On a spacious parking lot at the Galaxy Aerospace Industrial Base in Huangping Town, Qin Yi and many scientists, engineers, and researchers looked at the newly released anti-gravity fighter in front of them and couldn't help but sigh.
Although it is no longer difficult for everyone to build an anti-gravity aircraft, it is still not an easy task to design an anti-gravity fighter based on ordinary anti-gravity aircraft.
Compared with ordinary aircraft, fighter planes used in combat have many requirements.
It has many requirements such as fast speed, high flexibility, strong endurance, large load capacity, high climbing height and so on.
Only with fast speed and high flexibility can you have an advantage in aerial combat. As long as you are fast enough and flexible enough, you can easily escape the opponent's lock and pursuit.
On the contrary, if the speed is slow and the flexibility is low, it will be easy to be locked and chased by the enemy, and during combat, when you want to chase the enemy, it is often difficult to catch up with the enemy and lock on the enemy.
Endurance is related to the combat radius of the fighter aircraft. The stronger the endurance, the larger the combat radius, and the larger the attack range.
As for the load capacity, it is related to the attack capability of the fighter aircraft. The more powerful the load, the more air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons it can carry, and the more amazing the effect of a single take-off.
Climb height is also an important indicator for measuring modern fighter aircraft. Because the thinning of the atmosphere continues to decrease with increasing altitude, traditional jet fighters have a height limit.
When the altitude exceeds a certain value, because the air is so thin that it cannot provide enough buoyancy, traditional jet fighters cannot fly upwards. This is why traditional jet fighters can never fly into space.
among the reasons.
The stronger the engine, the higher it can climb.
Because of the many high-standard requirements for fighter aircraft, even though Qin Yi and others have mastered the technology of anti-gravity aircraft, it still took more than 2 months to actually build a qualified anti-gravity fighter aircraft. This is still not possible for Qin Yi.
Yi this hanging pen exists.
Qin Yi looked at the fighter plane in front of him. It was 8.8 meters long, 3.2 meters high, and 4.4 meters wide. The overall shape still maintained the unique oblong shape of anti-gravity aircraft.
From a distance, it looks like a flying saucer in science fiction movies. It has no wheels, only a landing bracket. The whole thing is silvery white, and the outer shell emits bursts of light under the sunlight.
"Qin Yi, this fighter plane seems to be very good~"
In addition to people from Galaxy Aerospace Technology, there were many people wearing military uniforms and carrying stars on their shoulders. Among them were Qin Yi's old acquaintances Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang.
The two of them learned that Qin Yi had already produced a prototype, so they rushed over almost non-stop with a group of experts.
At this time, the two people kept walking around the fighter plane, and from time to time they touched the fighter plane with their hands to feel the coldness of the fighter's outer shell.
"I think it's okay~"
Qin Yi smiled, but this time he was not modest.
"The Qingyun fighter has an empty load of 5 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 55 tons. The engine uses the Galaxy Aerospace A2 anti-gravity engine. The energy source uses 10 second-generation atomic matrix batteries and can carry 100,000 kWh of electricity at a time."
"The maximum flight speed is Mach 10, and the level flight speed is Mach 6~"
"Its combat radius can cover any place in the world~"
Qin Yi was very proud and began to introduce its various data to Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang in detail. These data are important indicators for measuring the performance of a fighter jet.
"With an empty load of 5 tons, the maximum take-off gravity is 55 tons, which means its effective load reaches 50 tons?"
Li Jun is a veteran of the Air Force and is very sensitive to various data. As soon as he heard it, he immediately grabbed one of the points and asked.
"Yes, we use an anti-gravity engine. In order to maintain its overall streamlined shape and aerodynamics, its internal load space is not too large, otherwise it can have a larger load capacity."
Qin Yi nodded and explained.
"My dear~ Is this a fighter jet or a bomber?"
Li Jun suddenly couldn't help shouting. Such a terrifying load-carrying capacity is comparable to that of a bomber. You must know that the IL-76 transport aircraft, the largest transport aircraft in the world, has a maximum take-off weight of only 190 tons. Apart from its own
In addition to its own weight, the real payload will actually not exceed 100 tons.
This is why Li Jun couldn't help shouting. If this Qingyun fighter had a larger load capacity, it could be comparable to bombers and transport aircraft.
In terms of load capacity, it is comparable to that of a bomber.
