The figure of 1,300 kilometers is not high. It is compared with the third-generation aircraft of this era. Those aircraft can fly two to three thousand kilometers without any problem after attaching auxiliary fuel tanks. However, if compared with the second-generation aircraft,
That’s a lot of data.
Take the most common J-7 fighter, for example, its 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 are no special needs, who would choose a vertical take-off and landing fighter? Isn’t the conventional version better?
The data introduced by Qin Tao are all reasonable and well-founded, and the experts all nodded in recognition of these.
At this time, the roar on the runway sounded again, and two MiG-29s took off. So, most of the crowd watching here dispersed and went over there to enjoy the performance of the MiG-29s. This kind of
The flight display of the third-generation aircraft is very spectacular, and it is dizzying to watch.
Qin Tao patted Zhao Dangsheng on the shoulder, looked at the test pilot, and said with a smile: "You have all worked hard."
"Flying this kind of aircraft gives me a strange feeling." 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 the J-31A. This kind of vertical
The take-off and landing version is also inseparable from his test flights.
"What does it feel like?"
"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, they have many limitations. The method of pulling onions on dry land directly resists the gravity of the earth. In the past, it was really
Haven't tried it yet.
At this time, after hearing Lei Qiang's words, Qin Tao smiled: "Our engine is still not powerful. When we have an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10 or even higher in the future, you will be able to realize this even more."
"Excuse me, are you selling this technology?" Just when several people were talking happily, a voice sounded.
Schnoder did not 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 Schnoder: "Of course we will sell it. We are in business. However, we will not sell technology. We only sell finished machines. If you want to buy it, you can invest in advance."
Schnaud was a little happy to hear Qin Tao say selling, but when Qin Tao said this, Schnaud's expression immediately changed.
McDonnell Douglas originally manufactured aircraft, so how could they directly purchase the complete aircraft? They just wanted to purchase 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 sell technology directly. This kind of technology cannot be sold for any amount of money. Once sold, the Americans will be able to master the relevant technology and develop fighter jets.
We are already at the forefront of the world in this regard, so how can we support our competitors?
"So, if we want to purchase this aircraft, can you sell it?" Schnoder pointed at the J-31A, which had just completed a vertical takeoff 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 machines, and we have to follow the orders. The current orders have been scheduled for ten years. If you want to order,
It has to be done 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!
There was regret on Schnoder's face. It seemed that all the plans he proposed would not be possible. Now, he could only continue to look at the plane with envy. There was no other way.
"Are you from McDonnell Douglas?" Qin Tao asked.
Now it was Schnoder's turn to be surprised: "How did you tell?"
"The only ones who are interested in our technology and want to buy it are Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Boeing uses the Sea Harrier solution and is not interested in our lift fan technology, so you are the only one interested in it."
This analysis made Schnoder's face turn red. Mr. Qin's analysis was absolutely fine. However, as a well-known military aircraft developer, he always felt a little embarrassed to come to Mingzhou Group to purchase technology.
.
To be honest, I have been using the Anyan app recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Anyan app is available for Android and Apple.】
At this time, Qin Tao had continued to speak.
"Your insistence on taking the road of lift engines is actually correct. After all, Lao Maozi has been working on this technology. If it were not for the collapse of the Red Empire, the Yak-141 fighter jet would have succeeded. Our vertical take-off
There are still many problems with lowering fighter jets. Lift engines will greatly simplify the problems. The United States also has advanced engine technology and can use better lift engines to solve the problems."
Mr. Qin was approachable and said these words very professionally, so Schnoder couldn't help but listen. He seemed to have forgotten that the two sides were originally supposed to be in a competitive relationship.
"The biggest problem with the lift engine is the erosion of the deck. This is because the Yak 141 uses a turbojet engine, and there are two of them. You can definitely use a turbofan engine, especially if you need to increase the outer duct. This way
It can greatly reduce the problem of deck ablation.”
Schnoder's eyes lit up, yes, this is a solution to the problem!
Lao Maozi's engine technology is not as good as that of the United States, and because of its low reliability, it has to plug in two lift engines. If one of them stalls, the other one can increase the power in an emergency to avoid falling down suddenly.
