Great warships

Strelets didn't feel very angry that the Orientals had come up with a Su-27 that could be beaten flat. After all, when the Orientals left them alone and did it themselves, they went after them. What was the result? The attitude of the Orientals is very firm: Let’s make it ourselves! If you cooperate, we will continue to purchase engines from you. If you do not cooperate, we will not even purchase engines!

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Sukhoi Design Bureau had no choice but to compromise in the end, and just copy it. Although no patent fees were paid, they still continued to purchase the engine, and they could continue to make money.

There was no mention of complete surveying and mapping imitations at the beginning, let alone now. This project was originally a collaboration between the two parties.

The aerodynamic shape was the result of their joint research and development. At that time, everyone took what they needed. As the designer of the T-50 fighter, Strelerz did not care whether Oriental's model infringed upon the infringement, but the technology displayed inside.

They are currently developing the T-50 fighter jet, which also uses this aerodynamic layout. However, they cannot open the belly bomb bay because this will face the disadvantage of central stress. When a fighter aircraft performs high-G maneuvers, that part is the most vulnerable and may break from the center.

What did the Orientals do to avoid such problems?

"They have never thought about how to solve it. They just want to use such a design to deceive people."

"That's right, if they sign the order, they will know that this pit will be impossible to get through in the future research and development stage!"

"They have no ability to solve this problem at all. They have never developed a brand-new fighter jet! Only we can do this kind of project!"

Strelertz didn't take the previous words to heart, but when he heard the last words, he was tempted.

This is a $150 billion project! It would be great if this project could fall on our side! We can completely use this funds to build the T-50!

The only problem is the attitude of the big boss. I will report to the big boss now. If the big boss agrees, then I will go to the big dog to sell it. Even if they have signed the contract, I still have to get the business. come over!

Thinking of this, Strelerz's heart suddenly became hot. He hit the holy place and shouted: "Bonov, Bonov, let's go back to Moscow!"

The test pilot named Bonov was still reading the newspaper leisurely. Hearing Strelerz's words, he stood up immediately: "Okay, let's leave now, but are you sure?"

"Yes, sure."

"Boss, what should we do?" Others were anxious.

"You guys go back with me and prepare the materials."

With a bang, a large group of people came out of the office and walked to the airport in the distance, where an old Yak 40 was waiting for them.

Bonov, the chief test pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, boarded the passenger plane and walked to the front cabin to drive. The back was quickly filled with people, and there were even seats for people. They sat in the middle corridor, just like taking a bus. , driven by Bonov, the Yak-40 swayed into the sky and headed towards Moscow.

The Sukhoi Design Bureau is in Moscow, but the flight test institute is in a small city in the south, and the aircraft factories are distributed in different parts of the country. Sometimes he needs to go to various units of the Air Force for research. In order to save time, he always Went by plane.

The Sukhoi Design Bureau has never built a passenger aircraft, so they took the Yak 40 passenger plane. This passenger plane has been abandoned for more than years and is still flying. Moreover, not only Strelets, but also others People also want to fly on this plane, which is often full. It was originally designed to carry thirty people, but often forty or fifty people sit on it.

If something happens to this plane, the essence of the Sukhoi Design Bureau will be lost. However, Lao Maozi does not seem to take this matter seriously and continues to fly in and out on this plane.

This time, as usual, there was a large group of people on the plane. The big guys continued to talk about the shamelessness of the Orientals on the plane. They talked like this all the way. After getting off the plane, Strelerz immediately took the car to meet the big guys. .

"Aren't we jointly developing this aircraft with Asan?" The boss cleared his mind and asked him.

"Yes, we are developing this aircraft with Asan, but Asan has too many demands, especially they insist on a two-seater version, and we have no such plan yet, so they have been in arrears for a long time. R&D funding.”

When Simonov came to power, he did not want to cooperate with Asan, as this would prevent him from competing with the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Later, he won the T-50 competition and received approval from his superiors, so he began to cooperate with Asan. Then Simonov He retired and was replaced by Strelertz. In the process of getting along with Asan, Strelertz adopted the coldest attitude.

Asan's engineer is here? Okay, let’s go on a trip, have some fun, and have a look in the factory. Days pass by. Ah San’s engineers haven’t come into contact with any secrets. The investment has exceeded one billion. Ah San finally quit. Let’s spend money. After spending so much money, you can’t get any technology in the end?

The two-seater version is of course also a reason, but it is definitely not the most important reason. Ah San invested a huge amount of money and didn’t touch anything. Damn it if he was satisfied. The contradictions became bigger and bigger. In the end, Ah San decided not to continue to produce the car. Money.

However, it is not easy to say the reason. Strelerz attributed the reason to the contradiction of the two-seater.

The boss nodded: "So, if we cooperate with them, can we comply with the customer's requirements?"

