Chapter 480 Eighth Master wants to board the ship?

  All of this was almost driven by Qin Tao, while the navy was passively accepting it.

Use the two T-10K prototypes to survey and imitate, and develop our own J-15. This project has already started, but considering the complexity, it will take a few years, but there are samples of the T-45 trainer Come to imitate, plus the matching engine, it should come out soon, and training will be able to start at the end of the year at the latest, or two or three months at the earliest.

  Draenor has to wait a few months if he wants to enjoy it, so let’s play it on the emulator now.

"Yeah, I can only do it on the simulator first, but fortunately, you guys have done a good job of making changes, and you already have the landing scene of the carrier-based aircraft." Delano said: "I tried it a few times and mentioned a lot. By the way, your navy has also sent some pilots to study."

  The navy also sent pilots?

  Qin Tao became curious: "Where is it?"

   "Over there, they're running and fucking."

Following the direction of Delano's finger, Qin Tao saw young faces one by one. There were not many of them, only about ten of them. They must have been carefully selected in the navy, although there are no fighter planes that can fly here for the time being. However, they are still working **** physical training, striving to fly into the blue sky as soon as possible.

  These people were approaching quickly, but when they came, Qin Tao suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Wang Wei, Zhao Yu?"

  Qin Tao didn't expect to see two acquaintances again!

   Speaking of meeting, Qin Tao only met them once, but Qin Tao remembered them clearly.

   At this moment, upon hearing Qin Tao's call, the two stopped and walked in place: "Report, President Qin is calling us!"

   "Stand still!" Huang Xin, the commander of this small force, gave the order.

  Everyone stopped and stood in a line.

   "Mr. Qin, welcome to the Huangdi Village Base, which was built by you. Now that you are here, please tell us a few words!" Huang Xin said.

"Well, I'm not your leader, and you don't have to be so formal." Qin Tao looked at the people present: "You are all the proud sons of heaven, and I admire Qin Tao. Since you have been selected here, it means You will be accompanied by death, you are the bravest people! I believe that you will use your courage and skills to overcome various difficulties and eventually become the first batch of carrier-based aircraft pilots in our country!"

  If it is other projects, excellent pilots can be sent out to study, such as aerospace engineering. The first batch of astronauts will receive strict training from Lao Maozi.

  However, the carrier-based aircraft business is not enough.

After all, the old man is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. The current Kuznetsov has just been equipped with carrier-based aircraft, and there is no training base yet. Americans are most familiar with this industry, but the Americans will definitely not give Domestic pilot training.

  So, I can only explore by myself. Fortunately, Qin Tao invited a large number of American instructors to be their instructors.

  However, the first batch of pilots still faced great risks. Looking at the young faces, Qin Tao admired them very much.

  Of course, among these people, Huang Xin is older. He came from Factory 112. As an excellent test pilot, it was under his hands that the J-8II fighter was finalized during the test flight.

  Placing an experienced test pilot as the leader of these young pilots is obviously intended to let him play a role-model role.

   There was a burst of applause below.

   "I have nothing else to say, you guys continue training!"

   "Mr. Qin, please continue to tell us. Is our first carrier-based aircraft our J-8II?" Wang Wei asked.

"That's right, the pilots we gathered all flew J-8II." Zhao Yu said, "We reckoned that this kind of aircraft should be used as a carrier aircraft. By the way, Wang Wei also drew an oil painting, Extremely Beautiful!"

  Wang Wei is a person who loves life. After he came here, he picked up the brush again during the interval of training.

   "Really?" Qin Tao was very interested: "Can I go and see?"

  Wang Wei and Zhao Yu didn't answer, but looked at Huang Xin expectantly.

  Huang Xin looked at his watch: "Today's physical training is over, free activities, after half an hour, gather next to the flight simulator!"

"yes!"

   Although it was said to be a free activity, no one left. Everyone followed Qin Tao and went to the dormitory lively. They went directly to Wang Wei's dormitory and looked at the recently completed oil painting.

  In the upper left corner of the oil painting, there are a few crooked words: oil painting "Long-cherished wish".

  Looking down from this position, there is an endless sea. As the background, there is a large aircraft carrier. The bow of the ship does not have a jumping deck. It is a large aircraft carrier like the US Navy.

On the right side of the center of the oil painting is the pilot's helmet, the red five-star on the top of the white helmet, the black goggles and oxygen mask under the helmet, which completely cover the pilot's face, so that the pilot's appearance cannot be seen. It has been abstracted into an ordinary pilot in the navy.