But the engine technology in the United States is advanced! The failure rate is quite low, so it can be completely replaced by an engine, or a turbofan, with a larger outer duct, which can greatly reduce the impact of the tail flame.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Schnoder nodded: "Mr. Qin, your plan is very feasible. By the way, why are you telling me this?"
Even if Schnoder didn't react at first, it should be clear now. How could Mr. Qin help them for no reason?
"Because your McDonnell Douglas company and we are good friends." Qin Tao said with a smile: "There are so many passenger aircraft manufacturers in the world, but your McDonnell Douglas company is the only one to jointly develop aircraft with our domestic joint venture to enhance our domestic civil aviation industry."
Of course, these words were not what Qin Tao said from his heart, but they made Schnoder's heart very warm. Mr. Qin was right. Our McDonnell Douglas company has the best relationship with Dongfang. We are still at Huating.
Cooperate to produce McDonnell Douglas aircraft!
"Our performance today was very successful! This represents another big step forward for our J-31A fighter. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank you all for your hard work!"
In the private room of the hotel, Qin Tao raised his wine glass and said to the people present.
In addition to the J-31A R&D team, there were also people attending this banquet, including Vitalia and others. Anyway, Vitalia is Qin Tao’s closest friend. This kind of international cooperation is not a secret in the first place.
Of course, Vitalia can also participate in the fighter jet project.
"Yes, we have taken another firm step. Although many aircraft appeared at this air show, our aircraft is undoubtedly the most outstanding." Zhao Dangsheng said: "We will continue to work hard to make our aircraft more outstanding."
The J-31A fighter jet will complete all test flight subjects as soon as possible!"
After a glass of wine, everyone was very excited and continued to chat lively.
"It is said that McDonnell Douglas encountered many difficulties during the research and development process..."
"That's right, I don't know who the project will ultimately end up with."
"It goes without saying that it must be Boeing." Qin Tao was very sure: "If nothing else happens, the old joint attack aircraft in the United States should be the Flying Toad."
"Mr. Qin, why are you so unfavorable to McDonnell Douglas?"
"Because McDonnell Douglas is about to encounter a crisis, and 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, shocking countless people. Boeing became the dominant player in passenger aircraft. Of course, Europe's Airbus can also compete with Boeing.
"Our domestic large passenger aircraft project is still in a mess. If we can acquire McDonnell Douglas, we will have large passenger aircraft in China." Zhao Dangsheng couldn't help but say.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, if we can acquire McDonnell Douglas, of course we will do it without hesitation, but a company of this level is not something we can touch. By then, the most we can do is to cheat on some aircraft designs."
The teacher is just here."
McDonnell Douglas's large passenger aircraft project is indeed of great benefit to the country, but Qin Tao also knows in his heart that a company of this level is not within his reach. If he takes action rashly, he will definitely be defeated in the end.
"What if our green company acquires it?" Vitalia asked.
Qin Tao shook his head: "You should just develop the gaming industry honestly. This passenger aircraft industry is in deep water, and it will only be possible if the country ends."
Vitalia nodded.
"Dongfang's air show is not interesting. Most of them are J-7 and J-8 fighters. These old-fashioned aircraft are still showing off, which shows that Dongfang's technology is still stuck thirty years ago." At this moment, a message suddenly came from next door.
A voice came.
The sound was loud and accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter. Suddenly, the expressions of everyone here changed.
Isn't this too shameless?
"In terms of aviation technology, there is a huge gap between Dongfang and yours. Your D fighter is a modern third-generation aircraft. When this air show is over, I will write a special article to compare fighter aircraft.
gap."
D fighter?
When hearing this sentence, everyone immediately understood.
This air show attracted a large number of people, including those from the opposite side. For those people, it was a rare opportunity to spy on the mainland's military aircraft research and development level, so they sent a lot of reporters.
Today's visit was over, and these reporters gathered together to have dinner, and talked about these things, paralyzing themselves with a kind of Ah Q's spirit.
"Mr. Pingkov, you are absolutely right. How can those J-7s and J-8s be the opponents of our D fighters?" Another person spoke.
