Boeing F-47 Phoenix - Futuristic Klingon-Style or XB-70 Valkyrie-Type of 6th-Generation Plasma Stealth Fighter with Mach 3 Capabilities based on Plasma Shock Wave Mitigation, Plasma Controlled Infrared Signature Masking of Exhaust Plumes and Plasma Contrail Suppression?? @ChrisSchmitz made interesting comments regarding the "cold jet with no discernable exphaust plume" and noticed that "this is, if real, godtier thermal management." And yesterday, he uploaded an interesting video also discussing the exhaust nozzle and thermal management system of the F-47's three-stream adaptive cycle engine P&W XA103. That engine "can direct air to the bypass third stream for increased fuel efficiency and cooling or to the core and fan streams for additional thrust and performance." x.com/chrisschmitz/status/20… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_… But is sophisticated air mixing alone sufficient to make an almost perfect infrared masking of the exhaust plumes as we can see on the @ProjectFearX regarding @Boeing's Penetrating Counter-Air (PCA) X-plane demonstrator for @DARPA and the @USAirForce Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Fighter Program? We don't know for sure but would like to show you some interesting open-source publications about more exotic thermal management and shock wave splitting systems based on High-Tech Plasma Processes (HTPP). Were these plasma technologies originally developed for the @NorthropGrumman B-2? The question is highly speculative but it is quite possible. And @Boeing was principal subcontractor on the B-2 Spirit program and also initially involved in the B-21 Raider program's preliminary stages including wind tunnel testings. In 1979, Northrop studied two basic mission profiles: 1. Low Altitude Penetrator as a low-span lifting body and 2. High Altitude Penetrator as a long-span flying wing. The first concept was based on a supersonic slender delta wing. And both concepts were aerodynamically designed by Hans Werner Grellmann. See here for his AIAA-paper "B-2 Aerodynamic Design" from 1990: arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514… From the end 60s to the 70s, Northrop published a series of interesting papers on supersonic plasma aerodynamics (electroaerodynamics). They used negative corona discharges to split shock waves but never went into details or discussed any theory. They obviously knew what they were doing as only negative discharges have a so-called Trichel regime, a transitional state between a low-current Townsend and high-current glow regime. The charge density is important and must reach a criticial point. But it is even more important to have a pulsed regime to generate controlled or use uncontrolled plasma solitary waves. The uncontrolled case is a series of Trichel pulses with usually 50-100 kHz. These are nanosecond high voltage discharges and produce very fast ionization waves. Those ion-acoustic solitons travel with speeds far beyond the speed of sound and can act as "phantom bodies" and split shock waves even at hypersonic speeds. There are different methods based on pulse modulation, wave mixing and so on. The wave drag of the sum of those weaker shocks is much lower than the drag of the previous strong shock. In such a case, there should be no sonic boom anymore. The final effect is partly comparable with the action of mechanical bumps or ramps to split transonic shock waves on wings or supersonic inlets. In the same way, shortly pulsed plasma discharges can be also used to damp the shocks on fast running helicopter blades and propellers. Imagine stealth helicopters which can be made silent by just switching on a plasma field. "In 1968, Aviation Week reported that Northop was evaluating “electrical forces to condition the air flowing around an aircraft at supersonic speeds“ to reduce drag, heating and sonic boom effects. The findings were promising enough to justify funding of additional research (AW&ST Jan. 22, 1968, p. 21). By negatively ionizing air molecules ahead of an aircraft, then charging the nose to the same polarity, an electrostatic field was formed. The field tended to repel or alter the molecules‘ path as the aircraft approached, according to the article. If the “black world“ actually has developed feasible ways to reduce airframe drag substantially with controlled electrostatic fields, commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines should be campaigning mightily for the technology. The potential fuel and cost savings for just American, United and Delta would be staggering." W. B. Scott, “Black world engineers, scientists encourage using highly classified technology for civil applications,” Aviation Week & Space Technology, March 9, 1992, pp. 66-67. --- Today, researchers at Arizona State University (@ASU) and @NorthropGrumman are working on a new project to create power transistors from diamond. Power transistors have traditionally been made with silicon. But the ASU Advanced Materials team, working with Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, is investigating diamond because it dissipates heat 8 to 10 times more efficiently than current materials. This means