  The lower right corner of the entire oil painting is a carrier-based aircraft. At this time, it is getting on the aircraft from the catapult on the inclined deck. Looking at the right wing of the carrier-based aircraft, the large delta-wing structure can roughly determine its model.

   "This is our dream." Wang Wei said: "We are flying a carrier-based J-8II fighter jet, taking off from an aircraft carrier, and protecting the sea and air of our motherland!"

  Qin Tao did not speak, and looked at the painting for a long time.

   For any naval pilot, I am afraid there will be such a dream, right?

  Qin Tao knew that their dreams would come true.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?"

  Seeing that Qin Tao didn't speak, the people around were a little curious.

   "Well, cough." Qin Tao came back to reality from his thoughts: "This carrier-based aircraft, are you sure that the J-8II is suitable?"

At the beginning, Qin Tao got back two T-10K prototypes from Ermao, and the trainer aircraft that Qin Tao was busy with recently, are all highly confidential projects. The pilots in front of them will never know, so, in their From my point of view, the most suitable carrier-based aircraft in China is the J-8II.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Wang Wei immediately said: "Yes, at present, only the J-8II is the most suitable in our country, and the localization of the Su-27 has just begun, and the Su-27 and Su-33 are also It’s different, we don’t have a thorough understanding of the design of this aircraft, and we don’t have any references. It’s too difficult to modify. We can only choose between J-7 and J-8. What else can we use?"

   Although the domestic J-10 has started test flights, it is still kept secret. These pilots do not know the existence of the J-10 project.

  So, looking at what you have on hand, it can only be J-8II.

   "We've been using flight simulators for the past few days. I can see the cockpit instruments are very close to our J-8II, and the nose displayed on the simulator is also pointed." Zhao Yu said.

   These people will think of it!

  The instruments of various aircraft are similar with minor differences. The J-8 in China has inherited the instruments of the J-7, and the J-7 and MiG-21 are twin brothers, so the instruments of this cabin are of course similar.

   "Let's not talk about what you have, just talk about the performance of the J-8II aircraft and whether it is suitable for boarding the ship." Qin Tao said.

   Just talk about performance?

  Everyone was silent.

   fit?

   Definitely not suitable!

   What is J-8II? High-altitude and high-speed fighter jets have poor take-off and landing performance. It can even be said that they are not fighter jets, but interceptors. How can this kind of aircraft be suitable for warships?

  Aboard an aircraft carrier, you need an aircraft with good low-altitude performance, so that takeoff and landing will be more convenient.

but…

  Everyone was about to say something just now, when Xu Zhengyang walked over gently and whispered something in Qin Tao's ear.

  Qin Tao was taken aback for a moment: "What? They attach so much importance to this place?"

  Who cares here?

   Of course the navy.

  It was originally just a training base, and even when it was first decided to establish it, it was just a casual suggestion by Qin Tao, who didn't take it seriously at all, but now, the scale of this base has become larger and larger.

There are already more than a dozen models of the J-31A, and the size of the personnel is gradually expanding. Headed by the person in charge of the base, Li Yan, there are hundreds of fighters below, responsible for various operations, and dozens of old men command, Now, there are a dozen more pilots.

   This once abandoned base is becoming more and more lively now.

   Moreover, the superior leaders actually want to use this place as the meeting place!

  The time was the next day, but in the evening of this day, people arrived one after another.

   "This base really looks like that." After dark, Wu Shengli also came over. He stood on the tower, looking at the deck model illuminated by the lights below, full of interest.

   "Dad, what kind of meeting do you want to hold, you have to come here?" Qin Tao asked Wu Shengli.

   "It's okay to tell you today." Wu Shengli said, "Of course it's a meeting about carrier-based aircraft."

   "A meeting on carrier-based aircraft? Is this still necessary?" Qin Tao was a little curious: "Didn't we choose surveying and mapping to imitate the T-10K, and named it the J-15 fighter jet? Are there any other questions?"

Wu Shengli sighed: "Yes, our best solution is of course the J-15 fighter jet, but we have had many contacts with Lao Maozi on the key engine, and the other party just refuses to provide it for the Su-33 fighter jet. The engine used. So, this project may encounter problems, just to be on the safe side, we have to have a replacement project."

  Engine!

  The development of domestic fighter jets has always been constrained by the engine. If there is no third uncle, then the J-10 will probably fail. Now, on the navy's carrier-based aircraft, it has encountered similar problems.

  When the 601 Institute carefully proposed to Da Mao to purchase the AL-31F3 engine, Da Mao immediately realized what was happening and refused directly.

   It is not necessary for you to purchase this kind of special carrier-based aircraft engine! Our existing engines are more than enough!

