Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 578

The design concept of the J-9 is undoubtedly very leading in China in this era.

Leading means risk.

Europe and the United States and the Soviet Union have a rich foundation and experience, leading design can be turned into a real thing, the consumption of funds and the required technical foundation are not affordable by China now.

Therefore, even if the J-9 solves the long-standing aerodynamic layout problem, it is much better than the half-parent “J-8” in various performance indicators. In the end, it is because of the difficulty encountered in the entire project research process. , The progress was too slow. When the research team undertook the urgent design task of the J-7 major reform, it slowly shifted its focus, which eventually led to the discontinuation of the project.

Looking at the model in front of him, Xie Kai’s heart is really mixed.

“No, the shape and aerodynamic layout have also been improved. Now the flight speed and flying height have been reduced by some indicators. At the same time, we are working on improving the design so that this fighter has the ability to attack air and ground attack. Otherwise, you must It’s not easy to make it…” Huo Haiyuan paused, and then said, “After all, the previous J-9 was an all-weather high-altitude, high-speed, ground-to-ground air defense interceptor, based on the Soviet Tu-22 “Backfire” and the US B The -1B supersonic bomber is the main combat target.”

“If so, there will be no problem.” Xie Kai nodded and said.

Now the Air Force needs such fighters.

Since there is the ability to do it, even if it is more difficult, there is no problem at all.

The 404 funds are not used for these purposes?

“Or, let’s get Huo Haiyuan to our side? He was originally responsible for part of the J9 project. Now the project belongs to us. He belongs to the 611 Institute. It’s not too reassuring to work.” After coming out of the laboratory, the people in the 132 factory and the 611 institute had other jobs. Xiong Hongyuan first arranged Zheng Yucheng and Xie Kai to the guest house, and waited until tomorrow morning for the meeting.

Zheng Yucheng went to Xie Kai’s room, without politeness, and went straight to the subject with a worried look.

Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai about that single-shot project, and Xie Kai also said that that kind of plan is not very suitable.

It is easy to have problems.

It came out because of the engine thrust problem, the fighter’s range would not be too far, the combat radius was small, and the bomb load was also low, and it was not suitable for combat at all.

“We really have to get people into our system. It’s not a good thing now.” Xie Kai also nodded and said so, “Single-engine light fighters are made. We don’t sell them as fighters.”

Zheng Yucheng looked puzzled.

It was originally a fighter jet, what is it used for improperly?

“As a high-level trainer, changing to a dual-seat aircraft will not improve the aerodynamic layout much.” Xie Kai said with a smile, “Similarly, it can also be used for small-scale air combat and ground attack. No matter how bad it is, carry it. A one ton of ammunition, isn’t the problem too big?”

Zheng Yucheng’s eyes suddenly widened.

He had never thought of such a possibility.

Domestic trainers have always been remodeled from active fighters, and there is no design and development of dedicated advanced trainers. There is still a huge domestic demand for this thing, and even internationally, there is also a great demand.

“You still said you wouldn’t sell it to the Air Force?” Zheng Yucheng sighed. Xie Kai’s shamelessness surpassed his imagination.

“The goal is still not the air force priority, mainly for export. Many countries have many fighter jets, but there are not many specialized trainers.” Xie Kai said, “I didn’t think about this problem before, so I have been worried about this.”

The backlog of 200 engines in the hands is indeed not a good thing.

“This is indeed a very good way out.” Zheng Yucheng nodded and said. “Even in our country, there is a great demand for advanced trainers.”

“Under such circumstances, so we really have to get Huo Haiyuan to our unit, otherwise, we will finally make wedding dresses for Rongfei and 611.” Xie Kai’s abacus clinked.

From the beginning, they wanted to form their own fighter development team.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

With the construction of the 404 airport, the design team of Yunshi has begun to prepare to move back to 404 instead of staying in Qin Fei.

The production factory can be omitted, but the design team must be in their own hands, otherwise, it will be a trouble in the end.

“The problem of production is easy to solve. We don’t need to build a supporting production plant ourselves. That is redundant construction and waste of money. There are already enough domestic aircraft factories. Once anyone fails to cooperate with us, we can choose other ones. Isn’t production unit cooperation? Only the team is in our own hands, so that we can develop products that meet the market according to the needs of customers…” Xie Kai said.

Both of them have the same mind. Anyway, they have to control the core research team in their own hands.

Immediately making a plan, I decided to talk to Huo Haiyuan first.

After all, Huo Haiyuan is a senior member of the 611 Institute, and he himself does not agree, even if an agreement is reached with the 611 Institute, he will not be able to get away.