harnessing diamond to its full potential could reduce the size of power transistors by 90 percent. Silicon has long been the standard material for semiconductor devices. Power transistors regulate the flow of electrical power and have traditionally been made with silicon, while more advanced modern transistors are made of materials such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride." This was a news by Techbriefs from January 27, 2023. techbriefs.com/component/con… Frank A Koeck from ASU published papers on microwave plasma chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond films and their applications as field electron emitters since 2003. search.asu.edu/profile/11077… researchgate.net/scientific-… lnkd.in/dNsQcmnU His latest paper about diamond diodes was published with colleagues from Northrop Grumman in February 2024. pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/article… But the breakthrough for diamond transistors came in Januar 2024 from Japan which is currently also leading the world in the field of plasma metamaterials. livescience.com/technology/e… compoundsemiconductor.net/ar… "The 1980s witnessed the first growth of diamond by CVD, followed by the exploration of doping processes in the 1990s. Since then, those involved in developing synthetic diamond have expanded their knowledge of this material, in terms of characterisation, manufacturing and processing. As a material for power electronics, what is the promise of diamond? Well, it has an ultra-wide band gap, an exceptional carrier mobility, a breakdown voltage estimated at a tantalizing 10 MV/cm, and the best-known thermal conductivity. Thanks to these phenomenal attributes, diamond has been called the ultimate power semiconductor. Devices made from this form of carbon have the potential to boost the voltage of components while increasing their efficiency, trimming losses and cutting costs."

But the modern IR camera from @ProjectFearX is obviously less vulnerable and can highly effectively filter out IR noise and ambient interference via digitial signal processing algorithms to isolate the target signal from background noise. Extreme brightness can be also used for other means of visual stealth: "Yehudi lights are lamps of automatically controlled brightness placed on the front and leading edges of an aircraft to raise the aircraft's luminance to the average brightness of the sky, a form of active camouflage using counter-illumination. They were designed to camouflage the aircraft by preventing it from appearing as a dark object against the sky. The technology was developed by the @USNavy from 1943 onwards, to enable a sea-search aircraft to approach a surfaced submarine to "within 30 seconds of flying time"[1] before becoming visible to the submarine's crew. This in turn enabled the aircraft to engage the submarine with depth charges before it could dive, to counter the threat from German submarines to allied shipping. The concept was based on earlier research by the Royal Canadian Navy in its diffused lighting camouflage project." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi… Today, flashlights use no classical lamps anymore and are based on high-powered LED arrays. In 2019 for instance, we could read that "an even more exotic skin is being tested on two stealth aircraft in Nevada. The smart skin is derived from an electromagnetically conductive polyaniline-based radar-absorbent composite material. It is optically transparent except when electrically charged, much like the LCDs used in laptop computers. What makes this new material attractive is that it can change brightness and color instantaneously. Photo-sensitive receptors, mounted on all sides of the plane, read the ambient light and color of the sky and ground. An onboard computer adjusts the brightness, hue, and texture of the skin to match the sky above the plane or the terrain below it." LumiLor for instance is a such a conductive, colour-changing paint that turns on and off by reacting to an electric charge. It can change cars to driving mega-displays. BMW also presented such a paint on the iX E Ink at CES 2022: youtube.com/watch?v=DVlrio1i… youtube.com/watch?v=NJ-IqtIK… Today, "lightweight panels that are able to change colour on demand" can give even mini "defence drones the chameleon effect, letting it change colour matching the background." newtechnologynews.com/aviati… dst.defence.gov.au/sites/def… "UAV visual signature suppression via adaptive materials" was already demonstrated 2005 on a mini drone with 2m wingspan. It was fitted with optically adaptive electroluminescent sheets to drop the Visual Cross Section (VCS) from 4,200 cm² to less than 1.8 cm² at 100 m. That's very impressive and could be easily adopted on future high-tech mini drones using more lightweight paints and panels. materialsresearchgate.net/pu… So imagine what might be already possible on very expensive high-tech stealth aircrafts and drones like the B-21 Raider or the RQ-180 to make them almost invisible to the naked eye. twz.com/29543/the-visible-hi… In this regard, a futuristic Klingon-style or XB-70 Valkyrie-type @Boeing F-47 Phoenix might be very