Warship of Great Power

Chapter 562: IDon'tFly

  Chapter 562 IDon’tFly

   The data of 1,300 kilometers is not high. It is compared with the third-generation aircraft of this era. After installing the auxiliary fuel tank, those aircrafts can fly two to three thousand kilometers without any problem. However, if compared with the second-generation machine, this data is already quite a lot.

  Take the most common J-7 fighter as an example, the maximum range is only about 1,500 kilometers. A vertical take-off and landing fighter has the same range as the J-7, which is already very good.

   If there is no special need, who would choose a vertical take-off and landing fighter? Isn’t the regular version delicious?

  The data introduced by Qin Tao are all well-founded, and the insiders all nodded their heads in approval.

At this time, the roar on the runway sounded again, and two MiG-29s took off. So, more than half of the crowd watching here dispersed, and went over there to enjoy the performance of MiG-29s. The flight performance of this third-generation aircraft is very spectacular and dizzying.

  Qin Tao patted Zhao Dangsheng on the shoulder, looked at the test pilot again, and said with a smile: "You all have worked hard."

"Flying this kind of aircraft gave me a strange feeling." The test pilot Lei Qiang had a smile on his face. He was the one who was flying just now. He is also the chief test pilot of J-31A. The take-off and landing version is also inseparable from his test flight.

   "How does it feel?"

   "I seem to have escaped the gravity of the earth." Lei Qiang said.

People who have never flown a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet before will not have this special feeling. Although fighter jets can soar in the sky, there are many restrictions. Haven't tried it.

   At this time, Qin Tao smiled when he heard Lei Qiang's words: "Our engine is still not powerful. You will be able to experience this even more when you have an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10 or even higher."

   "Excuse me, do you sell this set of technology?" Just when several people were talking happily, a voice sounded.

  Schnoder didn't leave. He had been standing outside watching the plane. Now that there were fewer people, he finally couldn't help it, and asked Qin Tao and others.

Sell?

  Qin Tao turned his head in surprise and looked at Schnoeder: "Of course we sold it, we are in business, but we don't sell technology, we only sell finished products. If you want to buy, you can invest in advance."

   Hearing Qin Tao's talk of selling, Schnoeder was a little happy, but hearing Qin Tao's words, Schnoeder's expression changed immediately.

  The McDonnell Douglas company was originally a manufacturer of aircraft, how could it be possible to directly buy the whole aircraft? They just want to buy vertical take-off and landing technology!

  The lift fan in the front and the rotating nozzle in the back, these technologies can save McDonnell Douglas five years of time!

  However, of course Mingzhou Group will not directly sell the technology. This kind of technology cannot be sold for any amount of money. Once it is sold, the Americans will be able to master the relevant technology and develop the JSF fighter jet.

  Our side has already reached the forefront of the world in this regard, how could it be possible to support competitors?

   "So, if we want to purchase this aircraft, can you sell it?" Schnoeder pointed to the J-31A that had just completed a vertical take-off and landing performance.

"Of course not." Qin Tao shook his head directly: "This is a prototype, and it is still in the testing stage. We only sell finished products, and we have to order according to the order. The current order has been scheduled for ten years. You want to order it. As soon as possible."

   Even if they spend money now, it will take more than ten years to get the plane. By then, McDonnell Douglas will be gone long ago!

  Schnoder's face was full of regret. It seemed that the various plans he proposed could not be implemented. Now he can only continue to look at the plane with greedy eyes, and there is no other way.

   "Are you from McDonnell Douglas?" Qin Tao asked back.

   Now it was Schneider's turn to be surprised: "How did you see that?"

   "The only ones who are interested in our technology and want to buy them are Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Boeing uses the Sea Harrier solution and is not interested in our lift fan technology. Therefore, only you McDonnell Douglas."

  This analysis made Schnoeder's face a little red. Mr. Qin's analysis is completely fine, but, as a well-known military aircraft developer, he always feels a little embarrassed to come to Mingzhou Group to purchase technology.

   At this time, Qin Tao has continued to speak.

"Your insistence on the path of lift engines is actually correct. After all, Lao Maozi has been working on this technology. If it weren't for the collapse of the Red Empire, the Yak-141 fighter jet would have succeeded. Our vertical There are still many problems with taking off and landing fighter jets, and the lift engine will greatly simplify the problem, and the United States also has advanced engine technology, so you can use a better lift engine to solve the problem."

