Chapter 1071 Eye-Opening

"Our cockpit display is composed of two 250 by 200 mm high-brightness touch LCD panels. The large screen is divided into four vertical columns, which respectively display the tactical enemy situation, sensors, airborne systems, and weapons. Main combat information. The one on the left shows the airborne instruments, the one on the right is the weapon mount on the aircraft, because there is nothing, so this one is empty, and the one on the right is the radar screen, which you should be familiar with, but we Different colors will be used to distinguish them. For example, the blue circle symbol represents the fighter itself and the wingman, the green circle represents friendly forces, the red circle represents the enemy, and the white circle represents the unidentified person..." Zhang Zhonghua detailed Introduced.

The people below are also listening carefully. Although they can't see it, they can imagine that such a large-area monitor can display all the content. It's amazing!

"The HUD above can display the content that the pilot urgently needs. For example, when flying, it is flight data, during air combat, it is the data of enemy aircraft, etc." Zhang Zhonghua continued: "At the same time, in order to facilitate operation, , we can switch by voice.”

"Voice switching?"

"Yes, the touch screen has no force feedback. In situations such as air combat, it is definitely not as direct as voice."

In later generations, many cars like to install large screens to show their high-tech level. In fact, they have a full auto parts city style. When the driver is operating, it will be very difficult. Not only do they have to be distracted, Looking at the screen, the key point is that there is no force feedback. After pressing the buttons on the touch screen, I don’t know whether it works or not, so I still have to pay attention to it.

Fighters will also face this problem, so working together with voice and touch screens is the best choice.

"Can I try it?" The boss became interested.

"Of course, but we have to switch languages ​​first."

Below, Mikhail's eyes were complicated.

This kind of cockpit display technology is very advanced, but they will definitely not be able to produce it within ten years. How can we use advanced cockpit avionics systems as soon as possible?

The best way is of course to purchase from the East, but Mikhail can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

More than ten years ago, Dongfang still needed to purchase fighters from Damao and introduce production lines. It was only with the Su-27 that Dongfang truly gained control of the air. What now? The Orientals actually overtook and surpassed them.

Bolzakov is very open.

"Mr. Qin, your technology is awesome!" Bolzakov said, "Especially the avionics technology, which is at the most advanced level in the world! I really hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Of course, we have always been best friends. If you have any needs, just ask us. Whether it is a cockpit display system or a radar system, we can provide you with supporting equipment. What you are good at is mobility, and what we are good at is Avionics, with this combination, you will definitely be able to develop the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world!”

Match it together?

Mikhail looked at the aircraft in front of him again. This aircraft not only has excellent avionics, but also has high engine thrust and strong stealth performance. Is there anything on our side that is more powerful than Dongfang? It seems not!

Mikhail was really a little depressed.

"Everyone, please refuel our plane. According to the plan, we will present you with a wonderful aerial flight show." Qin Tao said after seeing that the time was almost up.

"Yes, we want to see the performance of this aircraft!" The boss nodded.

The Gromov Test Flight Institute often holds flight performances and has a special stand. Soon, the stand was filled with people. The boss sat in the place with the best view. On the left were Qin Tao and Nikolai, and on the right was Bo. While Erzhakov and Mikhail were waiting, the boss chatted with them.

"Mr. Qin, this fighter plane of yours looks really good. I heard that it is also selling well abroad."

"Yes, the current order has been scheduled for ten years." Qin Tao said: "We are one of a kind, popular all over the world. After all, we are the only medium-sized stealth fighter in the world, and we have multiple types of aircraft. No matter Whether it is air force, navy, conventional take-off and landing, catapult take-off and landing, vertical take-off and landing, there are corresponding models to facilitate customers’ choice.”

Ten years from now? Nicholas frowned. Doesn't this mean that if he wants to order it, it will take ten years to get it?

No, of course not. The relationship between Qin and himself is so good, so he will go through the back door when the time comes.

"The takeoff and landing of your fighter plane are very similar to our Yak aircraft, right?"

"Yes, it's very similar." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Actually, all airplanes around the world are the same. They have one fuselage and two wings. No matter how incredible the designer is, he can still make an airplane with three wings. ?"

If you want to say that we plagiarized, just save it. All planes around the world are the same.

"Are planes like yours not cheap?"

"Yes, there are no cheap stealth aircraft. The current export price of your Su-27 is only US$70-80 million per unit. It is a twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft, but the price of our single-engine medium-sized aircraft has exceeded 100 million US dollars." , However, in the future battlefield, without stealth, there will be no victory. The advantage of generation difference is huge. "Qin Tao said: "If you don't believe it, we can do a simulated battle next. , you can dispatch a squadron of Su-27s, and we only dispatch one stealth aircraft. Without the support of the early warning aircraft, our aircraft will be completely victorious."

