Dragoon fighter

A forward-swept wing fighter with five vertex corners showing a diamond pentagon began to take shape bit by bit on the big computer screen.

"Is this a fighter jet you built yourself?"

Captain Jiang, who was accompanying Lin Mo, had a look of disbelief on his face, forward swept wings? !

His eyes almost popped out of his head.

As a senior pilot, Captain Jiang naturally understood what type of fighter jet he witnessed.

I originally thought it was a fighter similar to the "Stick (the nickname of the J-10)", at most similar to the F-22. We had to consider whether it could be built, but I never expected that it would have such a peculiar shape. What kind of technology is needed?

The Russians once worked on the Su-47 "Golden Eagle", but only two prototypes were produced and they were only used for show.

The Germans did it, ju287, but it was later captured by the Soviet army and never heard of again.

The Americans have built the X-29A, and Grumman only used it as an experimental aircraft for technical demonstration. It can achieve excellent roll maneuverability without any additional airfoil and thrust vector technology. However, as Lockheed rose and vanished.

There is also a little-known sfwf-16, which was eventually eliminated because the material could not solve the problem of structural divergence. Otherwise, today's third-generation main fighter F-16 "Fighting Falcon" in the United States would all have a forward sweep angle of negative 25 degrees. Wing external features.

China also has forward-swept wing experimental aircraft. The XP-1 "Research and Development Type 1" fighter jet before liberation was discontinued due to a test flight crash in 1945. After liberation, it continued to develop the "Dark Sword" single-engine drone. It was originally designed with forward swept wings, but later it was finalized with swept wings. However, the research and development of forward-swept wings in various countries has not stopped. China has restarted the development of experimental manned forward-swept wing fighters, such as the Defense Star's X-1, as a fourth-generation fighter design. There are other unnamed models still in secret development.

If the technology matures, the Defense Star is likely to compete with fighter jets such as the J-14, J-18, J-20 and J-31 for orders from China's next or next two generations of main fighter jets.

The outstanding performance of forward-swept wings is well known, but until now no country has really dared to take the risk of applying forward-swept wing technology to its main fighter jets.

The United States, which has a technological advantage, cannot afford to gamble, Russia, a big and powerful country, has no confidence, and China's technology and materials are not mature enough. The UK can only use it to build drones, and France and other countries can only use it to look at it. They don't even have the technical accumulation to build experimental aircraft.

Rather than saying that technology is an obstacle to forward-swept wings, it is better to say that materials and structures are the real obstacles to forward-swept wing technology. Structural divergence and stealth issues have plagued the development of forward-swept wings.

But for Lin Mo, who owns a metal dragon, all the problems caused by materials and structures no longer exist. Even the national defense and aerospace departments rely on Lin Mo's alloy formula library. Solve many technical problems caused by materials. Many special technologies are actually the product of compromises due to substandard materials. If the materials are qualified, then there is no need to painstakingly study the technology. If you can reduce it by ten, the cost will be reduced a lot.

Seeing Captain Jiang's increasingly suspicious expression. Lin Mo shrugged and nodded: "That's right, this is the fighter jet I designed and assembled myself. Experts from many domestic aviation design institutes have joined forces to provide a finished product with technology sharing. Since multiple companies have joined forces, this fighter jet The drawings are publicly shared. Therefore, Chen Haiqing’s national defense star has an experimental prototype, and other domestic factories also have similar experimental machines.”

"Don't lie to me. Your engine data is wrong. Is there such a powerful engine in China? And this fire control system and radar system. When will domestic manufacturers have the technology to produce these equipment? Americans are no more than that."

The experienced Captain Jiang looked at the data reported by Lin Mo to the computer experts. He was very familiar with various fighter jets in the world and even knew every parameter. He noticed something abnormal on the spot. The engine parameters alone are inferior to even the domestic ws-15x. When did the China Gas Turbine Research Institute have such good technology? It's really confusing.

The statistics of this fighter jet are so amazing. Even the J-20 is far behind. Lin Mo actually said that he built it himself. Then aren't the domestic design institutes just eating for nothing? The country has invested so much in vain. Have R\u0026D funds gone in? !"Really, more real than real gold. Your suspicion is very reasonable. Some equipment is indeed not produced domestically. Well, some are sponsored by Americans."

Lin Mo chuckled. He was not as honest as the domestic aerospace design institute. In order to get these accessories, he used all kinds of tricks to cheat and steal. Only the old American and the crying Locke Only Sid Martin Company understood Lin Mo's methods.