  President Qin is approachable, and he said these words very professionally, which made Schnoder listen to him. He seems to have forgotten that the two parties should be in a competitive relationship.

"The biggest problem with the lift engine is the ablation of the deck. This is because the Yak-141 uses a turbojet engine, and there are still two. You can use a turbofan engine, especially if you need to increase the external duct. In this way That would greatly reduce the problem of ablating the deck."

  Schnoder's eyes lit up, yes, this is a solution to the problem!

  Lao Maozi's engine technology was originally inferior to that of the United States, and because of its low reliability, two lift engines had to be plugged in. In case one of them stalled, the other could expand the power in an emergency, so as not to suddenly get down.

   But the American engine technology is advanced! The failure rate is quite low, so it can be replaced by an engine, or a turbofan, with a larger external duct, which can greatly reduce the influence of the tail flame.

  Schnoder nodded: "Mr. Qin, your plan is very feasible. By the way, why did you tell me this?"

  Even if Schnoder didn't react at the beginning, it should be clear now, how could Mr. Qin help them for no reason?

   "Because you McDonnell Douglas and we are good friends." Qin Tao said with a smile: "There are so many passenger aircraft manufacturers in the world, only you McDonnell Douglas and our domestic joint venture to develop aircraft and improve our domestic civil aviation industry."

Of course, this sentence was not from Qin Tao's heart, but it made Schnoeder's heart very warm. Mr. Qin is right, the relationship between McDonnell Douglas and Dongfang is the best, and we are still at Huating Cooperate in the production of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft!

   "Our performance today was very successful! This represents another big step forward for our J-31A fighter jet. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work!"

  In the box of the hotel, Qin Tao raised his wine glass and said to the people present.

In addition to the R&D team of J-31A, Vitalia and others participated in this banquet. Anyway, Vitalia is Qin Tao's closest friend. This kind of international cooperation is not a secret. The fighter jet project, of course, can also involve Vitalia.

"Yes, we have taken another firm step. Although there are many aircrafts at this air show, our aircraft is undoubtedly the most outstanding." Zhao Dangsheng said: "We will continue to work hard and let our The J-31A fighter jet completes all flight test subjects as soon as possible!"

   After drinking a glass of wine, everyone was very excited and continued to chat lively.

   "It is said that McDonnell Douglas has encountered many difficulties in the process of research and development..."

   "That's right, I don't know who the JSF project will end up with."

   "That goes without saying, it must be Boeing." Qin Tao is very sure: "If nothing else happens, the Yankee's JSF joint attack aircraft should be the flying toad."

   "Mr. Qin, why are you so unfavorable to McDonnell Douglas?"

   "Because McDonnell Douglas is about to encounter a crisis, their company will eventually go bankrupt and be acquired. Can this joint attack aircraft continue to be developed?" Qin Tao smiled.

  In 1997, the bankruptcy of McDonnell Douglas became a major event in the aviation industry, which shocked the attention of countless people. Boeing became the overlord of passenger aircraft. Of course, the European Airbus can also compete with Boeing.

   "Our domestic large passenger aircraft project is still a mess. If McDonnell Douglas can be acquired, then we will have large passenger aircraft in our country." Zhao Dangsheng couldn't help but say something.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, if we can acquire McDonnell Douglas, then of course we will do it without hesitation, but companies of this level are not within our reach. At that time, the most we can do is fool around with some aircraft design companies. The teacher is just here."

   McDonnell Douglas's large airliner project is indeed of great benefit to the country, but Qin Tao also knows in his heart that companies of this level are not within his reach.

   "What if our Green Creation Company acquires it?" Vitalia said.

  Qin Tao shook his head: "You guys should develop the gaming industry honestly. The airliner industry is very deep, and it can only be done if the country is in trouble."

  Vitalia nodded.

"The Dongfang air show is nothing to watch. Most of them are J-7 and J-8 fighter jets. These old-fashioned aircraft are still showing off, which shows that Dongfang's technology is still stuck in thirty years ago." There came a voice.

   The voice was loud, accompanied by hearty laughter. Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

   Isn't this too shameless?

"In terms of aviation technology, there is a big gap between the East and yours. Your IDF fighter is a modern third-generation fighter. When this air show is over, I will write a special article to compare fighters. gap."

  IDF fighter?

  When he heard this sentence, the big guy immediately understood.

  This air show attracted a large number of people, including those on the opposite side. For those people, it was also a rare opportunity to spy on the level of military aircraft research and development on the mainland, so they sent a lot of reporters.