"With a maximum speed of Mach 10 and a speed of Mach 6 in level flight, even ordinary missiles can't catch up~"
Zhao Guoliang is concerned about the speed of the Qingyun fighter jet. Its speed is really too fast. The speed of ordinary fighter jets is at most about Mach 3, and the level flight speed is about Mach 1.1.
The speed of general missiles is about Mach 6. Only large and heavy intercontinental missiles can reach speeds of Mach 20 or above at the end of the warhead.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to use intercontinental missiles to attack fighter jets. Only air-to-air missiles or surface-to-air missiles are suitable for dealing with fighter jets. However, the speed of these missiles often does not exceed Mach 6, and only a few missiles can reach Mach 10.
speed.
This means that ordinary missiles cannot catch up with this Qingyun fighter jet and cannot hit it even if they want to hit it.
"Theoretically speaking, ordinary missiles cannot catch up with it~"
Qin Yi nodded. This is the advantage of anti-gravity power. It ignores the gravity of the earth, so it has a great advantage in speed.
This is just a preliminary design. There are still many areas worthy of improvement in the future, and the speed will definitely become faster and faster.
"No wonder it can be said that the combat radius covers the whole world~"
"Such a terrifying speed, even if calculated at the speed of Mach 6 in level flight, it can fly 2040 meters in one second, which is 2 kilometers, 120 kilometers in one minute, and 7200 kilometers in one hour, which is the distance of the earth several times.
The circumference of the equator is 40,000 kilometers."
"At the speed of level flight, it only takes 5.6 hours to circle the equator, and the 10 atomic matrix batteries on it are enough to support it to fly in the air for 10 hours at a time."
Next to Zhao Guoliang, Wu Guan, an aviation expert from the Air Force, counted carefully with his fingers and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
Okay, okay, this Qingyun fighter jet is really good.
You must know that even the most amazing domestic J-20 fighter that has been touted in the past has a combat radius of only 2,000 kilometers. This combat radius is still acceptable and can almost cover the entire range of China.
But compared with the Qingyun fighter in front of me, it seemed completely inadequate.
"What is its ultimate height?"
Then, Wu Guan thought for a moment and realized that Qin Yi seemed to have forgotten to introduce an extremely important piece of data. He couldn't help but ask.
"Extreme height?"
When Qin Yi heard this, he was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "It is an anti-gravity fighter. It is not only able to fly on the earth, it can fly directly into space. It is an aerospace fighter!"
"Aerospace fighter?"
Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang couldn't help but asked with some doubts.
"I'm old, I'm really old~"
"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to witness the birth of aerial combat aircraft, and Qi was the first to be born in China. With young people like you, China has a promising future~"
When Wu Guan heard Qin Yi's words, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"The so-called aerospace fighter is a concept proposed by scientists a long time ago. A fighter that can both fly and aerospace can be called an aerospace fighter!"
"I am really old, and I still use the data of traditional fighter aircraft to measure it. It really makes everyone laugh."
Wu Guan shook his head and explained to Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang what an air and space fighter was.
"Mr. Wu, you are joking."
"You have been fighting and working hard for our country's aerospace and national defense all your life. Without the efforts and contributions of you and countless predecessors, our motherland would not be what it is now."
After hearing this, Qin Yi shook his head and said very respectfully.
"Haha~ We are ashamed. The country has spent a lot of money and wasted resources. However, it has never developed a truly capable fighter aircraft. Even the field of aerospace engines has not been truly conquered."
"You young people are so awesome. You have even developed an aerial fighter jet. I can't help but want to watch it soar under the blue sky and dance in space."
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Wu Guan was very impressed. He laughed happily and carefully touched the surface of the Qingyun fighter with his hands. He looked very excited and excited.
"Now it is about to undergo a test flight. The data I mentioned earlier are theoretical data. The real data will not be known until it flies in the sky."
After listening to Wu Guan's words, Qin Yi could also feel the feelings of the older generation of military workers. It can be said that people like Wu Guan and others have been risking their lives in the research of certain military products almost all their lives.
Wu Guan has been studying fighter planes all his life, and there are many, many people like Wu Guan. Some people study fighter planes, some study missiles, some study submarines, and some study aircraft carriers...
It is precisely because of the thousands of people like Wu Guan who have quietly dedicated their lives to the national defense industry that our country's growing military strength has supported our straight waist, and that we have the peace and tranquility we have now.
life.
For such scientists, engineers, and researchers who have dedicated their lives to the country, Qin Yi has great respect from the bottom of his heart. In this increasingly impetuous and realistic era, he can calm down and truly devote his life to something.
