A forward-swept wing fighter with five vertex corners that resemble a diamond pentagon began to take shape bit by bit on the big computer screen.
"Is this a fighter jet you built yourself?"
Captain Jiang, who was accompanying Lin Mo, looked in disbelief. Forward swept wings?!
His eyes almost popped out of his head.
As a senior pilot, Captain Jiang naturally understood what type of fighter jet he saw with his own eyes.
I originally thought it was a similar type of fighter to the "Stick (the nickname of the J-10)", at most similar to the F-22. I had to consider whether it could be built, but I never expected it to have such a peculiar shape.
What kind of technology is needed?
The Russians worked on the Su-47 "Golden Eagle", but only two prototypes were produced and they were only used for show.
The Germans did it, Ju 287, but it was later captured by the Soviet army and never heard of again.
The Americans have built the X-29A, and Grumman has only used it as an experimental aircraft for technical demonstration. It can achieve excellent roll maneuverability without any additional airfoil and thrust vector technology. However, as
Lockheed rose and disappeared.
There is also a little-known SFW/F-16, which was eventually eliminated because the material could not solve the problem of structural divergence. Otherwise, today's third-generation main fighter F-16 "Fighting Falcon" in the United States would all have a negative 25-degree angle.
External characteristics of forward swept wings.
China also has forward-swept wing experimental aircraft. The XP-1 "Research and Development Type 1" fighter jet before liberation was suspended due to a test flight crash in 1945. Research and development continued after liberation. The "Dark Sword" single-engine UAV originally used the forward-swept wing.
Swept wing design, but later adopted swept wing when finalizing.
However, the research and development of forward-swept wings in various countries has not stopped. China has restarted the development of experimental manned forward-swept wing fighters, such as the Defense Star's X-1, as a fourth-generation fighter design. There are other undecided plans.
The first model is still under development in secret.
If the technology matures, the Defense Star is likely to compete with fighter jets such as the J-14, J-18, J-20 and J-31 for orders from China's next or next two generations of main fighter jets.
The outstanding performance of forward-swept wings is well known, but until now no country has really dared to take the risk of applying forward-swept wing technology to its main fighter jets.
The United States, which has a technological advantage, can't afford to gamble. Russia, a big and powerful country, has no confidence. China's technology and materials are not mature enough. The United Kingdom can only use it to build drones. France and other countries can only look at it and even build experimental machines.
There is no technical accumulation.
Rather than saying that technology is an obstacle to forward-swept wings, it is better to say that materials and structures are the real obstacles to forward-swept wing technology. Structural divergence and stealth issues have plagued the development of forward-swept wings.
But for Lin Mo, who owns a metal dragon, all the problems caused by materials and structures no longer exist. Even the defense and space ministry must rely on Lin Mo's alloy formula library to solve many problems caused by materials.
technical problem.
Many special technologies are actually the product of compromise due to substandard materials. If the materials are qualified, there is no need to painstakingly study the technology, and the cost will be reduced by ten. The cost will also be reduced a lot.
Seeing Captain Jiang's increasingly skeptical expression, Lin Mo shrugged and nodded: "Yes, this is the fighter jet I designed and assembled myself. It is a finished product that has been combined with experts from many domestic aviation design institutes to provide technical sharing.
.Since multiple companies have joined forces, the drawings of this fighter jet are shared publicly, so Chen Haiqing’s National Defense Star has an experimental prototype, and other domestic factories also have similar experimental aircraft.”
"Don't lie to me. Your engine data is wrong. Is there such a powerful engine in China? And this fire control system and radar system. When will domestic manufacturers have the technology to produce these equipment? Americans are just like this.
"
The experienced Captain Jiang looked at the data reported by Lin Mo to the computer experts. He was very familiar with various fighter jets in the world, and even knew every parameter. He noticed something abnormal on the spot. The engine parameters alone were even domestically produced.
The WS-15X is also inferior. It is really puzzling when the China Gas Turbine Research Institute came up with such good technology.
The statistics of this fighter jet are so astonishing. Even the J-20 is far behind. Lin Mo actually said that he built it himself. Then aren’t those domestic design institutes just eating for nothing? The country has invested so much in vain.
Have R&D funds gone in?!
"It's true, it's more real than real gold. Your suspicion is very reasonable. Some of the equipment is indeed not produced in China. Well, some of it is sponsored by Americans."
Lin Mo chuckled. He was not as honest as the domestic aerospace design institute. In order to get these accessories, he used all kinds of tricks to cheat and steal. Only the old American and the desperate Locke
Only Sid Martin Company understood Lin Mo's methods.
