Dragoon fighter

After the organizer of the Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition delivered an opening speech and announced the full exhibition schedule, twelve "Rafale" fighter jets of the French Dassault Aircraft Company maintained three diamond-shaped review formations, in a triangular shape. The attack array whizzed past the podium at a slow speed, announcing the official opening of the aerospace exhibition with a deafening sound of thunder.

In 1984, the five groups of Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain reached an agreement and proposed the "European Fighter" plan (efa). France withdrew from the process and started to replace its own "Mirage" fighter behind closed doors. At the end of 1985, the "Rafale" was born. Fighter prototypes have always used names instead of models, such as Phantom, Ensign and other names. In the official models, there are Air Force type (type C), two-seat tactical fighter (belonging to the Air Force, type B), and naval type (type B). m type) navy two-seater (n type).

As the organizer, it has an innate publicity advantage. After the official opening of the publicity, it was the "French Patrol" aerobatic team that drove the "Rafale" fighter jets to announce its existence in the sky.

The "French Patrol" aerobatic team is the world's most famous and one of the oldest aerobatic groups in the world. Their flights adhere to the inherent elegance of French culture and are cleverly choreographed. Their flight performances do not care whether they are thunderous or not. The momentum is overwhelming, but the focus is on ballet-like grace and the agility and flexibility of French fencing.

The twelve "Rafales" were divided into two groups, raising colorful tail smoke in the sky. After passing by the rostrum, they quickly launched the Immelmann maneuver simultaneously, piercing the blue sky at an angle of attack of 90 degrees, reaching an altitude of two thousand meters. , spread out, and two delicate seven-color flowers immediately appeared in the sky.

The double queues rise vertically simultaneously and perform a perfect umbrella-shaped dispersion maneuver. Although it does not have much tactical value, it gives the audience on the ground a pleasing aesthetic feeling.

The "French Patrol" has become an indispensable guard of honor for France's major occasions. It is used in the skies above Paris on July 14th every year on Bastille Day, the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, the French Open and the Formula One circuit. I can see them.

Like China's Bayi Aerobatic Team, pilots engaged in team aerobatic demonstrations have always been good at formation stunts and subtle operations. Their tactical abilities may not be as good as those of combat pilots, but their fighter control skills are as good as any ace.

The biennial Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition officially kicked off amidst the roar of fighter jets. The opening ceremony not only attracted political and military dignitaries from all over the world, it was not just the aerospace power of various countries. A public collision was the tipping point for global air equipment competition and profits.

At the same time, tourists and aerospace enthusiasts from all over the world will bring real income to the organizers, not only tickets, but also advertising revenue. The advertising fees spent by aerospace manufacturers in various countries are compared to those of sports The advertising and sponsorship fees spent by private commercial enterprises at the event are much greater.

Moreover, the huge venue with the entire airport as the main body means countless advertising spaces and profits. The cargo airport has suddenly turned into a cornucopia of valuable land. It is true that you can get money just by planting an advertising flag.

The "French Patrol" took advantage of its local advantages and took the lead in appearing on the stage. With its elegant aerobatic flight, it increased the effect and popularity of the exhibition. Even a layman watching the excitement can see that the French Dassault Company has prepared for its flagship model "Rafale". It is an invisible advertisement, and it is captured by countless cameras and cameras, which is very powerful and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Experts can observe the 60-degree sawtooth design introduced by the French company Dassault on the "Rafale" airframe, imitating the F-22 "Raptor" and F-35 "Lightning 2" that also use this special design angle of 60 degrees. It brings a certain invisible effect.

Following the ten-minute wonderful performance of "French Patrol", as the leader of Europe, the largest aerospace defense and aerospace company in Europe and the second largest aerospace and defense company in the world: the ef2000 "Typhoon" fighter jet of the European Aerospace Defense and Space Corporation. The air show formation takes place.

The ef2000 "Typhoon" fighter jet jointly developed by Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain has the "European fighter". It completed its test flight in 1994 and began to be delivered to the air forces of the four countries. It has already been seen that the fighter production technology accumulated by the United States, Russia and medium powers has been The family fortune is getting richer and richer. If it does not catch up, it is very likely that it will be eliminated from the international advanced fighter research and development team and become a fighter purchaser.

