Blue Fighters Vol 4

[Blanchefle Strycker]

Theblue color is given by the characteristic EM radiation of C-H bond breaking, C- and H- radicals forming and recombining with O- radicals to form CO2 and H2O. This is independent of temperature and is the reason why a new gas oven's flames are blue.

On closer inspection, the orange color seems to be solely coming from the glowing afterburner's inner wall, as opposed to the exhaust, although the exhaust is glowing also. This seems to confirm my guess that Western afterburners run hotter.

OK, I've spoken to some guys from one of the ex-Soviet design bureaus. One of them said the blue color is the result of cold afterburner and Sukhoi afterburner design, the fuel being dumped at acute angles into the center of the cylinder using a few big injectors.

The light problem is quite easy, during the day we don't see much of the blue colour as there are other sources of light brighter. At night as seen it shows as a source of light. Then the question arises, why can't we see the Balck body radiation, simple because the AB exhaust is brighter.

Blue Dragon is a great series that Microsoft owns, and people are always asking for a sequel and for the original to be made backwards compatible on the Xbox One. I happen to enjoy playing it again every few years and today it dawned on me that Shu (the main character) would make such a cool and interesting guest fighter for KI.

As you can see, he fights mostly with his Blue Dragon spirit. That alone has so much potential for interesting move sets, and there can be even a few moves where Shu himself attacks with a dagger (like in the first hour of the game before he gets the Blue Dragon spirit)

I fully understand that, but it is something that will continue with how well received the guests have been. People (like me) just were letdown by the lack of original new fighters. Since the entire original character roster is now in the game, that will no longer be an issue future seasons

i never really liked the 10 year old hero trope so making him as old as Zola (18-20 year old person) would be better. i really like the dragon as the image of the shadow instead of another animal and seeing a blue cannon clashing with a devastation beam would make me smile like i was a kid again when i first saw the show.

although i would perfer it to be a dragon simply because dragons are beings that exude power realisticly anything can be used as a shadow. a shadow could realistically take the shape of any animal mythic or real and still be a good concept. the show had sabre toothed tigers, Minotaurs, giant bat thingies and even a Valkyrie( a norse armored female warrior with wings)

it doesnt even have to be a literal creature but a shadow beast that can transform into an amalgamation of whatever it needs like Zato from Guilty gear or this guy tokoyami from my hero academia0078-018.png17121250 1.47 MB

Well the great thing about Shu being a shorter fighter with the Blue Dragon spirit behind him is that it brings the spirit (which will be doing most of the fighting) much closer to the eye level of a regular sized fighter. To me that just makes it more workable for the fighter idea his character would introduce.

well the thing is realisticly getting shu into KI would be like getting samurai jack into KI. an amazing dream but still just a dream. guest charecters are made with the plan to increase KI sales by bringing in fans of the guest(with the exception of rash i think because it was to advertise the rare anniversary pack thingy that had both KI and battletoads although fans of battletoads were attracted regardless.)

there is little gain for KI itself to get an old anime charecter into the game. not to mention all of the legal issues and contract. microsoft and IG to an extent is a company first and they do stuff to get a surplus in the money invested in a deal. the amount of money to ressurect Blue dragon isnt worth the money they would get in return. its better to get an original charecter that is shu in all but name in KI instead.

Fifth-generation fighters (such as the F-22 and F-35) have all-aspect stealth, highly advanced active and passive sensors, digital avionics (sensor) fusion, and sophisticated processors that can execute many sensor management functions autonomously.[1]

Admin includes emergency procedures, starting the airplane, taxi, takeoff, flying in the weather, etc. Admin has changed because the aircraft is easier to fly due to advances in flight control logic, autopilot, autothrottle, and software programs such as Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System (AGCAS). Fifth-generation simulators are more capable than fourth-generation simulators which also improves admin training. Even with these advances, admin remains a critical part of employing a fighter aircraft. A majority of mishaps still occur during this phase of flight.

