Dominate South Asia

The production line is British. No matter whether it is backward or not, the management level is first-class. Muhammad's smile keeps blooming. Aircraft engines are a big problem! Only by solving this problem can the aviation industry have a stable foundation!

Why do American fighters have conventional layouts and don't use duck-type layouts? It is because of the abnormal aviation industry of Americans. The engine is very advanced and has a large thrust-to-weight ratio. The F22 engine has a thrust-to-weight ratio of ten and can cruise at supersonic speeds! In contrast, the only Russian engine that can compare with it at the same time has a thrust-to-weight ratio of less than eight.

The modification of the Spey engine has great potential. When TF41 is finalized, it can further tap its potential on this basis. In history, the British have further improvement plans.

At the same time, when TF41 is stable, the next project can be started to imitate the engine on the F-16 fighter!

Muhammad has long had long-term plans for air force construction.

Deng Gong was deeply impressed by the visit to Xifei, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force who accompanied him also had a lot of feelings. Because the Air Force wanted to use a bomber with a parallel double-seat layout, the JH-7 project was eventually abandoned. Without the investment of the Air Force, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation still insisted on their own project. This perseverance is admirable.

After the visit, after the discussion in the conference room, the group planned to leave. Chen Yiqian, who was hesitant to speak, finally mustered up the courage. It was not easy for the Chairman to come here once, and he could not hold back his thoughts any longer!

"Report to the Chairman, we at Xi'an Aircraft Corporation have another project and want to report to the Chairman." Chen Yiqian said.

There are still projects? Now Xi'an Aircraft Corporation, even the JH-7 project. All rely entirely on the meager funds of the Navy. If it were not for overseas funds, the project would have stagnated long ago. Can they have new projects?

"Chief Engineer Chen, the Chairman is busy with all kinds of things. Your new project should be reported to the Third Ministry of Machine Building first." The Minister of the Third Ministry of Machine Building said.

"It's okay, you can talk." Deng Gong said.

"We developed the JH-7 project, which is a fighter-bomber, mainly to meet the needs of our military equipment. However, last time we went to Pakistan for inspection, we saw the world's first-class fighters. Our project is still in the development stage, and various indicators have fallen behind. Therefore, we have a bolder idea to reverse map the Tomcat fighter. On the basis of the Tomcat fighter, develop a powerful fighter-bomber!" Chen Yijian said.

The variable swept wing technology of the Tomcat fighter gives it excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance. It also has excellent ultra-low-altitude maneuverability. In addition to being used for long-range rapid interception and close-range combat, an excellent fuselage is also needed by fighter-bombers.

If Xifei can fully map this fighter and develop a corresponding bombing model, the performance will definitely exceed more than 70 times that of the JH!

Muhammad was shocked. Isn't this the upgrade of the Tomcat fighter to the F-14D Super Tomcat project? In addition to air combat. It has a strong ground attack capability. The bombing of the Indian nuclear reactor relies on the ability of this heavy fighter.

The F-15 fighter of the US Air Force is also the same. The modified F-15E has the same air combat capability as the F-15D, and also has the ability to drop various ground attack weapons.

At this time, almost all the fighters of the Republic were derived from Soviet fighters. Whether it is the J-7, J-8, or Q-6, there is a strong shadow of the MiG fighter.

The JH-7 of later generations was successfully finalized. After being equipped with the troops, it was considered a truly independently designed fighter. This is already the biggest progress.

If there were no other factors, then Xifei would continue to unswervingly design their first independent product, the JH-7. However, after seeing the powerful performance of the Tomcat fighter, Chen Yiqian could no longer remain calm. He knew that if a fighter-bomber was developed based on the Tomcat fighter, it would be such a powerful fighter!

"How is this possible? With such a weak foundation, how can Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation copy such a powerful fighter? If Shenyang Aircraft Corporation does not have a new J-8 modification project, it can be handed over to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation." The Minister of the Third Machine Department said.

"Our Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation is not bad! As long as the country agrees to our project, I can issue a military order!" Chen Yijian also has self-esteem when talking about the weakness of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation in front of Pakistani friends.

"We will consider this matter later. Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation can rely on the existing conditions, introduce foreign capital, and successfully localize the Spey engine. This is already a big progress." Deng Gong said: "As long as Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation does this, step by step, it will definitely be able to do a good job in our J-7 project."

Chen Yijian's eyes dimmed. It seems that this bold plan may not be realized.

