Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 577

“Our domestic modifications are all aimed at making the combat capability higher and increasing the ability to carry weapons. How can it be changed to focus on machine gun combat?” Huo Haiyuan was dumbfounded, “I don’t know who made such a wonderful request. It’s just such an improvement.”

“Uncle Zheng, do you know about this?” Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng on the side.

Zheng Yucheng nodded, “It was the customer’s request. Later, didn’t Lao Wang communicate with that side? They asked for this to support ground operations.”

Xie Kai immediately understood.

This should not be Kabila’s request, but Liao Dong’s request.

These modified fighters were sent to the station in Africa, not only to train the pilots selected by Kabila, but also to provide air fire support for his ground armored units.

“Strong Five Modifications, it is indeed necessary to go in a more advanced direction, improve bomb carrying capacity, flight speed, etc…” Xie Kai said to Rongfei’s people.

As for the J-6, he is really not interested in taking a second look.

Except for places in Africa where many countries don’t even have an air force, this type of fighter jets in other places are completely targets under more and more advanced fighters.

“These people are all supporting the Super Seven project. Now, the Super Seven project has just started, and the production line has not been fully constructed. The final output is uncertain.”

“Then you still get a production line?” Xie Kai asked. “You are not using our project to prepare for Project Ten?”

Huo Haiyuan just smiled and didn’t say anything.

The previous cooperation agreement reached by the two parties is like this. The 132 factory and the personnel provided by the 611 helped the J-9 team from 404 to get the Super Seven Project, and then the Super Seven Project was used as some technical verification of the No. 10 Project.

Since Super Seven is some technical verification of the No. 10 project, the production line will have a great degree of similarity. When the No. 10 project is launched, the production line can be remodeled or upgraded and expanded, and the J-10 can be produced.

“This is our Super Seven?” When Xie Kai was taken to a separate workshop at the end of the workshop, the whole person was incredible.

“Yes, super seven model machine.” Huo Haiyuan nodded and said. “This is a super seven with a single hair style. It has not yet been determined whether a prototype will be produced for the double hair style. The data of the model wind tunnel test has not yet been obtained.”

The original Super Seven project, the FC-1 Fierce Dragon fighter jointly developed with Pakistan, used the traditional mid-aspect ratio side-strip wing conventional layout, single vertical tail, differential horizontal tail, double ventral fins, and full wingspan. Leading edge flaps and trailing edge flaps.

The intake duct is the air intake method on both sides and so on.

Xie Kai proposed this at the beginning, but the prototype in front of me, which was quietly parked in the workshop for static pressure test, couldn’t find any shape of this kind of pneumatic layout at all!

“A prototype of Project Ten?” Xie Kai asked.

“Super seven single shots.” Huo Haiyuan said simply.

Xie Kai was immediately angry, “I said at the beginning that it is required to adopt the traditional side strip and wing layout to ensure reliability and reduce costs…”

“But you also said that this project should be integrated with the J-9 project.” Huo Haiyuan said, “This project is dominated by the J-9 team under the horse. And the J-9 has already entered the stage of prototype trial production… …”

Xie Kai was speechless.

The Super Seven Project in front of him has no similarities with the appearance of the Xiaolong in his memory, especially the passage of the belly air inlet, how it looks like the J-10, and the nose is slightly downward bending……

The entire aircraft adopts a canard layout, with the wing body fused, and behind it is a large delta wing.

Isn’t this J-10 or what?

But the problem is that the Super Seven project uses the MiG-29 engine purchased from the Soviet Union. The thrust is inherently insufficient. How can it be used to make the aerodynamic layout of the J-10?

“Light fighter, designed like this, can it work?” Xie Kai asked.

“The specific situation needs to be determined after the test flight.” Huo Haiyuan said, “In fact, if this aircraft is not used for combat, the performance should be very good, at least better than the performance of our domestic fighter jets.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What about the combat capability?” Xie Kai asked, “The light fighter has a short range, and the number of weapons it carries is limited, so it has no combat effectiveness at all…”

Having said this, Xie Kai’s mind flashed.

He forgot a very important thing.

If it is sold as a fighter jet, there is not much market for this gadget. After all, the performance is insufficient, the range is short, and the bomb load is small.

What if it is an advanced trainer?

So far in the Republic, the training aircraft have been improved from the J-7 and J-8.

The Hongdu Aircraft Factory’s K8 has not been activated yet, and the advanced trainers needed by Egypt and other countries have not yet found a seller.

Thinking of this, Xie Kai’s face suddenly overflowed with a smile. As for robbing Hongdu’s projects or something, there is no way, 200 old Maozi engines can’t be smashed in your hands, right?

