Chapter 530 Carver Fighter
In order to make South Africans work closer with him, Lin Johnson even showed Daniel the design drawings of the Golden Eagle trainer aircraft and the conceptual drawings of the Stone Tea Falcon armed helicopter.
South Africa's "Stone Tea Falcon" is somewhat like a combination of Soviet-American styles, because it has obtained many Soviet-made rice 24 female deer helicopters through fighting against South African troops. It may be affected by it. The stone Tea Falcon armed helicopters are just like early Soviet-made helicopters, which are a bit rustic!
Atlas has just started the project of armed helicopters. It can be said that the appearance has not been decided yet. The composition provided by Lin Johnson-Johnson is just a good reference.
Daniel was also shocked when he saw the exquisite trainer such as Golden Eagle. He did not expect that Johnson Lin could provide such a beautiful design. What was presented to Atlas designers was its extraordinary appearance and its smooth shape was very American.
The Golden Eagle trainer has a streamlined appearance that is not inferior to the F16 fighter. Through Lin Johnson's description of it, designers can easily recall that if this trainer is weaponized, it will definitely become a good first-line fighter and can replace their Cheetah fighter.
After Johnson Lin showed him the designs of two aircraft, Daniel hesitated for a moment. After discussing with Monaviv, he took Johnson Lin and Wanli Yang to the fighter jet modification factory in Atlas, visited the Cheetah fighter jet, and then went to a confidential workshop where more than a dozen engineering and technical personnel were assembling and verifying the semi-finished products of a fighter jet.
"This is our sculptor fighter. Two, please do not disclose any situation of our fighter to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be very terrible!" Daniel's tone was extremely serious. He considered that since Lin Johnson wanted to engage in military cooperation with South Africa, he must know that their cooperation could not be easily leaked. Otherwise, there would be trouble in South Africa, and Lin Johnson himself would be in trouble. In this regard, this East Asian should know better than himself, so he simply opened up to him. This was also exchanged for Lin Johnson's frankness.
Lin Johnson nodded to Yang Wanli. Old Yang had long been staring at the semi-finished fighter jet in front of him. He walked forward with some excitement and observed the fighter jet forward and backward, left and right. It was not satisfying to see this just, so he leaned close to the belly of the aircraft and observed it from below.
Yang Wanli nodded to Lin Johnson and gave a thumbs up. South Africans' skills are indeed not bad!
In general, South Africa's fighter plan was derived from the French Phantom series. It is inevitable that it will bring some shadows of French fighters, with large triangular wings close to the air intakes on both sides of the fuselage. In particular, the single-tail wing of this fighter has many characteristics of French fighters, like a high cocktail!
At first, Lin Johnson also felt that the third-generation fighter of South Africans might look a bit like the brilliance of the Indian San, but after seeing the real thing, Lin Johnson felt that it was actually more like a French gust that had lost weight.
After glanced at the engineering and technical personnel on the scene, he wanted to see if there were any French people here. Lin Johnson now affirmed that the French helped South Africa and participated in the research and development plan for the third-generation fighter jet.
The French must have had some purpose. The cunning France was either to share the risks of gusts or to find a new home for their future fighter jet sales. Perhaps they wanted to cultivate a French fighter jet system in South Africa so that South Africans would rely more on French equipment.
Fortunately, maybe Daniel did the confidentiality work in advance. Among the people present were engineers and technicians from South Africa. They looked at Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli strangely and were all busy with their own things, and there were no strange people who had been staring at them all the time.
With acquiescence, Yang Wanli boarded the cockpit of the fighter and looked at the avionics system of the fighter. Of course, what Lao Yang wanted to know more was whether the fighter used a digital freight active control system, commonly known as flight control.
Now the United States, Europe and other countries have adopted three-axis, four-degree digital telex active control system. This four-degree telex control technology began to be developed in Western countries in the 1960s and 1970s, and has matured in the 1980s and has been applied to their third-generation and fourth-generation fighter jets.
The so-called three-axis refers to the longitudinal axis, horizontal roll axis and yaw axis, and the four-degree refers to three digital channels and one alternate simulation channel.
To put it simply, the 'three-axis and four-degree-degree' is a computer-controlled aircraft, no longer using old-fashioned mechanical joysticks, but a purely digital tele-speed control system. It not only enhances the control performance of the aircraft, but also reduces the volume and weight. It is an important research direction for lightweight fuselage.
The Su27sk fighter imported from China uses an analog fax control system. The disadvantage of analog fax is that it needs to be digitally proportioned before it can be entered into the computer for data processing, which leads to a low degree of automation and intelligence.
The same is true for digital telex. The outgoing signal is an accurate digital signal. Under the action of a digital microcomputer receiver, the transmission device can be directly directed to the precise action of the transmission device, and the feedback signal can also be directly processed by the program, which has the advantages of high automation and easy to achieve intelligent control.
Both the J-11 and J-11b use simulated fly-by-wire control systems that imitate the Su-27sk. Starting from the J-11bs, the control system adopts a domestic three-axis and four-degree fly-by-wire control system, which has good flight performance and maneuverability.
J-2o, J-2 has been improving its telex operating system, and China's advanced fighter jets are moving towards fully digital telex control systems!
It should be noted that China's research on flight control technology lags behind that of the United States and Europe. The research time is very short, but the achievements have been made!
We only started to open the three-axis and four-degree digital fly-by-wire/active control system in 1991. The J-8 IIAT verification aircraft using this technology flew on December 29, 1996.
The flight control and activation of the J-8 IIIAT verification aircraft marks that my country has mastered the key technologies for the manufacturing of the third-generation fighter jet, and provides a necessary foundation for the research of the J-1o's comprehensive control technology.
Americans are very cautious about the Chinese. They are not allowed to be obtained by avionics or related equipment, and even equipment cannot be reached in China!
The above are all history, but now this advanced technology is right in front of Lin Johnson. Through cooperation with South Africa, he can obtain this technology, which is expected to allow Chinese fighter jets to be equipped with such advanced system equipment earlier!
This made Lin Johnson very excited. If he were the only one present now, he would have jumped up and sang the national anthem loudly!
In addition, South African sculptor fighter jets have initially used wing body fusion technology. Lin Johnson saw that this aircraft has traces of technology. Perhaps Atlas has not fully mastered this high technology.
The wing body fusion technology is now only owned by Japanese and Americans, and Americans are still blackmailed from Japanese. South Africans may have the technology and craft equipment obtained from Israel. It can be seen that the Israelis are also despicable guys who like to make small moves, and he likes it!
Lin Johnson wanted to obtain these technologies very much. He secretly made up his mind to try his best to speak in cooperation with South Africans. It is worth it for these advanced technologies! (To be continued.)
