In the air show, use advanced ones to flicker, wait until the project starts, and then replace the old engines. This trick needs to be played behind the scenes!

Bill froze for a while, and he couldn't speak, and General Zhang's face became gloomy. He had already seen that these Eagles must have ideas.

"You just said that the biggest threat we are facing now is the armed invasion of the Bear Nation. For the Air Force, our biggest mission is to intercept the bombers of the Nation Bear." Qin Guan continued, "I want to intercept quickly. We need the speed of the aircraft to be fast, so we developed the J-8 fighter jet."

The J-8 is a simple double-engined version of the J-7. Why should it be double-engined? Just want to get enough power to increase the speed of interception. Those terrible backfire bombers are simply a nightmare of Han, and they can throw nuclear bombs into the capital of Han at any time.

The first goal of the imported fighters from Han is to have interception capability, which is why the Mirage 2000 was repeatedly demonstrated.

And F-16? Is it designed to intercept bombers? Absolutely not!

"The F-16 fighter uses a fixed air inlet, and its air intake efficiency can only have an optimal value." Qin Guan continued: "Today's flight performance is very good, and we can infer it. The best speed of the F-16 is around Mach 0.8, right? How about let's add another experiment and let the F-16 fly to Mach 2. Show us how long it will take?"

The fighter plane uses a jet engine, which has to take in air first, and the design of the air intake is also a matter of university.

When the speed is low, the air intake has to be larger. After the speed is high, the air intake has to be smaller, otherwise the engine will not be used at all, and the air resistance will increase.

This is determined by the relative speed. The faster the aircraft speed, the faster the air flow relative to the aircraft. If the speed exceeds Mach 3, all the compressors in front can be omitted, and the incoming air can be blown directly. Go inside the combustion chamber, which is the so-called ramjet.

Therefore, the air intakes of high-performance fighters are adjustable to meet the needs of different speeds. However, the F-16 uses a fixed air inlet.

Although in terms of technical data, the F-16 can reach Mach 2, but, in fact, after Mach 1.6, it is a painful process to continue to increase the speed.

If you have driven a small-displacement car, full of people and goods, and speed up on the highway, you will know that no matter how you step on the accelerator, the car will not accelerate, the F-16 probably feels like this.

Even after it reached Mach 2, it arrived only briefly and could not hold for a few seconds at all.

If it cannot conduct rapid interception, what use does the Air Force want? Do you want to play the air show?

"For us, the most lacking is the ability of mid-range air combat." Qin Guan continued his own question: "Can this F-16 fighter plane of yours be equipped with Sparrow missiles? Please give us a clear statement. If possible, we hope to be able to conduct an aerial shooting experiment. The cost will be paid by us."

These three combos hit the opponent's weakness in one fell swoop, making Bill almost suffocated.

What Han China lacks most is mid-range air combat. After all, the missiles for close-range combat can still be used. However, the medium-range missiles are too technically difficult to deal with at all, and they can only be purchased.

Even when Mr. Gu gave an introduction at a meeting yesterday, he always regarded mid-range interception as a selling point.

After all, even their previous generation of F-4 fighters have the ability to launch Sparrow missiles. These three generations of F-16s, which use the latest electronic technology, can't launch medium-range missiles?

Only Qin Guan knew, really couldn't.

In this regard, it is estimated that Pomegranate is also very wronged.

When it was first developed that year, General Dynamics mounted four Sparrow missiles under the wings of its fighter aircraft, which seemed very prestigious.

However, when Sister Pomegranate came out, the result was that she couldn't hit the mid-range bomb!

From a technical point of view, it is because there is no continuous wave illuminator installed to provide a medium-range guidance signal for the Sparrow missile, but this is definitely not intentional omission, it seems to be intentional.

At the beginning, according to Bo Yi's theory, we don't need sparrows, we can use our excellent mobility to hover behind the enemy chicken, just like this, blow the enemy's tail!

The fighter mafia despises medium-range bombs and even distrusts fighting bombs. If they follow their ideals, F16 will become a long-legged version of the J-12.

This is one aspect, and another more important aspect is probably the Air Force’s own consideration.

They already have air superior fighters, and the F-15 is their killer. If the F-16 can do the work of the F-15, what if that thing is blocked by the guys in Congress?

Therefore, for the Air Force, which regards the use of the same aircraft as the Navy as a shameful shame, the f15 is too important. Although the 16th sister is accepted, it is only used to perform ground attacks, and any possible threat to the eagle must be eliminated.

(F-16, nicknamed Pomegranate Sister, F-15, nicknamed Eagle.)

Of course, this was the situation when it first came out. In the later stage, Eagle Country found that it was a bit too willful, so the later batch of F-16s can hit medium-range rounds, not only sparrows, but also AIM-120s. Can fight.

But that was something later. The F-16 is now positioned as a low-end aircraft with high and low levels. Don’t look at how awesome it is during the flight show. It’s really an old scalper on the battlefield, full of bombs. Swallow the ground and fly over to do the bombing.

What is the heart of Yingguo people? Selling such a fighter plane that is not suitable for the air force's needs to Han?

The final blow of Qin Guan's three combos was obviously fatal. Qin Guan's questioning had never been answered by the opposite Bill, because he could not answer in the first place.

Here, the air force commander’s face has changed. He also stood up and asked Bill, "Mr. Bill, what kind of engine does it use, how fast can it fly, and can it fire medium-range bombs?"

The Air Force is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the medium-range bomb. What Qin Guan said is the most critical. Now, the other party can't give a specific answer.

"I hope you will treat these issues rationally. Our fighter plane is the most suitable for your side..." Bill also wanted to delay the past and fool the past, but the Air Force Commander had already waved his hand and turned away and walked outside.

"We don't want this kind of fighter!" The commander of the Air Force was angry. After doing it for a long time, he got a tasteless!

The rest of them looked at each other.

General Gu's face turned pale, and his body was trembling non-stop. He was still full of hope just now, but now, it is from hope to disappointment.