Most of the parameters reported by Lin Mo are real data verified in practice, and also include experimental data from the "Dark Night" Computer Center and large domestic wind tunnels (most wind tunnel experiments only require models, not entities).
Subject to the limitations of actual equipment and technical level in reality, although the performance of the "monster" built by Lin Mo in conjunction with the technology and equipment of China, Russia and the United States is amazing, the theoretical value is much different than the design theoretical value on the original drawing. For example, the original design
It is worth 5 times the speed of sound. With the F119-PW-100 vector propulsion engine stolen from the United States, it is simply an impossible task. Maybe it is enough to grab the F/A-XX engine, but now even
Boeing doesn’t even know where its F/A-XX is.
Therefore, the "Monster" still has a lot of room for technological improvement in terms of engine, radar, endurance and other capabilities.
Even so, Lin Mo's "Monster" fighter has directly entered the ranks of the world's top fighters.
"Sponsored by Americans? Are they crazy? Let's try it first and then talk about it!"
Captain Jiang was still dubious. Without seeing the real thing, it was not easy to convince the colonel in such a short period of time.
Although the Americans are not crazy, they are not far behind.
Lin Mo did not truthfully tell Captain Jiang that the engine parameters were actually the F119-PW-100 vector propulsion engine parameters of the F-22 Raptor, one of the current main fighter jets in the United States.
otherwise......
Bullying a messy Captain Chiang is not considered a hero.
"It will take another two hours to complete all the modeling. According to your requirements, we will also conduct mathematical model calculations in terms of aerodynamic force and defense power. After two hours, you can call the aircraft model on the simulator. Please
Define model name."
A computer expert who had completed the parameter settings told Lin Mo that although the data looked very real, he, like Captain Jiang, had a dubious attitude, and it didn't matter whether he believed it or not.
"The model is to be X-8, and the name is 'Monster'!"
On the 8th, the "Monster" should be regarded as the eighth aircraft in the hangar of the air crew, but it has never been completed.
Of course the clay model does not count.
In fact, the current appearance of the "Monster" has slightly changed from the original appearance design after Lin Mo had the gold-type dragon secretly intercept many fighter jet designs.
With the computing resources of a large server, Lin Mo and Captain Jiang had a taste of the "Monster" simulated fighter jet as scheduled two hours later.
It's the same aircraft, but the two people have different tastes.
The moment the J-20's landing gear leaves the ground means the battle has begun.
Captain Jiang chose the J-20 to fight against Lin Mo's "Monster". Apparently Captain Jiang regarded the "Monster" as a model with similar combat effectiveness to the F-22 "Raptor".
As a pilot who represented Chengdu Aircraft in the "Abyss Nirvana", he was naturally more familiar with Chengdu Aircraft's design style (from the beginning, from the J-5 to the J-8, almost all were models developed and produced under the leadership of Shenyang Aircraft. Since the J-10, Chengdu Aircraft has
Feicai started to share the world with Shenfei). Although he had no experience flying the J-20 in the past, with his rich flight experience and simulated combat in the past few days, he has become very skilled in controlling this new jet that has not yet been installed.
stealth fighter.
Although he has never fought against a forward-swept wing fighter like the Su-47 "Golden Eagle", Captain Jiang is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of forward-swept wing aircraft, so he is not careless at all.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Through the simulator confrontation in the past few days, Captain Jiang knows that if Lin Mo's aerial combat skills are hidden, he will probably lose very ugly.
He has put Lin Mo to the same level as himself.
"Beep, beep!"
The radar seemed to have malfunctioned and was unable to send out intermittent signals.
This is already the result of Captain Jiang turning on the radar power to the maximum, but the signal fed back is very weak.
Domestic active phased array radar is still a little weak.
I don't know how Lin Mo solved the "Monster's" stealth technical problem, which means that this forward-swept wing fighter is even more terrifying.
If I hadn't followed Lin Mo in the design and modeling process and knew all the parameters of this aircraft, I might have suffered a sap in this battle.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded that threatened the warning system. Captain Jiang was startled, and two light spots appeared on the radar screen.
It was a missile, but he saw three contrails in the distance approaching him at an alarmingly high speed, and the sound hadn't even arrived yet.
If there were clouds nearby, then I might not even know how I was fucked down now.
The strange thing is, how come there are three contrails, two are missiles, and the other is...
No, no, absolutely not. Although he was robbed of the opportunity, Captain Jiang was not discouraged in the slightest. The canard layout gave the J-20 an extremely excellent aerodynamic layout, which was very suitable for supersonic air combat. The J-20 body was very flexible and flexible.
Following his operations, he quickly adjusted the attack envelope.
The weapons bay opens.
