Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

where am i supposed to get those books from?

Looking forward to the Object 195 the most. Interesting to see if it comes before, or after the T-14, which should come to the game now too, based on the 195’s capabilities.

I can, look at the tail section and at the connecting point

@quartas121 here you have a badly cropped page from the google books preview


actually the more you look at both, they are way more different

they are still very similar aircraft and its clear they took “inspiration” from the E-2

Yes inspiration last time I’ve check being inspired doesn’t mean it’s been stolen

It’s like saying Cunard Aquitania stolen the Olympic class because that was inspired by it because it has 4 funnels

door placement is slightly different wow

and it looks like the only other differences are antennas which still means the airframe is largely copied

dont think i said it was stolen, if i did then copy would be a more correct description

fair enough then, the paper was used to refine the software.

found the books

Anyway speaking about Olympic time to watch another maiden voyage video

Ok so it simplified the process but still doesn’t negate all previous RCS reducing experience and development of RAM coating years before. So all of the US stealth tech does not come from this one paper

they had problems with diffraction which they solved with a soviet research paper

saying soviet research wasnt involved in the US stealth development is a lie
and it is still used to calculate the optimal shapes for stealth aircraft
(the most important aspect of a stealth aircraft)

The base software was still made by Lockheed. I’m sure they refined the computers and formulas past the Soviet paper to make things like the F-22, and more recently B-21

It helped but everything else is Lockheed or USAF or CIA

which wasnt able to give correct results

it only was able to calculate the correct values after they applied that research paper

and everything after that is based on the F-117 programm regarding steath

The Z-20 is an S-70 airframe modified to fit specific requirements for the Chinese military. Its more of a variant than a copy if anything

Also remember china has/had S-70s in service in some capacity so its an airframe they would have had plenty of experience with. Its no different then Chinese Flankers really.
