"This is impossible! The Soviet MiG-1.44 is a stealth fighter! Not to mention whether China has such a technological foundation and strength, China cannot keep up with the funds alone. The most advanced fighter of the Soviet Union, why should China cooperate?" Alex does not think that this is the Soviet MiG 1.44.

It is the same fighter as the new generation of fighters that are still in the technical verification stage to replace the F-15.

Why should China be involved?

"It's not impossible. The USSR lacked research funding, and China lacked advanced fighters. All along, the main fighters used by the Chinese Air Force have been MiG-series ......," Jonathan firmly believed.

This kind of possibility is not nothing.

China can get the Soviet engine, the super -7A appeared in Nanyuan Airport 5, in this workshop, I didn't see a single one last time, and this time I not only saw one parked on the airport runway, but even one was conducting a ground trial run.

If there is such maneuverability, does China need the United States to help improve the design of the J-8II?

"The data presented by the Chinese side is very suspicious, the RD-33 has a non-afterburner thrust of 50 kN, an afterburner thrust of 81.4 kN, and a thrust weight of 8,300 kg, while the Chinese personnel introduced that the maximum take-off weight of the Super 7A is 7,900 kg, and the power is so strong, and there is still a lot of surplus, don't the Chinese designers know?

Often, the maximum take-off weight of a fighter exceeds the maximum thrust provided by the fighter engine.

The MiG-29, a fighter that has been sold, allows the United States to master some basic parameters, and is also equipped with two RD-33 engines, 11,000 kg in the air, and a maximum take-off weight of 20,000 kg.

There is only one RD-33 engine for the Super -7A, and the maximum take-off weight is only 7900 kg, for what?

"With such a large amount of power leftover, coupled with the lift of the canard wings, it is not surprising at all to make such a cobra maneuver, and even their flight close to the ground is also due to the strong power support...... Jonathan analyzed from a technical level, and the more he analyzed, the more people felt that his point of view was correct.

Capers and the others sank.

You know, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-six Plans" have been played by Chinese for thousands of years. "Alex always felt that the possibility was not too great.

China did not have a foundation, and it was impossible for the Soviet Union to provide China with the most advanced technology.

"It's not impossible, only our technicians analyze these fighters ......," Jonathan now believes that the fighter in China's hands must be purchased. "With the purchase of this fighter, the performance of the twin-engine fighter can be analyzed according to the performance research on the display......"

"To purchase such large quantities, congressional authorization is required. "Cappers is really ready to buy.

He didn't see the Chinese fighter plane that had not yet had time to evacuate, and he didn't have such a big determination.

"That's not a problem, the whole purchase, even according to the Chinese side's requirements, is only $1.4 billion, which can be spent from the special defense budget, without congressional authorization, as long as His Excellency the president approves it." Jonathan said.

Americans are really nervous by the Chinese.

It is no wonder that the Chinese technicians are not urging them to speed up the progress of the J-8II, but are seriously studying the basic things such as the design process of the American fighter and the management in the production process.

With the technical help of the Soviets, naturally there was no such worry.

No wonder the Chinese top brass does not think that the possibility of a war is too great.

When the Americans secretly scolded the Chinese for being cunning and the Soviet bastards were too shameless, Xie Kai and the others were taking Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan and others to another inconspicuous workshop.

Outside the workshop, there is a sign of the carpentry workshop.

In the entire workshop, there were no carpentry tools in sight, not even the workers, not carpenters, all of them were scientific researchers in white coats.

"Is this the Super-7B?" looked at the lonely fighter in the middle of the airport that was very similar to the Super-7A, and even the fighter that the Americans saw.

"Yes, the real Super -7B, a fighter prepared for our Air Force. Xie Kai nodded and said.

"It's not much different from that one, except that the air intake has been changed from the belly to the sides, and the front canard wings seem to be smaller? By the way, there are a pair of extra triangular tails in the tail?" Li Mingshan asked puzzled.

Everyone smiled bitterly.

It is true that there is not much difference in the aerodynamic layout, as long as the fighter with the canard wing layout is used in the world, the aerodynamic layout will not be too large.

"Chief, the layout of the canard wing and the large delta wing is really similar. This fighter was originally only going to change the single-engine Super -7A into a twin-engine, so as to increase the bomb load and range. Huo Haiyuan introduced the source of the super-7B.

The Super-7 project was originally responsible for some technical verification of the No. 10 project, plus the technical foundation of the J-9 in Xiama, otherwise, it would not have succeeded so quickly.