Most of the parameters reported by Lin Mo are real data verified in practice, and also include experimental data from the "Dark Night" Computer Center and large domestic wind tunnels (most wind tunnel experiments only require models, not entities).

Subject to the limitations of actual equipment and technical level in reality, although the "monster" built by Lin Mo with the technology and equipment of China, Russia and the United States has amazing performance, it is much different from the theoretical design value on the original drawing. For example, the original design It is worth 5 times the speed of sound. With the F119-PW-100 vector propulsion engine stolen from the United States, it is simply an impossible task. Maybe we can get the fa-xx engine, but now even Boeing I don’t even know where my fa-xx is.

Therefore, the "Monster" still has a lot of room for technological improvement in terms of engine, radar and endurance capabilities. Even so, Lin Mo's "Monster" fighter has directly entered the ranks of the top international fighters.

"Sponsored by Americans? They are crazy. Try it first before you tell!"

Captain Jiang was still dubious. Without seeing the real thing, it was not easy to convince the colonel in such a short period of time.

Although the Americans are not crazy, they are not far behind.

Lin Mo did not truthfully tell Captain Jiang that the engine parameters were actually the F119-PW-100 vector propulsion engine parameters of the F-22 Raptor, one of the current main fighter jets in the United States.

otherwise

Bullying a messy Captain Jiang is not a hero.

"It will take another two hours to complete all the modeling. According to your requirements, we will also conduct mathematical model calculations in terms of aerodynamic force and defense power. After two hours, you can call the model on the simulator. Please Define model name."

A computer expert who had completed the parameter settings told Lin Mo that although the data looked very real, he, like Captain Jiang, had a dubious attitude, and it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. "The model is to be x-8, and the name is 'Monster'!"

On the 8th, the "Monster" should be regarded as the eighth aircraft in the hangar of the air crew, but it was never completed.

Of course the clay model does not count.

In fact, the current appearance of the "monster" has slightly changed from the original design after Lin Mo asked the golden dragon to secretly intercept many fighter jet designs.

With the computing resources of a large server, Lin Mo and Captain Jiang had a taste of the "Monster" simulated fighter jet as scheduled two hours later.

It's the same aircraft, but the two people have different tastes.

The moment the J-20's landing gear leaves the ground means the battle has begun.

Captain Jiang chose the J-20 to compete with Lin Mo's "Monster". Apparently Captain Jiang regarded the "Monster" as a model with similar combat effectiveness to the F-22 "Raptor".

As a pilot who represented Chengdu Aircraft Company in the "Abyss Nirvana", he was naturally more familiar with Chengdu Aircraft's design style (from the beginning, from the J-5 to the J-8, almost all were models developed and produced by Shenyang Aircraft Company. Since the J-10, (Chengfei has just begun to share the world with Shenfei). Although he has no experience in flying the J-20 in the past, with his rich flight experience and simulated combat in the past few days, he has become very skilled in controlling this new model that has not yet been commissioned. Jet stealth fighter.

Although he has never fought against a forward-swept wing fighter like the Su-47 "Golden Eagle", Captain Jiang is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of forward-swept wing aircraft, so he is not careless at all.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Through the simulator confrontation in the past few days, Captain Jiang knew that if he kept hiding it, he would probably lose very ugly. He has put Lin Mo to the same level as himself.

"Beep, beep!"

The radar seemed to have malfunctioned, sending out intermittent signals weakly.

This is already the result of Captain Jiang turning on the radar power to the maximum, but the signal fed back is very weak.

Domestic active phased array radar is still slightly weak.

I don't know how Lin Mo solved the "Monster's" stealth technical problem, which means that this forward-swept wing fighter is even more terrifying.

If I hadn't followed Lin Mo in the design and modeling process and knew all the parameters of this aircraft, I might have suffered a sap in this battle.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded that threatened the warning system. Captain Jiang was startled, and two light spots appeared on the radar screen.

It was a missile, but he saw three contrails in the distance approaching him at an alarmingly high speed, and the sound hadn't even arrived yet.

If there were clouds nearby, then I might not even know how I survived.

What is strange is that there are three contrails, two are missiles and the other is

No, no, absolutely not. Although he was robbed of the opportunity, Captain Jiang was not discouraged in the slightest. The canard layout gave the J-20 an extremely excellent aerodynamic layout, which was very suitable for supersonic air combat. The J-20 body was very flexible and flexible. Following his operations, he quickly adjusted the attack envelope.

The weapons bay opens.
