Consider the following aircraft:
- Rafael
- MiG-29
- Tejas MK-1 How many of the above are considered fifth generation fighter aircraft ?
A.Only one
C.All three
D.None
B.Only two
Correct Answer: Option D
Fifth-generation fighter aircraft are the most technologically advanced, designed to operate with digital programs and fly-by-wire systems.
Key features include sophisticated avionics, stealth technology, and super maneuverability, providing air superiority.
Stealth technology aims to minimize an aircraft's visibility to enemy radars, reducing the chance of detection.
- Rafael: Often classified as a 4+ or 4.5 generation fighter.
- MiG-29 (Fulcrum): A 4th-generation jet fighter designed in the Soviet Union for air superiority.
- Tejas Mark-1A: An indigenously designed 4+ generation fighter with over 65% indigenous components.
Therefore, none of the listed aircraft are considered fifth-generation fighters.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