“Go to 404? Isn’t the current cooperation pretty good?” Huo Haiyuan didn’t expect that the two talked to themselves about it.

Digging the foot of the wall unexpectedly digged to my side.

“Mr. Huo, we don’t speak secretly, you also know our situation. The Super Seven project is funded by us, but it is not under our jurisdiction. Moreover, the entire team is dug from the national aviation industry system. So far, there is no chief engineer…” Zheng Yucheng said.

When things have reached this point, there is no need to cover them up.

“I was responsible for the Super Seven Project. Wouldn’t it be okay to go on like this?” Huo Haiyuan was at a loss.

This is different from what he imagined.

“It’s really good, but 611 uses our funds to verify the design of the 10th project. There was a cooperation agreement before, but they were too much, right?” Xie Kai said calmly, “We can also get some money. It’s not easy. It was originally intended to cooperate with the Pakistan Air Force. So far, the Pakistan Air Force hasn’t heard anything.”

Xie Kai’s attitude is obvious.

Now it was their family who was undertaking the research funding for the entire project.

It was originally estimated that the entire project will invest 500 million US dollars in research funding. But now that the two models of projects, although many systems are the same, the only difference is that the aerodynamic layout and the power system are a little different. The funding required is definitely not US$500 million is enough.

Huo Haiyuan was silent.

“Since we invest in this project, we definitely don’t just need such a fighter to finish it. We need to enter the international market and continue to sell fighters. The design must be in our own hands.” Xie Kai sees Huo Haiyuan not. He said, “We have a complete F-14 in our hands. You know this, right?”

Huo Haiyuan’s eyes lit up suddenly.

He guessed a possibility, but was not sure at all, “Do you want to imitate the F-14?”

“Not only is it imitation, we use the F-14 as the blueprint to develop our own fighter jets. As you know, from the F-14 to our hands, we started surveying and mapping. The avionics and fire control systems of the Super Seven Project are both Our 404 unit is doing it.” Xie Kai said triumphantly.

Super 7’s avionics and fire control system are indeed prepared to be copied from the F-14. Due to the level of the domestic electronics industry, it is almost equivalent to a redesigned one.

The performance cannot be compared with the F-14’s avionics and fire control system, but it is far more advanced than domestic radars.

“If you want, we lack a chief engineer. The Super Seven project is just for training. In our country, the development of light fighters is difficult, and no one is going to develop heavy fighters.” Zheng Yucheng made a killer.

Huo Haiyuan was tempted.

“Tissue training for me is not easy. If I am…” Huo Haiyuan was tempted, but did not directly agree to accept it.

He is very embarrassed.

Once I went to 404, it was a complete betrayal of 611.

“There are a lot of people in 611, and the No. 10 project. You are only in charge of some small projects, right?” Xie Kai said, “People want to go away, and the water flows down. Mr. Huo, as long as you agree, leave the rest to us. ”

“What do you guys do?” Huo Haiyuan knew that the people of 404 were digging people, but he was afraid that they would go too far, and eventually he would become enemies with the entire 611 people.

“You can rest assured that it will never make it difficult for you. What we need is a person in charge who can work on the project with peace of mind.” Zheng Yucheng assured.

Huo Haiyuan said nothing.

The design of China’s first heavy fighter is too tempting.

It’s not that he wants better treatment or something, the 404 person has never discussed treatment with him.

“He agreed, that’s easier. Do you think we paid for it, or what?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Huo Haiyuan agreed, and things would be easier.

As long as 611 releases people, everything is not a problem.

“You don’t need to do anything, just trouble them. If you want to continue to cooperate, just transfer Mr. Huo’s relationship to us.” Xie Kai said with a sinister face, then put his mouth to Zheng Yucheng’s ear and whispered. So and so.

The next day was another discussion meeting on the progress of the Super Seven Project, which gave Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng a good opportunity.

Song Wencong, deputy director of the 611 Institute, introduced the details of the entire Super Seven Project.

For the chief designer of the J-10, Xie Kai is very respectful in his heart, but the problem now is that they want to dig people.

If Lao Song could be poached away, he would have liked it, but this is impossible, so he can only offend Lao Song first.

“We have already understood the situation. The progress of the project has indeed exceeded our previous expectations. But there is a problem. I don’t know how everyone considers it. According to the original plan, the Super Seven Project is only one for export. Why did one project split into two so far…” Zheng Yucheng sternly, after Mr. Song introduced the situation, he sternly raised questions, “The expenditure of the entire project has seriously exceeded the previous budget… …”