Everyone walked out. Before leaving, Muhammad shook Chen Yiqian's hand and said, "We are very interested in the project you proposed. Maybe we can cooperate in the future. I hope you can complete the TF41 project as soon as possible. In this way, you can export engines through this project and raise funds on your own to do what you want."

Hamad's words shocked Chen Yijian's heart and regained his confidence. Yes, the most important thing for XAC now is this engine project! As long as the engine is finalized, it can be exported to a country in the Middle East in exchange for a large amount of foreign exchange. With the funds, XAC no longer needs to constantly beg for funding from superiors, and can completely raise its own funds for development!

The country's system has begun to reform. It is no longer a planned economy. Even various aircraft manufacturers are looking for new projects of their own to continuously develop and strengthen themselves. Many have begun to move into automobiles and home appliances.

As long as you have funds, you will have confidence!

After flying from the west, Hamad was also shocked. These national defense science and technology workers have been working silently for the strength of the country. They are the most respectable people! He saw Pakistani scientific and technical personnel working seriously inside. Once the development of this engine is completed, they will become Pakistan's important technical personnel. Eventually, this engine will also be mass-produced in Pakistan. This was the original agreement. .

Taking a special plane from Xi'an, the team rushed to Chengdu again.

The land of Bashu is surrounded by mountains. During the most severe period of the Anti-Japanese War, large areas of the country were lost. Only Sichuan was still firmly in the hands of the Chinese because the terrain here was too steep and the surrounding mountains would make Any attacking force collapses.

After the founding of New China, this place also became a strategic reserve base. Automobile manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing have all established bases here.

The Chengdu Aircraft Company is located here. It was the merger of the 611 Research Institute and the 132 Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. Now it is a key domestic aircraft company.

Several variants of the J-7 all emerged from here. Shen Fei has a more important task, which is to develop and improve the J-8.

When the special plane landed on Chengfei's runway, the main personnel, including Tu Kida, were already on the runway to greet it. By this time, it was already afternoon.

In the morning, the chairman visited XAC. They had been notified in advance. Now, the chairman and his Pakistani friends came to visit Chengdu Aircraft Corporation of China again. Tuqida knew that it must be the suggestion of President Muhammad Hamad, because Chengdu Aircraft has Mr. Hamad. The project that the German President cares most about.

In Chengfei's large conference room, both parties sat down. When Hamad's eyes fell on an airplane model in the middle of the conference table, Deputy Director Song Wencong skillfully took away the model and covered it with another one. Children's tablecloth.

Of course, all this cannot be hidden from Hamad's eyes. The air intake in the belly and the delta wing. Isn't this the J-10 fighter of later generations?

Tu Jida coughed and said: "Welcome all leaders to inspect. We at Chengdu Aircraft are mainly responsible for the improvement of the J-7 project. Now, we want to change the aerodynamic layout of the J-7 to greatly improve the maneuverability of this fighter. improve."

"Mr. Tu, let's talk about our radar." Hamad said: "We are not interested in the J-7."

Mhammad always spoke so directly. Turkeda said: "As for radar, I think it's better to ask Engineer Bai to introduce it."

At this time, Bai Xue, wearing a military uniform, stood up, saluted everyone, and then opened the slide projector.

"After we obtained the complete AWG-9 radar and APG-66 radar from Pakistan, we immediately conducted reverse mapping. Now, we have conquered the side-lobe elimination technology of the flat-plate slot radar, as well as the various circuit modules and principles. These two Each radar has its own advantages. Due to the large antenna size of the AWG-9 radar, the detection range is longer, while the APG-66 radar appears farther back, so the signal The signal processing capability is relatively strong. Now, we are designing our own radar based on the continuous reverse mapping of these two radars. This is a pulse Doppler radar using a flat-panel slot antenna, which has complete air-to-air capabilities and The ground-facing capability can detect signals in complex ground echoes, and it will also have a synthetic aperture mode. We plan to build a prototype in the near future," Bai Xue said.

Domestic imitation methods are first-rate. In later generations, the radar used by the J-10 was copied after studying the F-16's APG-66 radar for three years. Now, Bai Xue has issued a military order. To develop it within two years, she did not start imitating it immediately, but first understood the technology inside the radar.

Compared with the last time she was in Pakistan, Bai Xue's face was a little pale and her eyes were still red. It seemed that she had been working day and night since she came back.

Only when there is pressure will there be motivation. (To be continued ~^~)
