Abstract :This paper focuses on the design parameters and features of jet engines used in 5th generation fighter aircraft. 5th generation aircraft engines are designed to meet requirements such as low radar visibility, high maneuverability, and fuel efficiency. The paper examines how key design parameters like thrust-to-weight ratio, thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, and multi-mission capabilities are prioritized and optimized in this generation. Additionally, comparisons with prior generation aircraft engines are made, analyzing how new technologies bring forth unique advantages in this generation. Special attention is given to the effectiveness of afterburner systems, design innovations enabling low radar visibility, and how engine integration contributes to enhanced aerodynamic performance. The study evaluates how 5th generation engines achieve greater fuel efficiency while simultaneously offering higher speed, maneuverability, and reduced detectability compared to previous generations. This work aims to explain the innovative parameters that are prominent in the design of 5th generation aircraft engines and their critical role in achieving air superiority.
