Chapter 483 Old Maozi wants to stop? Get the stuff from the bottom of the box!

Let’s go back to the initial judgment: the 601 Institute does not have the ability to develop advanced fighter jets at all. Their technical level is to develop a J-8 fighter jet, which is high-altitude and high-speed. Therefore, the 601 Institute must be based on their Su- 27, let's develop a three-plane fighter!

   Recalling that some time ago, 601 requested to purchase a special AL-31F3 engine, and they became even more clear: after being rejected, the Orientals still did not give up this plan, but planned to use domestic engines instead!

If they only build a few imitations of the Su-33, that's fine. The problem is that they can clearly see that if the modification of the R-79 is used in the No. 11 project, Dongfang will not be able to do so in the future. Will buy the third uncle!

   They originally planned to use the engine to limit the East, the result?

   was bypassed!

   They are annoyed, they are angry, but they also have a sense of powerlessness.

  The other party is only willing to disclose that it is a triplane aircraft, but the other party will not say what it is.

Although they are all produced in the 112 factory, the confidentiality system in the factory is still very strict. They can't get in touch with the project independently developed by the 601 institute. , it's too late!

   Yemelyanov clenched his fists.

   At this moment, a car drove over, stopped at the door, and an old man and an oriental got out. The faces of these two people seemed to be very familiar!

   "Plesakov!"

   "Boss Qin!"

  Hearing the call, Plesakov stopped his hurried steps, looked at the standing people, and then recognized them: "Emelyanov, why are you here?"

   "We are engineers sent by Sukhoi, Plesakov, what are you doing here?"

   "Yeah, aren't you working on a vertical take-off and landing fighter?"

When the J-31A was displayed to the public, it was always Zhao Dangsheng who came forward. The behind-the-scenes election of Plesakov, even if it is usually called Mao, is out of order, but on the old Maozi's side, many people still know Insiders know that a large number of Jacques-141 designers participated in the J-31A fighter project.

   Now, they feel strange that Plesakov is here.

   "Yes, let me introduce some experience, especially the engine."

   Experience with engines!

  Everyone's heart skipped a beat again, need I say that? It must be the experience of the R-79 engine!

Different engines have different parameters, not only thrust and size, but also special indicators such as intake flow, surge margin, etc. Therefore, if the 601 Institute wants to install the engine on the aircraft, not only There must be some special engine nacelle structural parts to plug the engine in, and there must be other means to ensure the stability of the aircraft.

   Now, Pleshakov is here to help.

After all, the R-79 engine is used on the J-31A. The designers who developed this aircraft also have the most experience in the layout of the engine. They came to impart their experience, which means that this project is steadily progressing. advancing!

   "I'm sorry, I still have to go in. When I'm free, let's have a drink together." Preshakov said, and walked in.

  Qin Tao also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Yemelyanov.

   "Boss Qin, are you okay? Shall we have a drink?"

  Qin Tao hesitated.

   "Mr. Qin, you are a good friend of our Da Mao, since we meet, we must have a drink!"

"Okay, then let's go have a drink." At this moment, Qin Tao smiled secretly in his heart. In the past, he was the one who got drunk and made friends with the old men. Now, these old men actually want to do the same. Get him drunk, befriend him, and get things out of his mouth.

  This is really naive!

  However, this opportunity is what he wants.

  The groundwork has already been laid out, and the final decision is left. This work must be done by him.

  For these old men, whether it is the 112 factory or the 601, they are very caring, and a bar is specially prepared for them, so that the old men can have a drink after get off work.

  In the bar, there are old Maozi songs with beautiful melodies. Anyone with a little experience can tell that it is Katyusha.

"Come on, drink!" Yemelyanov raised his glass and said, "Mr. Qin, when our Su-27 was sold to the East, you also played an important role in it, because you saved our common Qingcheng, we can live a good life, thanks to you."

   "It has nothing to do with me." Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "I just followed along to join in the fun."

   "Mr. Qin, you are with us, but you have a good reputation. Many people say that as long as you are friends, it must be beneficial."

   "This sentence is not wrong. As a person, I like to make friends."

   "Boss Qin, we should be friends now, right?"

   "Exactly."

   "Then can we know what work you and Preshakov are here for?"