   Today's visit is over, these reporters also got together to have a meal, and talked about these things, paralyzing themselves with the spirit of Ah Q.

   "Mr. Pingkov, you are so right. How can those J-7 and J-8 fighters be the opponents of our IDF fighters." Another person spoke.

  Pinkoff!

   This guy is not completely notorious yet, how dare he come to the east to join in the fun? Qin Tao couldn't help it anymore: "Zhengyang, do you know what the abbreviation of IDF is?"

  Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Qin, do you know?"

In fact, Xu Zhengyang is well aware that this IDF is the abbreviation of Indigenous Defense Fighter in English, which translates to self-produced defense fighters. This was a weapon development project launched by the opposite side in the 1980s. Since a large number of technical foreign aids can be obtained, this model The overall design of the aircraft is still relatively advanced.

  The shape of the aircraft is beautiful. The large side strips extend directly to the rear and merge with the wings. It looks like an F-16, and the air intakes on both sides under the wings are similar to the F-18.

  The large bubble-style cockpit has a flat and three-down cockpit layout inside, and the operating levers are all placed on the side. The overall level has reached the first-class level in the 1980s.

   However, due to the lack of engines, it uses the afterburner engines used by two trainers, which greatly limits the performance of the aircraft, but the overall is still advanced enough.

   In 1994, the aircraft officially began to take shape, and then entered the low-speed production stage.

  Zhao Dangsheng and others looked at Qin Tao curiously, listening to Qin Tao shouting: "IDon'tFly!"

  In an instant, everyone laughed. Of course the big guys knew that it was Mr. Qin who was teasing the other party.

  Vitalia also laughed. Although she didn't understand airplanes, it was obvious that Mr. Qin was laughing at the people next door.

Snapped!

  Someone next door slapped the table hard.

   "Boom, boom!" How dare you knock on the door!

  Qin Tao gestured to Xu Zhengyang: "Zhengyang, open the door."

   "Hey, what were you talking about just now?" Pinkov stood in front of these people with an angry expression on his face, pointing at the people inside with his hands on his hips.

   "Chinese?" Qin Tao gave him a blank look.

  This guy looks like a man of yellow race and speaks fluent Chinese. When he heard what Qin Tao said, he immediately shook his head: "No, I am now from Maple Leaf! I heard you making fun of IDF fighters. What qualifications do you have..."

   When he said this, he suddenly realized, no! He is very familiar with the people here, the one who is sitting there is full of style, seems to be Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group? The foreign woman next to him seems to be the famous God of Gamblers?

   There are other people present, who seem to be from the J31A team?

   "It turned out to be a traitor and a traitor." Qin Tao didn't save face at all: "You have no right to talk to me, get out."

  At this moment, Pingkov blushed: "Mr. Qin, you are insulting people. I am a famous media reporter. If you say that about me, you are despising all media people!"

"Why, did I say something wrong?" Qin Tao said, "You are an out-and-out Chinese with a foreigner's name. Does your father know that you forget your ancestors so much? When you die, you can enter the ancestral grave of your hometown. What? Besides, you have been slandering China. You are not a traitor, a running dog, and a traitor. What are you? If decades ago, you could still stand in front of me and speak? Believe it or not, I shot you dead?"

   "Everyone has the right to choose their own life!"

"That's right, everyone can choose their own life, but they must never forget their roots!" Qin Tao was aggressive: "If you want to live a better life for yourself, you will sell your motherland and kneel and lick foreign countries. People forget the blood flowing through them, such people are purely selfish!"

  Pingkov's face turned purple, and his fists were clenched tightly, but for the first time, he felt that he was running out of words.

Those traitors will find a high-level reason for themselves, such as curves to save the country, but no matter how they paralyze themselves, they are always fake. Other rhetoric.

   "Everyone, you just said bad things about the IDF fighter. Do you know this kind of aircraft?" Behind Pingkov, a reporter from the opposite side spoke.

  Qin Tao smiled, this person is smart enough, knowing that he can't continue discussing the topic of the traitor with Qin Tao, so he simply changed.

"That's not what I said. When this kind of aircraft is equipped with troops, the pilots will definitely say it." Qin Tao said: "Since you are so interested, let's discuss, what is the most important thing about an aircraft? "

  If you simply classify it, you can divide the aircraft into three parts: airframe, avionics, and engine. If you want to say which of the three is the most important, there will be debates.

