Chapter 759 Oriental people are hard-working, brave, smart, capable and creative!

Behind the side strip is the canard, and behind the canard is the main wing. This main wing also uses a butterfly wing structure. This structure is not suitable for hypersonic flight, but it is different from ordinary butterfly wings. The wingspan of this kind of wing is very small, but the wing root is very wide, which is similar to the delta wing of a high-speed aircraft. Looking at this layout, it should be a compromise between high-speed flight and low-speed flight.

This aircraft can fly quickly and at low speeds, and can even have air combat capabilities. Looking at the two outward-angled double vertical tails, Daniel's face became gloomy.

How can we pursue it? While we are still having a headache with fourth-generation aircraft, others are already working on fifth-generation aircraft!

 Originally, the United States was one generation ahead, but now it is being led by the Easterners!

The United States is not without high-speed aircraft. The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft built during the Cold War can fly around the world at speeds above Mach 3, and can also perform aerial refueling at subsonic speeds. It has advanced performance and has never been shot down during its mission. However, this kind of aircraft has become outdated with the development of the times, and the reconnaissance work has been given to reconnaissance satellites.

As for the Goddess of Dawn, it is just a legendary project, and it is as deceptive as Star Wars.

The only similar project currently underway in the United States is the X-43, which is a hypersonic aircraft developed by NASA in an unmanned manner. The project was launched in 1996 and now has a prototype. Overall, it looks like a triangle. surfboard.

 According to the development plan, this kind of project will take eight years and will eventually be able to fly at a speed of Mach 10.

In order to achieve this speed, this aircraft uses a parent-child aircraft solution. An improved B-52 is sent to an altitude of 10,000 meters. After release, the ramjet engine is started to fly at hypersonic speeds. This kind of aircraft also has to use the atmosphere. Oxygen is destined to be unable to fly in outer space. At the same time, the engine is not variable cycle, only a ramjet engine.

 Even so, research and development is still very difficult.

 As for the aerospace plane?

 Forget it, that thing is almost like science fiction. Even if some experts are currently studying it, they are just planning to let rockets fly up. They will definitely not fly up by themselves. It would be good to fly back by themselves.

 The plane in front of me looks like it wants to fly into the sky on its own.

“Excuse me, what engine does your aircraft use?”

Sure enough, before Daniel could speak, other reporters at the scene had already asked questions.

During the development process of X-43, the most critical technology is to develop the ramjet engine above. Now, the project launched by Mingzhou Group must also have an advanced engine.

 The most advanced engine technology in the world is in the United States! We have already been able to develop an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10. What ability do the Easterners have to develop an advanced engine? Without an engine, this project would not be possible!

Thinking of this, Daniel was also full of expectations.

 Look what the Orientals say!

"Our plane plans to take off from the runway and go directly into orbit. Of course, after takeoff, it will need to be refueled in the air to replenish fuel." Zhao Dangsheng has long been accustomed to such occasions, and of course he will not have stage fright: " So, we use a variable cycle engine. Now, you can look at the screen above my head, which shows the principle of a variable cycle engine."

Following Zhao Dangsheng’s introduction, the schematic diagram of this engine appeared on the screen. After just one glance, everyone present became suspicious.

“This variable cycle engine has no external duct and should not have the capabilities of a turbofan engine. It starts with a turbojet, but isn’t this turbojet engine too simple?”

“That’s right, there are only three stages of compressors and one drive shaft. This was the technology used in the first jet engine in the 1950s and 1960s, right?”

  I don’t understand the engines of aerospace planes, but everyone knows the most common turbojet and turbofan.

 In order to improve the air intake efficiency of the engine, this kind of engine requires multiple sets of compressors. The speeds of different compressors should be different to meet the needs. Now, in order to pursue the highest efficiency, three-rotor engines have begun to be used.

In this case, the single-rotor engine developed by Dongfang seems too simple, right?

 Even if it is to reduce the weight of the aerospace plane, it is not like this.

“Everyone, our variable cycle engine is different from ordinary variable cycle engines.” Zhao Dangsheng knew that everyone would ask questions, so he introduced it with confidence.

“We know that if a jet engine wants to have strong performance and a high thrust-to-weight ratio, it needs a multi-stage compressor. The higher the boost ratio, the more advanced the engine will be. However, this will lead to an increasingly complex engine structure.”

"If you want to change this situation, you have to research new engine technology. After years of research, our Turbine Research Institute has finally mastered the principle of the rotating detonation engine and is currently applying it in engineering. Our aircraft is based on this Built with engines.”

