7DEF5PhUIeKxP6iqUM6gLGFqvJf8mx8BDBFqimMID7cxkiLzqS0imTLiDHq-CxqG3PnLTJE2wPsffuvcy3CHyZB4BZbT10UUSgsjQsKgJhT9uyh0rNESg/s800/X-45+Unmanned+Combat+Ariel+Vehicle.jpg" alt="X-45 Unmanned Combat Ariel Vehicle" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713875607569253730" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Boeing joint unmanned combat air system X-45 is an unmanned combat air vehicle being developed for strike missions like Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD), electronic warfare and associated operations.<br /><br />The Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) programme began being managed by DARPA, however was handed over to a joint US Navy and Air Force office in October 2005. the two principle systems being developed under the primary part of the programme, the Spiral 0 phase, are the Boeing X-45 and <a href="http://plane-wallpaper.blogspot.com/2012/02/x-47-pegasus-ucav.html">Northrop Grumman X-47</a>.<br /><br />In March 2004, the X-45A completed a ten-day schedule of test flights as well as dropping a 250lb inert tiny smart Bomb (SSB) at NASA's Dryden Flight research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California.<br /><br />The X-45A air vehicle released the unguided weapon from its internal weapon bay at an altitude of 35,000ft and speed Mach 0.67 (about 442mph).

The helicopter aims to fulfil the growing demand for this class of helicopter in both civil and military markets in the next decade.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />According to Chinese media, the medium helicopter project was initially set as a 5,500kg class design, but later changed to 6.000kg after reviewing the potential market needs. The helicopter is likely to enter PLA service in 2015~2020, by which time its current <a href="http://plane-wallpaper.blogspot.com/2011/09/mi-8-hip-multi-role-helicopter.html">Mi-8</a>/<a href="http://plane-wallpaper.blogspot.com/2011/11/mi-17-hip-h-multi-role-helicopter.html">17</a>, S-70, Z-8 and <a href="http://plane-wallpaper.blogspot.com/2011/12/z-9-pla-army-utility-helicopter.html">Z-9</a> fleets will be reaching their life span.

The L-15 will be used as a lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT) by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF). about five prototypes are built by HAIG.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />This new trainer was designed to support the next generation of Chinese fighters, like J-10, which lacked a two-seat trainer version. The L-15 was a direct rival to the Guizhou Aircraft industry Corporation (GAIC) JL-9/FTC-2000 Mountain Eagle in competition for the People's Liberation Army Air Force's (PLAAF) next-generation advanced trainer aircraft program.<br /><br />The two-engine, two-seat JL-15 reportedly features the newest advanced technologies like digital quadruple fly-by-wire (FBW), glass cockpit, and hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) flight control. Advanced features like glass cockpit, HOTAS and digital FBW were expected to be customary. additionally, large leading edge extentions (LEX) almost like those on Russian Yak-130 advanced trainer would offer the aircraft a good angle of attack (AOA). The aerodynamic performance of the aircraft is enhanced by its large leading edge extensions (LEX) design, which provides a maximum angle of attack of 30°. this is very helpful when making an attempt to simulate the maneuvers of advanced fourth-generation fighters like J-10 and <a href="plane-wallpaper.blogspot.com/2011/08/jianjiji-11-chinese-2-engine-fighter.html">J-11</a>.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
