Chapter 424 Development of Project No. 11

This is not a shame. Factory 132 has also done it. When they modified the J-7, they used some electronic equipment produced by Marconi to reduce the weight of the nose. However, because they could not solve the problem of the center of gravity change, they Added a cement weight block.

 Later on, composite materials were used for the tail, and the front and rear balance was removed. When it came to the J-7E, brand new wings were used and the structural calculations were re-calculated, and then the airframe was completely mastered.

Now, I have just finished reading the technical data of the Su-27. I have just started to build an aircraft based on these technical data, and I need to make improvements immediately. Who has this ability?

“Can’t this radar be used on the J-H-7 first? We designed that aircraft ourselves and can modify it in any way. You’d better install it on the J-H-7 first.” Another person said.

Mr. Lin's face looked a little ugly.

 Mr. Lin has actually reached the age of retirement, but he is in good physical condition, so he is still working on the front line. Isn’t it clear what his appearance means at this time? These people actually only know how to excuse themselves?

Difficulties are definitely there, can’t we face them head on?

“If we ask Lao Maozi to come over and help, we may be able to solve the balancing problem, but then Lao Maozi won’t be able to sell accessories, and it will be different from the contract we originally signed. I don’t see this possibility.”

 Mr. Lin clenched his fists and wanted to speak, but he saw Qin Tao next to him, so the serious expression on his face softened a little.

"Mr. Qin also helped a lot during the introduction of our Su-27 fighter jets. He is also a leader in the domestic shipbuilding industry. Now, let's hear what Mr. Qin has to say. How does an ancient poem say it? No. I only know the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am in this mountain, and if I step out of our circle, I may be able to have better opinions."

 Mr. Lin's words were meant for everyone to hear. After hearing what he said, everyone turned their eyes to Qin Tao.

Some of them knew Qin Tao, such as Sun Chong, and there were many who didn't know Qin Tao. When they asked people around them, they couldn't help but sigh when they learned that he was the person in charge of Mingzhou Group.

"Mr. Lin, I am a shipbuilder. If I come to attend this meeting, I have already crossed the line. I will not get involved in such major events involving our aviation industry." Qin Tao immediately expressed his position.

 What does it have to do with me? I'm just a passerby!

If it weren't for Mr. Lin's invitation, Qin Tao really wouldn't want to come. It has nothing to do with him.

"That's polite." Mr. Lin said with a smile: "Although Mr. Qin is a shipbuilder, he does not give in in other aspects. In the aviation industry, there has been groundbreaking progress. We are the most advanced in the country. The military aircraft research and development project is not our Project 10 or Project 11, but Project 31, a fourth-generation aircraft with stealth capabilities that can also take off and land vertically, especially through international cooperation. The fact that Mr. Qin was able to accomplish this kind of initiative without our country’s investment is enough to show his long-term vision, and someone like you will surely be able to give us a more far-sighted statement.”

 Qin Tao suddenly realized that he really had no reason to refuse.

Although Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, he single-handedly supported the J-31A project. This project is not only the best in the country, but also well-known internationally. Even Americans are stimulated.

The business operation model of this project is brand new, and domestic aviation technology will also benefit from it and move to a new level. Therefore, it is natural for him to provide advice on the current situation.

"Yes, Mr. Lin is right." Mr. Gu said: "Mr. Qin also has a lot of insights in aerospace engineering. Since you have come to participate in this meeting this time, you must speak boldly. Everyone applauds!"

 So, there was applause from below.

Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli again. The father-in-law actually closed his eyes and rested, obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter.

"Okay, then I will say a few words. If my words are serious and offend some people, I hope you won't blame me."

Wu Shengli opened his eyes and looked at each other with Mr. Lin, both seeing the anticipation in the other's eyes.

 Qin Tao is about to show off his power.

"Our 601 Institute is the first aircraft design institute in China. We have had great success in the past. The J-5, J-6, and J-7 were all manufactured here. But, what then? In the following time, in addition to the J-5, we Eight, what else can you use?"

"The J-10 fighter designed by our brother unit 611 has begun test flights. This canard layout fighter is the first of its kind in our country and is also an advanced aerodynamic layout in the world! In addition to modifying the J-8, we will What remains is the introduction and production of the Su-27. On this project, should we proceed step by step and proceed slowly and honestly, or should we face the difficulties, forget about food and sleep, overcome obstacles, and master the technology of this aircraft in our own hands?"

Mr. Lin was very satisfied.

Qin Tao is not from within the aviation industry, so it doesn’t matter even if his words offend some people. Do you want to give him some shoes? It's not an industry at all.

