Chapter 1192 Albatross Fighter!
After more than ten seconds, the albatross fighter came to a steady stop a few meters above the ground, at which time the engine and lift fan stopped working, and the rope holding the fighter in place at this time.
At this time, the hall erupted in loud applause!
Yang Jie stood up and applauded, and then shook hands with everyone with a smile.
The success of the first verification test of the Albatross fighter jet's vertical landing technology was a great success and the team that was able to participate in the project was very excited.
Half an hour later, Yang Jie also came to this test platform, at this time the albatross fighter had been put on the ground by the traction system, and the staff had untied the ropes fixed on the fuselage.
The yellow-skinned machine looks very beautiful in appearance, the nose is also a diamond-shaped design, the cockpit is droplet-shaped, and the special coating glows with magnificent color shine in the sun.
Yang Jie also specially boarded the cockpit of this fighter plane to experience it carefully.
This fighter uses a large number of Snaphawk parts, and the design style of the cockpit is very similar to that of the Snaphawk fighter.
Of course, this fighter also uses a large number of titanium matrix composites and aluminum matrix composites to reduce the dead weight of the fighter as much as possible, and the empty weight of the entire fighter is strictly controlled to less than 10 tons.
In order to reduce the weight, the design team also hollowed out the mind and cut out the various subsystems little by little.
Of course, the most technical content is this vertical take-off and landing system, including the main engine, the entire power system can add up to a total hovering thrust of 18 tons, which means that this albatross fighter can carry weapons and ammunition for vertical landing.
The maximum thrust of this engine can reach 20 tons after opening afterburner, and the thrust without afterburner is at the level of 14 tons, the second-generation core engine developed by Yonghan Aviation Technology Company can be said to be very powerful, the temperature of the combustion chamber has reached a very amazing height, and at the same time, it has reached a very balanced state in terms of superalloy materials, processing technology, air intake and fuel control, so it can achieve such a strong performance.
At present, Yonghan Aviation Technology Company is also conducting a large number of verification tests and research and development of adaptive cycle engines and more electrification technologies for high-energy microwave ignition devices on the second-generation core aircraft, which are all prepared for the upgrade of Albatross fighters and Snaphawk fighters.
In addition, because this fighter does not pursue complete stealth, it has a lot of weapon pylons and can carry a large number of weapons and ammunition with stealth capabilities.
Of course, this albatross fighter is also equipped with a lot of photodetectors, and its battlefield perception ability is not much worse than that of H-10 and J-15, Snaphawk fighters and shadow drones, and even more advanced in some aspects.
Because the Albatross fighter was developed late, it has the advantage of being a latecomer in technical equipment, and many new technical equipment has been given priority to the use of this fighter. 56
In order to counter Eagle Sauce's stealth fighter, this albatross fighter fuselage is equipped with meter-wave phased array radar in multiple directions, these antennas use conformal antennas, which have a long detection range, reaching hundreds of kilometers, and can be used as an early warning aircraft for air alert and guidance, indicating the target behind, or preparing for precise tracking.
This is Huaxing Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. to the radar research institute of the electric technology group company, the newly designed meter-wave UHF band three-coordinate radar, the use of advanced two-dimensional digital active phased array system, long distance, high measurement accuracy, anti-jamming ability is also very strong, absolutely capable of stealth fighters to appear.
Rabbit has been developing on this radar, and now the technical equipment has matured, and Huaxing Aviation Technology Company naturally wants to use it.
This radar can detect stealth fighters and track and lock them with the cooperation of active phased array millimeter-wave radar and photodetectors carried by albatross fighters.
It can be said that the Albatross fighter is the first fighter equipped with meter-wave phased array radar, and in order to do this, Huaxing Aviation Technology Company has to add more power to the Albatross fighter, because the meter-wave radar is very power-hungry.
Although Huaxing Technology Group is first-class in power devices and power management technology, more avionics equipment is constantly stuffed into fighter jets, and the demand for electricity is increasing.
However, fortunately, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. is very powerful in power technology, and has the ability to squeeze more power out of the engine, and at the same time, it has made great breakthroughs in fuel cell system and battery technology and power management technology, which leaves a relatively large space while meeting the power needs, because Yang Jie also wants to use the laser weapon system in the future.
Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has invested a lot of R&D funds in electrification technology, which has reached the world's advanced level, which is also one of the technical advantages.
Yang Jie is also very happy that the albatross fighter has been successfully tested in this technical verification test, although there are more tests waiting for this fighter in the future, but he is also very confident.
Da Mao's Yak-141 began to be formally designed in 1975 in the last century, but due to financial constraints and delays in the development of the engine, the first prototype did not begin to fly until 1987, which took more than ten years.
However, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has tinkered with this albatross vertical take-off and landing fighter prototype in a few years, and the speed can be said to be extremely fast.
In fact, the research and development cost of this fighter over the past few years is not very much, because many technical products are not specifically developed for this fighter, and many of them are ready-made technologies that can be used when they are taken.
The albatross fighter developed by Huaxing Aviation Technology Company is an internal project of the company, and the main funds are paid out of their own pockets.
In particular, the Navy took the lead in bidding for vertical take-off and landing fighters, with a purchase volume of 70 aircraft, and the Air Force did not have much urgency in this regard, but the purchase volume was also 40 aircraft.
The Navy needs so many VTOL fighters mainly for use on several large amphibious landing ships and aircraft carriers under construction, and this Albatross fighter is in line with the urgent needs of the Navy.
Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. develops albatross fighter mainly for export, and Yang Jie still hopes that this fighter can compete with Eagle Sauce's F35 fighter.
