134: Chapter 134 Dominator Fighter! Adaptive Variable Cycle Engine! Mach 12 Flight Speed!

The number of countries attending this year's Eagle Country International Airshow is far greater than in the past.

The main reason is not just that Eagle Country is conducting the maiden flight of its sixth-generation fighter jet.

Most crucially, the high-level officials of various countries received news upon invitation that Eagle Country's sixth-generation fighter jet would be offered for public military sale on an unprecedented scale after the maiden flight demonstration!

After receiving this news, many countries could not sit still.

They successively sent defense envoys to the airshow venue to discuss the purchase of the fighter jets.

Of course, new fighter jets and military sales alone were not enough to make so many countries, especially neutral countries that basically did not participate in the Eagle Country International Airshow in the past, all come to attend.

Some neutral countries had self-awareness and knew Eagle Country's true colors well.

The purchasing rights for the new fighter jets would most likely be a mere formality, ultimately falling into the hands of those Eagle Country lackeys in the Western Alliance.

The previous F-22 Raptor and Lightning 35 fighter jets were all like that.

Other countries want to buy? Not a chance!

Eagle Country did it before, and they will definitely do it again this time!

Knowing full well that it had nothing to do with them, these neutral countries still came to join the excitement; of course, there was another reason they had to come!

That is, they wanted to be spectators, pulling up a chair to watch the show!

Recently, the usually good-natured China has suddenly become tough. Really tough!

Not only did it publicly accuse Eagle Country at the United Nations meeting, but it also miraculously won the nine-nation maritime combat exercise. Now, it even dares to hold the China International Airshow and Military Equipment Exhibition during the same period as the Eagle Country International Airshow!

Isn't this just a blatant slap in the face?

For this reason, many neutral countries on the planet not only sent personnel to attend the airshow, but their heads of state and defense ministers also held real-time connections with the defense envoys on site, not for anything else, but just to see how Eagle Country would respond to this challenge from China!

How could they not watch such a high-stakes showdown?

Amidst everyone's anxious waiting, time passed second by second. Twenty minutes later. Ten o'clock sharp, Eagle Country time.

The host took the stage on time, and after a brief opening remark, Secretary of Defense Charles of Eagle Country, dressed in military uniform, officially appeared.

"Respected defense envoys from various countries, dear ladies and gentlemen!"

"Welcome to our 2012 Los Santos International Airshow, and this is also the 30th consecutive international airshow held by Eagle Country!"

On the podium, Charles laughed loudly and said:

"In today's airshow, we will conduct the maiden flight ceremony for Eagle Country's sixth-generation fighter jet — the NGAD Dominator Fighter Jet!"

Charles did not waste a single word, getting straight to the point without any intention of hiding anything.

Everyone present showed excitement.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to this new fighter jet for a long time!"

Charles clapped his hands. Soon, ten new fighter jets slowly taxied from the distance across the vast airshow plaza, stopping on the runway in the center of the plaza.

This sci-fi-looking new fighter jet instantly captured everyone's attention!

Regarding Eagle Country's sixth-generation fighter jet, those who came to the scene were basically prepared, but when they truly saw the real thing, everyone was still deeply shocked!

"God! What am I seeing?"

"This Dominator Fighter Jet's fuselage design has never appeared on this planet before!"

"Where are the vertical stabilizers? There are no vertical stabilizers; it's a tailless design!"

"What the f*ck, this is just too cool!"

"..."

This unprecedented exterior fuselage design shimmered with a silver-white luster under the sunlight; it was truly too cool!

Veteran military enthusiasts were even more excited; beneath this fuselage design, there were clearly hidden countless brand-new technologies!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a major design change!

Most importantly, even the iconic vertical stabilizer design of fighter jets had been canceled!

What does this mean? It means that previous fuselage designs were too backward and could no longer meet the thrust requirements of fighter engines!

Analyzing it this way, doesn't it mean that even the previously most advanced low-bypass turbofan engines on the planet have been completely eliminated?

Then, just how terrifying is the new engine of this new fighter jet?

Regarding this question, Charles on the stage soon gave the answer.

"Friends,"

"The NGAD Dominator Fighter Jet is the latest sixth-generation fighter jet developed by Eagle Country!"

"The Dominator Fighter Jet's performance in all aspects is extremely excellent. It can completely crush fifth-generation fighters; all existing fighter models of countries on this planet will have no power to fight back in front of the Dominator!"

Charles said confidently.

"Before the maiden flight, please allow me to give a brief introduction!"

"The specific advantages of the Dominator Fighter Jet are mainly reflected in the following aspects,"

"The first performance advantage is the flight speed, which far exceeds that of fifth-generation fighter jets!"

"The power engine equipped on the Dominator Fighter Jet is the YF-140 Adaptive Variable Cycle Engine newly developed and designed by Eagle Country!"

"It includes turbojet mode, turbofan mode, and hypersonic ramjet mode, which can greatly enhance hypersonic flight performance!"

"With the support of this new type of engine, the Dominator Fighter Jet's maximum mission speed will reach Mach 12!"

Boom! Charles's words instantly ignited the entire venue!

A flight speed of Mach 12? Are you mistaken? Isn't this faster than some missiles?!

"Secretary of Defense Charles, Mach 12, are you sure?"

The defense envoy from Australia couldn't help but raise his hand to ask.

"A few years ago, the Eagle Country Department of Defense set the standard for the sixth-generation fighter jet, and the maximum mission speed designed at that time was only Mach 6!"

"Now, the Dominator Fighter Jet's maximum mission speed has actually doubled?"

Charles smiled and nodded. He smiled and said.

"My friend, the envoy from Australia, I did not say a single word wrong!"

"Also, have you noticed that I did not distinguish between cruising speed and maximum mission speed?"

Upon hearing this, the envoy from Australia couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed he hadn't noticed...

Charles suppressed his embarrassment and continued to say with a smile.

"That is because this Adaptive Variable Cycle Engine developed by us, Eagle Country, can automatically adjust parameters such as pressure ratio, turbine temperature, and bypass ratio according to flight status!"

"Thereby achieving long-duration supersonic penetration!"

"During approximately one and a half hours of continuous flight, it can always maintain the best efficiency and flight performance!"

"The fuel consumption only increased by two times!"

As soon as this was said, everyone present was shocked!

One and a half hours of supersonic penetration? WTF??

You must know, at a flight speed of Mach 12, circling the planet is only two hours!

What does this represent? It represents that the Dominator Fighter Jet's combat strike radius has already covered the entire planet!

Departing from Los Santos, flying over the Pacific Ocean, taking a stroll to China and back, the Dominator Fighter Jet can still maintain its maximum mission speed throughout the entire journey!

On the planet today, what combat mission is there that requires the Dominator Fighter Jet to conserve fuel?

With such a combat strike range, is there any need to distinguish between maximum speed and cruising speed?