 Mr. Lin is very dissatisfied with the statements just below. When encountering difficulties, he will find various reasons to excuse himself, but it is impossible to face the difficulties. If this continues, how long will it take to master the technology?

 You need a strong dose of medicine to stimulate them.

Qin Tao is considered a villain. Anyway, he will leave after saying these words. At worst, he will not come here again. But saying these words is also very enjoyable.

"We have obtained a complete set of information and completed proofreading of the information. We have started formal production. What next? What do we do? Sleep on these information? Or should we master the design principles of the aircraft as soon as possible? ?”

"Everyone, we have been lagging behind the world for many years! What we have to do now is to work hard to catch up and eventually surpass! The technology of the Su-27 allows us to see the gap. We now have to catch up with this gap and then surpass it, old man Maozi is our teacher, but we must be better than the blue! The Red Empire has collapsed, and Lao Maozi no longer has sufficient funds for military aircraft research and development. They can only work on third-generation aircraft, but we can continue to develop fourth-generation aircraft. Machines, fifth-generation machines, will all appear in our hands!"

"The Su-27 has a huge body and great potential for modification. If we master its technology and improve on it, relying on our advanced electronic technology, we can completely surpass Lao Maozi! Today, I heard that the 607 Research Institute project, I am very touched. They were able to create such outstanding results under such harsh conditions. What about you? With your current conditions, do you have the right to complain about difficulties?"

 Some people's faces became extremely ugly, while others had excitement in their eyes.

"Think about the past, when we were very poor, we were able to produce two bombs and one satellite. Now, our conditions are much better than in the past, so what are we afraid of? As long as we show the spirit of the older generation of scientific researchers, I believe , our 601 institute is still the leader in the aviation industry, and the fighter planes we have transformed will surpass Lao Maozi’s Su-27! Everyone, it depends on whether you follow the rules step by step, or catch up and surpass, follow others, or work hard. It’s your choice!”

"Mr. Qin is right!" Sun hurriedly stood up: "There are indeed many problems we are currently encountering, but this should become the driving force for us to continue working hard, not a roadblock! We must work hard to fully understand the Su-27 technology, and then improve it!”

At this moment, Sun Chong's passion was burning.

“Yes, Mr. Qin is right!” Others below also expressed their opinions.

“Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu, I am willing to join the research and development team and work hard to fully understand the Su-27 technology!”

A smile appeared on Mr. Lin's face: "Mr. Qin's words are shocking. If they offend some people, put the blame on me and don't get into trouble with Mr. Qin. What he just said is exactly what he said. That’s what I want to say!”

“Mr. Lin, what should we do next?”

 Mr. Lin looked at the people around him, and then looked at Qin Tao.

At this time, Qin Tao had finished speaking and shouting slogans, and was about to go down to rest. However, he was stopped by Mr. Lin again.

“Mr. Qin, can you be more specific in your speech?”

 Specifically? How more specific?

Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli again and saw Wu Shengli nodding, so he could only stand there and continue to speak.

"Just now when I heard the following people mentioning difficulties, there was a saying that the technology was not fully understood, so cement was used for balancing." Qin Tao said, "So, for us, it is to understand the technology thoroughly and improve the procedures in the flight control system. , this trim is no longer needed, let me just talk about the flight control first. The Su-27’s analog telex system is backward, so after we thoroughly understand the technology and thoroughly master the flight control laws, we need to add a digital telex system. Make its control more advanced.”

 Thanks to the exchange with Luo Yang, Qin Tao knew very clearly about the specific problems of these aircraft, so he was able to talk about some projects on the carrier-based aircraft.

 In this way, it can also promote the development of carrier-based aircraft.

"In terms of avionics systems, comrades from the 607 Institute have already said that many of our domestic avionics technologies have surpassed Lao Maozi, so we have to replace them with domestically produced avionics. As long as the flight control is solved, trimming will no longer The problem is that our avionics performance will be stronger. In this way, we can also replace our own weapons and equipment, eliminating the need to import expensive missiles from Lao Maozi."

 The imported Su-27 can only use Lao Maozi's missiles. The J-11 currently produced on the production line must also use Lao Maozi's missiles. Lao Maozi will never open the weapon interface to match domestic weapons.

 After selling all the planes, they can still sell missiles.

"I'm not very clear about domestic aviation weapons research and development, but I think our air force should have its own research and development of medium-range missiles. Lao Maozi also has a lot of good things. It seems that the Kiev Radio Factory has products that are better than Da Maozi. We can get a lot of technology from Ermao Baimao for the 9B-1101K semi-active radar seeker used in the R-27 air-to-air missile."

