DARPA has developed a small laser cannon, just likeStar Wars to use as a weapon in a fighter plane for air to air combat, destroying enemy missiles or perhaps using a combination later on of Argon or CO2 (depending on altitude) for close air support. Recently it was announced that they would put this new airborne laser system onto fighter jets.
The system, which will go onto a fighter jet would be called the; “HELLADS” or High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, it is being tested now. It would be a system based on Israel’s THEL system, which is a mobile “Tactical High Energy Laser.”
I propose we have a set of tiny mirrors in front the leading edges of the wings of the aircraft redirecting the high-energy laser beam to areas above the wings and perhaps also onto other airfoils such as stabilizers and canards. This would blast the air and/or create vortex’s, which would enhance lift which would allow for mini-tornado sucking of air over the wing in critical high angle of attack situations.
