The car carrying three people parked in front of a temperature-controlled hangar.
What's more interesting is that the factory area of this military industrial enterprise seems to be a complex factory area that integrates R&D, manufacturing and testing, so there are not only R&D buildings and workshops here, but also a bunch of testing grounds for testing weapons.
At this time, Wang Yu and the others arrived at such a place, the aircraft test area located on the edge of the factory.
It consists of a runway, a small tower and some temperature-controlled hangars.
I have to say that as a military industrial enterprise, this is already very powerful.
Wang Yu looked at this constant-temperature hangar and couldn't help but secretly sighed. It was better than the one he had at the Oasis Base.
But if you think about it carefully, if these hangars are used to park test machines manufactured by this company, then it is not surprising that an excellent environment is maintained in order to control the influence of irrelevant factors during product testing.
After observation, Wang Yu and the others have basically determined that the fighter jets they want to receive are probably some of the latest developed new gadgets, so they have been looking forward to it, but at the same time they also have some doubts in their hearts.
Is it safe enough to give them a new machine that has not been tested?
In the military industry, the most important factor of weapons is not the sophistication or advanced nature of the weapons, but reliability.
In the army, new equipment is often installed in small batches to large batches. A small amount of experimental equipment is first used by the troops, and it is inspected to ensure that it is correct before being put into large-scale service. Instead of immediately stepping up the replacement of new equipment as soon as it is developed.
……
A reliable weapon that is basically error-free is naturally more suitable for front-line service personnel than a new weapon with a lot of uncertainty. After all, no one wants to carry a showy thing that looks awesome. As a result,
Accidents occur in emergencies.
Therefore, from the perspective of front-line service personnel, Wang Yu has doubts about the new fighters they are about to receive.
They got off the jeep with expectations and doubts.
Present were a senior executive of the military industrial enterprise and a colonel from the Air Force technical department.
Later, the colonel explained to the three people in a concise and concise way the reason why they were brought here.
It's not difficult to understand - the project started by this military industrial enterprise many years ago has finally yielded results, and it has developed two new fighter jets.
These two new fighters are completely different from those currently in service. They have almost completely new aerodynamic shapes, new avionics, flight control systems, and new weapons and equipment, which can be said to be of epoch-making significance.
After the development was completed, they immediately reported and manufactured the first batch of test aircraft, and quickly conducted test flights and basic tests. After confirming that there were no problems, they directly called this new fighter aircraft a "fifth-generation aircraft."
The company considers that if these fifth-generation aircraft can enter military service, it will mean that their development technology is leading the world, so they can't wait to have excellent ace pilots to conduct more professional flights and evaluations of these two "epoch-making" fighters.
If possible, it is best to test it in actual combat.
Therefore, their executives reported this matter to the military, and the military naturally looked forward to the emergence of a fighter jet that could surpass the current F-22, Su-57 and other fighters, so they hit it off with the military industry and began to search for suitable candidates.
.
Just at this time, the people at the Oasis Base reported about the Polaris Squadron, an ace squadron with excellent pilot skills.
And more importantly, they need to replace their fighter jets.
So, the military conveniently sent Wang Yu and the others here with an approval document - their mission is to cooperate with the company in testing the performance of the fighter jets in this development zone, and after a period of comprehensive testing, receive these two new fighter jets.
Return to base.
To put it simply, Wang Yu and the others' mission is to first evaluate the performance of the fighter plane from a more professional perspective. If they feel there is no problem, they will use the fighter plane as their landline and further determine the performance of the fighter plane in various subsequent missions.<
/p>
Wang Yu and the others always feel like they are being treated as guinea pigs.
However, considering that this fighter jet has already passed basic quality inspections and test flights by test pilots, there should be no major problems with the fighter itself, so they accepted this reality - and to be honest, the name of the fifth-generation aircraft is indeed quite attractive to them. So, after a brief introduction, Wang Yu and the others were taken to the constant-temperature hangar by the company's executives.
And here, Wang Yu did see a brand new fighter jet that exceeded his imagination.
"Our company has established projects to develop a number of fighter aircraft, including the 'Seraph', 'Raven' and other projects..."
As soon as he entered the hangar, the executive started chattering.
But Wang Yu no longer wanted to listen to his nonsense at this time, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the figure of the fighter plane in the hangar.
What he saw was a new fighter plane that was dozens of times more handsome than the F-22, with a dull light shining from its metal skin.
This military industrial enterprise's Project 404 is a fighter jet designed and manufactured under the R&D program code-named "Strike Dragon".
Wang Yu began to wait for the executive to introduce the data of the fighter jet.
The executives seemed to feel that they had said too much, so they began to introduce the fighter jet.
And Wang Yu also quickly sorted out the situation of this fighter plane in his mind.
This new fighter is a two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, multi-functional heavy-duty fighter. In terms of size, it is 21.84 meters long. When the outer wings are fully extended, the overall width is 18.3 meters. When the outer wings are retracted, the width is 11.54 meters.
The total height of the aircraft when raised is 4.36 meters, and the height of the aircraft when the tail is flat is 3.42 meters. In terms of power, the fighter uses two newly developed erg-2000 engines, which can allow the fighter to reach a maximum speed of Mach 3 in high-speed cruising.
Realize supersonic cruise function.
As for why there are two different sets of data for height and width?
The reason is very simple. The fighter plane Wang Yu is seeing is not a traditional forward-swept or swept-back fixed wing, nor is it a simple variable wing like the F14 Tomcat. Instead, it is a wing with a tail fin.
A folding-wing fighter with all movable flaps.
When the wings are unfolded, it is a sharply angled forward-swept wing body, which provides a good aerodynamic shape for takeoff and low-speed combat. But this is not all of this fighter. When the speed increases to a certain level, the extended wing
The forward-swept outer wings will be folded and retracted into the mezzanine of the main wing, and the canards and highly-swept tail will also be flattened, turning the entire fighter plane into a streamlined plane like a pentagon.
The body greatly reduces the air resistance encountered by the fighter aircraft when flying at high speed.
Good guy, forward-swept wings are rare enough, but this fighter boldly combines deformation wing technology with forward-swept wings, becoming such a monster-like existence.
Everyone present knows something about fighter aircraft, so they all know that the use of this special fighter aircraft structure proves that this fighter aircraft has achieved a perfect balance in the flight control system and wants to change its attitude during high-speed flight.
, and adjust the balance of the fighter aircraft according to the different wing shapes, then it is impossible to do without a perfect flight control system.
Wang Yu looked at the fighter plane, and there was only one word left in his heart.
Damn it.
Liu Lingxin was also amazed and looked at this fighter plane that she had never seen before.
The entire fighter jet adopts a stealth design and has an angular fuselage. The back extends backward on the fuselage, which is a conformal fuel tank that fits the shape of the entire aircraft. The air inlets for the twin engines are located on the belly of the aircraft, with the air inlets on both sides.
It has a small bomb bay, a large weapons bay in the middle, and the engine nozzles are two jagged displacement nozzles that have a very sci-fi feel.
Of course, the teardrop-shaped canopy that fits perfectly into the fuselage, the modern-looking cockpit inside, and the fuselage with basically no obvious seams are even more amazing. p>
For some reason, Wang Yu had an idea in his heart.
This fighter plane was created by integrating a series of disciplines such as materials science and aerodynamics. It can represent one of the achievements of the highest level of technological development in the world.
He couldn't wait to sit on it and experience it.
"What's his model?"
After Wang Yu and other senior executives introduced the data, they immediately asked.
The company executive smiled slightly: "Model x-02s, nickname - Strike Flying Dragon."
