Chapter 726 A Stunning Appearance
Although the Paris Air Show main committee is reluctant, it still has to arrange for the HH-01 Phantom stealth aircraft to appear last. If this stealth aircraft is released in advance, there will be nothing for other companies to do. Everyone’s focus will definitely shift to the stealth aircraft, which is a unique aircraft in the world.
Entering the fourth day of the air show, aircraft from all aviation manufacturing companies have been unveiled one after another; Heiyun Group's HH-01 Phantom stealth aircraft finally appeared in public view.
After seeing the appearance of the plane, everyone agreed that it was definitely not a product of the earth. Airplanes shouldn't look like this, at least they shouldn't be made like this on Earth. He was the most handsome guy in the room when he appeared on the scene. Compared with the HH-01 Phantom aircraft, other aircraft were simply ugly ducklings and white swans; there was no comparison at all.
The announcer has participated in many air shows and has seen many strange-looking aircraft before. But this was my first time seeing such a sci-fi aircraft, and I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, he has good professional qualities and responded quickly. So he quickly said: "What is preparing to take off on the runway now is the latest bomber developed by Heiyun Group-HH-01 Phantom. The aircraft began to be developed in March 1981 and first flew in May 1983; it is definitely the most advanced bomber in the world. Fighter-bomber.”
"HH-01 Ghost fighter bomber has a crew of 2; length: 13.8 meters; wingspan: 32.6 meters; height: 4.6 meters; empty weight: 39.5 tons; maximum take-off weight: 82 tons; maximum flight speed: Mach 1; cruise Speed: Mach 0.8; climb rate: 2.5 kilometers/minute; practical ceiling: 2.2 kilometers; combat radius: 3200 kilometers, which can be increased to 5000 kilometers after aerial refueling; equipped with a Doppler pulse radar with a detection range of 300 kilometers; equipped with two Heiyun 2 turbofan engines, each with a thrust of 9,200 kilograms."
"The ordnance system includes two 30mm cannons, two short-range missile launch nests, and a cruise missile or free-fall bomb launch chamber, which can load 12 tons of missiles or bombs."
“More than 85% of the parts of the HH-01 Ghost aircraft are made of titanium alloy, and the metal structure is very strong. Therefore, it can achieve supersonic flight. I have fallen in love with this aircraft.
Although the following words were spoken by the announcer, they also represent the voice of the vast majority of people. Those who came to buy fighter jets were all military purchasers from various countries, and they all knew that Iraq used this aircraft to make the Iranians surrender. This so-called HH-01 ghost aircraft has made the Iranian Air Force go back 20 years. Now it is buying aircraft all over the world!
The announcer did not introduce that this aircraft can be invisible to radar, but this could not be concealed from the aviation experts who came to visit. The aerodynamic layout of the aircraft can be seen at a glance, which is to minimize the radar scanning area. Combined with other ancillary equipment and working hard on the paint coat, the aircraft will be difficult to detect on radar waves.
The failure to admit stealth must be due to fear of Iranian retaliation, although the Iranians are not fools. I definitely know what's going on, but it's hard to do anything extreme without evidence.
Under the curious gaze of people, the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber pulled up directly after gliding a short distance. Everyone's jaw dropped. Is this a bomber? It is simply more flexible than a fighter jet, which shows how powerful the thrust of the engine is.
In fact, this was a deliberate move by the Black Cloud pilot; you must know that this is an exhibition in France, and it is impossible to carry any weapons and equipment, so that the aircraft can suddenly release 15 tons of thrust. In addition, it is not out for combat; the fuel volume is also controlled very reasonably, resulting in the entire aircraft weighing 30 tons less than in combat status. Without changing the engine thrust, the weight-reduced aircraft can of course do some actions that it normally cannot do.
The audience did not know this. At this time, everyone felt that the thrust of the aircraft engine was powerful and the aerodynamic layout was reasonable. Almost everyone who comes to an air show has a telescope in their hand. But when the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber flies far away, it is difficult to detect it through a telescope. The paint layers create a nice refraction of sunlight. This is not the most amazing place. At this time, the radar did not capture any targets. In other words, there were no flying objects in the sky, but everyone watched the plane take off.