"Well, you guys are going to embarrass me, and you should know that these are top secrets." Qin Tao said: "If I say it, it will be a leak. Although we are friends, I still have to stick to the principle ah."

   A hint of disappointment flashed in Yemelyanov's eyes.

   "Of course, I can't say the purpose of coming, but I can talk about the progress of our J-31A project."

   "Mr. Qin, please speak!" Yemelyanov's eyes showed anticipation.

"The various subsystems of this aircraft are very smooth. Take its engine as an example. After we introduced a full set of R-79 engine technology, on the basis of this technology, we created a domestically produced turbofan fifteen engine. , Its test results are very good, this engine has become the most advanced domestically produced aero engine. In addition to being used on our J-31A, it must also be used on other fighter jets.”

  Engine!

  What they are most concerned about is the problem of the engine. Now that they heard Qin Tao say this, it is almost confirmed.

"And its avionics equipment." Qin Tao continued: "Our country has overcome the difficulty of the flat-panel gap radar. The Condor radar we developed has advanced performance and a moderate caliber. It can be equipped on the J-31A On the fighter plane, coupled with the air-to-air missiles developed by ourselves, this fighter plane will have a strong combat capability."

At this time, Yemelyanov was still thinking about the engine, and he hadn't paid attention to the radar and avionics equipment that Qin Tao mentioned. He didn't realize it until Qin Tao finished speaking, and his expression changed suddenly: "Is your own supporting avionics so advanced?"

   "Yes, we know the gaps in these aspects, so we have been working hard to improve our technology." Qin Tao said: "Our digital fly-by-wire flight control has also matured."

   Yemelyanov was completely confused.

Originally thought that the other party just changed the engine, but now it seems that the matter is not so simple, the other party intends to carry out a complete replacement, in addition to the engine, there are also radar, flight control, etc., all replaced, so that there is no need to ask the old man By purchasing any parts, Dongfang can completely produce a fighter similar to the Su-27.

   If this project goes ahead, how will they continue to make money? Even the existing contract for the assembly of two hundred aircraft could not be completed.

   No, absolutely cannot let such a thing happen!

   "President Qin, what do you think of the prospects of our cooperation project?"

  Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't know about that."

have no idea? It's not certain, but I don't know, there is a problem, there is a problem!

  Emelyanov's heart became even more entangled.

   "Come on, President Qin, drink!"

   After finishing the glass of wine, Qin Tao looked at the person in front of him: "Do you have something on your mind?"

"No no."

  Looking at the way these guys look, you know they won't hide their feelings.

   "I can reveal some inside information. Anyway, it's all gossip, unofficial."

   "What's the inside story?" Yemelyanov asked nervously.

   "Originally, they didn't plan to start a new business, but they wanted to order an engine from you, but you refused to give it. This matter angered them, and they decided to rely on themselves."

  What engine to order? Isn't it AL-31F3? Of course Yemelyanov knew about this, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big reaction.

  He reported this matter to China. After domestic judgment, he felt that Dongfang might want to imitate a fighter similar to the Su-33. The domestic subconscious reaction was that he was not happy.

  Why, what qualifications do you have to imitate Su-33? You can only buy from us!

   What is sold is the Su-27 production line, other aircraft must be purchased!

Da Mao has just equipped the Kuznetsov with Su-33. If there is no accident, the Su-33 production line will have to be closed. Now, if you get an order from the East and continue to produce Su-33, it means that the production line can continue. As long as it works, they can also make more money.

   Therefore, it is impossible to sell the engine, and you can only buy the whole machine.

   Originally thought that Dongfang would bow his head and admit defeat, and came to purchase, but how did he expect that Dongfang was stimulated and wanted to produce independently!

  If it was in the past, of course they would not believe it, the Orientals do not have this ability!

   But now?

  Engine, avionics, flight control, these are all available on the J-31A, and transplanted to the J-15, there is no problem at all!

  If the Orientals have finished this kind of aircraft, what will be needed in the future?

  The backward radar with inverted card antenna cannot mount the weapons produced by Dongfang itself...

"However, I heard that there is a problem with the current production capacity. The output of this turbofan 15 engine is very low, and it cannot meet their needs at all. Moreover, it is a new engine after all, and it is not as solid as the third uncle." Qin Tao continued. Said: "If you can export a large number of engines at a cheap price, then the project here will probably be delayed. After all, they have to develop independently, and the time and energy cannot keep up. , will make do with it for the time being.”

