COMBAT AIRCRAFT AND ITS COMBAT LASER SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64D7/00 F41H13/00 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: combat aircraft comprises airframe, even number of gas turbine engines arranged on aircraft front wings, and weapons, namely onboard lasers mounted above and below engines. The latter are connected, via air intake lines incorporating control valves, with gas turbine engines. Every gas turbine engine comprises compressor, combustion chamber and turbine. Air intake pipeline communicates with manifold arranged downstream of gas turbine engine compressor. All combat lasers can turn vertically and horizontally. Airframe front and rear top parts accommodate guidance lasers. Aircraft combat laser system comprises onboard combat lasers mounted on every engine, on its top and bottom, and comprising optical heads and exhaust systems. Gasdynamic combat lasers communicate, via air intake pipelines, with gas turbine engine compressors, and are arranged to fire forward and backward. Proposed system comprises onboard computer and guidance lasers connected between themselves and with vertical guidance and rotation drives.

EFFECT: improved combat performances.