The boss's eyes lit up, and just when he was about to nod, Mikhail said from the side: "There is no need to compete like this. Four planes versus one are obviously bullying you. Besides, your aircraft production is so busy, so you should deliver it as soon as possible. Give it to customers.”

Mikhail knew in his heart that if there was a real competition, the navy and air force would be shocked. By that time, their Su-27 would no longer be good. Especially, who knows what the Orientals think, what if the Orientals take it? The result of this confrontation was highly publicized, so their Su-27 was even more unsaleable!

Mikhail can't let this happen. This President Qin is full of bad ideas.

The boss looked at Mikhail thoughtfully and wanted to say something. At this time, the roar of the engine could be heard on the tarmac.

Although it was a long-distance flight, Zhang Zhonghua was not tired because the entire flight was almost automatic. He could even squint and sleep in the seat. The main reason was that the cabin was too cramped and he felt suffocated.

After coming down to do some activities, my energy has almost recovered, and now I am doing a flight demonstration.

After starting the engine and taxiing from the tarmac to the runway, everyone was surprised again.

"Isn't this a vertical takeoff and landing fighter?"

"Yes, it is vertical take-off and landing, but everyone should know that in the case of vertical take-off, the aircraft's load is limited, and it also consumes fuel, so whenever possible, the aircraft will take off and land in short distances."

Lao Maozi's Yak-38 does not have this function. After all, they use two lift engines, which are too difficult to control. However, the British Sea Harrier specializes in short take-off and landing, and they all know this kind of take-off and landing. the benefits of.

Now, the vertical take-off and landing fighter is about to roll away!

The cover on the back of the aircraft was opened, and the way the J-31A took off looked a bit funny, but everyone watched it very carefully.

This kind of rolling take-off places higher requirements on flight control!

How much lift the lift fan should provide and how the tail nozzle should rotate are all very particular. It can be said that if there is a slight difference, the takeoff will fail or even cause a flight accident.

Even if the Yak-141 develops, it will not use this method because Lao Maozi's flight control is not good.

However, the Oriental's operation is very easy!

The big guy's eyes were full of shock.

"Can we use this method if we don't have a jump deck in front?" Nicholas asked. He was also very excited. At the same time, he also knew what this meant: their two amphibious assault ships could also use this method to take off. Way!

I originally thought that changes were needed, but now I suddenly discovered that this fighter can be operated better even without changes!

"That's right, what we are showing now is how to take off by taxiing within a hundred meters." Qin Tao said.

As long as you don't pull onions directly on dry land and have a run-up, you can save a lot of energy. Now that the J-31A is showing this capability to everyone, the purpose is even more obvious: to let everyone know that those two 25,000-ton ships The amphibious assault ship can definitely use this kind of fighter!

Now on the ground, there is no deck wind. On the amphibious assault ship, as long as it accelerates to the maximum speed, it can provide better take-off conditions for the carrier-based aircraft.

In the eyes of everyone, the fighter plane taxied forward. Compared with the normal take-off method, its taxi was not very fast. When it taxied for a hundred meters, the speed was just over a hundred meters, but , but the wheels easily left the runway and continued flying forward.

The lift fan on the back of the aircraft is still turned on and continues to provide lift, while the nozzle at the tail has been turned to a direction horizontal to the fuselage, providing the aircraft with a higher flight speed. As the aircraft continues to accelerate, the wings on the wing More and more lift was generated, and when it reached more than 200, the lift fan cover on the back of the aircraft slowly closed, completely switching to normal flight status.

"If we take off vertically, our maximum take-off weight will be limited to 18 tons. Now with the help of a 100-meter rolling distance, our maximum take-off weight can be increased to 23 tons." Qin Tao introduced to everyone : "The extra five tons of weight can allow the fighter plane to have more fuel and more weapons load."

"With just one hundred meters of sliding, the performance has been greatly improved!" Nicholas was very satisfied: "Qin, your design is really great!"

"This is a common problem among all vertical take-off and landing fighters. If your Yak-38 could roll in a short distance, it might not be eliminated," Qin Tao said.

Everyone is a little embarrassed. The take-off and landing points of the Yak-38 back then were all covered with special high-temperature resistant materials. If you want to burn, you will burn an area. If it is changed to a rolling take-off, wouldn't it mean that if you want to burn, you will burn a line?

While he was talking, the fighter plane had turned back and started performing various maneuvers.

The modern third-generation aircraft can already perform many maneuvers with its powerful aircraft performance. The aircraft of the Russian Federation has repeatedly become a frequent visitor to the air show, performing various exciting and eye-catching actions, which are dazzling and refreshing.

