Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After the meeting, Mr. Jiang left, Mr. Nie and others also left, but Zhou Yang was left behind!

That night, a grand celebration banquet was held inside the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory.

After all, the first flight was successful and was highly praised by the ace pilot of the Air Force. For Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, this is definitely something to be happy about.

More importantly, Mr. Jiang's last words boosted the morale of all employees and cadres in the factory!

As a military industrial unit, the biggest success is that the designed weapons and equipment are approved by the superiors, and then mass-produced and installed in the troops.

This is not only a huge honor, but also a huge interest of the unit as well as life and death.

They have been studying the J-10 fighter for [-] years, and now they finally have the opportunity to mass-produce it. Can you not be happy, can you not be excited?

Therefore, at the celebration banquet that night, Director Zou personally awarded certificates and bonuses to the meritorious staff and cadres.

What Zhou Yang didn't expect was that Director Zou actually rated him a first-class merit and gave him a bonus of 200 yuan.

After the celebration banquet, Zhou Yang, the deputy chief designer, quickly took up his post, and then devoted himself to intense work.

However, he is not busy with the research and design of new fighters, but continues to conduct various tests and modifications on the J-[-] Kai!

What was completed before was just the first flight, and there is still a long period of time to go from the first flight to the real deployment of troops.

Fortunately, with Jiang Lao's support, these steps were much easier.

But in order to make the fighter more perfect and more effective, Zhou Yang, Gu Zhenhua and others need to continue to conduct high-intensity tests on the improved J-[-].

In addition, because the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory needs to submit technical disclosure and results review to the Aviation Committee, the Air Force will also be invited to inspect the aircraft.

After all, these fighters are all for the Air Force, and the commissioning and delivery of any fighter requires the advice of the Air Force.

But now the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory has only one J-001 Kai No. [-], so it cannot meet the demand at all.

Under Zhou Yang's strong request, the aircraft factory assembled two more J-[-] fighters according to the latest design requirements.

While waiting for the new aircraft to be assembled, Zhou Yang, Gu Zhenhua and others also exchanged ideas on the design of the new fighter jet.

Originally, Zhou Yang planned to build the J-[-] fighter jet, and the reason was simple, he was familiar with this fighter jet.

If you really want to do it, it is not a brand-new design at all, it is just an imitation, and the design is not difficult.

Zhou Yang believes that with the assistance of Gu Zhenhua and others, the blueprint can be produced in at most half a year.

But after some analysis, Zhou Yang found that his idea was not very good.

The main reason is that the J-[-] cannot be produced at the current domestic technical level. In addition to the engine and avionics system that cannot meet the requirements, the aircraft's fly-by-wire system is also not good, and there are also huge problems in materials.

别看贼鹰的F-14、F-15、F-16、F-18以及毛熊联盟的S15、S27以及我们的歼10都是三代战机，但是三代战机之间也是有着极大地差距的。

This is like the division of realms in fantasy novels. There are masters who are beginners and masters who are great. The difference in strength between the two may be double or triple.

There is no doubt that our J-10 has a latecomer advantage and is definitely the best of all three generations of fighters.

With the current scientific and technological strength we have mastered, it is not difficult but completely impossible to perfectly reproduce the J-10 fighter jet.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang thought of two plans, one is to develop the Nordic Gripen fighter jet, and the other is to first develop a reduced configuration J-[-].

The Gripen fighter belongs to a light aircraft. The prototype is the third-generation aircraft, and the improved version is the fourth-generation aircraft. It has a small body, but its combat effectiveness is good.

Combining domestic scientific and technological strength, it is very likely that this small fighter will be developed.

As for the reduced version of the J-[-], it has to sacrifice a lot of functions. Although it can be regarded as a third-generation aircraft, its combat effectiveness is not a bit worse.

But when Zhou Yang was considering which plan to adopt, he discovered a more serious problem.

This problem does not stem from technological strength or technical reserves, but from people.