   "Boss Qin, what do you think?" The other party asked simply.

"Of course it is the engine. There is a saying in the United States that as long as the engine is powerful, bricks can fly into the sky. Doesn't the shape of the F117 still rely on the engine to fly into the sky?" Qin Tao began to introduce: "However, the engine is tested. It is the industrial foundation of a country, and there are not many countries in the world that can develop their own engines. The biggest problem with IDF fighters is the engine!"

It’s really not easy to spray other things. After all, IDF’s avionics are at the level of F-16, and the radar is also F-20. The airframe is also remarkable, but the engine is definitely not powerful. of.

  A good-looking fighter actually uses the engine of a trainer!

"Its afterburner thrust is only four tons, and the thrust of the two engines is only eight tons, which is not enough for the turbofan-10 we are currently developing! It can't be compared with our turbofan-15. A trainer is about the same, and it’s really not qualified to be a fighter.”

  This is the same as talking about fuel consumption regardless of road conditions is playing hooligans, and talking about engine thrust regardless of the weight of the aircraft is actually playing hooligans.

Although the IDF engine is not powerful, it is also light in weight. The normal take-off weight is about seven or eight tons. It is enough to match the engine with an eight-ton thrust. However, if you say it, people will criticize: your engine Not to force!

It's like Mercedes-Benz has a 1.3T engine with 163 horsepower, which is comparable to many 1.5Ts, and even better than the 2.0 self-priming that many people say, but there is no way, if you have a small displacement, you will be sprayed .

   "By the way, the trainer plane we exhibited is the one from the 320 factory. It seems that the engine used is also more powerful than the IDF, right?"

The 320 factory is also working on trainers, and Qin Tao has also provided assistance. He cooperated with the Yakovlev Design Bureau to improve and improve on the basis of the Yak-130. The biggest improvement is the rear fuselage. It has been modified and an engine with afterburner is also used. The performance of this engine is stronger than that of IDF.

"Of course, our domestic fighter jets don't value that kind of engine." Zhao Dangsheng said, "Our fighter jets use a turbofan 15, with a thrust of 15 tons, and it's not comparable to their small planes. .”

   The IDF should be able to bully the J-7 and J-8. However, if you want to compare it with the J-31A, it is completely insignificant. The J-31A is an out-and-out fourth-generation stealth machine.

  These people finally stopped talking.

   "When friends come, there is wine and meat, and when enemies come, there are shotguns. If you want to make friends, you can come in and eat together." Qin Tao looked at the crowd and said, "However, we don't welcome guys who have forgotten their ancestors."

  Pingkov left angrily, and several other people did not come in to drink together, but followed him and left. In this way, the private room here became calm again.

"Qin, this Pingkov is very powerful. He knows a lot of media. If you humiliated him this time, he will probably spread rumors to the Mingzhou Group." Vitalia said from the side: "If it is not convenient for you , I can help."

  Qin Tao smiled: "Weina, you can't do anything. After all, this is the Zhuhai Air Show. During this period, there must be no incidents that shouldn't happen."

  Vitalia nodded: "Okay, let's forget it."

   "It would be great if he went to Magang to play a few games." Qin Tao said.

  Vitalia smiled knowingly, needless to say in detail, the arrangements are well done!

  The breeze is blowing, and the night is slowly passing by. The rumors about IDon’tFly are also spreading rapidly.

   On the second day, many people at the air show began to discuss it.

   "Have you heard of it? Yesterday, a group of people went to Boss Qin to argue, but Boss Qin scolded him like hell."

   "Yeah, especially the explanation of IDF, it's really classic!"

   "However, that kind of aircraft is really tasteless, especially the engine, which actually uses the engine of a trainer!"

   "Originally, it was an alternative that could not be purchased, but now with Mirage 2000 and F-16, this IDF already exists as a low-end machine."

   "Hey, at the booth of Mingzhou Group, why are there two planes missing?"

   "That's right, where is the other one?"

   "Over the runway, this aircraft of Mingzhou Group is going to perform an air show, it's amazing!"

  Yesterday, the vertical take-off and landing model just had a vertical take-off and landing flight show on the apron, but now, this carrier-based model is finally going to do a normal flight show!

  Everyone is excited.

  Although it has long been heard that the J-31A has started intensive test flights, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the true face. Today is really lucky!

   What IDF, it can't be compared with this kind of stealth machine at all! The strength of the East is too strong