The entire project was created by almost the top team of aviation design experts in the country.

Each of the five prototypes that have been produced is different, and it is verified after the design of other fighter projects is completed, and then improved after verification, and then the prototype is produced and repeated until the finalization is different.

With sufficient financial support, the design team began to manufacture prototypes after the basic plan was come out, improved the design while producing, and then continued production.

Pakistan's $250 million funding turned into a special fund for the entire project.

"How is this performance?" Long Yaohua is not a professional, he just wants to see how the performance is, "Is the cost high?"

He regretted it when he asked if it was too expensive.

Is there a low price for the things that 404 made?

"The specific performance has to wait for the prototype to be produced and assembled, and the test will be carried out after the first flight...... If two RD-33 engines are installed, according to the results of supercomputer simulations, the empty weight of the fighter will not exceed 10 tons, and the maximum take-off weight will reach about 22 tons...... "Huo Haiyuan said proudly.

The eyes of Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and the others all lit up.

The fighter does not exceed 10 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 22 tons, what is the extra 12 tons for?

Fuel weight!

Bomb load!

The Air Force no longer has to worry that the fighters will not fly far, the combat radius is too short, and they will have to return to the air within a few minutes of liftoff due to lack of fuel.

The war is not a child, everyone fights for a while and then stops, and says to each other, don't fight first, I'm hungry, go back and eat something, and then fight......

"Can it really be achieved?" Li Mingshan was a little unconvinced, "Can there still be this kind of maneuverability of the Super 7A?"

"Theoretically achievable. Specifically, depending on the situation after the test flight, even if it cannot be achieved at the beginning, it should be achievable to improve and improve. Xie Kai didn't have a bottom.

From the very beginning to the present, the Super-7B has modified a lot of things.

But most of the things are based on the design of J-10, J-20 and other fighters, and many technologies have not yet been made.

In this way, although the difficulties encountered in the research and development process are not small, in the research and development process, there is no need to conduct a large number of tests and comparisons, and you can directly study in the direction of the required technology, saving a lot of scientific research funds and time.

Otherwise, the super-7A could not enter the stage of small-batch trial production so quickly.

"Didn't you do it jointly with Pakistan?" Long Yaohua remembered that 404 was for project funding, but Pakistanis were also brought in.

The main equipment used by the Air Force is also equipped abroad, which is not a good thing.

Even if Pakistan is a brotherly country.

"Chief, this is just a verification machine. Our real project is too technically difficult and can only be done step by step. Huo Haiyuan was a little embarrassed.

The stealth fighter is too sci-fi.

Long Yao's brows furrowed, and Li Mingshan's face was not very good-looking.

"You have to eat a bite to eat, Ruth has to take it step by step, and what you want to do from a high house will eventually become a disaster. Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai, Zheng Yucheng and the others.

This gave him the feeling that he had returned to the original era of how bold people were and how prolific the land was.

These people of 404, inflated.

"Don't worry, chief, we're not going to fool around. Just going in that direction. The next step is to make this thing a full-motion differential, and the angle can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the flight attitude...... and the double vertical tail in the back is not?

The model in front of them is not their ultimate goal.

Except for Huo Haiyuan, who knew the inside story, even Xiong Hongyuan and the others were dumbfounded.

The people of 404 are indeed inflated very much, these things seem to be just a small change, but how much energy and how much money does it take?

"Do you know the technical difficulty here?" Long Yaohua asked helplessly, and then specially Huo Haiyuan, with a reproachful face, "They don't understand technology, they are foolish, and you don't stop you from engaging in technology?"

Huo Haiyuan was more wronged than Dou E in his heart.

These things are all R&D requirements issued by 404, and he, the chief engineer, can't help it.

"Chief, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Huo. We got their preliminary plan for the MiG 1.44 from the Soviet side, and the new generation is engaged in stealth fighters, and the United States is also engaged in this, their stealth attack aircraft F-117 has been put into service, and the stealth fighter is being demonstrated...... The technology is not as good as theirs, at least our research direction cannot be stagnant because the foundation is too poor. Equipment generation, trial production generation, pre-research generation, exploration generation, that design, can be regarded as an exploration generation......," Xie Kai explained.

Stealth fighters, that's a must.

He just wants to see a fighter like the J-20 and come out in advance.

The US imperialists dare to show off their might in the small pond of the South China Sea again, and the J-20 that came out in advance flew over their aircraft carrier to scare them to death!

"How many years are you going to use it, how much money?"

"No matter the time, no matter the cost!" Zheng Yucheng said proudly.