Tactics include employing the weapon system, shooting missiles, teamwork, threat knowledge, etc. Tactics have also changed with the shift from fourth to fifth-generation fighter aircraft. Fifth-generation fighters have dynamic stealth and advanced sensors, both of which are optimized when aircraft operate outside of visual range from each other. The first distinction, dynamic stealth, can be described as,

In contrast to previous generations of stealthy platforms, fifth-generation aircraft know the locations of both surface and air threats, and they know at what ranges and angles they can be detected. Because of this, fifth-generation fighters enjoy advanced battlespace awareness that allows their pilots to manage their signature by maneuvering to avoid detection.[3]

While dynamic stealth requires that members of a formation operate outside of visual range from each other, advanced sensors enable formation members to operate outside of visual range from each other. These two differences enable the paradigm change from a fourth-generation wingman that follows their flight lead around as an extension of their will to a fifth-generation wingman that is executing more independently.

Without the requirement to spend the majority of their time visually deconflicting from their flight lead, fifth-generation wingmen are now free to interpret the battlespace and execute in accordance with their tactical priorities. This freedom from maintaining the visual on their flight lead, combined with advanced capabilities such as sensor fusion, explains why tactics for a fifth-generation fighter pilots have changed compared to their fourth-generation counterparts.

Performance under stress is the most difficult fighter pilot fundamental to quantify. A fighter pilot can drop 100 bombs and hit the target every time with nothing else going on. If you give them a time on target, put in some weather, and add enemy air and surface threats, that hit rate drops. The hit rate difference between the benign environment and the busy one is performance under stress. Properly stressing a fighter pilot has two major benefits. First, it puts them in the learning zone (not too much stress, not too little stress) in order to maximize the learning for a given training scenario. Second, a proper level of stress quickly finds the gaps in their knowledge and ability.

Preparing fifth-generation pilots to outthink a peer adversary requires accelerated learning. New fifth-generation fighter pilots will be expected to make decisions that previously were made by pilots with thousands of hours of experience. To make up for this gap in experience, fifth-generation pilots must learn faster. Humility (for both the instructor and student) is a prerequisite to accelerated learning. Admitting that you do not know all of the answers while being willing to do your best to find the solution is something that is easy to say but tough to do.

Starting with a foundation of humility, a growth mindset is the next component of accelerated learning. Someone with a growth mindset sees failure as part of the learning process. Someone with a fixed mindset sees failure as a reflection of their character and intelligence. The latter shuts down when confronted with their own failure while the former sees the failure as a valuable learning opportunity. A fifth-generation fighter pilot with a growth mindset will learn much faster than one with a fixed mindset.[4]

The third aspect of training that must change is updating our threshold for what is basic for a fifth-generation fighter pilot. This component includes updates to both training resources (what we train with) and training methods (how we train).

Improving training resources includes advancements in air and surface threat replication, incorporation of friendly assets into training scenarios, integration with other services/nations/domains, etc. This also includes improving the quality and capability of the simulators and other virtual training options. Improvements in training resources raise the level of basic for a fifth-generation pilot.

An example of the third pillar, changing our definition of basic, is exposing fifth-generation pilots to scenarios that can test many of the topics covered in this article. This exposure includes situations that involve problem-solving against a peer adversary, executing with constant shifts between tactical and operational decision-making, being stressed at a proper level for learning, and operating with more autonomy. Basic course (B-course) student participation in Flag-level Large Force Exercises (LFEs) is one way to achieve this level of training.

Flag-level LFEs are exercises that most closely replicate combat sorties in a major conflict. They include fifty or more friendly aircraft, multi-domain integration, and professional adversary forces. These factors are usually too expensive and cumbersome to incorporate into daily training sorties. Flag-level LFEs were the ultimate test of a pilot before going to combat with fourth-generation fighters. This is not the case anymore with fifth-generation fighters.
