On the morning of July 30th, it was a moment for the Chinese people. In the army's 90th anniversary parade, the Chinese people once again saw the J-30 echelon, J -16 echelon.

One of the most dazzling is the “Sky Veyron," the F-20, which is since its debut in Zhuhai after the show! Stealth fake radar, ultra-low maneuver, it can destroy the enemy between the shadowless, is our high hopes for the country's razor. During the parade, the J -20 fighter cockpit exposure for the first time in the picture, we can see not only the first valiant and heroic in bearing pilots, also saw 20 fighter cockpit. In the blue sky and white clouds, the J-20 glass cockpit exudes colored light, of course, the five colored glass also contains a lot of cutting-edge technology.
At present, the development of the five generation of aircraft on the earth, only the United States, Russia and China, the five generation of important fighters, just need to be "invisible", that is how to deceive the "radar" tracking, the whole fighter plane needs 360 degrees to absorb or digest radar waves without dead ends, so the material of the fighter is very important, but the whole machine is the most special, and the material that needs to be conquered should be the cockpit glass. As a close window of the pilot, it is more demanding than other parts of the fighter. Not only have transparency, but also to prevent bird impact, but also able to block ultraviolet light, and has a high level of quasi high temperature and insulation effect, of course, the most important thing is to stealth. Thanks to China's strong industrial manufacturing strength and rich in tungsten, rare earth and other strategic resources, in recent years, rapid progress in materials and technology, self-completion of most of the J-20 manufacturing materials will go with the flow.
How to make the five-generation fighter cockpit glass? The main materials used in the United States are two kinds of resin material, together with metal oxide film. The first is acrylic transparent material, which has good optical properties, but the optical performance is not good impact. The second is polycarbonate, which is hard but not wearable. The United States combines two materials to make a sandwich glass, acrylic glass inside and outside two layers, polycarbonate as the intermediate layer, and finally in the plexiglass seat canopy surface, a film of indium tin oxide (ITO) film is used to cut off harmful electrons, ultraviolet and far infrared rays.
In addition, the Russian T50 cockpit glass is made of multilayer composite polyurethane acrylate, which serves as the base for the hatch cover, in addition, T-50 uses plasma chemical deposition to fabricate polymer hatch panels, and metal (AU) films are deposited by plasma magnetron sputtering, the film is resistant to high temperatures but not wearable. Russia has also made a new approach. It combines inorganic glass with polyurethane to greatly improve the wear resistance and reduce the cost.