In terms of maneuverability, the J-31A has nothing outstanding, but this aircraft has unique skills! It is a professional vertical take-off and landing fighter. The nozzle at the back can rotate downward more than 90 degrees. This is the vector propulsion system, so it can also perform unique skills that other aircraft cannot perform.

Watching the wonderful flight performance of this aircraft, everyone applauded, and Qin Tao introduced on the side what each action is used for, what benefits it will bring to the pilot in air combat, and so on.

Mikhail listened on the side, and was very disdainful in his heart. Humph, what's so good about your aircraft performance? When it comes to maneuverability, it's still our Sukhoi Design Bureau!

After watching the flight show, the boss went back, and everyone went to the canteen of the Flight Test Institute to hold a welcome banquet.

"Come, let's raise our glasses together and thank the Orientals who came from afar for bringing us a wonderful flight show!" Borzakov raised the glass in his hand.

"We are honored." Qin Tao said: "I hope we can have in-depth exchanges in more aspects in the future."

"Boss Qin, the technology of this fighter has a lot to do with our Great Russia." Mikhail raised his glass somewhat unconvinced: "I heard that there are many people from the Yakovlev Design Bureau in the R&D team of this fighter, and even the chief designer is ours. The engine used is also our Great Russia. Come, let's toast to the fact that Great Russia's technology has taken root in your East!"

Qin Tao smiled: "Mr. Mikhail, I heard that there are also many Great Russia technicians in Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the United States. Not to mention our fighters, even the American JSF has your technology."

Mikhail's expression froze.

Is what Boss Qin said right?

Of course it's right! Back then, when the Red Empire collapsed, many first-class technicians in Great Russia went to the West, and some who didn't want to go to the West went to the East. As for their own country? There is no soil for them to survive in their own country!

Now, can they blame the East for poaching people? Of course not. If they want to blame someone, they should blame themselves for not doing their best! They have no ability to retain their own scientific researchers. Even the Sukhoi Design Bureau has lost a lot of talent, most of whom have gone to the West.

"The past is over, and we must look to the future." Nikolai said: "We believe that with our efforts and with the help of the East, we will be able to modernize our equipment!"

With the help of the East? Mikhail wanted to refute this sentence, we don't need the help of the East! But before he said it, he thought of something else, and he couldn't say it anymore. Without the help of the East, they would not have a modern navy. Now the main equipment of the navy has been improved by the East, and even the two newest warships of the navy were built by the East.

Nikolai was right to say this.

"Sir Nikolai, the navy does need help from the East, but I don't think our air force needs it." Mikhail said, "We have a strong aviation industry, and our Sukhoi Design Bureau is world-renowned. We are fully capable of developing world-class fighters and providing the navy with the best equipment."

"Yes, I also look forward to you developing advanced fighters for us. In terms of stealth, it should be the same level as the East's fighter. This shouldn't be difficult, right?" Nikolai said to Mikhail.

Mikhail's face immediately became serious.

Reach the same level as the East? What a joke! They don't have this kind of strength. Although they are very powerful, they have been studying maneuverability over the years. In terms of stealth, they have never considered it before. In fact, their technology is really learned from the period of cooperation with the East.

If only the plasma stealth technology had been matured back then!

"Come, let's toast to the future of the Russian aviation industry. I wish you can have stealth fighters as good as ours in the future!" Qin Tao raised his glass.

Mikhail raised his glass in a depressed mood and drank it all.

After the banquet, Nikolai wanted to talk to Qin Tao, but he received a new order and hurried to Qin Tao to say goodbye.

"Qin, the boss summoned us, probably for this stealth carrier-based aircraft." Nikolai said: "You stay here for a few days and wait for my news."

Qin Tao nodded.

Most of the people who visited the Oriental aircraft today came to Moscow. It was already night, and the lights in the conference room shone on everyone's face, with different expressions.

"Everyone, tell me, what do you think of this fighter jet of the Oriental people today?" The boss started.

However, no one spoke first, so the boss began to call on names: "Borzakov, you speak."

"The biggest feature of this fighter is its first-class stealth. Our S400 air defense system can only detect it at a distance of 40 kilometers. If it comes to war, this is very dangerous."

"You mean, this fighter will pose a threat to us?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. At present, we have not found such fighters deployed to our borders, let alone threatening Moscow. After all, if it wants to fly over, it needs aerial refueling, and I don't think our air force will cooperate." Borzakov made a joke, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"I mean, we need this kind of stealth aircraft." Borzakov continued: "The performance of this aircraft is very advanced, which opened our eyes. If we hadn't seen it today, I guess no one would believe that the stealth performance of fighter jets can reach this level."

Nicholas was immediately delighted. Borzakov was speaking for him! With his support, the navy can better purchase this kind of fighter!

The boss looked at Mikhail: "Can our Sukhoi Design Bureau achieve this level?"

Mikhail was embarrassed.