   This is the most critical step!

  When Qin Tao spoke, his tone was low and his eyes were erratic. In fact, he was paying attention to everyone's reactions.

   If you want to delay Dongfang's self-developed project, or even make Dongfang give up the project, then you should export it to the third uncle at the cheapest price!

   "Of course it's fine if it's an ordinary engine, but this kind of engine is used on carrier-based aircraft!" Yemelyanov was still a little hesitant at this time.

"What kind of carrier-based aircraft, there are no aircraft carriers in the east, so what kind of carrier-based aircraft is needed?" Qin Tao said: "It's just that the navy wants to purchase a batch, and plans to deploy it on the southern island. Of course, the aircraft must be protected against salt and moisture. Well, they have taken a fancy to the engine of this carrier-based aircraft."

   "Didn't you still talk about three-winged surfaces?"

   "Three wings, what a joke." Qin Tao said: "It's not that I look down on them. As far as the level of the 601 Institute is concerned, if they can directly add canards to the Su-27, I, Qin Tao, will walk backwards!"

Right!

   Now, all the problems are solved.

The East is not planning to get carrier-based aircraft, but to use it for the navy. It is an island in the south. They have heard about it for a long time. The south is reclaimed to build islands and create an airport. The surrounding area is sea water. If the engine of the carrier-based aircraft is used , it must be more durable!

   That's right, that's it!

   "President Qin, as long as we are willing to export this kind of engine, will we stop their self-development project?" Yemelyanov asked.

   "What did you say? I don't know anything!" Qin Tao began to pretend to be confused again.

have no idea?

   You were the one talking about it just now! Yemelyanov looked at Qin Tao in surprise, and then suddenly realized that Mr. Qin meant to stay out of the matter. He said so much, after all, it was not good for Dongfang.

   President Qin is really a good friend!

  Emelyanov was very grateful, but because he remembered this matter, after drinking another glass of wine, he said goodbye to Qin Tao in a hurry.

  He can't make a decision, he has to tell Moscow what happened here, and, because the matter is too important, he has to go back in person!

   When he was in the evening, Yemelyanov got on a passenger plane and returned to Moscow.

  All the foreshadowing has been completed.

  In Institute 601, the lights are brilliant.

   "Boss Qin, will your plan work?" Elder Gu asked Qin Tao with some concern.

   "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen." Qin Tao said: "We just need to do what we should do. As for whether we can succeed, it depends on God."

   "Mr. Qin, we are very moved by your open-minded optimism, but this project is too important to us, and there can be no mistakes!" Li Ming said with emotion.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Didn't Mao Duanzhang come here? How is your communication going?"

  Qin Tao brought Prishakov with him. He drank outside with Yemelyanov and others, while Prishakov sat with everyone to discuss the turbofan-15.

   After saying these things, Prishakov left. His J-31A project was too important after all. If Qin Tao hadn't summoned him, he wouldn't have come here at all.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's question, Luo Yang said: "After his introduction, we think that using this kind of engine is not a bad choice. Especially, the prototype of the turbofan 15 has been After the construction was completed, the relevant units began intensive transformation again, increasing the thrust of the engine and reducing the weight of the engine. This improved version can simply perfectly replace our third uncle."

  The prototype of turbofan 15 is just the beginning. On this basis, further improvement is the key research direction of 624 and other related institutions.

  Using domestic progress in aero-engines to increase the front temperature of the turbine and reduce weight at the same time, this is the improvement goal of the first stage.

"If you don't pursue the time effect, then this modification is of course the best. The problem is, we have an important time node!" Gu Lao said: "Our aircraft carrier has already started sea trials. Our fighters are still waiting for their engines."

   "How about we replace it with the original third uncle?" Li Ming proposed a plan.

  The sea flanker uses the specially improved third uncle, but if they can't get it now, they can only use land-based instead.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?" Mr. Gu yelled twice before Qin Tao realized that he was obviously thinking about other things just now.

   "Boss Qin, have you lost your mind?" Elder Gu looked at Qin Tao with some amusement.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I was just wondering if there is any need to develop our Turbofan 10 project."

   Turbofan Ten? This is the key project of Liming Factory! Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Gu's face immediately changed.

