Chapter 1071 Eye-opening

"Our cockpit display is composed of two 250 by 200 mm high-brightness touch LCD panels. The large screen is divided into four vertical columns, which respectively display the tactical enemy situation, sensors, airborne systems, and weapons. Main combat information. The left one shows the airborne instruments, the right one is the weapon mount on the aircraft, because there is nothing, so this one is empty, and the right one is the radar screen, which you should be familiar with, but we Different colors will be used to distinguish them. For example, the blue circle symbol represents the fighter itself and the wingman, the green circle represents friendly forces, the red circle represents the enemy, and the white circle represents the unidentified person..." Zhang Zhonghua detailed Introduced.

The people below are also listening carefully. Although they can't see it, they can still imagine that such a large-area monitor can display all the content. It's amazing!

"The HUD above can display the content that the pilot urgently needs. For example, when flying, it is flight data, during air combat, it is the data of enemy aircraft, etc." Zhang Zhonghua continued: "At the same time, in order to facilitate operation, , we can switch by voice.”

“Voice switching?”

“Yes, the touch screen has no force feedback. In situations such as air combat, it is definitely not as direct as voice.”

In later generations, many cars like to install large screens to show their high-tech level. In fact, they have a full auto parts city style. When the driver is operating, it will be very difficult. Not only do they have to be distracted, Looking at the screen, the key point is that there is no force feedback. After pressing the buttons on the touch screen, I don’t know whether it works or not, so I still have to pay attention to it.

 Fighters will also face this problem, so working together with voice and touch screens is the best choice.

 “Can I try it?” The boss became interested.

 “Sure, but we have to switch languages ​​first.”

 Below, Mikhail’s eyes were complicated.

This kind of cockpit display technology is very advanced, and they are so stupid that they will never be able to make it within ten years. How can we use advanced cockpit avionics systems as soon as possible?

 The best way is of course to purchase from the East, but Mikhail cannot overcome the hurdle in his heart.

 More than a decade ago, Dongfang still needed to purchase fighter jets from Da Mao and introduce production lines. It was only with the help of the Su-27 that Dongfang truly gained control of the air. What about now? The Orientals actually overtook and overtook them.

Bolzakov is very open-minded.

“Mr. Qin, your technology is awesome!” Bolzakov said, “Especially the avionics technology, which is at the most advanced level in the world! I really hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

"Of course, we have always been best friends. If you have any needs, just ask us. Whether it is a cockpit display system or a radar system, we can provide you with supporting equipment. What you are good at is mobility, and what we are good at is aviation. If you combine electricity and electricity in this way, you will definitely be able to develop the most advanced fighter plane in the world!"

 Pair it together?

Mikhail looked at the aircraft in front of him again. This aircraft not only has excellent avionics, but also has high engine thrust and strong stealth performance. Is there anything on our side that is more powerful than Dongfang? It seems not!

Mikhail is really a little depressed.

“Everyone, please refuel our plane. According to the plan, we will present you with a wonderful aerial flight show.” Qin Tao said after seeing that the time was almost up.

 “Yes, we want to see the performance of this aircraft!” The boss nodded.

The Gromov Test Flight Institute often holds flight performances and has a special stand. Soon, the stand was filled with people. The boss sat in the place with the best view. On the left were Qin Tao and Nikolai, and on the right was Bo. While Erzhakov and Mikhail were waiting, the boss chatted with them.

“Mr. Qin, this fighter of yours looks really good, and I heard that it is also selling well abroad.”

"Yes, the current order has been scheduled for ten years." Qin Tao said: "We are one of a kind, popular all over the world. After all, we are the only medium-sized stealth fighter in the world, and we have multiple types of aircraft. No matter Whether it is air force, navy, conventional take-off and landing, catapult take-off and landing, vertical take-off and landing, there are corresponding models to facilitate customers' choice."

 Ten years from now? Nicholas frowned. Doesn't this mean that if he wants to order it, it will take ten years to get it?

 No, of course not. Qin's relationship with him is so good, so he will go through the back door when the time comes.

“Isn’t the takeoff and landing of your fighter aircraft very similar to our Yak aircraft?”

"Yes, it's very similar." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Actually, all airplanes around the world are the same. They have one fuselage and two wings. No matter how incredible the designer is, he can still make an airplane with three wings. ?"

If you want to say that we plagiarized, then forget about it. Aircrafts all over the world are the same.

“Isn’t your kind of plane cheap?”

"Yes, there are no cheap stealth aircraft. The current export price of your Su-27 is only US$70-80 million per unit. It is a twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft, but the price of our single-engine medium-sized aircraft has exceeded 100 million US dollars." , However, in the future battlefield, without stealth, there will be no victory at all, and the advantage of generation difference is huge." Qin Tao said: "If you don't believe it, we can do a simulated battle next , you can dispatch a squadron of Su-27s, and we only dispatch one stealth aircraft. Without the support of the early warning aircraft, our aircraft will win completely."

