Of course, 1.6 kilowatts isn’t enough power to keep a massive aircraft flying, but the experiment was an important proof of concept. Army Research Field in Blossom Point, Maryland.

Naval Research Laboratory’s Safe and COntinuous Power bEaming – Microwave (SCOPE-M) program successfully transmitted 1.6 kilowatts of electrical power over a kilometer at the U.S. In April of 2022, a team of researchers from the U.S. This concept, commonly known as “power beaming,” isn’t science fiction-it’s science fact. The massive Arsenal Bird doesn’t need to be refueled by tankers to stay airborne thanks to a direct beam of microwave energy transmitted to the aircraft’s rectifying antennae (an antenna used to convert electromagnetic energy into DC current). Here are some of the systems we can see in use by the Arsenal Bird in-game, alongside the very real Defense Department programs aiming to field similar capabilities: Transmitting power to aircraft via microwave beams from the ground A power-beaming system developed by PowerLight Technologies conveyed hundreds of watts of power during a 2019 demonstration at the Port of Seattle. From its propulsion systems to its recoverable drones, platforms like the Arsenal Bird may eventually replace highly agile intercept fighters sent to engage with encroaching enemy aircraft. While the size of Ace Combat 7’s Arsenal Bird may not be very realistic with today’s technology, some of the other seemingly far-reaching tech on display in the game may not be as far off as you might think.

SIMPLEPLANES JET HOW TO
Among the most important is the pressing question of how to deny the enemy access to your airspace. So, while playing Ace Combat may not teach you much about the jets you’re flying, the munitions they leverage, or the complexity of fighter operations… it may still serve as a very effective thought exercise into the challenges pilots may find themselves facing if mankind makes a return to globe-spanning conflicts in the 21st century. But if you can look past the exaggerated elements, Ace Combat offers a creative look at what some real technology may one day be able to. As one glaring example, the F-35C isn’t likely to fly into combat with 50 or more air-to-air missiles stacked in its weapons bays any time soon. To be clear to those who haven’t played the game, it isn’t very realistic. Mastering the flight controls of the A-10 in DCS (like my good friend Mason) might make you well-versed in the real complexities of operating a combat aircraft, but Ace Combat‘s analytical value is harder to divine.
