Supercruiser

Japanese: supercruiser
Supercruiser

…Various types of vertical take-off and landing aircraft have been researched vigorously, and some results are emerging, but only the British Harrier and the Soviet Yakovlev YaK36MP are in practical use, and it is expected that other types will take a long time to be put into practical use. Important technical themes expected to be applied to next-generation fighter aircraft, etc., and particularly noteworthy are the ideas of CCV, stealth aircraft, and supercruiser. Stealth is an idea to reduce the risk of detection and capture by the enemy by reducing the amount of reflected radar waves and infrared radiation, and making the emitted radio waves difficult to intercept, through improvements in aircraft materials, aircraft shape, electronic equipment, etc., while supercruiser is an idea to quickly pass through dangerous areas where the enemy has set up anti-aircraft fire nets at a speed faster than the speed of sound, thereby avoiding damage, and the next-generation aircraft will be the embodiment of these ideas. …

Japanese:

…垂直離着陸機については種々の形態のものの研究が熱心に続けられ,成果も挙がりつつあるが,実用となっているのはイギリスのハリアー型とソ連のヤコブレフYaK36MPのみで,その他の型は実用になるとしても今後かなりの時間が必要と見られている。 次世代の戦闘機等に適用が期待されている技術上の重要テーマで,特に注目されるのは,CCV,ステルス(隠密飛行機,stealth aircraft)およびスーパークルーザー(超音速侵航機,supercruiser)の思想であろう。ステルスは機体材料,機体形状,電子装備等の改善により,レーダー波の反射や赤外線放出の量を少なくしたり,放出する電波を傍受されにくくしたりして,相手に探知・捕捉される危険を減らそうとする考えであり,スーパークルーザーは相手側が対空火網を張りめぐらした危険地帯を音速以上の高速をもって速やかに通過し,その被害を避けようとする考えで,次世代の機体は,これらの思想を具体化したものとなろう。…
