China's J-20 designers propose wing-mounted radar for stealth jets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Chinese aerospace engineers are developing a novel approach to integrate powerful radar systems directly into the wings of fighter jets, specifically the J-20 stealth fighter. This design aims to overcome the space limitations of traditional aircraft radomes by embedding large antenna arrays within the wings themselves. The proposed system would leverage flight maneuvers and coordinated drone formations to enhance radar coverage during aerial combat scenarios. AI

    China’s J-20 stealth jet designers plan to put powerful radar into aircraft wing

    Fighter jets typically house their main radars behind a radome in the nose, while conventional airborne early-warning aircraft often carry large radar arrays in prominent structures above the fuselage. Although aircraft wings offer a large surface area, their relatively thin cros…