"Customers don't ask for a two-seater. Asan used our Su 30MKI and was satisfied with the two-seater, so he continued to ask for a two-seater. Big business owners don't have this preference. They have There are both single-seat and double-seat fighter planes." Strelerz said: "The fighter jets they are interested in from the East are also single-seaters. Moreover, they have also promised a research and development cost of billion U.S. dollars. If If we get this money, it will be enough to complete all the test flights, and we will have a fourth-generation heavy fighter!"

The boss thought for a while: "You can give it a try. If you don't ask for so much R&D funding, it's okay even if you can only get two to three billion."

Gou Dahu is a traditional Western customer, and later he had a fierce fight with the East. Although Da Mao also went to the defense exhibition, he hardly got any orders for weapons and equipment. He just went to join in the fun. If he can open up the market this time, It's also a good opportunity.

As for leaks? The Su-27 series of fighter jets have long been sold all over the world. Although they hope that the new fighter jets can be kept secret, now, without money, the fighter jets cannot be developed.

Even if they deceive a big player and get two to three billion US dollars in R&D funding, it will be enough for them.

Strelets was excited: "Okay, then I'll go there right away!"

That night, Strelets set off with his team to the land of the big dog family, but only after arriving did he realize that the person in charge was not there!

Where did you go?

The other party didn't say, but you can guess, he must have gone to the East!

East, north.

"What you are seeing now is the production line of the J-15, which is currently the most advanced fighter-bomber in our country. It is more advanced than the F-S you have on hand, and the price is half the price." Lin Xia said with a Customers visit the production line.

After once rejecting the production of simple Su-27SK imitations, the Northern Research Institute came up with its own J- series. However, this single-seat fighter was not the most popular, and two-seat fighters soon appeared in China. The demand for bombers, so they worked non-stop to produce two-seat fighter-bombers. After that, the single-seat J- was discontinued. The navy and air force ordered J-s. This kind of fighter can fight in the air and bomb. With the addition of an additional radar officer, the J- is more flexible on the battlefield. When needed, the J- can even act as a small airborne early warning aircraft, leading a group of J- and J- fighters to attack opponents in groups.

However, the Northern Research Institute also knows that these aircraft will definitely become outdated in the future. They need more advanced aircraft. When the world's military aircraft enters the era of stealth aircraft, they must also have corresponding products. Otherwise, they will be eliminated and eliminated. abandon.

After several efforts, they failed to get recognition from the domestic military. Fortunately, they went out to participate in the defense exhibition and gained something. The big dog and a group of younger brothers were willing to purchase this kind of fighter. Now, Salman and his people came Visiting is naturally the most important thing in the north. Other designers and others were behind, pushing Lin Xia out and taking a group of people to visit. Lin Xia talked freely and moved with calmness and confidence.

Big dog companies also have heavy-duty aircraft. When the Parthian country purchased the Tomcat, they purchased F-15s. At that time, they purchased F-15Cs. A total of 75 aircraft were purchased, which was exactly the same as the Tomcat fighter jets of the Parthian country opposite. Corresponding to the quantity, this type of fighter is a single-seat fighter. Later, after entering the 156s, big players purchased 15 FS from the United States. The price of these aircraft was very high. On average, one aircraft exceeded million, and only big players were willing to do so. Spend money on this kind of plane.

However, due to the large number of domestic fighter jets and the lack of confidence in the United States, these fighter jets have hardly flown.

Now, big business owners are very surprised to see the same type of aircraft on the Dongfang production line.

"You also have a two-seat fighter-bomber. If I had known about it earlier, I would have purchased it from you!"

"It's not too late now." Lin Xia said with a smile.

Salman shook his head: "No, it can't be done now. We already have a serious shortage of pilots in the country. None of the existing fighters can fly here. If we want to purchase one, it must be a stealth aircraft. However, this aircraft does look beautiful."

The Su-27 series aircraft all look very beautiful.

"This kind of aircraft is very similar to Da Mao's Su-30." An officer traveling with him said.

"Yes, the appearance looks very similar. After all, Da Mao's Su-30 is improved from the Su-27 two-seat trainer Su-27UB, and our J- is also improved from the two-seat trainer of our J- However, this is only similar in appearance. The interior is completely different. The interior of our aircraft is equipped with our electronic equipment. It can use all the weapons and ammunition, fire control computers and flight control computers we have in China. It’s also very powerful.”

After saying that, Lin Xia glanced at everyone again: "If anyone is interested, you can later experience the power of this aircraft on our factory-tested fighter aircraft. Of course, if you don't want to fly into the sky, you can do it now. You can sit inside and experience it.”

Flying into the sky requires physical fitness, but sitting on it and experiencing it statically does not. So, soon, a group of people with white cloths on their heads appeared in front of a fighter plane waiting for a factory test flight.

Salman sat in first.