The boss's eyes lit up, and just when he was about to nod, Mikhail said beside him: "There is no need to compete like this. Four planes versus one are obviously bullying you. Besides, your aircraft production is so busy, so you should deliver it as soon as possible. Give it to the customer.”

Mikhail knew in his heart that if there was a real competition, the navy and air force would be shocked. By that time, their Su-27 would no longer be good. Especially, who knows what the Orientals think, what if the Orientals take it? The result of this confrontation was highly publicized, so their Su-27 was even more unsaleable!

Mikhail can't let this happen, this President Qin is full of bad things.

The boss looked at Mikhail thoughtfully and wanted to say something. At this time, the roar of the engine could be heard on the tarmac.

Although it was a long-distance flight, Zhang Zhonghua was not tired because the entire flight was almost automatic. He could even squint in the seat and fall asleep. The main reason was that the cabin was too small and he felt suffocated.

 After some exercise, my energy has almost recovered, and now I am doing a flight demonstration.

 Starting the engine and taxiing from the tarmac to the runway, everyone was surprised again.

 “Isn’t this a vertical take-off and landing fighter?”

“Yes, it is vertical take-off and landing, but everyone should know that in the case of vertical take-off, the aircraft’s load is limited and it also consumes fuel, so whenever possible, the aircraft will take off and land in short distances.”

Lao Maozi's Yak-38 does not have this function. After all, they use two lift engines, which are too difficult to control. However, the British Sea Harrier specializes in short take-off and landing, and they all know this kind of take-off and landing. the benefits of.

 Now, the vertical takeoff and landing fighter is about to roll away!

With the cover on the back of the aircraft open, the way the J-31A took off looked a bit funny, but everyone watched it very carefully.

This kind of rolling take-off places higher requirements on flight control!

How much lift the lift fan should provide and how the tail nozzle should rotate are all particular. It can be said that if there is even a slight difference, takeoff will fail or even cause a flight accident.

Even if the Yak-141 is developed, it will not be used in this way because the flight control of Lao Maozi is not strong.

However, the Easterners can operate with ease!

 The big guy’s eyes were full of shock.

"Can we use this method if we don't have a jump deck in front?" Nikolai asked. He was also very excited. At the same time, he also knew what this meant: their two amphibious assault ships could also use this method to take off. Way!

 Originally I thought that changes were needed, but now I suddenly discovered that even without changes, this kind of fighter can be operated better!

“Yes, what we are showing now is how to take off by taxiing within a hundred meters.” Qin Tao said.

As long as you don't pull onions directly on dry land and have a run-up, you can save a lot of energy. Now that the J-31A is showing this capability to everyone, the purpose is even more obvious: to let everyone know that those two 25,000-ton ships The amphibious assault ship can definitely use this kind of fighter! Now on the ground, there is no deck wind. On the amphibious assault ship, as long as it accelerates to the maximum speed, it can provide better take-off conditions for the carrier-based aircraft.

In the eyes of everyone, the fighter plane taxied forward. Compared with the normal take-off method, its taxi was not very fast. When it taxied for a hundred meters, the speed was just over a hundred meters, but , but the wheels easily left the runway and continued flying forward.

The lift fan on the back of the aircraft is still turned on and continues to provide lift, while the nozzle at the tail has been turned to a direction horizontal to the fuselage, providing the aircraft with a higher flight speed. As the aircraft continues to accelerate, the wings on the wing More and more lift was generated, and when it reached more than 200, the lift fan cover on the back of the aircraft slowly closed, completely switching to normal flight status.

"If it is a vertical takeoff, our maximum takeoff weight will be limited to 18 tons. Now with the help of a 100-meter rolling distance, our maximum takeoff weight can be increased to 23 tons." Qin Tao introduced to everyone : "The extra five tons of weight can allow the fighter plane to have more fuel and more weapons load."

“After just one hundred meters of sliding, the performance has improved a lot!” Nicholas was very satisfied: “Qin, your design is really great!”

“This is a common problem among all vertical take-off and landing fighters. If your Yak-38 could roll in a short distance, it might not be eliminated,” Qin Tao said.

Everyone is a little embarrassed. The take-off and landing points of the Yak-38 back then were all covered with special high-temperature resistant materials. If you want to burn, you have to burn an area. If it is changed to a rolling take-off, wouldn't it mean that you have to burn a line?

 As he spoke, the fighter plane had already turned around and started to perform various maneuvers.

  Modern third-generation aircraft can already perform a lot of maneuvers due to their powerful aircraft performance. Da Mao’s aircraft have become frequent visitors at air shows, performing various exciting and eye-catching maneuvers that are dazzling and refreshing.

 In terms of maneuverability, the J-31A has nothing outstanding, but this aircraft has a unique skill! It is a professional vertical take-off and landing fighter. The nozzle at the back can rotate downward more than ninety degrees. This is the vector propulsion system, so it can also perform unique skills that other aircraft cannot perform.

