Mr. Lin and Qin Tao walked on the road to the design institute together.
"Mr. Lin, then you can follow them from now on. I want to say goodbye."
"Well, I'm very excited now." Mr. Lin said: "Many excellent test pilots will become aircraft engineers after ending their flying careers. I have been in the Air Force for half my life. Now that I am retired, I can still participate in the research of strategic bombers.
Very satisfied.”
"Then I wish you good luck in your work."
"Taozi, you seem to have forgotten something?" Mr. Lin said with a smile.
Forgot something?
Qin Tao really can't remember it.
"The air show is about to start. What haven't you prepared in advance?" Mr. Lin said, "Don't you always like to fool foreigners?"
Clicking on the wrong technology tree is very scary. It will cause the delay of the project at the least, and the end of the entire project at the worst. Qin Tao is absolutely unique in deceiving others into taking the wrong path.
Take the vertical take-off and landing fighter as an example. Deceiving others into using a hydraulic torque converter delayed the X-35 project for at least two or three years.
Now, with this new aircraft carrier, he should come up with some more deceptive things!
"That's right. Although we have decided to develop a stealth bomber, this project must not be announced to the outside world. Then we have to have other plans." Qin Tao said: "Let's just put another big satellite."
Mr. Lin looked at Qin Tao with expectant eyes: "Say!"
"I think the aerial fighter plane is called the Baidi."
Now that the fourth-generation aircraft is available, the fifth-generation aircraft should also be pre-researched. What should the Mingzhou Group’s fifth-generation aircraft look like?
Of course it is an aerospace plane!
"White Emperor aerospace plane?" Mr. Lin thought about it for a moment: "Yes, the name sounds domineering enough. Can you tell me more specifically?"
"We have to get a prototype machine out, let Zhao Dangsheng come with us and have a listen." Qin Tao said.
After the stealth aircraft is built, the next generation of fighters will inevitably be taller aerospace aircraft. This is also an inevitable result of technological development.
However, it is not easy to build an aerospace plane. First of all, it is limited by one engine.
An aerospace plane sounds easy to understand. It can take off and land like an ordinary fighter plane, and then when necessary, it can fly directly to outer space, becoming a weapon with dual roles of aviation and aerospace.
So what engine does it use?
The engine used by the rocket has its own oxidizer and can fly in outer space, but the built-in oxidizer is too bulky after all. It is necessary outside the atmosphere. Inside the atmosphere, it has to use atmospheric oxygen.
There are also engines that use oxygen. Both turbojet and turbofan use oxygen, but these engines can only be used at low speeds. Once the speed exceeds Mach 3, the compressors and other components in these engines will have a counterproductive effect. The high speed ahead
The flying airflow will decelerate when it collides with the blades, and may even damage the compressor.
At this time, a ramjet engine is needed, without a compressor and directly equipped with a combustion chamber.
In other words, a key to the aerospace aircraft is the variable cycle engine.
Zhao Dangsheng was confused when he heard it. After listening to it, he finally confirmed: "Mr. Qin, I think this is science fiction."
"Yes, this is science fiction." Qin Tao said: "A hundred years ago, if humans could go to outer space, it was definitely science fiction. Now, hasn't it been realized? Today's science fiction, in the future, it will be perfect
reality, now, we must first dare to think, if we don’t even dare to think, how can we realize it in the future?”
Zhao Dangsheng nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, you will draw the renderings, and we will turn the renderings into models."
"Well, a one-to-one model." Qin Tao said.
If it is just a small-sized model, then just 3D print it directly. There is no need for Zhao Dangsheng and others. Only a one-to-one model can attract attention at an air show.
Mr. Lin was in high spirits on the sidelines. Of course he knew that what Qin Tao said was mainly for deception. This project sounded high-end, but it was also very expensive!
In terms of joint fighter jets, we are already ahead, and the Americans will definitely be unconvinced. Next, how can the Americans be willing to lag behind in the new generation of aerospace aircraft? They have to invest large sums of money in developing advanced fighters, and they must not let this happen.
Easterners take the lead!
In this way, will the United States be dragged down like Lao Maozi? It is really full of expectations.
In the next period of time, some people will be busy.
In fact, the Baidi Space Plane is only a part of the entire Nantianmen Plan. If the entire Nantianmen Plan is revealed, it will definitely shock the whole world, but at the same time, it will also make the voice of the Eastern Threat Theory ring out all over the world.
Qin Tao decided not to provoke the West too much, so as not to embarrass himself.
Time flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the air show is coming.
