Chapter 1131 The first heavy-duty stealth aircraft that can be exported

Fortunately, everyone in front of me is knowledgeable, and no one dares to say this. Moreover, everyone will not realize that this is a flat Su-27. At this time, everyone is very interested in the advanced nature of this aircraft. surprise.

"Then let me introduce to you the engine of this fighter jet. We plan to install two turbofan 15 engines on it. Each one has a thrust of 15 tons. Two units can get a thrust of 30 tons, giving this aircraft excellent maneuverability. , Moreover, its engine is the same as the engine of the fourth-generation stealth aircraft sold by Dongfang before, and it is completely interchangeable, which facilitates logistics supply."

When the plan was first introduced in China, the Northern Research Institute planned to use the turbofan X-10 engine. There are many reasons. For example, the turbofan X-10 is the most suitable engine for the Su-27 series aircraft. Using this engine will allow them to reduce the number of engine compartments. For the workload, just use ready-made ones. For another example, Turbofan 10 was created by the brother unit next to them in the north. You have to get the brothers to help you.

 So, at the beginning, they did not consider changing the engine. However, if they want to sell it to overseas markets, they have to consider many factors.

 For example, a customer already has a fourth-generation stealth aircraft, which is only a medium-sized aircraft. For the customer, there is also a demand for a heavy-duty aircraft. How to choose at this time? If the two aircraft use the same engine, it can greatly reduce the pressure on logistics and reduce their maintenance costs. If they both use the same engine, they will already be familiar with it.

Therefore, after some consideration, they still used the turbofan 15, hoping to gain recognition from customers and sell better. Moreover, the thrust of this engine is still large, with 15 tons in the initial stage, and will be in the later stage. It reaches 18 tons, and it is said that the 18-ton engine has been tested on the bench. When it matures in the future, the thrust will be stronger.

“Excuse me, can this kind of fighter jet cruise at supersonic speed?” Someone asked below.

"It's not possible yet. In order to be consistent with the fighter engines on hand, we use the conventional version of the turbofan 15A. In fact, in our country, there is also a turbofan 15A. The maximum military thrust of this engine is It exceeds ten tons, and the maximum afterburning thrust reaches 18 tons. When this kind of engine is installed in the future, it will be able to cruise at supersonic speeds."

The ability of supersonic cruise depends on the engine and the airframe. When the afterburner is not turned on, the engine thrust is large enough, and it can naturally enter the field of supersonic cruise. The Yankees' F22 fighter is the first in the world that can perform supersonic cruise. Fighters rely on the perverted F119 engine, and the French Rafale fighter is the second type. It relies on a small body and two M88 engines. It almost requires a large external auxiliary fuel tank during normal flight. Although the French It boasts that it can cruise at supersonic speeds with four missiles and a 1250-liter auxiliary fuel tank, but only you know whether it can fly to Mach 1.4.

 If Dongfang's heavy-duty aircraft wants to cruise at supersonic speed, it needs a suitable engine. The modified version developed on the basis of the turbofan 15 can fully meet the needs.

“So, does your aircraft engine have vector thrust?”

For a long time, the vector thrust capability has been considered to be quite awesome. Every time at an air show, Lao Maozi’s fighter planes have to perform wonderful maneuvers. The Cobra maneuver has long been a thing of the past. , maneuvers such as falling leaves, which are dazzling to watch.

  The F22 fighter also has vector thrust capability, but it uses a simple baffle. When it comes to vector thrust, Lao Maozi dares to say that he is first, and no one dares to say that he is second.

“Everyone, we believe that the vector thrust function is just for showing off at air shows. If it comes to the battlefield, the era when maneuverability is king has long passed!”

Lao Maozi’s aircraft attaches great importance to maneuverability. He even built a forward-swept wing fighter for maneuverability. Is this kind of aircraft the direction of future development?

of course not!

 You must not be fooled by such dazzling movements, because in the future battlefield, mobility will no longer be of much use.

"In fact, starting from the third-generation aircraft, the requirements for informatization have been very high. In the era of fourth-generation aircraft, the requirements for informatization have become even higher. The range of air-to-air missiles is getting longer and longer, requiring strong detection capabilities and tail-biting attacks. The method has become an omnidirectional attack, and the overload of the missile is getting bigger and bigger. Does the fighter plane still need to rely on a series of dazzling maneuvers to grab the position and get the opportunity to launch the missile?" Lin Xia looked at the people below and let out a soul torture.

 Fighters no longer need too much maneuverability! No matter how good it flies, can it be better than a missile? The most important thing is to fire first! Whoever gets the information about the enemy plane first will fire first!

"In modern air combat, fighter planes are mainly used as air launch platforms for missiles. What they pursue is how to be the first to find enemy planes at medium and long distances and fire, rather than rushing up to fight with bayonets. Everyone should know that supersonic cruise is used In addition to reaching the battlefield faster, you can also escape faster. NATO fighter plane confrontation shows that as long as the F22 fighter jet enters supersonic cruise, it means goodbye, no more fun!"

 The people below laughed.

