American Fighter Died Weakly Because The Soviet Union

According to American military expert Caleb Larson, the XF-108 American rapier was dead when there was not once to take off the majority of the Soviet Union. The American family said that the 1950s witnessed significantly changes In the military aviation industry, especially the development of jet engines to replace the rotor engine. Also during this period, the US Air Force has moved very close to one of the modern super fighters Most of that time. In July 1955, the United States passed the LRI-X project with the goal of manufacturing a high-performance long-range interceptor fighter. Click XF-108 Rapier

. This plane expects to replace F-102 Delta fighters Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart in payroll. In the bidding companies, North American Aviation Group (NAA), the manufacturer of P-51 Mustang fighter was very successful during World War II, proposing XF-108 RAPIER fighter project. The rapier has a overall length of 27 m, wingspan 17
5 m and 6.7 m high. Aircraft can operate long range with maximum speed reached on Mach 3 (faster than Russia's MiG-31), taking on the quest for hunting and destroying Soviet nuclear bombers if the war occurs The two countries.xf-108 will support XB-70 Valkyrie mechanical bombers which are capable of reaching speed of over 3,700 km / h (Mach 3). This duo can take advantage of high speed to penetrate the Soviet air defense system, in which XF-108 fighters will respond to enemy interceptor fighting. According to the plan, NAA equipped for XF-108 Radar Hughes AN / ASG-18 with the search system and infrared tracking to maximize the ability to detect targets at a long distance with high accuracy. The main gas of XF-108 is garment 9 has a range of over 160 km and speeds of nearly 7,000 km / h. This super-fighter can carry three Gar-9 bullets attached to the rotating platform in the body. XF-108 reaches a large speed thanks to equipping two J93-Ge-3ar jet engines with a total of more than 26 tons . Meanwhile, the two GE F414 jet engines on modern F / A-18E / F fighters only reached the force of nearly 19 tons in energy efficiency
But XF-108 fighters had no chance to take off. The introduction of the Soviet Renal Rocket and cross-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) makes its mission no longer needed. The Soviet can launch ICBM from its territory, or onion missiles The submission and ballistic from the submarine hidden under the sea, without risking the bombing of the American airspace. At the end of 1959, the XF-108 program was destroyed when it was new to the modeling stage. The XB-70 muscle bombardment also succumbed to the fate after causing a deadly accident during the test flight. Death but some technologies and experiences in the XF-108 superjitting design are applied by NAA Group Applying for bombing super bars on the flagship A-5 / RA-5 vigilante. The Gar-9 fire is later developed with AIM-147 Falcon and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles equipped for F-14 fighters. Ngoc Hoa