Pingkov!
This guy is not completely infamous yet, yet he actually dares to come to the east to join in the fun? Qin Tao couldn't help it: "Zhengyang, do you know what the abbreviation of d is?"
Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Qin, do you know?"
In fact, Xu Zhengyang is clear. The d is the abbreviation of English dgeer, which translates to self-produced defense fighter. This was a weapons development project launched in the 1980s. Since it can obtain a large amount of technical foreign aid, this aircraft
The overall design of the aircraft is relatively advanced.
The shape of the aircraft is beautiful. The large side strips extend directly backward and merge with the wings. It looks a bit like the 16. The air inlets on both sides under the wings are similar to the 18.
The large bubble-type cockpit has a cockpit layout of one level and three bottoms, and the operating levers are placed on the side. The overall level can be considered to have reached the first-class level in the 1980s.
However, due to the lack of an engine, it uses afterburning engines used by two training aircraft, which greatly limits the performance of the aircraft. However, the overall performance is still advanced enough.
In 1994, the aircraft officially began to be finalized and then entered the low-speed production stage.
Zhao Dangsheng and others all looked at Qin Tao with some curiosity, listening to Qin Tao shouting at the top of his voice: "dn'tly!"
In an instant, everyone started laughing. Of course everyone knew that Mr. Qin was teasing each other.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Vitalia also laughed. Although she did not understand airplanes, it was obvious that Mr. Qin was laughing at the people next door.
Snapped!
Someone next door slammed the table.
"Bang, bang!" He actually dared to knock on the door!
Qin Tao gestured to Xu Zhengyang: "Zhengyang, open the door."
"Hey, what were you talking about just now?" Pingkov looked angry, standing at the front of these people, with his hands on his hips, pointing at the people inside.
"Chinese?" Qin Tao rolled his eyes at him.
This guy, with a yellow appearance, spoke fluently. When he heard Qin Tao's words, he immediately shook his head: "No, I am a Maple Leaf citizen now! I heard you making fun of the D fighter. What qualifications do you have..."
When he said this, he suddenly realized, no! He was very familiar with the people here. The elegant man sitting there seemed to be President Qin of the Mingzhou Group? The foreign woman next to him seemed to be...
The famous God of Gamblers?
There are other people present who seem to be from the J-31A team?
"It turns out he is a traitor and a traitor." Qin Tao's words did not save any face: "You are not qualified to talk to me, get out."
At this moment, Ping Kefu's face turned red: "Mr. Qin, you are insulting me. I am a famous media reporter. When you say this to me, you are despising all media people!"
"Why, I made a mistake?" Qin Tao said: "You are an out-and-out Chinese, but you took a foreigner's name. You forget your ancestors so much. Does your father know? When you die, you can go to the ancestral graves in your hometown.
What? Moreover, you have been slandering China. If you are not a traitor and a lackey, what are you? If only a few decades ago, you could still stand in front of me and speak? Believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot?"
"Everyone has the right to choose their own life!"
"Yes, everyone can choose their own life, but they must not forget their roots!" Qin Tao was aggressive: "If you want to live a better life for yourself, you will sell your motherland and kneel to foreign countries.
People forget their own blood, and such people are purely selfish!"
Pingkov's face began to turn purple and his fists were clenched tightly, but for the first time, he felt that he was at a loss for words.
Those traitors will always find a lofty excuse for themselves, such as saving the country through curves, etc. However, no matter how they numb themselves, it is always fake. Now even if they are scolded as a bastard, Ping Kefu will never find it.
There are other words to say.
"Everyone, you just said bad things about the D-Fighter. Do you know anything about this kind of aircraft?" Behind Pinkov, a reporter from the opposite side spoke.
Qin Tao smiled. This man was smart enough. He knew that he could not continue discussing the traitor's topic with Qin Tao, so he simply changed the subject.
"This is 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 we simply classify the aircraft, we can divide the aircraft into three major parts: airframe, avionics, and engine. There is some debate as to which of the three is the most important.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think?" The other party simply asked back.