If we say that we have such an engine now, others won’t believe it. You have to be humble.

 “Rotating detonation?”

"What's the meaning?"

"This is a unique combustion technology. We call it detonation combustion technology, or it can also be called supercharged combustion technology. We know that the previous piston engines used isovolumetric combustion, and later jets used isobaric combustion. Now, the biggest feature of our detonation combustion technology is its self-pressurization capability. Simply put, it relies on explosive combustion to create a partial vacuum, and then **** the air directly in. In this way, there is no need for too much The compressor has greatly simplified the structure of the aircraft engine and can achieve a greater thrust-to-weight ratio. Moreover, because of the high combustion pressure and short combustion time, it can greatly improve the combustion efficiency and reduce the concentration of nitrogen oxides. Therefore, detonation combustion technology has Very good economic performance and environmental performance.”

At this time, at the back of the crowd, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were standing there, listening to Zhao Dangsheng’s introduction.

Zhao Ling had a smile on her face: "What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers? With a leader like you, the people he brings out will be like this."

"How is it?" Qin Tao glanced at Zhao Ling: "You're deceiving people? This is not deceiving. In the future, this kind of engine will really succeed. What you think is science fiction now will become a reality in the future."

“How is this possible? How do you have the ability to develop this kind of engine?” At this moment, a reporter spoke.

Rotating detonation sounds high-end. If this engine was announced by the United States, there would be no problem. However, if the East announced the development of a new engine technology, how could it be possible? They don't believe it.

"Why don't we have the ability?" Zhao Dangsheng asked back: "Please don't look at our Eastern technology through colored glasses. Sir, since you have come to the East, you might as well stay a little longer and walk on our Eastern land. If you take a look, you will know how ridiculous it is for you in the Western world to promote our poverty and backwardness. Our country has become strong long ago, and our technology has begun to leap forward! We have even developed fourth-generation stealth aircraft. , you can take a look, apart from the United States, which other country in the world has this kind of research and development capabilities? Since we can catch up with fourth-generation aircraft, what can't we surpass on fifth-generation aircraft? We Easterners are hard-working and brave, and we are smart We are capable, we are creative!”

"well said!"

There was a round of applause.

 Come to our Eastern land to question us Orientals? Look how powerful our support is!

"Everyone, because it involves technical secrets, our detonation combustion engine technology cannot be disclosed in detail." Zhao Dangsheng continued: "We know that some people will still look at us with colored glasses and think that we are not relevant. Technology, we don’t bother to debate with them, and we will slap those people in the face with facts when our aerospace planes fly into the sky.”

Zhao Ling was a little worried: "What if I don't get slapped in the face with the facts in the future?"

“If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. What’s the shame? Americans’ Star Wars is a scam. Will Americans feel slapped in the face? They will feel very proud.”

If this method is really used to lure Americans onto the wrong path and spend a huge amount of money, then it will be our own pride.

“Okay, let’s take a look at the animation demonstration. This engine can convert back and forth between turbojet, ramjet and rocket engines. In this way, our aircraft can achieve the purpose of entering orbit in a single stage.”

The structure of this engine is very simple and it is easy to change. Looking at the animation demonstration above, everyone is very emotional. Dongfang's technology is becoming more and more advanced. This engine should be under down-to-earth research and development, right?

Daniel had an inexplicable worry in his heart. The research of the Easterners was becoming more and more advanced. Sooner or later, they would surpass our own.

If you don’t want to be surpassed by the Easterners, then you have to work hard to catch up, and you have to start the same project. It is not appropriate to leave this kind of thing to NASA. In the end, you have to leave it to the arms giants, Lockheed The company has a duty to do so.

 After returning home, make suggestions to your superiors!

“Do you have any comment on the appearance of this aircraft? Why is it designed like this?” Another person asked.

"Everyone, the shape of our aircraft is based on the needs of an aerospace aircraft. It must adapt to both flight within the atmosphere and flight outside the atmosphere. We have done a lot of research and finally determined this layout. Everyone I also saw that, like the Blackbird, it is also black. This is an inevitable choice for hypersonic aircraft. Even the cockpit is black. We don’t want pilots to be accidentally accidentally in outer space. Of course, our pilots can be called astronaut."

If you go into space, the pilot must wear a bulky space suit, and the helmet only has a small lens in front of the eyes, without any rearward vision.

“Is this aircraft used as a reconnaissance aircraft?” someone asked.

