Red Soviet Union

?In the past, Andre strongly opposed the canard. However, at that time, Andre was not completely opposed to the canard layout. What Andre opposed was to install canards on the Su-27 and turn it into a three-plane aircraft , It seems majestic, but in fact it does more harm than good.

As for the plane that was originally a canard layout, although Andre did not express his approval, he did not express extreme dislike at the same time. After all, except for the United States, almost all other new fighters in later generations have a canard layout, which shows that this kind of aircraft also has advantages, especially in terms of instantaneous circling performance. of.

Andre just resented that the Mikoyan Design Bureau did not take stealth seriously, and put all the blocks on the plasma stealth technology.

And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is obviously holding back. Under my own suggestion, Sukhoi's fastest forming plan is of course stealth based on the Su-27, similar to the T-50 plan. At the same time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also chose a duck layout plan !

Andre is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to understand everything. Andre's advantage lies in these prophets from later generations. In terms of specific academics, it is definitely not as good as these old scholars.

Moreover, Andre in his previous life, as a test pilot, has always been with Shen Fei, and has not been exposed to too many stealth designs. As for the J-31 that Shen Fei created, hehehe...

So, in fact, in Andre's heart, he does not completely reject the duck layout. But now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also wants to do both at the same time. It can be seen that the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not very assured of its own plan, and at the same time, it is determined to win!

With these two giants competing with each other, choose from the best, this is the most suitable way!

I'm just a pilot, not an expert. I respect your choice. Andre said: However, if you develop these two aircrafts at the same time, will it involve energy?

You know, the Mikoyan Design Bureau in history only studied one MiG 1.44, and it took a lot of energy and time. In the end, the Soviet Union disintegrated, but it didn't work out.

But now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has developed two types at the same time! In this case, will not be lack of energy?

Of course not. Our two aircraft actually have a lot in common. Simonov said: At the same time, our new canard layout fighter has a higher foothold. When designing, we are more Most of it is considered as a newer generation of fighters, for example, we plan to equip the weapons of this aircraft with electromagnetic guns.

Railgun! With the continued development of the Soviet Union's economy, there are sufficient funds to support the research and development of various black technologies. Orbital laser weapons are one type, and electromagnetic guns can also be regarded as another type. This fighter jet matches the one in history.

No matter what the future generations are, at least for now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is really fighting. After all, in the project of the third-generation aircraft, the Su-27 stabilized the MiG-29, and in the project of the fourth-generation aircraft, Sukhoi designed The bureau still needs to accumulate a lot of accumulation and continue to struggle.

As for what will develop in the future, even Andre is looking forward to it, but now, for such a big guy, Andre is undeniable. After all, if the technology is too advanced, the risk of research and development is also very high of. As for who will win the new generation of fighter jets, this is a decisive step forward for the Soviet aviation industry!

After visiting the Sukhoi Design Bureau for half a day, Andrei and his party came to Zhukovsky's Gromov Test Flight Academy in the second half of the day.

Last year, the Moscow Air Show was held here, which attracted many tourists to watch, and opened the windows of Moscow to the people of the world, letting them know what this country, which has been portrayed as a scourge in the Western media, is like. Facts speak louder than words, and the Soviet Union's advanced technological level, strong cultural atmosphere, good living environment and salary level have made the West realize that this country is full of vitality.

And when the air show passed, the tranquility was restored here again, and as an important aviation research base of the Soviet Union, the level of secrecy here was quite high.

After going through several gates and finally entering the flight test academy, Andre was shocked again.

Originally, Andre came here mainly to see the test flight of the new aircraft of Sukhoi Design Bureau. However, this plane was not seen, but was stunned by a plane on the runway that was preparing for a test flight.

Viewed from the rear of the fuselage, it looks exactly like a MiG-25, with a huge rectangular air intake, twin engines and double vertical tails. However, the wingspan seems to have become larger. The Ge-25 is different. It can be seen that the fuselage is obviously elongated and widened at the same time. There are portholes on the side. That's fine.

That, seems to be the MiG-25 version of the supersonic airliner, right?

The MiG-25 once supported the sky of the Soviet Union. Under Andrei's operation, the MiG-25 is like a giant dragon flying in the air, suppressing the western world out of breath.

But now, although the MiG-25 is not declassified like later generations, the MiG-25 is still outdated. It only relies on high altitude and high speed to win living space. When the opponent's air defense is upgraded, there will be problems. Now, Western In the arsenal, several are optimized specifically for the MiG-25.

Therefore, the MiG-25 is gradually withdrawing from active service, and the upgraded MiG-31 is also impossible to fight in close combat. It is just an ultra-long-range interceptor. 29 or Su-27 engaged.

It was also under such circumstances that Andre proposed the idea of ​​transforming the MiG-25 into a supersonic commercial airliner. This was originally a plan of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but now, it happens to be used to fool those in the Middle East. Big dog.

Even under the circumstances of being deceived and threatened, countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain have all placed orders. This kind of supersonic commercial airliner is still on paper. After that, Andre has not paid attention to it. Now, it just so happens Seeing the test flight of this supersonic commercial airliner, how can we not be excited!

Go down and have a look at this airliner first. Andrei said to Ustinov beside him: This is a good thing! (To be continued.)