"Nowadays, the requirements for informatization are getting higher and higher. Pilots alone can no longer process huge amounts of data. Therefore, fighter planes are not only king of information, but also have entered an era where intelligence is king. Whose fighter plane is smarter? If you have the initiative, you can fire first. What determines the outcome of a war is definitely not mobility, but the degree of informatization and intelligence. In fact, this trend was already reflected in the war in the early 1990s. No matter how powerful the MiG-29 at that time was, it could not win a modern war!"

 “That’s right, that’s right.”

“That is, to what extent is your fighter aircraft intelligent?”

“Our fighter aircraft, if necessary, does not require humans to operate it from takeoff to landing.” Lin Xia said: “At the same time, it can also command the two accompanying drones to launch attacks at any time!”

 For these rich people in the oil areas, today is really an eye-opener for them. What they hear is unheard of and everything is brand new.

 What will the fighter aircraft of the future look like? This is what it looks like on the stand!

“Excuse me, do you have a prototype of this fighter aircraft? Can it be used for flight demonstrations?”

"I'm sorry, our prototype is still in the design stage." Lin Xia said: "According to our development plan, this fighter will be able to fly for the first time within three years, and it will be in service status within five years. The fighter jet that year was The 31A fighter jet was also launched in the design stage and achieved great success. Our FC-31 also plans to follow this route. If there are customers willing to invest in our aircraft, they can purchase the fighter jet at the best price. Enjoy the privilege of being world premiere!”

 How the J-31 was developed, so is their FC31. After all, this is a twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft, and it is the only one available in the world!

“Hmph, just take a PPT project and fool people.” At this moment, a voice sounded from below.

Lin Xia's eyes darkened, and she looked down and saw a white man in a suit and leather shoes, looking at him with disdain.

"Is the security here?" Lin Xia shouted: "Mr. Security, please come here, someone wants to come to our booth to cause trouble!"

"I'm not causing trouble, I just want to say, don't be fooled by them. When it comes to fighter jets, the fighter jets developed by our Dassault Company are the most advanced!" The other party was not afraid. No security guard would dare to be discerning. Looking for trouble with him?

 He is the team leader of Dassault Company!

"Since our Rafale fighter jets entered service, we have created many brilliant sales myths. You can come to our booth to take a look. Instead of pursuing an illusory PPT project, it is better to pursue the most advanced fighter jets in reality. The Rafale fighter jet is The strongest fighter in the world! Hey, hey, don’t pull me!”

Two security guards had already walked over, and one of them dragged the Frenchman backwards by his arm.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing? I’m French and I’m from Dassault. You can’t do this to me. I’m going to sue you!”

 The sound gradually faded away.

Lin Xia glanced over there with disdain, how stupid she must be to do such a thing.

“Excuse me, can this fighter jet be deployed on a warship?” The crowd with a piece of cloth on their heads continued to ask questions.

"Of course. When we were designing this aircraft, we had three styles, namely the land-based combat model, the land-based bombing model and the carrier-based model. Each of the three models has its own merits, so you can choose according to your needs."

The Mingzhou Group also has three types of fighter aircraft, namely land-based, carrier-based and vertical take-off and landing. The heavy-duty aircraft are destined to be unable to take off and land vertically, but they can play bombing models. After all, this kind of aircraft has a large enough bomb bay and can take off and land. Fighters are used as bombers.

"Bombing model? If it is a bombing model, what weapons can it bring?" Someone below became excited.

Mingzhou Group's fighter planes can also bomb, but after all, the built-in bomb bay is not big enough, and it always feels uninteresting to hang up. It would be great if a large-scale bombing fighter could also be invisible.

"It can carry various weapons. In addition to the bomb bay inside the belly of the aircraft, we will also set up two heavy-duty mounts on both sides of the wings. More ammunition can be mounted through the stealth bomb bay, both inside and outside. It can have a total loading capacity of six tons to meet the needs of long-range bombing."

A huge bomber like the H-6 can carry nine tons of ammunition when performing close-range bombing missions, but it can only carry three tons of ammunition during normal bombing. The stealth fighter in front of us can carry six tons of ammunition for bombing. Absolutely never!

Many people present were excited. They already had stealth fighters, and it was time for a stealth bomber. Looking at the reactions of the people below, Lin Xia sighed in her heart. Sure enough, you have to cast a wide net to catch big fish. The designers at the Northern Institute would never have thought that these customers would actually like the land-based bombing model!

This is also reasonable. Countries are very liberal in exporting fighter jets, but they are very cautious in exporting bombers. Just like an old man, even if he is about to starve to death, the Tu-22M at the bottom of the box will definitely It won't be sold. When the relationship between the West and the East was good, the weapons arsenal was open to supply, but bombers were not sold, and neither were fighter-bombers.

As for now, it is even more impossible to sell various advanced stealth attack aircraft or bombers in the United States.

In oil areas, these customers are eager to obtain ground attack capabilities, because they always remember that they still have an enemy. If they have this kind of stealth bomber and carry six tons of ammunition, just think about it. It's cool enough.

Below, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at the fighter model and the huge crowd for a long time, then turned around, went to an unnoticed corner of the exhibition hall, turned on his mobile phone, and sent a message.