"In terms of engines, we currently only have an overhaul line. However, after our overhaul line develops, it will not only be able to repair, but also manufacture some parts, gradually improving our own maintenance and support capabilities, until our turbofans are fully mature and replaced. .”

 Although Qin Tao is an outsider, what he said is basically reliable.

"How can it be so easy? We can't even produce cockpit glass." At this time, a voice below muttered in a low voice. Originally it was just a complaint, but because Qin Tao had just finished speaking and stopped to collect his thoughts, so , this passage appeared very clear in the conference room.

"Shut up!" Sun hurriedly shouted to the man: "If we can't produce it now, it doesn't mean we can't produce it in the future. The meaning of our technicians' existence is to study these things! If you only know how to complain, then you still have the face. Stay here?"

The technician who just complained immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"Everyone, I have been in contact with Lao Maozi a lot, and I have also spoken to Simonov. Do you know how the Sukhoi Design Bureau views our transaction?" Sun hurriedly stood up and asked the people around him said.

 This kind of question, of course, must be asked and answered by oneself.

"Simonov said that before 2014, we will not be able to fully produce Su-27SK fighters domestically. In other words, in twenty years, we will stay on the basis of digesting and absorbing the technology of Su-27 fighters, and these twenty years will Years are enough for the Sukhoi Design Bureau to develop a new generation of aircraft. Therefore, they will not worry at all that our production will pose a threat to them."

"Everyone, in my eyes, I think it will take us twenty years to master the technology of this aircraft! I don't know what you guys think. In short, when I heard this sentence, I felt a Such a deep shame!"

"If we take twenty years to master the technology of the Su-27, what will the world be like at that time? A fourth-generation aircraft or a fifth-generation aircraft? As the first aircraft design institute in China, will we have to follow suit in the future? Are you eating leftovers behind others? Is Lao Maozi's technology advanced? Many of our domestic systems are obviously more advanced!"

 Qin Tao’s words can only be an introduction. To really ignite the fighting spirit in these people’s hearts, it depends on the people among them.

Sun Chong played this role.

"The Su-27 has a long range, with a combat radius of more than a thousand kilometers, which our previous aircraft could not imagine. However, the navigation system of this aircraft does not have a specialized navigation computer and cannot calculate longitude and latitude. It cannot be calculated at all. To meet our navigation needs. In Lao Maozi's place, automatic command is carried out by radio correction. However, we do not have the aviation combat system of Lao Maozi, so we do not have the capability of long-distance combat." Sun hastily put forward the specifics The problem.

If you look at the domestically produced J-11 fighter jets, you can see a very strange scene: the early batch of aircraft assembled had an extra device hanging on the right side of the cockpit! This thing is a specially installed GPS receiving terminal in China.

Although the Su-27 has a long range, it does not have a corresponding supporting navigation system. Lao Maozi's homeland air defense system is very complete, but the country cannot build the same system because that system has long fallen behind.

"Currently, our J-8 is equipped with a 563 inertial navigation system. The reliability and navigation accuracy of this system far exceed that of Lao Maozi's system, and it only has two components, while Lao Maozi's has eight! Moreover, this year the system can also be cross-linked with other airborne equipment through our 1553B data bus." Sun Chong said: "Such a good thing, but we cannot use it on the domestic J-11 fighter. This is a huge problem. What a waste! We should have replaced all of Lao Maozi's avionics equipment long ago!"

"Sun Gong said it well." Qin Tao said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu, and other leaders. Although Sun Gong is young, he has great ambitions. I think he can be invited to be the general manager of this modified fighter. Division, leading aircraft improvement efforts.”

 Those who have the ability should stand on this stage as soon as possible and tell those who are just hanging around to get out!

Everyone present was stunned. Some people who were older than Sun Chong began to look strangely in their eyes.

 In terms of seniority, it’s not Sun Chong’s turn yet!

“President Qin, Mr. Sun is still too young after all.” Mr. Gu said. Although Mr. Sun was Mr. Gu’s right-hand man, Mr. Gu also had to take care of the emotions of some old comrades.

"Mr. Gu, in the meeting just now, you also saw that some old comrades think they are qualified and talk about difficulties in one way or another. If they want to reform and enterprising, they have to rely on young people, those old comrades, to continue Just engage in the production of Su-27, it’s time for our young comrades to take up this important role!"

