Not for turbofan engines. It's measured in thrust, either foot-pounds or kilonewtons. Turboprops are still often measured in horsepower but they're not used in fighters.

Well then. What would a supercharged Engine clock in at?

You don't supercharge turbine engines. Every turbine engine already has a compressor since they need it to operate. They are completely different from reciprocating engines. You should look at the thrust figures on Wikipedia to get an idea what modern jet engines are capable of.

Someone said the 3 X ATmo pressure would make it easier for the jet to get the same amount of energy.

Because it increases the basic pressure, yes. However, this would be offset by increased atmospheric drag, so you'd need more power to begin with.

I know, Which is why they will be made of some type of Carbon fiber and Aluminium, as well as have over sized engines. What did they use for the edges of the...X-48?

None of that will offset drag, which is not a function of weight but of surface area. The X-48 had conventional construction as far as I can tell because it wasn't meant to test new skin or engine types, it was meant to test a new fuselage design.

O. They said it used some sort of ultra heat resistant carbon for the edges so it wouldn't abrase it's self into oblivion.

And Okay. SO Titanium?

[A Hooloovoo]

Hm, can modernized SEPECAT Jaguar into relevance today? Or is it pretty much obsolete nowadays?

cuz I want dat overwing Sidewinder swag

If you're going that fast, may as well just use ceramic tiles. Not seriously though because it's hard to actually go that fast.

Titanium and aluminum are the most common metals used in aircraft due to their light weight, although steel is common as well for its low cost and strength. Carbon fiber has been catching on as of late in civilian airliners but there are concerns about how to properly inspect it since it doesn't show damage as readily as metals and it isn't as resistant to bird strikes and the like.

You certainly won't be dogfighting with it against anything other than another CAS aircraft like an A-10.

Would it still be a respectable CAS/strike fighter though?

Okay Aluminium and Titanium: Light and Strong, But Fairly expensive
Steel: Cheap, Heavy, Very strong
CF: Cheap-Very expensive, Strong, Hard to tell if it's damaged.


SO about that? 50,000 Foot Pounds per engine?

It'd be a CAS aircraft but not really a strike fighter. And it'd need a big overhaul to the avionics which were never very good.

[A Hooloovoo]

Is there even any point in modernizing it if I use Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2s and Rafales?

If you need a cheap expendable aircraft to operate in safe airspaces and lack enough modern fighters to carry out the job, maybe.

Invalid question.

A supercharger is an air-intake compressor.

Jet engines have a compressor-stage by default.

I know and the Air is already compressed to 10th of what Jet's on earth do. SO you could If it scales, have 3 times...2 times the compression from the same sized motor...Engine thing.

Would exceed the stress-tolerances of the turbine.

Closest anaolouge would be air-breathing engines optimized for traveling supersonic at sea level.

[New Korongo]

The F-17C Buccaneer is an air superiority fighter produced by Robinson Aeronautical Engineering which currently serves in large numbers with the United Provincial Aviation Forces. The original Buccaneer was intended to be an interim design that replaced the large number of aircraft lost during the Second Korongolese Civil War in the period before purchasing new SF-27 Thunderstorm stealth fighters was economically viable. When the excessive flaws in the Thunderstorm design became apparent and further production was cancelled, the decision to produce more Buccaneers was made and the modified C variant has become New Korongo’s primary air superiority fighter. They are commonly assigned to National Fighter Wings, where they patrol New Korongo’s air space, and Tactical Fighter Wings, where they protect multirole aircraft from other fighters during combat operations.

[Neonistan]

During recent talks with foreign militaries the Emirate of Neonistan decided to drastically modernize his military, and so he moved toward a reliance on part Asian and part European military tech because most of his family is Asian and he wishes to separate ties with the middle east. That is why he chose the NF-1 as one of the new fighters for the air force.

The NF-2 was acquired through a deal with help from a foreign advisor sent by the nation of Das Schmutzige Huhn. The Emirate plans to buy between 500 and 1000 NF-2's to help modernize his air force.

The NF-3 is the first modern jet produced by a Neonistan company. The NF-3 was created by Good Guys Inc. as a response to build a domestic aircraft. During a competition the NF-3 beat all other domestic entry's and Good Guys Inc. now has an order of about 600 NF-3's to fulfill.

[Gig em Aggies]

This is the future of the Gig em Aggies Air force. This is the CC-33 which will replace all frontline jet fighters of the Gig em Aggies Air Force. The CC-33 patrols enemy and friendly airspace once enemy fighters are detected the CC-33 crew will release Swarm Fighters to dispatch the threat without endangering the lives of humans. Each CC-33 carries around 25 SF-53's

This is the SF-53 (pictured above) it is carried around in a CC-33, once enemy fighters are detected they will drop from the CC-33 and dispatch the enemy with speed and accuracy.