"It's a pity that there is no sailing exhibition." Qin Tao and Zhao Ling beside him said: "That is the home stadium of our Mingzhou Group."
In military industry exhibitions, they are usually air shows or defense exhibitions. The former mainly displays aircraft, while the latter can display various equipment. However, land weapons can be driven around, but naval weapons cannot. At most, they only display certain components, or
It's a display model. I want to fully display the navy's equipment, but the space isn't big enough.
"Of course there is no maritime exhibition. Moreover, the Navy and its superiors have applied many times to hold a maritime parade, but their superiors have repeatedly pushed it back. It is estimated that it will not be until next year," Zhao Ling said.
"Why? Don't you dare to show your sword?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "Our equipment is right there, others can see it long ago."
"It's one thing to see it, but it's another thing to show it directly." Zhao Ling said, "We still have to be more cautious so as not to be feared by others."
Qin Tao smiled and did not comment on this method. This was not his responsibility.
"Lao Maozi is out in force this time, two aerobatic teams are here." Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the planes at the airport.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lao Maozi has two aerobatic demonstration teams, one is the Warrior aerobatic team that uses heavy Su-27 fighters, and the other is the Swifts that use medium-sized MiG-29s
The aerobatic demonstration team, regardless of the previous history of the two demonstration teams, in short, was officially established in 1991. Their mission is to sell fighter jets to the world. I am short of money.
Now, these two aerobatics teams have arrived, and they are here to cheer for Dongfang. However, they are probably going to spend money again. It is no longer possible for Dongfang to purchase these fighter planes. Dongfang's own fighter planes are already very powerful.
"Yes, our air show is getting more and more prestigious, and many surrounding countries will come. Although they don't expect to sell aircraft to us, they can sell them to the countries around us." Zhao Ling said: "For them,
, the influence of going to Europe to participate in air shows is not as great as being here."
"You know a lot." Qin Tao looked at his wife.
"Since I became the secretary of Mingzhou Group, although I am not very proficient in my profession, my interests have become wider." Zhao Ling said, "This is all due to your influence."
Qin Tao smiled: "Then you shouldn't have led the research and development of the Hongqi-16 in the first place. You could have just been my secretary. I guess I could have retired a few years ago."
"Retire? Are you going to retire without waiting for the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be built?" Zhao Ling also smiled: "How about you retire now and I will be the CEO of the group?"
Qin Tao is really reluctant to retire now, otherwise he will be bored to death. If a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is built, he can really retire by then.
Tomorrow is the air show, so many people have arrived in Zhuhai one after another. The place has become lively because of the aviation and aerospace expo.
"Our Rolls-Royce company has brought civilian engines." In the hotel, Stanley said: "We also have our own booth, so tomorrow, we will appear there as exhibitors, so that we can better hide our
identity."
They originally did not plan to participate in the Eastern Air Show, but considering the huge benefits, Rolls-Royce came over anyway.
After all, the East does not yet have a self-developed passenger aircraft. Their increasingly prosperous civil aviation market requires a large number of Western passenger aircraft, and half of these passenger aircraft are equipped with Rolls-Royce engines.
Therefore, Rolls-Royce sent its civilian engines to participate in the exhibition, and it was somewhat of a compliment to the Zhuhai Air Show. After all, there was a lot of profit in it.
Daniel nodded: "Yes, our identity will not arouse suspicion. Will the Oriental vertical takeoff and landing fighter participate in this exhibition?"
"Yes, our personnel who were deployed in advance have observed that fighter aircraft approaching. The aircraft only had the canopy covered, but other parts were exposed. We clearly saw the structure of the lift fan, so the aircraft
It must be a vertical take-off and landing model. Our reconnaissance satellites have also noticed that vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are conducting intensive test flights, so they must be performing flight performances."
"Okay, then let's keep our eyes open and see how this Dongfang aircraft does it." Daniel said.
Plagiarizing Dongfang's technology? Daniel doesn't care. What matters to them now is time. If they can't improve the progress, they will easily be suppressed by X-32. They don't want their project to be rejected. That way
It was a huge blow to them.
"However, we also noticed that there is another aircraft next to this aircraft, which is very unique."
"What's so unique about it?"
"Up to now, the aircraft is still covered with tarpaulin, so that we cannot see its true appearance. We can only see the size. The aircraft is obviously more than one size larger than the J-31A."
Much bigger?
So what is this plane used for?
Daniel also became curious: "Could it be their twin-engine heavy-duty stealth aircraft?"
This is all they can think of. Currently, the most powerful fighter jets in the East belong to a private company. This company is independent on the surface, but in fact it is inextricably linked to the Mingzhou Group, which was supported by the Mingzhou Group.