“Your kid was still upset at first, so why are you laughing now? Isn’t it a problem?” Xie Kai’s sudden smile made Zheng Yucheng nervous.

The prototype in front of him made him feel a little weird.

“It’s okay, Lao Zheng, if nothing happens, our two hundred engines are probably not enough.” The more Xie Kai thinks about it, the more possible it becomes.

Zheng Yucheng is even more worried that Xie Kai will have mental problems due to too much pressure.

“Two hundred engines, even if there are no customers now, when the prototype is produced and some airshows are made, some potential buyers can be found. If it doesn’t work, you can sell it to those regular customers in Africa, even if the price is lower. There is no problem. We can still afford this loss.”

Zheng Yucheng is really afraid of something wrong with Xie Kai.

Where does he know what Xie Kai thinks?

The laboratory next to the static pressure test workshop has a small area, only more than 100 square meters. There are many airplane models in the entire laboratory.

“Which model is the super seven-double hair?” Xie Kai asked Huo Haiyuan.

There is no one in this laboratory.

There is not even a sound.

Many of the models in the aerodynamic layout are weird.

“Many of the models in this are the previous J-9 models, and some models are used to test the wing selection and are used for wind tunnel tests.” Huo Haiyuan introduced the situation to Xie Kai.

In the entire room, at least fifty or sixty airplane models were placed.

He finally found a model in these models that was exactly the same as the prototype of the external static pressure test. In the entire laboratory, several fighter models used belly air intake.

The only difference is the airplane’s wing, which has a different aerodynamic layout.

All models of belly air intake are placed on a long table. At a glance, the characteristics are very obvious, and it is easy to see the comparison of various aerodynamic layouts.

“The stuff in it has obtained a lot of experimental data for us. It also consumes a lot of funds…” Xiong Hongyuan saw Xie Kai watching the situation of each model next to him, and introduced, “Without your funding, it would be difficult for us to obtain So much experimental data.”

“As long as you can get a plane.” Zheng Yucheng couldn’t see anything.

For fighter jets, his only idea is to have a strong combat capability.

He didn’t know how to make the fighting power strong, after all, he was a layman. Just like an airplane like Yunshi, he hopes to make Yunshi as big as the Il-76 that Xie Kai acquired, or even bigger than the Il-76.

“Is this a model of the prototype outside?” Xie Kai pointed to a row of models of abdominal air intake, and finally asked the one in the middle.

“Yes, this is a prototype model that has been modified after being used for wind tests, and has also been subjected to wind motions, and has undergone a radar cross-section test.”

The single-engine Super Seven is similar in appearance to the J-10 made at the back of the 132 factory.

Even, similar to the J-10 model, only some details may be different.

“This is a super seven twin-engine model. Up to now, the wind tunnel test has not been completed.” Seeing Xie Kai looking at an airplane model on another row of tables in a daze, Huo Haiyuan introduced.

It also has a canard wing layout, which uses a large delta wing with wing-body fusion, which is very different from the single-shot Super Seven.

The air intake method was changed to two sides air intake, and the rear was changed to double vertical tails. The same wing structure gave people a feeling of a very large gap.

“An improved version of the J-9VI-II program?” Xie Kai asked.

“You know?” Huo Haiyuan was a little unbelievable.

The J-9 has been constantly revising the design requirements from the initial project to the dismantling, and finally revising the design plan according to the technical requirements until the final dismantling.

“We took over the J-9 team, don’t you understand?” Xie Kai rolled his eyes and said, “Can’t this be improved?”

In the previous development process of the J-9, more than 500 models, test pieces and test equipment were manufactured, 12,000 high and low speed wind tunnel tests and 258 tests on structure, strength, system, and special materials were carried out; Computers are widely used in the development of the machine, 154 calculation programs have been compiled, and more than 15,000 hours of calculation and analysis have been carried out. All of these are valued by Xie Kai.

Lowering the technical indicators and changing the positioning of the J-9 aircraft, this project is actually very good.

“This is indeed from the J-9 project. The main wing is still a 60-degree delta wing, with a wing area of ​​50 square meters, a canard with a 55-degree delta wing, a fixed installation angle of 3 degrees, and a canard area of ​​2.58 square meters. Side intake, the intake port is a dual-adjustable multi-wave system hybrid compression type……” Huo Haiyuan introduced.

“This is a high-altitude and high-speed structural design. It should have a great impact on the integrated combat aircraft we need?” Xie Kai carefully looked at the model that was not much different from the final plan of the J-9, frowning. Asked.

For their potential users, the J-9 is a high-altitude high-speed air superiority fighter mainly used for air combat, and it is not appropriate.