This kind of hypersonic aircraft is difficult to intercept and can fly at a high enough altitude. Therefore, its most suitable use is of course reconnaissance.

When the Americans made the Blackbird, they originally planned to have combat models, but when they were finally put into service, they were all reconnaissance aircraft. As for Lao Maozi's MiG-25, although it is a fighter jet, during its service life, , there are far more reconnaissance missions than combat missions.

Now, the aircraft in front of me seems to be very suitable for carrying out global reconnaissance missions.

“It can be used for reconnaissance and air combat. We also designed a bomb bay under its belly.” Zhao Dangsheng continued.

"Such a design is unreasonable." At this moment, someone below began to express objections: "Since your aircraft is an aerospace aircraft, it needs to re-enter the atmosphere. During this process, the aircraft needs to slow down. If there are too many openings under the belly, the strength cannot be guaranteed at all!”

The space shuttle flies like an ordinary airplane in the atmosphere, but when it reaches outer space, it can adjust its attitude at will. After all, there is no air outside and will not cause resistance. The space shuttle must slow down if it wants to enter the atmosphere.

 How can we slow down?

Of course, you need to turn your **** to the front and blow the air in front. This way, you can reduce the speed by relying on the recoil of the jet, and then enter the atmosphere under the influence of the earth's gravity.

After that, the space shuttle will fly head-on with its belly, which can provide more resistance. If it is flying normally with the nose facing forward, then the speed will increase very quickly, friction will generate heat, and the space shuttle will become Meteor.

Since the plane in front of you is an aerospace plane, it should use the same method to slow down!

　　If there is only a hole for the landing gear in the belly, people will worry that the strength is not enough. Now it also has a hole for the weapons hatch. Is this possible?

“Sir, your opinion is very important. Therefore, when our aerospace plane returns from outside the atmosphere, it cannot have its belly in contact with the atmosphere, but its back.”

 The back of the machine!

 “How can this be done? This will cause the cabin to overheat!”

"So our canopy is black. There is something special about it. Of course, in order to avoid leaks, we can't say it." Zhao Dangsheng looked at the person who asked the question: "The attitude of entering the atmosphere can be adjusted, but we The missile bay cannot be adjusted. After all, we cannot launch missiles from the back of the aircraft. Otherwise, it will have to fly upside down every time it is launched. In this way, the pilot will call us designers idiots."

 The people below laughed.

Flashlights kept sounding, cameras kept taking photos, and the scene was a lively scene.

“After today, our plane will definitely become popular all over the world.” Qin Tao said: “Xiao Ling, let’s go to other places.”

Zhao Ling nodded: "Well, staying here all the time will make people think that we are planning something behind the scenes. Let's go to the Starship Company to have a look?"

 Mingzhou Group’s aerospace project layout mainly has three parts. One part is the stealth fighter team in front of us, one part is Tianjiao Aviation, and the other part is Starship Company. Among the three, the most outstanding one is of course Starship Company.

Before the emergence of Starship Corporation, the aerospace departments of various countries were organized by governments. Only after the emergence of Starship Corporation did various countries see the potential of private aviation: without government agencies, things would be delayed, hesitant and hesitant, and you could do whatever you wanted. , once you have identified a project, you will not look back, otherwise it will lead to bankruptcy.

Starship Company has successfully launched satellites and created miracles. Now that it is at its peak, what new things will they bring when they appear at the air show? It will definitely make people look forward to it.

 Qin Tao and Zhao Ling walked over.

 Aviation and aerospace are separate. Even if they are from the same group, they have to be exhibited separately. Therefore, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling had to go a long way.

●Just take a walk along the way and see that other fighter planes performed very well.

When Qin Tao passed by a booth, the people inside were making contacts.

"Our Xiaolong fighter is definitely the first choice for third world countries. Your fleet has gradually aged over the years, and you have not been able to purchase brand new fighters. Our Xiaolong fighter can quickly restore your air power. To the top.”

“Your fighter plane sounds very good, but the price is a bit expensive.”

"Everyone, is a third-generation aircraft worth 20 million US dollars, is it still expensive? Now in the international market, whether it is an F-16 or a MiG-29, it will sell for more than 30 million US dollars." Sang Hua continued to work hard. While promoting, at this moment, he saw the shadow in the crowd outside, and immediately said to the people around him: "Mr. Qin is here, please invite Mr. Qin over quickly."