.
They began to pursue international cooperation and developed a joint fighter jet. Now that the project has been considered a success, there must be new projects.
What is this new project? With a little thought, you can figure out that it should be a twin-engine heavy-duty stealth fighter. This kind of fighter will not be exported, but is only for personal use and provided to their domestic air force.
"If so, then this kind of aircraft is very similar to our F-22. The Easterners are obviously plagiarizing our aircraft!" A technician cursed.
The J-31A of the Orientals looks like a smaller version of the F-22. Now they are building a twin-engine heavy-duty stealth aircraft, which is an imitation of the F-22. The Orientals are really shameless.
And when Lockheed was bidding for it, it was rejected because it looked similar to the J-31A. This is really ironic.
"We will find out tomorrow. If it is the same as our F-22, then we will launch a media campaign!"
There is nothing secret about an aircraft that has been publicly displayed. A brand-new fighter aircraft will be more attractive if it is covered with a tarpaulin.
This Eastern fighter jet attracted the attention of many people the day before the opening ceremony of the air show, and they began to talk about it.
Others were discussing that the Mingzhou Group was not idle either and had collected a large amount of intelligence.
So, that night, the person in charge of the air show Yuan Liming found Qin Tao.
"Mr. Qin, your Mingzhou Group adds luster to our air show every time. This air show has not even started yet, and countless people are interested in the aircraft inside your tarpaulin."
"Aren't the other brother units dissatisfied that we stole the limelight?" Qin Tao asked.
"How could it be." Yuan Liming shook his head. This sentence was considered normal. The next sentence made Qin Tao dumbfounded: "Anyway, this is not the first time that you have grabbed the limelight. As long as you are here, you will be the focus of the audience.
Even if they want to be dissatisfied, they don't have the qualifications."
"We need to do a good job in security tomorrow, especially in terms of order. If too many people come to our booth to see the fifth-generation aircraft, and it ends up causing chaos and causing a stampede, that would be bad."
"Don't worry, it's not our first time hosting this event. We already have experience." Yuan Liming said, "Mr. Qin, I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance tomorrow. Your plane will definitely be reported by media around the world.
Front page headlines.”
"Well, you'd better go to Lao Maozi's place and have a look. Every time there is an air show, Lao Maozi strongly supports them. They originally planned to show off, but now they are being robbed of the limelight by us. You have to do your work in advance."
"Well, I'll go right away." Yuan Liming nodded.
The air show is very important and he must take good care of it. If he is not careful, an accident may occur.
This night is destined to not be peaceful.
The next day, before dawn, there was a sea of people outside the air show. Whether they were military fans or ordinary people, they all wanted to come here to visit and treat it as a tourist. In fact, it was the same. The air show was just like
Like the Badaling Great Wall during the Golden Week, it became crowded with people.
Arrangements have been made in advance for the Mingzhou Group's booth. There are five security guards every three to five meters, responsible for maintaining order.
The railings outside the aircraft were originally just ordinary red isolation tapes, but last night, special stainless steel guardrails were made on site, and expansion screws were directly driven on the ground to fix them tightly to avoid accidents.
The opening ceremony of the air show was very lively, and a host was speaking. However, many people did not go there to watch. Outside the Mingzhou Group's booth, people of different skin colors and races were already here to watch.
They were all waiting for the tarpaulin to be untied to reveal the true face of the plane inside.
Zhao Dangsheng was used to this situation. He waited quietly on a stage outside the stainless steel guardrail. He waited until the host announced the official opening of the air show before he picked up the microphone.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you our exhibits. At this air show, our J-31A fighter jets will perform a lot of performances. The results of the draw will be this afternoon. Now, I will give you the results of the draw of our fighter jets.
Let me introduce to you the advanced performance..."
"Vertical takeoff and landing capability is a performance that many aircraft are pursuing, but only a few aircraft have achieved it. Currently, only a few mature aircraft in the world include the British Sea Harrier, Lao Maozi's Yak-38, and
Our J-31A, and if we compare performance, our aircraft is the most advanced! After all, it is a fourth-generation stealth aircraft with supersonic flight capabilities, and it is the most powerful aircraft of this era."
Zhao Dangsheng kept talking, and the people below could only listen patiently.
"Currently, this aircraft has received a large number of orders, especially from large countries in the desert, which have purchased dozens of them at one time and equipped them on their aircraft carriers. The combination of this fighter jet and aircraft carrier can quickly make some small and medium-sized countries
Obtain the most powerful maritime power! Countries that have purchased our aircraft carriers in the past can also purchase this kind of carrier-based aircraft to eliminate the backward Sea Harrier."