The four-party cooperation between Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain is not only to achieve technology sharing and resource sharing, but also to get a share of the international aerospace industry.

After all, arms have always been hugely profitable, not to mention that manufacturers with more advanced technology will not let go of the space and aerospace technology business.

Next, aerobatic demonstration teams from various countries performed one by one, not only to attract attention and entertain the public, but also to demonstrate their technical strength to important government customers who came to place orders.

There is a certain skill in the order of appearance, and those who appear first and last can leave a deep impression on the audience. Therefore, in addition to the French organizer's aerobatics team, which is uniquely positioned to seize the first appearance, the following The ranking has become a competitive target for exhibitors from various countries, and the order of appearance is determined by the amount of sponsorship fees.

If you want to save those two dollars, you can do it, but you won't have the chance to show up. Although the French are famous for being romantic, they also value money but not people.

"It's about to begin!"

Townsend Williams, the director of Lockheed Martin's participation in this exhibition, stood in the utility area behind the booth and sneered.

He looked towards the direction of the empty runway, where a fully equipped F-22 was sliding onto the runway and starting to sprint before taking off. The ailerons were flipping and debugging at low speed like a duel wielding a sharp blade. Samurai before warm up exercise.

Just yesterday morning, he instructed a pilot from Japan's "Blue Shockwave" aerobatic team to provoke Pany, a new exhibitor from China who participated in the Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition for the first time. The Chinese themselves That little company called Defense Star.

Lockheed has always been willing to crack down on these small manufacturers, especially the advanced fighter jets J-11 and J-14 displayed on site, which already have certain potential threats in the future and may grow into threats to Lockheed Martin. Defense Star Aerospace Corporation (nds).

Townsend Williams is very willing to do things to suppress newcomers. Any threatening opponent is best nipped in the cradle in advance, especially the newly revealed J-14, although it is unlikely to be exposed to the outside world. It was released, but Americans have clearly felt threatened.

The status of a major country still needs hegemony to maintain, and dignity and respect between countries have never been based on words.

The Japanese spent a huge price, even if they pinched their noses and admitted the Americans' rip-off, after they just got the modified version of the F-22 "Raptor", they couldn't wait to show it off.

For others, at best, it's just a silly boy who got a lollipop covered in shit.

For the Japanese themselves, it is another armed force that can dominate East Asia.

As the manufacturer of the F-22 Raptor, Lockheed Martin only needs a little hint, and the Japanese will fawn over it.

There is no other reason. They are staring fiercely at Lockheed Martin. The company occasionally misses a bone. In order to win the F-22 "Raptor", the Japanese have been taken advantage of, and the price paid is not small.

As expected, the small Chinese aerospace company was outraged and took up the challenge.

Townsend Williams formed an alliance of interests with Boeing's Robham Crete and other companies, secretly fueling the flames, allowing the organizer to join the final showdown between the Japanese F-22 and the Chinese J-14.

If this wasn't just an aerospace exhibition, I'm afraid both sides would have mounted live ammunition.

Townsend Williams has often used this kind of trick. Some small manufacturers somehow felt that they had fallen into the trap. They were suppressed and no longer had the shame to participate in an exhibition of this scale. Naturally, let alone being able to grab enough orders to sustain their business. The development of the exhibition, not to mention having one less opponent, is more conducive to sharing more of this unprecedentedly profitable pie. Some exhibitors who are in a competitive position have come to the side of Lockheed Martin.

As for defense stars and all, to hell with them.

Townsend Williams also once provoked people to provoke China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, but they never paid attention to such provocations after being fooled once or twice.

Unless sometimes they deliberately resort to tricks, such as the International Pilot Death Fight, which is a real holy land of war, a lost paradise where rich people compete for excitement, the shadows of those aerospace manufacturers will occasionally appear in it to obtain necessary technical information for themselves.

Yesterday afternoon, the French had implemented martial law and cleared out a large air show area at Le Bourget Airport. If something unexpected happened, they would not fall into the audience.

As soon as the F-22 "Raptor" came on stage, it immediately murdered countless digital storage spaces. The opening ceremony on the first day was open to the public, and ordinary people could also participate. After such an opportunity today, you can only wait for the fourth day. Get a glimpse of those aircraft.
