"The General Armament Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense have studied and decided to limit the second-generation aircraft projects that are currently underway, and will not continue to invest in new production projects of second-generation aircraft in the future. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It was Tu Jida who spoke, and as the chief teacher of the panda project, of course he had to give the people of Xifei a reassuring pill first.

In other words, the current domestic second-generation aircraft fleet will not continue to expand, and new second-generation aircraft projects will not be approved. All the country's resources will be invested in the research and development and production of third-generation aircraft. ”

"The J-8 fighter, the J-8 II fighter, the J-8 II fighter, the super 7 project of Chengfei, and even your own J-7 flying west, the resources will be transferred to the Panda project. ”

After Tu Jida said this, the people who flew west were a little difficult to accept. The J-7 project has been running for four or five years, and the Xifei side has invested a huge amount of energy and resources, so how can it be said that it will give up?

"Chief Tu, the J-7 is not a second-generation aircraft like the J-8, and our westward flight is in accordance with the standards of the third-generation aircraft......"

"The J-7 is a repetition for the Panda fighter, and after the localization of the Panda, it will only be embarrassingly a foil. Tu Jida said unceremoniously: "The same use of turbofan Jiuqinling engine, the gap between the performance of the J-7 and the F-14 is very obvious." Continuing the J-7 project will create a situation in which the engine will compete with the Panda fighters. And even if the J-7 project can be carried out, Xifei is really confident that it can meet the common needs of the Air Force and Navy at the same time?"

Faced with Tu Jida's problem, the engineers and leading cadres of Xifei couldn't help but look at each other, and countless horses rushed by in their hearts.

To be honest, the West Flying J-7 project is actually quite boring.

The birth of the Jian-7 can be described as full of difficulties, and there is even a tendency to become a channel for the air force and navy to compete.

Because the J-7 project was established to develop a fighter-bomber that can meet the needs of the Air Force and the Navy at the same time. However, the navy and air force are faced with different strategic environments, and the requirements for aircraft are also different. It is necessary to solve the needs of the two through one model, which seems to be beyond the design ability of Xifei.

Judging from the original design plan, in order to defend the Nansha Islands, the navy wanted an anti-ship attack bomber with a long range, a large bomb load, and good air retention performance.

The Air Force's requirements for the J-7 are to be able to lick the ground in normal times, have good survivability, take off for short distances, provide front-line support, overcome the harsh battlefield environment, and be able to fight with enemy fighters.

It is not only required to have good low-altitude performance and combat capability under complex meteorological conditions at night, but also to undertake the task of attacking in depth in the campaign, to raid the enemy's targets in depth in the campaign, to take off from the second-line base to carry out the mission, and to have the capability of self-defense and air combat.

The requirements of the two are not at odds with each other, but at least they are quite difficult to unify.

In the process of research and development, in order to achieve the technical direction of the J-7, the Navy and Air Force are like two king crabs to pinch any problem to put pressure on Xifei.

The most thrilling one was when the Air Force asked the Jian-7 to conduct a low-altitude penetration in the mountainous area.

The fly-by-wire stabilization system of the J-7 itself has not yet been dealt with, and the design of the wing load of the verification aircraft has been solved. Judging from the initial design conditions, the J-7 does not have such combat capability at all.

However, in the face of the strong demands of the Air Force -- to make it clear that it is an aircraft jointly designed by the two companies, why can't you meet the requirements of our Air Force?

Forced to fly west, he had no choice but to agree to the request of the air force and conduct a test flight of low-altitude penetration in mountainous areas.

As a result, the vertical tail was lost in the middle of the flight, and in the end, it was all up to the test pilots to fly the plane back.

After this kind of thing happened a few times, even Xifei himself felt a little tired.

Historically, it was the Air Force that was the last to withdraw from the J-7 project. The Navy fully covered the research and development costs of the J-7, which can be regarded as pushing the project forward.

At this time, Xifei obviously has not handled the relationship well.

Tu Jida saw that the people from the Xifei Design Institute did not refute, and hit the railway while it was hot: "All the operational requirements of the J-7 can be fully realized if they are replaced by Panda fighters with our own avionics." Grumman actually has a 'quick strike' upgrade to the F-14. This simple modification will enable the F-14 to transform from an air defense mission fighter to a fighter-bomber by adding navigation and targeting pods and adding a ground attack mode to the APG-71 radar. And this system, we have obtained quite a wealth of technical information through a certain channel. ”

"Even in the future, after we have eaten all the technology of the Panda fighter, there is a new scheme for reference. For example, it can be replaced with a new high-thrust engine to obtain supersonic cruise capability. The digital fly-by-wire control technology increases the control wing area and the edge strip of the leading edge of the wing sleeve, which will make the range of the Panda fighter a further step. Even the addition of forward-looking infrared and terrain-tracking radar pods, infrared search, tracking/TV camera systems for the Super Panda. ”