  What are you going to do? Do you want to produce another carrier-based aircraft in addition to the Su-27SK? No, you did not buy our technical materials, which is a violation of our cooperation agreement!

  The old man used to not care about patent rights, but now the times have changed, and the old man knows that knowledge can also be sold for money.

  Su-27SK technology has been sold. Of course, it can give various supports to Dongfang, but the technology of carrier-based aircraft is not sold. Dongfang wants to produce similar fighters, absolutely not!

   You can order it from us!

   Lao Maozi is waiting for Dongfang to come to order, how can he provide Dongfang with technical production, so the engine is determined not to sell!

   Without a dedicated engine, the imitation of this fighter will not be possible!

  Qin Tao understood: "It's normal for the old man not to sell, but this is not a big problem. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine. Besides, what can we do without this kind of carrier-based aircraft?"

  Wu Shengli exhaled lightly: "J-8Ⅱ."

   "What?" Qin Tao was shocked by the news: "You still want to board the ship with that kind of thing?"

"Yeah, it's a twin-engine aircraft, and there was a plan to refit a carrier-based aircraft before, so this time, the 601 Institute brought up this plan again. The original plan was to hold a meeting at the 601 Institute, anyway. The projects are all their own, but later, in order to make this meeting more realistic, we decided to hold it in Huangdi Village, after all, the aircraft is used by the aircraft carrier, and it would be better to come here to simulate it.”

   "Then you guys have your meeting." Qin Tao said: "Mingzhou still has a lot of things to deal with, and I haven't been home to see my wife and children for a long time, so I won't join in the fun with you tomorrow."

   "How can this work? It is because we heard that you are here that we chose this place for the meeting." Wu Shengli said: "At the meeting, you also have to speak, and you even have the right to vote."

   "I'm a shipbuilder." Qin Tao said.

   "Yes, the current carrier-based aircraft is used on the ship you built."

  Qin Tao is helpless, he has been wandering around in the aviation circle recently!

   "Because you have the right to speak, I will tell you the content of tomorrow's meeting, so that you can be mentally prepared." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao: "Now, do you have any ideas?"

my thoughts?

Qin Tao glanced at the night deck simulation operation below, and said with a smile: "Baye should have retired a long time ago, and our J-31A is the real aircraft carrier-based aircraft that can hold up the sky in the future." model."

   "J31A? This project is farther away!" Wu Shengli sighed, and turned his head to see that Qin Tao had already left!

  Baye, handsome man in the sky, board the ship? Isn't this a joke? Qin Tao was really speechless. This is definitely turning the clock back in history! Is this kind of thing worth discussing? If you have an engine problem, fix it! The old man didn't sell it, so he tried to get the old man to sell it, because the other party didn't sell it, so he used the J-8II to make do?

   What kind of thinking is this?

  Qin Tao just couldn't complain.

  Other people came one after another. On the second day, in the conference room of the base in Huangdi Village, the selection meeting for carrier-based aircraft officially started.

"First of all, please don't use the old concept of the past to look at our J-8II fighter. Just like the J-7 fighter is constantly improving, our J-8II fighter is also constantly improving. Based on it, we will study The ACT technology, that is, the variable stability control of digital telex, allows it to have excellent maneuverability and perform many difficult maneuvers that could not be done before. We also developed a special J-8ⅡM foreign trade aircraft. A miracle in the history of development, the development period is short, the speed is fast, the quality is good, and the cost saving is unprecedented."

  Of course, what Mr. Gu said was to Qin Tao. After all, he can roughly guess Qin Tao's attitude, but there is no way! He had already retired, but to engage in this project, he had no choice but to come out and continue to use his spare energy. Moreover, he and Qin Tao were more familiar, so it was most appropriate for him to lead the team to participate in the meeting.

   "In the 1980s, we also carried out the work of refitting the J-8II fighter jets into carrier-based aircraft." Gu Lao continued: "At that time, our refitting mainly had five points."

  The PPT appeared on the screen, and Mr. Gu kept pace with the times. He continued to explain to everyone with this specially made slideshow.

"First of all, the first one is the problem of take-off. At that time we studied the relevant catapult take-off device, but since our first aircraft carrier will be a ski-jump take-off, we don't need to add this device, but the engine The performance of the aircraft has put forward very high requirements. We plan to replace the turbojet-13 engine with the Kunlun engine currently under development, which can greatly increase the thrust and meet the requirements for ski jump takeoff."

   While talking, Mr. Gu went to see Qin Tao, and found that Qin Tao didn't seem to be interested in these things at all!

