Chapter 1097 Can You Fly Supersound?
For Chen Geng's words, Anthony Johnson has only two words: hehe......
When did the training planes need such a high specification? Aren't our British "Eagle" and American T-45 based on the "Eagle" type both jet advanced training planes? But look at what the specifications of these two training planes look like?
Well, there is also the K8 training aircraft that you have just successfully developed in Huaxia for a few years, as a jet intermediate training aircraft, don't you know the basic performance indicators of that guy? The maximum weapon payload capacity of 720 kg and a total of 5 weapon paypoints are almost five times the gap compared with your Yak-130B!
However, since Chen Geng insisted that the Yak-130 is a training aircraft, of course he would not be stupid to make it clear with the other party - he was just helping Mr. Sadiq Hoyle to fight the front station, just do this job well, as for the rest, is it fun to offend a richest man?
..............................
The fleet of 4 Yak-130 and 4 K8 trainer planes successfully arrived at a military airport designated by the Turkish and Egyptian government.
The diplomatic system is still very powerful, under their active coordination, the flight route and the landing airports and alternate airports along the way are properly arranged, although the Americans are not without bad things, but the road is still very smooth, the only small accident is that these countries along the way after hearing that the Huaxia fleet is to participate in the bidding of the Turkish and Egyptian military aircraft, they are very curious, the military of several countries to the Chinese diplomatic system put forward requirements, hoping to let the fleet stay in their country for a few days, they also have some interest in these two aircraft-- It's hard to say whether you are really going to buy it, but the military of these countries is still very curious about the Yak-130, a new generation of jet advanced training aircraft jointly developed by the Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Group and the Soviet Union: I heard that this aircraft also has the combat capability of an entry-level fighter? This is very good, it can be used as a training aircraft on weekdays, saving training costs and flight costs, and if necessary, it can also perform some low-intensity combat missions, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Because of such a factor, the route that was originally planned to be completed in three days was flown for 12 days, and the extra time was used to communicate with the military of the countries along the route.
The Turkish and Egyptian government and military are actually very curious about the Yak-130, after hearing that the military of the countries along the route has a very good evaluation of this aircraft, as early as a few days before the plane arrived in Turkey, they communicated with Chen Geng, hoping to visit the two aircraft after the arrival of the fleet.
"This plane...... So big?" Looking at the huge plane in front of them, the officials of Tue were a little incredulous: "It's all as big as the MiG-21, right?"
This was not a question asked by Chen Geng, but a question posed by an official of the Turkish and Egyptian government to military officials.
"It's a little smaller than the MiG-21," the Turkish and Egyptian Air Force is familiar with the Chinese version of the MiG-21: the J-7, and has a lot of its own equipment, explaining to officials in the government system: "But the wingspan is wider than that of the MiG-21." β
"Oh oh......" The government officials were curious, "So what's the difference?"
The Turkish and Egyptian military still did a lot of homework, and when they heard this, they explained to their colleagues: "The difference is that in the case of almost the same thrust, this aircraft is thicker and has greater resistance to the wind, so the maximum flight speed of the MiG-21 and J-7 can exceed Mach 2.2, but the maximum thrust of this aircraft is only Mach 1.4, which is still the information provided by COMAC, in fact, whether it can fly at this speed remains to be tested." β
But these words misled the officials of the Turkish and Egyptian governments: "Do you think this plane can't fly Mach 1.4?"
"I can't say that," said an official of the Turkish and Egyptian military, saying that Lao Tzu had not said so: "We can only say that we have never seen this aircraft fly at such a high speed with our own eyes, except for those two-seat trainer/fighter aircraft developed on the basis of fighter jets, there is no full-time trainer aircraft in the world that has such a flight speed, but we also don't think that Mr. FernΓ‘ndez would lie about this kind of thing, this is easy to verify." β
I see!
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and the officials of the Turkish and Egyptian governments immediately understood what their colleagues meant: these guys in the military have doubts about whether the Yak-130 can fly to 1.4, the maximum speed of Mach, but they are not very adamant that it must not fly at this speed, it is just a normal question.
They immediately found Chen Geng and asked him, "Mr. Fernandez, can your plane really fly to Mach 1.4 with a full load?"
These guys are digging a hole for themselves.
Chen Geng immediately shook his head: "The Yak-130 can fly to a flight speed of Mach 1.4, and the Yakovlev Design Bureau once flew to a maximum flight speed of Mach 1.45 when the Yakovlev Design Bureau conducted a flight test of the flight envelope of this aircraft, but this speed is the speed that flies out without any weapons." β
"The speed without weapons?" The officials of the Turkish and Egyptian governments suddenly began to pick and choose: "Then what does this flight speed mean?"
Chen Geng was not used to these ill-intentioned attitudes, and asked with a smile: "The American F-18 'Hornet' carrier-based fighter cannot fly supersonic speed even when it is full of weapons, do you think that the supersonic flight capability of the Hornet is meaningless?"
What the?
"Hornet" can't fly supersonic with full weapons?
The officials in Turkey and Egypt were stunned, and their first reaction was disbelief: what are you kidding, the F-18 "Hornet" is a new generation of the US Navy's main carrier-based fighter, and you actually say that this aircraft cannot fly supersonic when fully loaded?
ββββββββββββ
PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

This joke is not made like this, is it? What nonsense is that the "Hornet" cannot fly supersonic when it is fully armed?
