Chapter 422 Cobra Maneuver

Share designs! The Americans are very interested in this kind of aircraft of their own! Hills felt happy in his heart, and immediately said: "These technological achievements of ours are all developed by ourselves. If we share them with you, I hope you can provide certain compensation."

White wolf with empty gloves! Hamad asked them to set up a booth here. The only purpose was to try to make another fortune to supplement the urgently needed funds for the Pakistani aviation industry. Now, since the Americans are in need, they must not take it for nothing. They need to give some compensation. That's fine. Three to five million US dollars is not too little for Pakistan.

"No problem at all." Fred said, "We want to get all your research information."

"Well, you can come to Pakistan to discuss the specific transaction with us in detail after the air show," Hills said.

After seeing off this group of people, not long after, another group of people arrived.

Hills was familiar with this group of people, including John, the head of Grumman in Pakistan.

Seeing these people coming, Hills greeted them friendly.

"I heard that you also have an improved Tomcat solution?" John went straight to the point.

The Tomcat is a masterpiece of Grumman. Grumman has always spared no effort in improving the Tomcat. Now, unexpectedly, Pakistan, the country that uses the Tomcat fighter jet, has actually launched a plan to improve the Tomcat. Grumman was naturally very interested.

By installing new avionics and using engines with greater thrust, Grumman has made quite thorough improvements to its Tomcat fighter jets. However, they still have not touched upon a new area, which is stealth performance. .

Now. The U.S. fourth-generation advanced fighter aircraft, YF-22 and YF-23, are beginning the bidding process. Grumman, as one of the competitors, has also started bidding. However, the specific design has not yet been launched.

The current stealth performance only started with bombers. How can high-mobility fighters maintain air combat capabilities while being stealthy? It's a big problem.

"Yes, we had an original design ourselves," Hills said.

Compared with the flying wing model of the bomber, this fighter is just a design drawing, which is more primitive. However, the diamond-shaped nose, the rectangular air intake, and the inclined vertical tail at the tail make it a stealth fighter. model.

"It is impossible to achieve complete stealth for a fighter plane. However, we can greatly reduce the reflective radar area of ​​the fighter plane by adopting a carefully designed aerodynamic layout." Hills said: "Our aerodynamic layout. It can reduce the radar area by 90%. In other words, our fighters could be detected at a distance of 100 kilometers before, but now they can only be detected at a distance of 10 kilometers. Our stealth The performance has been greatly improved. As for the bombs, we set up grooves on the abdomen to mount most of them in a semi-buried way to further reduce the anti-radar area. As for the sacrificed performance, we can change the swept wings. And use a high-thrust engine to achieve it. If we can get an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10, then our fighter will be able to cruise at supersonic speeds exceeding Mach 1.5 with bombs attached. "

Every word Hills said touched John's heart. This is exactly Grumman's plan, the fourth-generation carrier-based aircraft program NATF developed for the U.S. Navy, codenamed Silent Cat!

Now, Grumman is hoping to get support from the Navy, which has yet to take a position. But there is another country on the other side of the ocean. They actually started simultaneous development, and it was very similar to our own development plan!

If Grumman does not get the support of the US Navy, then if this plan is brought to Pakistan, it will definitely succeed! At least it won't be like the F-20 developed by Northrop, which spent a lot of effort, but ended up not having any orders, and all the company's development funds were wasted.

Or, now that Pakistan is so rich, it seems like a good idea to join forces with Pakistan for joint development. Yes, this matter must be reported to the president of the company immediately. Anyway, the current president of Pakistan is also the son-in-law of the president, and the relationship between the two parties is very close. .

At Pakistan's booth, no one was interested, but there was an endless stream of people who came. They were all experts who really knew the industry. With a small model, Pakistan fooled many people.

What are the benefits? By selling this model and this idea, Pakistan can make a lot of money. Moreover, if it is developed together with the United States, Pakistan will benefit even more.

In the indoor booth, people were still watching, but outside, attracting even more attention, the flight show began!

A very important event in the air show is the flight display!

Two bi-wing propeller planes taxied from the runway and then took off. This is already the age of jets. This kind of bi-wing propeller plane was something that only existed during the First World War.