Through communicating with Gu Zhenhua and others, Zhou Yang discovered that their understanding of the third-generation fighter was completely wrong.

In the eyes of Gu Zhenhua and others, the third-generation fighter is a completely strange thing.

They think that the difference between the second-generation aircraft and the third-generation aircraft lies in the engine, fly-by-wire system, and static instability, but this is obviously wrong.

According to their understanding, what can be produced can only be a second-generation enhanced version like the J-[-] Kai, not a real third-generation aircraft.

At this time, Zhou Yang finally understood that the inability to manufacture a real third-generation mobile phone in China was not just due to lack of technological strength, but also a deviation in the design concepts of most designers.

It is really a long way to go to create a real third-generation machine.

The second-generation aircraft is high-altitude and high-speed, while the third-generation aircraft emphasizes high maneuverability. This is the difference between the two.

Let’s compare our J-15 with the Su-15 of the Maoxiong Alliance. It seems that the J-15 is similar to the Su-[-], but the design idea is completely different. The Su-[-] is much faster than the J-[-], but its maneuverability is worse. a lot of.

However, the overall layout of the J-[-] Kai is too old, resulting in the advantage of a large push ratio being limited by the old layout, which is not fully reflected in the maneuverability.

So in terms of combat effectiveness, if our J-15 Kai really meets the Su-[-], it will still be worse.

Therefore, in Zhou Yang's view, the most urgent task is not to adopt that plan at all, but to let all designers, including Gu Zhenhua, understand what the real third-generation machine is.

After all, the ideas are all wrong, and the products researched must not meet the standards!

Because of this, Zhou Yang did not directly discuss the design plan with Gu Zhenhua and others in the following time, but discussed with them what is the third-generation machine and what is the standard of the third-generation machine.

In fact, countries around the world have reached a consensus on the standards of the third-generation aircraft decades later. Although the standards were revised in 05, this does not affect the basic judgment of the third-generation aircraft.

When Zhou Yang listed the standards of the three generations of machines one by one, Gu Zhenhua and the others were stunned.

Originally, the characteristics of the third-generation aircraft they thought were completely irrelevant to the standards proposed by Zhou Yang, but through Zhou Yang's explosive modification of the J-[-], they directly created a quasi-third-generation aircraft. The big guys have long been convinced by Zhou Yang's strength .

Although I feel shocked, I still choose to believe in Zhou Yang!

After a week of communication, all of them had great changes in their thinking, and everyone finally converged on the design concept of the third-generation machine.

However, in view of the fact that the focus of everyone's current work is still on the J-[-] Kai, Zhou Yang and Gu Zhenhua discussed it. For the time being, don't directly invest in the research and design of the third-generation aircraft, and first realize the mass production of the J-[-] Kai, and then concentrate their efforts Engage in a third-generation machine.

Of course, this is of course because of concentrating on big things, and on the other hand, it is also to buy some time for Zhou Yang himself.

After all, Zhou Yang is still working on the research and development of the radar system of the early warning aircraft. In order to ignore this and lose the other, he also needs some time as a buffer.

Soon the two sides reached a consensus on this matter!

On March 3, the two fighters No. 1 and No. 002 of the J-003 Kai were successfully assembled. In the next two days, everyone conducted limit tests on the two fighters.

After comparison, it was found that the performance of the two newly assembled fighters was better than that of the No. 001 fighter.

After confirming that there is no problem, Gu Zhenhua and Zhou Yang unanimously decided that they can proceed to the technical disclosure and results inspection to the Aviation Commission.

Since the next matter was mainly related to other departments of the aircraft factory, and it had been a while since Zhou Yang came out this time, he bid farewell to the airport.

Director Zou, Gu Zhenhua and the others knew that Zhou Yang was a busy man, and they really couldn't stay in their factory for a long time, so after holding a grand farewell ceremony for him, they sent a plane to send him back to the capital.

In this way, after Zhou Yang stayed in Liaoshen Aircraft Factory for 13 days, he finally returned to the capital on the Lantern Festival!