Zhao Dangsheng actually started advertising here! Others can only listen patiently. If they are impatient, there is no other way. After all, this is their home field.
"As for the production issue, it is also the biggest concern of our customers. For this reason, we set up a third assembly line this year to assemble vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. At present, our production capacity of this aircraft is only limited to the engine.
Production capacity." Zhao Dangsheng continued to ramble: "We will urge our brother factories not to delay and produce engines for us as quickly as possible. Of course, we do not rule out the production of supporting engines for Tianjiao Aviation. In short, in terms of production capacity,
It will definitely not be a problem. Compared with other countries that often take three to five years to produce and deliver, we can now completely compress it to less than two years."
Half an hour passed, and an hour passed. Even though it was autumn, the latitude here was low and the sun was still shining, so the people who had been waiting below finally lost their patience.
"Excuse me, what kind of aircraft is inside your tarpaulin?"
"That's right, the air show has begun now. Don't you still plan to display this aircraft?"
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Zhao Dangsheng slapped his forehead: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was just introducing our vertical take-off and landing fighter jets and forgot about it."
forgotten?
You guys have been waiting here for more than an hour, and your hand holding the camera is sore. You just wanted to take a picture of the fighter plane behind you, but luckily for you, you actually forgot about it!
Many people slandered in their hearts, this is too abominable!
"Take away the tarpaulin!" Zhao Dangsheng shouted to the people behind him.
As a result, the tarpaulin was slowly unveiled, and the beautiful and smooth fighter slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The first thing that appeared was the nose. When they saw the structure of the nose, everyone opened their eyes wide.
What's this?
platypus?
The appearance is very similar to the Su-32. The nose is flat and tilted downward. This design is too different. Aren’t all fourth-generation aircraft using diamond-shaped noses?
Could it be that the stealth design capabilities of Easterners have improved again?
The world's first stealth aircraft is the F-117. The surface of this aircraft has countless fold lines, which looks so aerodynamic that many people doubt whether this aircraft can fly.
But when it came to the second model, the F-22, the appearance began to follow aerodynamics, and it was just a matter of proper modification.
When it comes to the third model, B-2, there are no traces of deliberate modifications for stealth in the appearance. It is completely natural. Why is this?
Of course, it is the improvement of computer computing power. At the beginning, if the computing power was insufficient, it could only be divided into multiple surfaces. Later, when the computing power was enhanced, it could be appropriately modified. Later, when the computing power was higher, it would be integrated.
Now, if the aircraft in front of us also has stealth capabilities, it is enough to show that Mingzhou Group has made rapid progress in design.
"This aircraft looks like a super-fast aircraft!" At this moment, an expert onlookers said: "The strips on the side of the fuselage can provide a high lift-to-drag ratio."
Looking at those supersonic warheads and Qian Xuesen’s ballistic aircraft, you can find that starting from the nose, a side strip is pulled out backwards. This side strip is the best aerodynamic layout plan for the hyperspeed aircraft. (It seems to be also called a wave-riding flying body?
The Hero of East China has not studied this, so I really don’t know.)
A layman is watching the excitement, while an expert is watching the door. At this time, half of the experts on site are professionals.
"The cockpit cover is actually opaque!" The tarpaulin continued to roll back, and they could see the cockpit behind. The cockpit did not have any protrusions, as if it were directly embedded in the fuselage, similar to the cockpit of the Platypus.
, bomber design, without any rear view.
However, its canopy is black!
what happened?
Because it is a model, is it inconvenient to re-open the mold and then directly find a black thing to install it?
It is possible, but at the same time, there is also a new possibility: this aircraft is going to fly into outer space, so it needs this kind of black glass. In outer space, once it faces the sun directly, the sunlight coming through the portholes will
It would be very scary.
In other words, the plane in front of you may fly into outer space?
If you could fly from the ground to outer space, what would it be?
Space plane!
Orientals are actually studying aerospace aircraft? Moreover, the model in front of them already exists, which shows that they have moved from theoretical research to practice and started to build prototypes?
Daniel and others were so surprised that they opened their mouths wide.
They originally thought that the Orientals would come up with a twin-engine heavy-duty stealth aircraft that would look similar to the F-22. At that time, they would be able to publicize it to the outside world, and the Orientals would plagiarize it!
What now?
The Orientals have actually developed a fifth-generation aircraft? The Orientals are going to fly to heaven on a rocket!
