[Making the 5th generation jet fighter of innovation into shape with the precision that has been carefully selected]
-The evolution of jet fighters, which began to be put into combat at the end of World War II, is now progressing to the 5th generation.
-Fourth-generation aircraft such as the F-16 and F/A-18 are equipped with turbofan engines with afterburners that provide excellent thrust, achieving high mobility.
-In addition to this 4th generation capability, the 5th generation jet fighter is characterized by high stealth, network operation capability, and situational identification capability through sensor fusion, and the representative is the F-35 Lightning. II.
- Conventional Take-Off and Landing (CTOL) F-35A for the Air Force, Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing (STOVL) F-35B for the Marine Corps, and Carrier-Based (CV) for the Navy under the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program The F-35, which was developed simultaneously with three derivatives of the type F-35C, can be equipped with weapons such as bombs and air-to-air missiles in the fuselage arsenal, without compromising stealth or flight performance. Can perform a wide range of tasks.
-In addition, information obtained from various sensors on each part of the aircraft is automatically integrated and shared with other fighters and ships via data links.
- By combining these and displaying them on the large cockpit display and helmet visor, we support the pilot's judgment of the situation.
- The F-35 successfully completed its maiden flight in December 2006, and the US Air Force, Italian Air Force, and Japan Air Self-Defense Force have already decided to adopt the F-35A.
- With the increasing importance of national land and territorial defense, the number of orders will continue to increase in the future, and there is no doubt that it will continue to be the cornerstone of the world's air force.