Qin Tao didn’t know that he was intercepted on the way. However, when he arrived at the scene, he saw an old acquaintance and put a smile on his face.

“Mr. Manuel, we meet again. I wonder what your thoughts are on ordering submarines?”

Even though it was an air show, Manuel still came. After all, the navy of their country also had aircraft carriers, and the navy also had shore-based aviation.

Of course, the Air Force also sent a representative, and Paleo came with him. Now, it is Paleo who is mainly negotiating with Sang Hua, the person in charge of the Xiaolong fighter.

Manuel was a little embarrassed after hearing Qin Tao's words.

 At first, when they saw China’s state-owned aircraft carriers, they were very anxious and wanted to order aircraft carriers from the East. However, Qin Tao rejected their proposal and instead sold them submarines.

Since the Weeping Country already has TR-1700 submarines, they are not very enthusiastic about Qin Tao's proposal. Moreover, the people of the Weeping Country have always had difficulty in choosing. Therefore, they have been hesitating, but they have never been able to make a decision. determination.

In recent years, the submarines produced by the Mingzhou Group have become a hot commodity in the international market. All customers have praised the submarines of the Mingzhou Group. Now, they are probably regretting that they did not purchase suitable submarines in time.

However, they also have their own difficulties.

“Mr. Qin, we are here to see the fighter planes this time.”

"Well, you are just taking a look." Qin Tao said: "If you want to purchase, it will probably take a long time to think about it. Mr. Sang, you must be patient with the customers from the Weeping Country. Their inspection may It will last five to ten years.”

Qin Tao's words were clearly meant to be ridiculing, and Paleo became annoyed: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this? Do you think we have to buy this kind of fighter plane?"

"Of course you don't have to buy it, but if you don't buy our fighter planes, then you can only buy Mao's, Western countries' fighters. You don't even think about it." Qin Tao said: "Da Mao's MiG-29 is the most powerful fighter. Cheap third-generation aircraft, even if they have a bad reputation on the battlefield in recent years, I guess you have no choice but to bite the bullet and buy them. As for the price of their fighters, you can go and ask, anyway, Mikoyan Design Bureau People also came and brought the MiG-29."

Of course they have asked about it before coming here. Although they have no money in their pockets, they are still very dissatisfied with Qin Tao's mocking conversation mode.

Sang Hua is also a little worried. There are not many customers for the Xiaolong fighter, but he can't be disturbed by Mr. Qin. What's wrong with Mr. Qin?

 The person in charge of the Xiaolong fighter was originally Tu Lao, but in the past few years, Tu Lao retired gloriously, and the later design of the Xiaolong fighter was mainly left to Yang Wei, while Sang Hua served as Yang Wei's deputy.

But Yang Wei also had a lot of work to do, so that Yang Wei didn't come at all to this air show, and Mr. Song didn't come either, so Sang Hua had to be in charge of the exhibition here.

The Xiaolong fighter jet was created at Tu Lao’s insistence. However, this fighter jet is now very embarrassing.

The Xiaolong is positioned as a light aircraft to meet the needs of the air forces of third-world countries for third-generation aircraft. These countries do not have much funds and cannot purchase expensive Western fighters. Their Xiaolong relies on high quality and low price to open up the market.

 However, some customers would rather buy second-hand third-generation aircraft from the West than Xiaolong. Their sales work is difficult. They are very discouraged when they see the popularity of Mingzhou Group’s J-31A.

Now, we finally have a customer, but this customer is hesitant and refuses to take action. Does Mr. Qin’s sarcasm have a positive effect or a negative effect?

Just when Sang Hua was worried, Qin Tao continued: "Don't forget, the countries in the West are all in the same trousers as the United Kingdom. You can't buy dozens or hundreds of fighter planes, at most ten. There is a scale of twenty aircraft, so there is no need for those Western countries to offend the United Kingdom for your order. Of course, you can also purchase second-hand fighters, but do you think you can buy the parts after you buy the second-hand fighters? ?”

Manuel and Paleo's faces darkened.

  What Qin Tao said was exactly their current situation.

At that time, although Britain won the Falklands War, it was barely won. The sinking of the Sherfield became a thorn in the British heart.

It is said that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Of course the British are also like this. If there is a next time, can they still go all the way to fight this battle?

 They must reduce the probability of the outbreak of the Second Falklands War, and they must destroy the defense power of the Weeping Country.

 How to destroy it?

 For an army built by buying and selling, as long as they cannot buy advanced weapons and equipment, they will naturally decline.