Mr. Lin nodded: "I think it's okay. Sun Gong, are you confident?"

Sun hastily puffed up his chest: "Yes! I'm willing to risk everything. I can't let Lao Maozi look down on us!"

"The project of our navy is also carried out by young people. The future of our military industry must be placed on young people. You must remember your mood today. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must face them and face them. Don't Like some people, they are frightened by difficulties." Wu Shengli finally spoke.

 The two tasks are different.

The Navy's carrier-based aircraft is actually just pre-research. For Institute 601, this task is considered a marginal task and not important at all, so it is left to some young people to do it. The localization, improvement and improvement of the Su-27 are different. This task is definitely an important task of the 601 Institute. Those who take the lead in this task are the pillars of the 601 Institute. It is even possible to become the chief engineer in the future. .

 For Sun Chong, who is in his thirties, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.

 In this way, the meeting made a decision.

The current production will continue, but the development of Project 11 must also be started. This task of localization improvement and improvement has been handed over to Sun Chong. He will lead a group of young people to overcome technical difficulties one by one. Work hard to catch up and surpass the world's advanced level!

"Gong Sun, you have to remember that the Air Force wants aircraft that can fight! The country has given you this noon task, and you must also take responsibility. If your modified aircraft has serious quality problems, then The Air Force will not only refuse to accept the aircraft, but will also hold the relevant personnel accountable!" Mr. Lin's last words were a bit harsh.

 “Please rest assured, leader, we will definitely not disappoint the leader’s expectations!”

Qin Tao smoothed things over: "Actually, we still need to understand the technology thoroughly. For example, if we use composite materials to replace the original metal materials, we must take into account the matching problem and the structural strength problem. It must not be simply replaced, otherwise, Something is bound to go wrong.”

Sun nodded hurriedly.

"Of course, for now, we still focus on thoroughly understanding the original design. As for problems such as rickets, we can't solve them for the time being, so we'll keep them until we have a chance in the future." Qin Tao continued to tell him. On the contrary, he started to pay attention to this project.

The Su-27's rickets are caused by the radar on the nose, but we are a reverse imitation after all. Therefore, even with a lighter radar, it may not be able to solve the rickets. This requires the introduction of the Su-30 in the future. , or even the Su-35, can be solved.

Unconsciously, it was already evening, and in the canteen of No. 601, a table of people set up a small stove.

"Come on, Tao Zi, you said a lot on my behalf at the meeting today. I'm very grateful. Come on, I have to have a drink with you!" Mr. Lin raised his glass and said to Qin Tao.

 “Mr. Lin, this is already the third cup!”

“You boy, you have a better drinking capacity than the average old man, and you are still afraid of drinking this little wine? Come on, keep drinking!”

After three rounds of drinking, I gradually started talking more and more.

“Old Wu, are you so willing to watch me use your son-in-law as a gunman?” Mr. Lin looked at Wu Shengli.

"Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is bad for the ears and good for action. What Taozi said makes sense, and it is time for some people to wake up. Moreover, this is also for our navy's project." Wu Shengli also said it bluntly. .

 If we do not rush to promote the localization and improvement of the Su-27, the domestic carrier-based aircraft project will progress slowly.

"Taozi, can we just do it with them? Should we find a way to bring in a group of old experts?" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao again.

This time it was Qin Tao's turn to shake his head.

 After the collapse of the Red Empire, most of the military-industrial system was struggling, but there were also a few that were prosperous.

 Sukhoi Design Bureau is one of them.

In the era of the Red Empire, their aircraft could not be sold to the outside world. When the Red Empire collapsed, their Su-27 fighters began to be exported on a large scale. Therefore, as a system, they lived quite well.

Su-27 and Su-30 series aircraft, seven to eight hundred aircraft have been exported one after another, accounting for more than half of the country’s arms exports!

 Hence, not many designers in Sukhoi Design Bureau have been poached. Of course, they are just messing around. In the future, there will be no achievements. Even if they come up with some Su-57, it will just flatten the Su-27.

 Furthermore, I am still cooperating with Lao Maozi. As a result, Lao Maozi discovered that many companions appeared in Institute 601. What would Lao Maozi think?

 So, Qin Tao cannot do this.

"Lao Wu, you are overthinking. Even if Lao Maozi's experts come over, they will definitely be helping the J-31A project. After all, the wages and benefits there are high." Mr. Lin joked.

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, but in fact, it was really like this. If he got the aviation experts back, he would definitely give priority to the J-31A project. After all, he started this project by himself, and now it has become an international cooperation. large and luxurious.