  Aero engines have always been a weak point in China. The turbofan 6, which had been in development for 20 years, finally died without a problem. However, scientific research cannot be interrupted. Therefore, in 1987, the development of a new generation of aero engines began again.

   It's just that, in order to reduce the risk of development, the CFM56 core machine used on passenger planes was directly imitated.

  For Western engine research and development, the first thing to do is the core engine. After the core engine is released, different external channels can be added to become different aircraft engines, which can be used for fighter jets or airliners.

This CFM56 core engine is not only the engine of the airliner, but also the core engine of the American F110 engine. The latter is equipped on the F16 and F15. fighter engine.

  In 1992, this engine had been tested on a bench. Of course, this was just the beginning. According to the difficulty of developing an engine, it would take at least ten years of experiments.

For domestic military aircraft, turbofan 10 is very important. When it was in glory, it supported almost all types of domestic fighter jets. J-11, J-15, J-16, and even the single-engine J-10 began to be replaced. up.

However, at present, there are still many years before the maturity of Turbofan 10, and the prototype of Turbofan 15 has already come out due to the full set of Lao Maozi's technology and craftsmanship, and it is still very successful. The model comes out, and the performance is more than a dozen of turbofans!

   In this way, the turbofan ten project is unnecessary?

"Of course it is necessary." Gu Lao immediately became anxious: "This Turbofan Fifteen is foreign after all, and Turbofan Ten is our own. Although Turbofan Ten will go through all kinds of difficulties, as long as Turbofan Ten succeeds If so, then we have walked a complete path, and in the future, we will gradually improve and improve, and it will not be too difficult. After all, this is our own child."

  Qin Tao smiled: "I don't know much about this, and I'm a shipbuilder, so it's not my turn to dictate this aspect."

   "No, Mr. Qin, your opinion is too important, please support the Turbofan 10 project." Gu Lao said seriously.

  Qin Tao changed the subject with a smile: "I'm exhausted today. I have to go back and rest. I'll have a look at the J-15 project tomorrow. I don't know what stage the project has reached."

"President Qin, we have already started the imitation of the airframe in a special factory. At present, the main frame of the airframe has been installed, and these are imitated according to the T-10K." Luo Yang said: "And, as long as With a brand new engine, our T-10K-7, which has not been disassembled, may also be able to fly."

What?

  Qin Tao opened his eyes wide: "Can that prototype also fly?"

  Luo Yang nodded.

"If this prototype can also fly, it means that as long as we get the engine, we can start the initial training in Huangdi Village!" Qin Tao became excited: "How about the strength of the plane? "

When Delano let him fly the Su-27, other planes are hard to say. No one sold Qin Tao's face, but these prototypes are different. Qin Tao got them back. As long as they can fly, Qin Tao will fly. I can arrange for Delano to fly, and even Delano is the best candidate, because I need to practice landing and so on. Delano, an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, has the most experience and can be a coach!

   "The strength is not a problem at all. We have checked everything, but the engine has reached the end of its life, and we can't disassemble it for repair." Luo Yang said.

   "Great, let's have a look tomorrow!"

Originally got two prototypes, Qin Tao just wanted domestic technicians to make better imitations, one was disassembled into parts, and the other was kept intact as a prototype, but he didn't expect that one of them would have a chance to fly into the sky .

  The next day, in the special workshop of Factory 112, Qin Tao saw the work on site.

On this project, the relevant personnel have been busy for a long time. The structure of the brand-new imitation machine has already produced longitudinal beams and beams that run through the entire fuselage. From the outline, it can already be seen that the beautiful The rudiment of the J-15 has taken shape.

   It’s just that the internal equipment has not yet been installed, and this prototype will take a long time. Moreover, even if it is assembled, it may be used for static tests, and it may not be able to fly.

  The T-10K-7 has been completely refurbished. The outer skin has been replaced with new aluminum alloy, and a yellow primer has also been painted.

   "If this plane can still fly, it must have a serial number. How about calling it 15601?" Qin Tao said to everyone.

  The front stands for J-15, and the back stands for Institute 601. Anyway, this number is just the factory number, so you can start it at will.

   "Boss Qin's suggestion is very good!"

   Basically, I will reply to everyone’s book reviews every day, but I find that most of the book reviews still cannot be displayed.