However, the enthusiasm of the audience did not weaken because the plane was lagging behind. When the two planes took off, a beautiful woman with an attractive figure climbed out from the cabin at the back.

They followed the ladder and climbed onto the wing above!

They are a special group of dancers, and their stage is right in the center of that small wing! Under the impact of airflow and the shaking of flight, this kind of flight performance is even more thrilling and exciting.

The audience held telescopes and couldn't help but cheer when watching their performance.

Wing show, this is a special show, originated in World War I, a plane broke down, the fighter plane was in flight, the pilot had to climb out to repair, then gradually evolved into a show, the two beautiful girls, won countless applause, kicked off the air show.

Then, all kinds of planes began to perform gradually, even American passenger planes took off a circle to show their presence.

When those fighters made dazzling combat moves, they won applause, and the whole air show gradually reached a climax in the flight show.

However, no one knew that the real climax was from the Red Empire, the Su-27 fighter!

Victor Pugachev stood quietly beside his fighter plane, the tarpaulin on the cockpit cover had been removed, all the red signs had been removed, and there was 5% fuel in the plane, enough for the flight show of this air show.

He is a famous pilot in the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Pugachev was the one who tested the T-10 fighter from the beginning. Up to now, Pugachev has flown this fighter for more than a thousand hours. He knows the aircraft as well as his own body.

Now, Pugachev is going to fly this fighter and perform a flight show to show the Soviet Union's proudest fighter to the world and tell the world that the best fighter is still the Soviet fighter!

As for the defeat in the battle over Afghanistan, it was not caused by the performance defects of the fighter, but by the defects of the missile!

"It's our turn." The designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau said to Pugachev, "Pugachev, good luck."

"Okay." Pugachev turned around, climbed up the ladder and entered the cockpit. Behind him, a ground crew helped him check the canopy and then moved the ladder away.

The engines on both sides ignited in turn. Pugachev looked at the gestures of the ground crew. The engines and various control surfaces were normal. Pugachev released the brakes and slid slowly out of the apron.

"Farnborough, the red Su-27 requested to take off." Pugachev said on the radio. Another reason why he could come here for a flight show was that he knew English and could communicate with the tower here.

"You can take off." The tower's order came from the headset.

Pugachev turned on the afterburner, and the Su-27 slid quickly on the runway in the hot flames at the tail.

"Is that plane going to catch fire? Why is there black smoke coming out of the tail?" A spectator asked.

After the Su-27 turned on the afterburner, black smoke continued to come out from the back.

"That's taking off with afterburner." A military fan said.

"Turn on afterburner? Why don't other planes emit black smoke?"

"Actually, they all emit black smoke, but other planes emit less, and this plane emits more. This is a Soviet plane. Although it emits black smoke, it is durable." This military fan obviously knows a lot. He saw it up close when it was displayed on the ground.

The Su-27 took off from the runway. The huge thrust brought by the twin engines made the fighter accelerate quickly. After gaining enough speed, it began to turn and re-entered the audience's sight.

Tremble! Audience! Pugachev was excited. What he was about to perform would definitely shock the audience!

Everyone looked up and saw what was special about this fighter from the Red Empire.

Pugachev unlocked the flight restrictions and quickly pulled the stick back in level flight.

In the audience's sight, the nose of the plane was seen rising rapidly, thirty degrees, forty degrees...ninety degrees! When the fuselage of the fighter plane exceeded 90 degrees, the scene was calm. No one had ever seen a fighter plane turn vertical in level flight, and it did not rise vertically, but continued to fly forward!

It was not over yet. After 90 degrees, the nose of the plane continued to tilt back until the nose tilted up to 120 degrees. Now, it was in a level flight state with the tail in front and the nose in the back! From the outside, it looked like a proud cobra with its head tilted up.

"Cobra! Cobra!" A spectator at the scene shouted loudly. He actually said this flying action, which is called the cobra maneuver!

Pugachev laughed in his heart. After a short flight of two or three seconds, he pushed the stick forward to press the nose of the plane, and the fighter plane quickly returned to its original horizontal state. The cobra's head went down.

This performance shocked the audience. (To be continued ~^~)