stealthy. It might even use high-tech plasma tech to fly faster than the legendary Mig-31 and Mig-25 Foxbat which still keeps the world altitude record with 37.65 km (123,523 ft) and could pass Mach 3.2 at 27 km (89,000 ft). But now let's come back to exotic thermal management and contrail suppression techniques using high-tech plasma processes. Hold on and read what was written in the above mentioned legendary @AviationWeek & Space Technology article "Black world engineers, scientists encourage using highly classified technology for civil applications" published by William B. Scott in the March 9, 1992 issue on page 66-67: "Engineers working on highly classified programs cited other technologies that appeared to this editor as only military related. They said that – if the principles were widely understood – though, there would be definite commercial applications. One was a “thermal signature masking technology … which is used on the B-2 [stealth bomber],“ an engineer said. “Basically, it‘s an electrostatic heat transfer phenomena that charges the jet engine exhaust stream to disperse the heat by a factor of about 800. It does a remarkable job of altering the thermal signature.“ He said the same basic technology, used in wing leading edges, can reduce a flying vehicle’s radar cross section (RCS) by masking thermal signatures created by aerodynamic perturbations of the air. “The radar signature of an incoming warhead can be reduced to less than 10%“ of its normal value, the engineer said. “We found that radar cross section had a lot to do with aerodynamics and turbulence - past certain speeds.“ Electrostatic field-generating techniques in the B-2’s wing leading edges may help reduce ist RCS. The bomber’s leading edges posed a particularly challenging production problem on the first aircraft, and may have been the source of diminished results during early stealth flight test. In 1968, Aviation Week reported that Northop was evaluating “electrical forces to condition the air flowing around an aircraft at supersonic speeds“ to reduce drag, heating and sonic boom effects. The findings were promising enough to justify funding of additional research (AW&ST Jan. 22, 1968, p. 21). By negatively ionizing air molecules ahead of an aircraft, then charging the nose to the same polarity, an electrostatic field was formed. The field tended to repel or alter the molecules‘ path as the aircraft approached, according to the article. If the “black world“ actually has developed feasible ways to reduce airframe drag substantially with controlled electrostatic fields, commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines should be campaigning mightily for the technology. The potential fuel and cost savings for just American, United and Delta would be staggering. A scientist said other, more dramatic, classified technologies are applicable to lasers, aircraft control and propulsion. However, the scientists and engineers were especially hesitant to discuss these projects. One said they are “very black. Besides, it would take about 20 hr. to explain the principles, and very few people would understand them anyway.“" --- Imagine hypersonic aircrafts and drones with turbojet engines running from horizontal take-off to hypersonic speeds beyond Mach 7 . In combination with a bow shock-splitting nanosecond pulse plasma triggered MHD counterflow jet system those "shockless" vehicles would be really cool without a sonic boom. Here you can find a Vision for a MHD-Controlled Turbojet Engine for Sustained Hypersonic Flight by the Legendary Isaiah Blankson from @NASA who openly writes here on his presentation from 2014 that “shockless” supersonic flow is possible! netl.doe.gov/sites/default/f… So let's go back to the roots and start with Robert von Helmholtz, the son of the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz who first demonstrated the amazing effect of corona discharges and sulfide acid on water vapor condensations almost 139 year ago: "Versuche mit einem Dampfstrahl" ("Experiments with a steam jet") (1887). The former research group around professor Charles Krüger at @Stanford University pioneered some of the cutting-edge work on plasma stealth using (structured) electron clouds from diamond emitters and plasma controlled thermal infrared signature masking by air plasma radiation. See here for some of his public reports: Final Technical Report on INFRARED SIGNATURE MASKING BY AIR PLASMA RADIATION for the Period June 1, 1997 to October 31, 2000 submitted by Charles Krüger and Christophe Laux. ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/… Annual Scientific Report on INFRARED SIGNATURE MASKING BY AIR PLASMA RADIATION for the Period June 1, 1997 to July 31, 1998 submitted by Charles Krüger and Christopher Laux. ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/… Charles Krüger was one of the leading scientists who pioneered atmospheric diamond synthesis for aerospace applications in the 80s and 90s. Today, these are also key technologies for novel plasma anti-/de-icing methods as we use on our Corona Bat 1.11. More details about the world's most advanced high-tech mini UAV will be soon released.
