Domestic production Stealth proof experiment machine "Shinshin" the first flies by the end of fiscal year 2011.

"Shinshin" is a fighter of domestic production to which the name and the shape have been told since before. It has electric wave reflection characteristic RCS(Radar Cross Section) of the Stealth high movement shape, a special control method and the flight control of the engine are integrated, the technology of the high maneuvering flight control is established, and Stealth not reflected in radar according to shape etc. either is possessed. I hear that the advanced technology such as radar "Smart skin" arranged along the shape of the airframe also took it. Moreover, the engine uses the one of domestic production.

The size of the proof experiment machine is 14 meters in the total length and the width 9 meters. Plan for development to be going to be done in six years from the coming year, and to turn on budget of 15.7 billion yen a year in the coming year and 46.6 billion yen in total. It plans to manufacturing the proof machine in fiscal year 2010 with the first flight the completion by the end of the start and fiscal year 2011 finish by fiscal year 2009. make for trial purposes of the engine and the electronic equipment partAbout the airframe structure and Stealth, the model experiment has already been advanced, and the wind tunnel experiment is executed in France in 2005. It is said that a high performance was able to be confirmed.

There is a side like maintenance and the accumulation, etc. of an impossible aircraft development technology in a short time about the development of Shinshin. It has a side used (so to speak "Stalking-horse. ") as a material of the bargaining as showing and posture "Because it is possible to develop originally, a fighter efficient (Stealth) need not be purposely separately bought from another country" are both inside and outside like that aim develop on the other hand as a next-generation fighter jet of "It is serious" the Air Self-Defense Force.

There is a criticism "It is waste that uses the expense for the treatment though appropriating put to practical use is thin" on part, too. Even if it costs only its cost in every 100 billion yen, it can be said as the cheapness of it to maintain however and to accumulate the technology it is not possible to obtain no matter how money is piled up and being able to demonstrate the effect of the bluff enough consequentially.