No matter how powerful Bao Zixuan is, he can't perform magic in front of so many people. Then there is only one explanation. Ordinary radar cannot detect the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber at all.
The Iranian Air Force was not unjustly bombed, and no other country's air force would have discovered it. It seems that we still need to discuss with Bao Zixuan how to get this aircraft as soon as possible. At the same time, we must also increase the research and development of radar equipment; see if more sensitive radars can detect targets. In short, we must take a multi-pronged approach and cannot just sit back and wait for death.
After seeing the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber, the Iranian representative who was negotiating Mirage 2000 fighter purchase cooperation with the French company Dassault gritted his teeth. It was this aircraft that destroyed all their F-14 Panda fighters, bringing the Iranian Air Force almost back to the level of World War II. The enemy is right in front of them, but they know they must not retaliate; and they do not dare to retaliate.
Not to mention how many security personnel Bao Zixuan has around him, his wealth, status, and intricate relationships with various countries around the world make the Iranians daunted. There is nothing wrong with selling weapons as an arms dealer and making profits, if that country dares to risk the world's disdain and assassinate arms dealers. Then it will definitely become a public enemy of the world. Iran already has many enemies and cannot offend too many people.
The staff of Dassault Company saw the anger of the Iranians, and it would be strange not to be angry like that after being bombed. But I also know what can and cannot be said. At this time, we can only offer good advice and at the same time negotiate our own business. They are continuing to fight and let the Iranians take revenge on Bao Zixuan and the Black Cloud Group. It's fun to watch for a while, but it will bring endless troubles to Dassault.
It may even become a public enemy of the industry, with Dassault encouraging customers to retaliate against other companies. What kind of behavior is this? To retaliate against Heiyun today, will they use the same method to retaliate against Boeing, Lockheed, General Motors, and Sukhoi tomorrow? No one can guarantee.
This kind of behavior can only be said to be yes or no, not several times. If you use conspiracy to retaliate against your competitors, your own end will be no better.
After a series of dazzling operations, the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber finally returned to the ground. Due to the huge wingspan, the landing is very smooth.
Under the guidance of the ground staff, the plane arrived at the platform that had been prepared for customers to visit. At the same time, people can also see the basic data of the aircraft and a series of previous test flights through the LCD screen next to it.
Not only military procurement personnel from various countries, but other aviation enthusiasts also came to the booth thinking about the HH-01 Phantom aircraft. No one would miss the opportunity to see this alien-like aircraft at such a close distance.
Of course, this also includes representatives of the Iranian military, and Iraq owns this aircraft. And it has been put into actual combat, as Tehran Air Force Airport is the best proof, so Iran must also own this aircraft. At the same time, he kept thinking silently in his heart that the Heiyun Group was not their enemy, but just an arms dealer selling weapons to the enemy.
Before coming to Paris, domestic orders had been issued. Even if you pay a high price, you still have to purchase a stealth aircraft. As long as it is material owned by Iran, it can be exchanged. Oil, minerals, and US dollars are not a problem. If these Bao Zixuan are not satisfied, they can even use the gold reserves of the national treasury. The Iranians are indeed afraid of being bombed, and of course it has a lot to do with the small air force left in the country.
You must know that they were the first country in the Middle East and the second country in the world to own F-14 Panda aircraft. It ranks among the world's air forces, but now there are only a few old aircraft left, and there is no sense of security at all.
With the debut of the HH-01 Phantom fighter-bomber, the 35th Paris Air Show has also entered its climax. No company or aircraft can take away the glory of the Phantom; this is a fact recognized by everyone. Now I can only hope that Bao Zixuan is not too dark and the price is a little more reasonable.
But everyone also knows that this is just a beautiful dream, and the entire machine is made of titanium alloy. The cost will definitely not be low. You must know that the titanium metal sold by the Soviets is not cheap at all.
It uses so much high technology at the same time, and it is still an exclusive business; combined with the consistently high prices produced by Heiyun, countries that want to buy the HH-01 Phantom combat bomber at a low price can just go to sleep.
Seeing that not a single customer in the company's hangar was negotiating, various aviation manufacturing companies were very angry. But there are some things that you can't envy, so you can only continue to improve your own technology to attract customers. This is the case with high-tech products. Customers will naturally come to you if the product is good.