"Of course it's the engine. There is a saying in the United States that as long as the engine is powerful, bricks can fly into the sky. With the shape of the 117, can't it still rely on the engine to fly into the sky?" Qin Tao began to introduce: "But the engine test
It is the industrial foundation of a country. There are few countries in the world that can develop their own engines. The biggest problem with the D fighter is the engine!"
It’s really hard to spray other things. After all, the D’s avionics are at level 16, and the radar is also at level 20. The airframe is also remarkable, but the engine is definitely not powerful.
An excellent fighter jet actually uses the engine of a trainer aircraft!
"Its afterburner thrust is only four tons, and the two engines only have eight tons of thrust, which is not enough for the turbofan 10 we are currently developing! It is even more incomparable with our turbofan 15. This kind of aircraft can be used as a trainer.
The aircraft is pretty much the same, and it’s really not qualified to be a fighter jet.”
This is just like talking about fuel consumption regardless of road conditions, which is a hooligan. Talking about engine thrust regardless of the weight of the aircraft is actually a hooligan.
Although the engine of d is not powerful, it is also light in weight. The normal take-off weight is about seven or eight tons. With an engine of eight tons of thrust, it is enough. However, if you say it, people will criticize: Your engine
Not powerful!
It's like Mercedes-Benz has a 13t engine with 163 horsepower, which is comparable to many 15t engines, and even better than the 20-liter self-priming engine that many people talk about. But there is nothing you can do about it. If you have a small displacement, you will be criticized.
"By the way, the training aircraft we are exhibiting is the one from the 320 Factory. It seems to use an engine with greater thrust than the D, right?"
The 320 Factory is also working on a training aircraft. Qin Tao also provided help and cooperated with the Yakovlev Design Bureau to improve on the basis of the Yak 130. The biggest improvement is the rear fuselage.
The model was revised and an engine with afterburner was used. The performance of this engine is stronger than that of D.
"Of course, our domestic fighter planes don't have that kind of engine." Zhao Dangsheng said: "Our fighter plane uses a turbofan 15, with a thrust of 15 tons, which is not comparable to their small aircraft.
.”
It should be no problem to bully the J-7 and J-8, but if you want to compare it with the J-31A, it will be completely dwarfed. The J-31A is an out-and-out fourth-generation stealth machine.
These people finally stopped talking.
"When friends come, there will be wine and meat. When enemies come, there will be shotguns. If you are willing to make friends, you can come in and eat together." Qin Tao looked at the crowd and said, "However, we do not welcome those who forget their ancestors."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Pingkov left angrily, and several other people did not come in to drink together, they all left with Pingkov, just like that, here
Peace returned to the private room 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 to do it,
, I can help.”
Qin Tao smiled: "Weina, you can't do anything. This is the Zhuhai Air Show after all, and nothing should happen during this period."
Vitalia nodded: "Okay, forget it then."
"It would be great if he went to Ma Gang to play a few games," Qin Tao said.
Vitalia smiled knowingly, no need to go into details, everything was arranged!
The night passed slowly with the breeze blowing. And the story about dn’tly spread quickly.
On the second day, many people at the air show started talking about it.
"Have you heard of it? Yesterday, a group of people went to Mr. Qin to argue, but they were scolded by Mr. Qin."
"Yeah, especially the explanation of D, it's really a classic!"
"However, that kind of aircraft is really useless, especially the engine, which actually uses the engine of a training aircraft!"
"Originally, it was a substitute that could not be purchased outsourced. Now with the Mirage 2000 and 16, this type of machine already exists as a low-end machine."
"Hey, why is one of the two planes missing from the Mingzhou Group's booth?"
"Yes, where did the other one go?"
"Over the runway, this aircraft from Mingzhou Group is going to perform a flight show. It's amazing!"
Yesterday, the vertical take-off and landing model just performed a vertical take-off and landing flight demonstration on the tarmac, and now, this carrier-based model is finally going to perform a normal flight demonstration!
Everyone got excited.
Although I have long heard that the J-31A has begun intensive test flights, it is difficult for ordinary people to see its true appearance. I am really lucky today!
What d, it can’t be compared with this kind of stealth machine! Dongfang’s strength is really too strong