Looking at the wonderful flight performance of this aircraft, everyone applauded. Qin Tao introduced from the side what the function of each action was, what benefits it would bring to the pilot in air combat, etc.

Mikhail listened on the sidelines, feeling very disdainful in his heart. Hum, what’s so good about the performance of your aircraft? When it comes to maneuverability, it’s our Sukhoi Design Bureau!

 After watching the flight show, the boss went back, and everyone went to the canteen of the flight test center to hold a welcome banquet.

“Come, let’s raise a glass together and thank the people from the East for bringing us such a wonderful flight show!” Bolzakov raised the wine glass in his hand.

“We are honored.” Qin Tao said, “I hope we will have in-depth exchanges in more aspects in the future.”

"Mr. Qin, the technology of this fighter has a lot to do with us, Da Mao." Mikhail raised his glass with some dissatisfaction: "I heard that there are many Yakovlev design bureaus in the research and development team of this fighter. Our personnel, even the chief designer, are all from us. The engines used are also from our Da Mao. Come, let us toast to Da Mao’s technology taking root in your east!”

Qin Tao smiled: "Mr. Mikhail, I heard that Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the United States also have many technical personnel from DaMao. Not to mention our fighter planes, even the JSF in the United States also has your technology."

Mikhail's expression suddenly froze.

 Is Mr. Qin right?

Of course that’s right! At that time, the Red Empire collapsed, and many first-class technical personnel in Damao went to the West. Some who were unwilling to go to the West went to the East. As for the home country? There is no soil for them to survive in this country!

Now, can they blame Dongfang for poaching people? Of course not. If you want to blame them, blame them for not living up to expectations! They have no ability to retain their own scientific researchers. Even the Sukhoi Design Bureau has lost a lot of talent, most of which have gone to the West.

“The past is over, we have to focus on the future.” Nicholas said: “We believe that with our efforts and the help of the East, we will be able to modernize our equipment!”

 With help from the East? Mikhail wants to refute this statement, we don't need help from the East! But before the words came out, he thought of something else and couldn't finish the sentence. Without Dongfang's help, they would not be able to have a modern navy. Now the main equipment of the navy has been improved by Dongfang. Even the navy's two latest warships were also built by Dongfang.

Nicholas is not wrong in saying this.

"Your Excellency Nicholas, the Navy does need help from the East, but I don't think our aviation does." Mikhail said: "We have a strong aviation industry, and our Sukhoi Design Bureau is a world-renowned , we are fully capable of developing world-class fighter aircraft and providing the navy with the best equipment."

"Yeah, I'm also looking forward to you developing an advanced fighter jet for us. In terms of stealth, it can reach the same level as Dongfang's fighter jet. This shouldn't be difficult, right?" Nikolai said to Mikhail .

Mikhail's face immediately became serious.

 Achieve the same level as the East? What a joke! They don't have this kind of strength. Although they are very good, they have been studying mobility and stealth over the years. They have never considered it before. In fact, their technology really comes from cooperation with Dongfang. I learned it during that time.

It would be great if plasma stealth technology had been developed and matured back then!

“Come, let’s toast to the future of Damao Aviation Industry. I wish you can have a stealth fighter as good as ours in the future!” Qin Tao raised his glass.

Mikhail raised his glass with some depression and drank it all in one gulp.

 After the banquet, Nicholas originally wanted to talk to Qin Tao, but after receiving new orders, he hurriedly came to Qin Tao to say goodbye.

“Qin, the boss summoned us probably because of this stealth carrier-based aircraft.” Nikolai said: “You guys stay here for a few days and wait for news from me.”

 Qin Tao nodded.

 Most of the people who visited Eastern Aircraft today came to Moscow. It was already nightfall, and the lights in the conference room shone on everyone's face with different expressions.

“Let’s talk about it, what do you think of this Eastern fighter jet today?” the boss said.

However, no one spoke first, so the boss began to call names: "Bolzakov, you say it."

“The biggest feature of this fighter is its first-class stealth. Our S400 air defense system can only detect it at a distance of 40 kilometers. If it comes to war, this is very dangerous.”

“You mean, this kind of fighter will pose a threat to us?”

"No, no, that's not what I meant. At present, we have not found that this kind of fighter aircraft has been deployed to our borders, and it does not threaten Moscow. After all, it wants to fly over and needs aerial refueling. I don't think our air force is I will cooperate." Bolzakov joked, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"I mean, we need this kind of stealth aircraft." Bolzakov continued: "The performance of this aircraft is very advanced, which is an eye-opener for us. If we hadn't seen it today, I don't think anyone would believe that the performance of the fighter jet is very advanced. Stealth performance reaches this level.”

Nicholas suddenly felt happy, Bolzakov was talking to him! With his support, the Navy will be able to better purchase such fighters!

The boss looked at Mikhail: "Can our Sukhoi Design Bureau achieve this level?"

 Mikhail was in a difficult position.