 Ten minutes later.

“The land-based bombing model will be introduced to you first, and then we will introduce the carrier-based model. This is also the world’s first carrier-based heavy-duty stealth aircraft. Its emergence will completely change the situation at sea.”

The people below became excited again. Although there is currently only one aircraft carrier in the entire region, they have their own shipyard and can continue to build it in the future. Only one aircraft carrier is definitely not enough. If they have a heavy-duty carrier-based stealth aircraft , you can definitely walk sideways!

You must know that the United States, which has the strongest military technology, does not have a stealth carrier-based aircraft so far! Their JSF is in trouble, and the Mingzhou Group's carrier-based aircraft can suppress them. If they have heavy-duty stealth aircraft, the Americans will have to withdraw from here completely.

　　Boom!

At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded in the distance, and the ground shook, causing everyone to stagger. The next moment, fear spread.

 Did anything special happen? If there is an accident, it is definitely not safe here and you have to get out quickly. However, although this exhibition hall is huge, there are not many entrances and exits. If everyone rushes to the exit together, there may be a stampede accident.

At this critical moment, Lin Xia shouted: "Just now, there was a test firing of a howitzer outside. There was nothing interesting to see. You should continue to listen to our introduction of fighter planes!"

Except for the organizers of the defense exhibition, no one knew whether there were test-fired howitzers outside, but after hearing this, they calmed down instantly.

With a normal mind, with a normal mind, this defense exhibition must have an outdoor exhibition. It is normal to fire cannons and listen to the noise. It is not a big deal!

Lin Xia's shouting will not spread too far, but it can still be heard at the Dongfang booth, and the booth here has the largest audience. If they don't run, other people will feel that their behavior will be felt even if they just start running. It was too stupid, so the entire defense exhibition became quiet again.

 After a few minutes, subordinates with white cloths on their heads came in one after another to protect the big shots and left. At this time, the scene was in order and no accidents occurred.

After coming out, Salman looked into the distance, filled with haze.

“The explosion just now was not arranged by us. It was a leak from a truck transporting natural gas on the road outside the exhibition site, causing an explosion. However, the fire department has now gone to the scene to deal with it.”

Although there are pipelines everywhere here, oil and natural gas are transported through pipelines, but these pipelines do not lead to everyone's homes, and vehicles are still needed to transport them. However, at this time, natural gas vehicles must be You won't be allowed on the road here.

 This is definitely not an accident, someone did it on purpose!

If the explosion just caused chaos indoors and everyone ran outside together, it might cause a stampede and someone might be trampled to death!

Thanks to the girl at the Dongfang booth who shouted and stabilized the big guy.

“We need a fourth-generation heavy-duty stealth aircraft. I think we can invest in this FC-31 project.” Salman said: “Of course, we also have requirements. After this aircraft is developed, it must be produced here.”

 They can already produce warships, but it is not enough. Next they need to be able to produce fighter planes!

 That fighter plane is still in the design stage now. They have to pay to support the research and development of the fighter plane. Of course, they can also make various requests. They must produce it here!

“Your Excellency Salman, I just received the latest news.” At this moment, the organizer’s brother came over in a hurry.

"what news?"

  “Open the phone, there is a video on it.”

 Only in the 4G era can videos be played smoothly, but this does not mean that you cannot watch videos on your mobile phone in the 3G era. It is just slower and requires buffering, or the picture is stuck one after another.

However, the defense exhibition site is fully covered by wireless networks, and you can watch it smoothly using wireless networks.

 Salman turned on his phone, clicked on the Internet, opened the web page, and found relevant content.

 A plump man appeared inside, with several microphones in front of him. He was obviously holding a press conference.

“We solemnly declare here that the Orientals have no right to export weapons without our express consent!”

You don’t need to listen to what’s next. Just hearing this, Salman clenched his fists: “Huh, they don’t have this power! Their hands are getting longer and longer!”

"Yes, this just shows that they are at the end of their rope, that's why they do such crazy things. We don't need to care about them. We do our own things and go our own way. The matters in our oil region are our own." It has the final say, no need for their interference!”

“That’s right, let’s go find the Easterners now and talk about this heavy-duty aircraft. We have a strong military force that is enough to protect our country and region!”

 Half an hour later.

Lin Xia appeared in the defense exhibition in the exhibition hall dedicated to customers signing contracts.

“Excuse me, how much funding will you need to successfully develop your fighter jet?”

 “At least 30 billion US dollars are needed.” Lin Xia said.

This number sounds very outrageous, but it is not unacceptable. You must know that the United States’ F22 fighter research and development funding is as high as 70 billion U.S. dollars, and the currency value was still in the 1990s. It is now the 21st century. Considering the currency Due to the inflation factor, even if Lin Xia mentioned the figure of 100 billion US dollars, it would be normal.

“We can provide half of the research and development funds, but we require this aircraft to set up a production line here.” Salman said: “Moreover, during the prototype production stage, our factory here must be involved.”

“Of course this is possible, but if you want to build a production line, it will cost at least 20 billion US dollars.”

 “We can come out!”
