american mad man, everything russia has is a copy of american things, jeeze, so biased, just stop it, its really making me sick, seriously
anyways, i searched on google and i found no evidence that china and russia will co-operate to construct a carrrier, the only carrier plans for china right now, is to buy them from russia, so i'm not sure
as for the AJAX geting up in the sky, i'm not ure, but its not going to be the method used to launch a rocket, i think it will be the conventional method, the runway
oh and the AJAX was started in the Soviet era, so it will come out in a few years, not 10 or 20 years from now

isn't the aurora supposed to be shaped like a triangle?, 3 points?
Dima
except the AJAX will come out before 2020 and the B-3 will come out in 2037 if it ever does, thats kinda long time for them to go from B-2 to B-3, i thoughht they'd replace the B-2 in maybe 2020-2025

That looks an awful lot like some of the Aurora renderings I have seen. Obviously this has a lot to do with the restraints of aerodynamics at such speeds.

That being said, the US is already ahead in the Hypersonic race, having already hit Mach 10 with the Hyper X

and Russians hit their mach 15, big deal
more speed does not mean more advanced
MagnetoGasoDynamic generators anyone?

"The fifth picture he describes as: �This is the �Ayaks� aerospace vessel. It can fly both in the atmosphere and space. It uses the MGD-generator to produce energy, which will be enough to light a medium-sized city. Its maximum speed in the atmosphere is near to Mach 50. (yes, 50 sonic speeds, almost twice faster than it is required to go to space)�"

Links? You cant say all that with no links.
I know nothing of the MGD Generator, what is its combustion process, or is it some type of more exotic propulsion method?

Not to mention...
Dima, are Russia and China planning to build an aircraft carrier so they will have something to fly the carrier version from?
I mean, Russia has the Kuznetsov, but it has only deployed once, and that was in 1995. I'm not too sure how the Ajax will take to a ski-jump launch...China has a helo carrier, but nothing to launch a fixed wing AC.
Maybe they can build a great big VLS and launch it like a missile? Of course landing might be a little problematic...