"Then comes the landing. There are many problems here. First of all, it is the problem of the pelvic fin. Our existing single pelvic fin cannot meet the landing needs. We can replace it with the previous double pelvic fin to reduce the height from the ground. At the same time , the rear fuselage is relatively wide, and the ship hook can be easily placed."

   "The next problem is the strengthening of the landing gear. We have started relevant research in China, and it should be overcome. These are expected to increase the weight by about 200 kilograms. In order to board the ship, they must be done."

"Then there is its single vertical tail. Since the vertical tail is very large and the height exceeds five meters, it is very difficult to get on the ship. Now, there are two main solutions. One is to use our active Control technology, relax the static stability, this can reduce the area of ​​the vertical tail by 15%, and reduce the height, on the other hand, it is to change the single vertical tail into double vertical tail, so that the height can be reduced to a greater extent.”

  During the whole process, Qin Tao didn't say a word, just sat there upright, not knowing what Qin Tao was thinking.

  Old Gu frowned more and more, and even felt a little guilty. In the end, he persisted and finished all the modification projects.

"We expect that, except for the engine, other projects can be completed within two years, and the subsystems of our existing fighters can be transplanted. The progress will be very fast, and the use of the navy will not be delayed at all." Mr. Gu finally concluded : "We know that doing this may be a bit out of class, but at present, this is the best choice."

   "Well, Mr. Gu has finished his speech. Now, everyone can put forward various opinions. Li Yan, please talk about it first."

  Li Yan is already the candidate for the scheduled captain of the aircraft carrier. The aircraft on it is prepared for him, so he has the most say.

  However, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin Tao, and said, "Shall we listen to President Qin's opinion first?"

  Qin Tao smiled: "Old Li, let me ask you, how many types of combat missions are there for our carrier-based aircraft?"

   This is equivalent to trying to teach Li Yan. During this period of time, he has accepted Stroll's experience, and he is also constantly pondering and learning. At this time, of course, he cannot be stage fright.

   "It is mainly divided into six types, air interception, air support, air combat patrol, anti-ship operations, air defense operations, and air reconnaissance."

   "So, what kind of missions can our J-8II fighter jets accomplish?"

   What can be accomplished?

   "If you don't install other equipment, you can only complete the air interception mission." When Li Yan finished speaking, he suddenly understood.

   The J-8II was originally an interceptor. Using it to fight with enemy fighter jets is courting death. It is not as good as the J-7! This is the same as on the battlefield of the monkey country, the cumbersome F-4 Phantom is often ravaged by the small MiG-21 or even the MiG-19.

   There are six missions, only one can be completed, so what is the use of it?

  Although the Tomcat fighter is also mainly responsible for the interceptor mission, it is equipped with high-power radar and long-range air-to-air missiles to shoot down the enemy's bombers, fighter jets, and even anti-ship missiles at the longest possible distance. However, the maneuverability of the Tomcat fighter is quite good, and other tasks can be completed smoothly.

   What about J-8II? What can I do?

   "As a carrier-based fighter, if it can't mount anti-ship missiles, what's the point of its existence?" Qin Tao asked.

   This is definitely the Achilles heel of the J-8II fighter!

  Although the aircraft looks very big, its mounting capacity is not strong. The common mounting method is only four air-to-air missiles.

   "Theoretically, it has a loading capacity of 2.2 tons." Gu Lao explained: "It can also mount our Eagle Strike 81 anti-ship missile."

   "This is just a theory, right? If it is really mounted, can it ski jump and take off on our aircraft carrier?"

There are many factors that limit the loading capacity. In general aircraft, the root of the wing can carry the largest weight. However, for J-7 and J-8 aircrafts, the landing gear is on the wing, resulting in a waste of space on the inside If it is dropped, it cannot be mounted at all.

  At the same time, if there are too many hangers, the take-off ability will also be weakened. On the runway on the ground, it is a big deal to roll for a while, but on the aircraft carrier, it is not so convenient.

"Besides, even if it can be mounted, the 2.2-ton ammunition capacity is too weak. It is estimated that the auxiliary fuel tank cannot be mounted. It is very different from the mounting capacity of the Su-27 series aircraft." Qin Tao said: "Just Take Lao Maozi’s Su-33 as an example, the external capacity for short take-off is already 6.5 tons, everyone, the number of carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier is limited!”

"President Qin, of course we know what you mean, but the current problem is that we cannot obtain a suitable engine. We are now discussing an alternative plan." Gu Lao said: "If we can complete the research and development of the J-15 fighter jet, then we Why take out a plan that has already been thrown in the trash?"

   Gu Lao was very wronged.

   "Can't get a suitable engine? Then think of another way! Just solve this problem?"