"The F-14 has a lot of potential for us to tap, and our Panda localization project is by no means a simple indiscriminate imitation of the F-14. With the help of Grumman, what we hope to achieve is a 'new build' of the F-14 in China." Not willing to be repetitive and imitate simply, but on the basis of the F-14 platform, to create our own Panda fighter. ”

"Super Panda Project. ”

General Manager Chang Chang of Xifei, who was sitting in the main seat, was silent for a moment after Tu Jida's speech, and then asked in a deep voice: "Since Chief Tu thinks that the Panda fighter has such a broad prospect, is it sure that the Navy and Air Force will agree to purchase the Panda fighter, or how much can be purchased?"

Since Tu Jida has played the card that replaces J H 7, he will have to face the same problem as J H 7. How can the navy and air force, which are already more energetic, reflect their presence in the panda project?

Tu Jida squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Mr. Chang's problem, I think if it can't be solved, Xifei won't believe me so easily!"

"It's good, in fact, our panda project dares to boast about this Haikou, but there really is no three, two, three, how dare to go to Liangshan! If we want to talk about settling the contradictions between the navy and the air force, this is the general assembly and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and I am afraid that they will not dare to pack tickets. But do you know who is the biggest investor in our Panda project? Of course, the General Armament Department is the big investor, but Mr. Hu Wenhai and Mr. Hu of the ST Group are the biggest unilateral investors. The Su-27 trade, which the Air Force is waiting for, is inseparable from Hu Wenhai's dollars. The 'civilian ship' that the Navy sank on Chigua Reef was originally an asset of ST Group. The new destroyer of the Navy, the power system, hehe-"

Tu Jida pointed to Wu Daguan beside him: "You still have to rely on the gas turbines produced by the Heavy Industrial Power Import and Export Company, and Wu Lao is a member of the board of directors of this company." Both the navy and the air force, to be honest, want to sell Hu Wenhai a little face. ”

"But I can say responsibly that Mr. Hu's most important project is always the localization of our panda. ”

After Tu Jida finished speaking, he looked at Chang Chang, the general manager of Xifei, with a smile on his face, and almost wrote two words on his face - "rich".

For the Panda project team, which has an annual development fund of at least 200 million yuan, compared with Xifei, Shen Fei and Chengfei, the "poor people" who have to see the finished product in a project of tens of millions are indeed so wide that they don't know where to go.

As for the number of purchases, Mr. Chang should not be worried. I think that the country's complete suspension of the production of second-generation aircraft, as well as the research and development of such models as the J-7 and Chao-7, are already very revealing. ”

Tu Jida swore that "the only platform for the heavy third-generation aircraft that is expected to be put into production in the nineties is the Panda fighter. Even if the J-10 project is not affected, as an air superiority aircraft, it will not be able to replace the position of the Panda fighter. It is even more unlikely that China's third-generation aircraft fleet will completely rely on the import of the Su-27, so both the Navy and the Air Force will inevitably purchase a large number of Panda fighters. With China's current military needs, two or three hundred Panda fighters are just the foundation. As long as its ground attack system is overcome, it will not be difficult for the subsequent upgrade models to continue to accumulate more than 500 aircraft. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, as long as Xifei can win the Panda localization project, not only will it not be a problem to eat in the next 20 years, but it will definitely be able to occupy the most dazzling position in China's aviation industry!"

Manager Chang of Xifei lowered his head and pondered, if it is really as Tu Jida said, then there should be only two domestic fighter projects left.

I heard that this year, the general secretary just went to work from the magic capital to the imperial capital, and the first military industrial unit to inspect was the 611 institute in Chengdu.

In front of the leaders of the General Assembly and the Air Force, the elder personally preserved the status of the "No. 10 Project." Some of the Air Force leaders who were raised by the F-14 and Su-27 even said a lot of heavy words.

The R&D budget of Project 10 not only has to be replenished, but even has a tendency to increase significantly. The two projects of Project 10 and Panda Localization also have a tendency to gradually merge in the step of entering the R&D and production of subsystems.

As a third-generation aircraft, the development of fly-by-wire systems has certain commonalities. In terms of radar, the Panda and J-10 are also expected to be equipped with pulsed Doppler radar. In terms of power, it is obvious that Tu Jida and the two Wu Lao do not intend to hang themselves on the TF41 like this. The follow-up Panda upgrade model should be looking for an engine with better performance. Even the skin, structure, weapon system, and communication system of the two aircraft can also learn from each other.

The two national projects jointly invest in a part of the basic R&D and production capacity, and the developed products can meet the common needs of the two.

Combined with all the resources invested by both Panda and J-10, this will be a big project of at least 15 billion to 20 billion!