In terms of modernization, the cockpit of the J-16 is not as good as the cockpit of the Mingzhou Group’s fourth-generation aircraft. Although it is also a glass cockpit, several monitors are separated, and there are also some buttons and switches. However, the J-16 It is very tall, and the position of this rear cabin is higher. Once you sit in it, you will have a unique experience.

"Yes, yes, this aircraft feels more powerful than the F-15!"

The back seat of the F-15S is not that high.

After the visit and experience were completed, everyone went to the conference room to listen to the introduction of the brand new FC-31 fighter jet. Although it was introduced at the defense exhibition, those were the most common ones, and the content introduced now is confidential.

"Our aircraft was designed six years ago. At that time, we were developing a stealth aircraft and planned to take a different path." Lin Xia showed everyone the slides, starting from the initial appearance. , the appearance changes to the present. It is not easy to take the plane step by step.

"Because this project has half of your investment, all our research and development results can be disclosed to you." Lin Xia continued: "We will not only set up a research and development factory in your country, but also, during the development stage, your company will Engineers from other parties can participate and develop together.”

This is just a small idea. What level can designers from big companies achieve? Participating together is just to give them a sense of accomplishment and a unique experience. Moreover, with so many R&D departments, they will not be involved in the core R&D.

"Really? That's great!" Salman nodded: "If you feel that the funds are insufficient, then we can continue to invest more. After all, this is our own fighter plane!"

Lin Xia was secretly happy. Sure enough, Mr. Qin's idea was so good that he was so moved that he wanted to increase the budget again!

"Now, let's introduce the subsystem in detail. In the nose, we will install an active phased array radar. This radar has an antenna diameter of one meter and can accommodate 2680 T/R components. It is a fully The world's strongest level, against targets the size of third-generation fighter jets, the search distance will reach more than kilometers."

The airframe is made by the North, and the other parts are entirely from supporting units. These supporting units are still very powerful.

The search fighter has three hundred kilometers. Isn't this the same as the early warning aircraft? Everyone was shocked.

However, what is even more shocking is yet to come.

"The radome on our nose is very long. It not only has a frontal radar array, but also two radar arrays on the side. Each array has 580 T/R components and can search up to kilometers away. external goals."

There is also a radar on the side!

Ordinary fighter planes only have radar on the front. Before phased array radar, all radar antennas needed to be rotated so that they could search a cone-shaped airspace ahead. With phased array radar, it became electronic scanning. Theory You can search the front hemisphere, but it is actually the airspace about 120 degrees in front.

Now, the radar on this fighter plane has been modified. In addition to the front, there are also radars on both sides!

Although the number of T/R components is not enough, the search distance of this array has been reduced to one hundred kilometers, but this is enough to defy the sky, which means that this fighter can see targets on both sides!

"We know that stealth aircraft generally do not use their own airborne radar, and their main way of fighting is to rely on the early warning aircraft at the rear. However, we must also consider that in a tragic war, all early warning aircraft may be destroyed. Destroy it. At this time, our fighter plane can serve as an early warning aircraft, and at the same time, it can also obtain sufficient air situation observation capabilities in peacetime."

If a stealth aircraft wants to conceal itself, it cannot emit electromagnetic waves. The famous F117 does not even have a radar. Now this aircraft does exactly the opposite.

This is also inspired by the project I collaborated with Lao Maozi.

Lao Maozi's electronic technology is underdeveloped, so he has to consider the situation of fighting alone. Therefore, in addition to planning an airborne radar on the nose of the aircraft, Lao Maozi also plans to install a pair of hexagonal radars on the movable leading edge flaps. For radar, the antenna does not need to be too long, just half a meter long and 0.3 meters wide. Integrating hundreds of radar components can greatly broaden the radar's field of view and gain a better ability to observe the surroundings.

Since the advent of airborne radar, it is located on the nose of the aircraft. Lao Maozi can be regarded as innovative. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is very troublesome to place radar components in different places, because in order for radar waves to radiate, there must be It is better to place the special radome directly in the front and then on both sides, so that the observation field of view is larger, not only in the front hemisphere, but also on both sides.

Sure enough, the big dog owners were shocked.

Dongfang is really powerful, the fighter planes it invented have so many new things!

"Okay, let's introduce later that in addition to using a larger diffraction head-up display, our cockpit will also use a helmet-mounted display system to achieve the goal of seeing through the cockpit through optical probes distributed on the fuselage. In other words, Pilots will have clairvoyant eyes.”

Some technologies are from the J-150, but the supporting units have been developed and matured and can be transplanted. This fighter must be made more sophisticated. Otherwise, how can we convince the other party that the US$ billion in R&D funds is worth it?

Sure enough, countless people once again lamented that they can actually see through the cockpit. Even if they are taking the driver's license test, students hope to be able to see through the car and see those marking lines, let alone a live pilot!
