Chapter 127: New Carrier-Based Aircraft: True Dragon II.
"This ...... It's my slip of the tongue, it's my slip of the tongue......"
Seeing that Abdullah and Mahmoud were stunned when they heard the term "advanced trainer aircraft", Zarif immediately blushed like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, and explained again and again.
"Zarif, my dear friend...... My good brother ......" Before Zarif could finish explaining, Zhuang Jianye spoke: "Our JZB-119 is an advanced training aircraft, this is the truth, what is the mistake?"
After speaking, you turned to look at Abdullah and Mahmoud with stunned faces: "I am always honest with my true friends, because there is no such word as lying and false propaganda in my dictionary.
Our JZB-119 is not a fighter, he is a high-performance twin-engine advanced landing trainer developed by our Tengfei Group Group, this fact I have nothing to hide from the two, otherwise if I buy it back, I find that something is wrong, and I must not poke my Zhuang Jianye backbone? I don't want to tell the story of the West and Russia boasting their own things to the sky, wishing to send a missile to knock the moon down, because if this is the case, my morality will be tarnished, and my conscience will be ......."
Talking about the exaggerated false propaganda of some friends in the current aviation market, Zhuang Jianye was so distressed that when he said that his conscience would hurt, he subconsciously beat his chest with his fist, as if the pure heart in his chest at this moment was really painful.
This scene fell in the eyes of Gu Jingyou and other accompanying personnel, first surprised, then stunned, and finally one by one lowered their heads and blushed and began to look for cracks in the ground, to see if it was too late to get in.
There's no way, it's really shameless by Zhuang Jianye, and I almost have no mentality.
This NM is flickering, and it's a little too shocking.
Don't forget your original intention, still morally tainted, and your conscience will hurt!
If that's the case, Mr. NB, let's take out the Jianjiao-7MAX that has been being deeply improved, make a temporary patchwork, and finally be eliminated by the domestic verification model, even dare to say this kind of thing, if this is known by domestic counterparts, not to mention the five thunders in the sky, at least people and gods should be angry.
It's no wonder that Gu Jingyou and others think so, but JZB-119 is not the core model of Tengfei Group? But the headquarters felt weak in the Navy after a big event? The aircraft carrier program, which had been dormant for many years, was once again brought out for argumentation.
Based on this, the supporting aircraft carrier aircraft plan is re-incorporated into the equipment development plan of the headquarters? Tengfei Group, as the successor of Yonghong Factory, the main research and development unit of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft? Naturally, it became one of the preferred bidders of the headquarters.
As a result, Tengfei Group, together with Chenggong Group, Hongtong Factory, and Northeast Aviation Manufacturing Industry Company, became the manufacturers of the new round of bidding for carrier-based aircraft programs at the headquarters.
Because at that time, some leaders of the headquarters wanted to be able to convince their superiors as soon as possible? The aircraft carrier, a major project related to sea power, was quickly approved and implemented, so the four manufacturers were required to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
Short on time? Heavy task? It was obviously too late to redesign the new model, so the four manufacturers came up with carrier-based aircraft solutions based on the development of mature models.
For example, the Chenggong Group is a carrier-based version designed according to the No. 10 project, and the Northeast Aviation Manufacturing Industry Company uses the J-8II as the basis to derive a carrier-based aircraft scheme.
Hongtong Factory is a little bolder, using the twin-engine advanced training aircraft they are still developing as a template? A highly feasible light carrier-based aircraft scheme was proposed.
The above three factories all have quite a deep foundation in combat aircraft? So regardless of the performance of the solution, it is very good in terms of feasibility.
In contrast, Tengfei Group is a little stretched.
At the beginning, Yonghong Factory was merged into Tengfei Group, and those technicians who developed carrier-based aircraft were almost gone, and then Tengfei Group closed up the old stalls and did not take the old road of carrier-based aircraft? Instead, start with a low-end trainer.
But even so, Tengfei Group is still experiencing a talent shortage? Inexperienced predicament, even with the help of experts from the former Soviet Union? But it's also a minor fix, as a whole? It is still impossible to reverse the reality that the Tengfei Group is pulling its hips in terms of combat aircraft.
If not? Is it impossible for Zhuang Jianye to put aside the Indonesian National Aviation Industry Corporation, which is in direct competition with him? Let go and destroy the Daewoo Group first, the so-called is not the research and development team of the IDF fighter.
Therefore, when the bidding document of the headquarters came down, Tengfei Group did not have any mature models for reference, and could only expand the fuselage, add an engine, and redesign the air intake tract on the basis of the first version of the Jianjiao 7-MAX released in Thailand on the basis of the new requirements of the headquarters for carrier-based fighters.
In addition, the entire aircraft adopts static instability technology to increase the maneuverability of the aircraft, but it must be completed with a precise flight control system.
Then it was to strengthen the landing gear structure and add a tail landing hook.
All that remains is to inherit the side strip wings, double delta wings and single vertical tail of the first version of the Jianjiao 7-MAX.
It is no exaggeration to say that the new carrier-based aircraft scheme is a double-engine upgraded version of the first version of Jianjiao 7-MAX, and it is precisely because of this that the internal code name of Tengfei Group will be named "True Dragon II.", corresponding to the internal code name of Jianjiao 7-MAX "True Dragon".
However, due to the unique advantages of Tengfei Group in high-end aviation materials and advanced manufacturing technology, although an engine has been added, the total structure of the whole is not much larger than the latest improvement of Jianjiao 7-MAX "True Dragon".
Length: 14.52 meters
Wingspan: 8.6 metres
Height: 4.8 meters
Wingspan area: 25.74 square meters
Empty weight: 6652 kg
Maximum take-off weight: 12834 kg
Two small bypass ratio turbofan engines with afterburner produced by Tengfei Group are adopted, with a thrust of 2.8 tons and an afterburner thrust of 4. [ ] 2 tons.
Together, the two engines can give the "True Dragon II." a maximum thrust of more than 8 tons, and even in normal flight, it can provide more than 5.5 tons of continuous thrust.
That's enough for a light aircraft with an empty weight of 6.6 tons.
It is important to know that the maximum thrust of the F-20 "Tiger Shark" of the same class is only 7.5 tons, and the maximum thrust of the IDF fighter produced on a certain island is only 6.4 tons.
Therefore, mastering the core technology of aero engines is so arrogant, even if the experience is poor, the design level is low, and the high-level engine is used, the bricks can also soar to the sky.
Obviously, "True Dragon II" is the product of this simple and crude logic of Tengfei Group.
Thanks to the power of the engine, the maximum flight speed of the "True Dragon II" reached Mach 2.0, the maximum range was 3,200 km, the combat radius was 910 km, the climb rate was 260 m/s, and the weapon load was 1,023 kg to the air and 3,254 kg to the ground.
In terms of data, "True Dragon II" is a very good light carrier-based fighter.
