Lasers would have interesting requirements and lead to a variety of new tactics. Since lasers hit instantaneously, and their accuracy increases over the course of firing the beam, all those missile envelopes and conservation of velocity and altitude in Air Combat Manoeuvres becomes irrelevant. Also, lasers would always overwhelm any amount of armoring aircraft would try to mount.


The result would be a ground-skimming subsonic aircraft, sheathed in brilliant reflective paint, manoeuvring around depressions and smoke screens to pop out, shoot from above, then duck undercover to avoid return fire. The laser generator would be run by an alterna,tor powered by the main jet turbines. The laser beam can be shot through the transparent nose with great accuracy, or through ports on the back and belly of the craft with lower accuracy and effectiveness. Aircraft would manoeuvre to position themselves in the blind shot behind the engine. Missiles are either launched in waves or at angles that they cannot be shot down from by defensive laser fire.


High altitude craft would be entirely eliminated if laser defences become effective. Instead, cheap observation drones would be sent up to try and spot enemy ground-skimmers before they are shot down.


Supersonic jet fighters would be useless, since they wouldn't be able to outrun lasers, anti-aircraft defences or missiles. Instead, they'd concentrate on laser defences shooting down incoming projectiles and manoeuvrability.


The optimal fighter would end up becoming some sort of hybrid-electric Harrier Jump Jet, with reflective paint and laser domes on the front, back and belly.


레이저가 도입되면 비행기들이 가지는 주요한 이점이 사라져서 지상 체계들하고 중량싸움에 들어가는데 비행기는 특성상 장갑을 두껍게 바를 수 없으니 저고도 반사도료 칠한 저속 저공기체들이 주류를 이룰 것이라고 하네
