"The front canard layout is the aerodynamic shape verification of Project 10. Huo Haiyuan replied with some concern.

The Super -7A itself undertakes some technical verification of Project 10, although it is an advanced training aircraft, which is given in the later market positioning. This is actually a fighter in itself.

It's just that for fighters, the bomb load of the Super -7A is too small, and the performance of other light fighters is not as good.

As a high-level trainer, it is competent enough.

"The air intake is also a technical verification aircraft of the J-10, right?" Xie Kai asked.

The tail is all large delta wing layout, and there is no differential tail of the J-10, which will make people feel that it is not the J-10.

This is also a helpless thing, the J-10, the first self-designed J-10 fighter in China, left too deep an impression on Xie Kai.

That is the real J-10, the pillar fighter of the Chinese Air Force, Xie Kai doesn't want to make the J-10 not the familiar fighter in his memory because of his appearance.

"Yes. The J-9 scheme adopted in the tail section performed well during the test flight. It is only used in aerial combat, and its performance is much higher than that of the J-7. The only bad thing is that the combat radius is only 500 kilometers, and the time in the air is too short. Huo Haiyuan introduced.

There was only one of them, and Xie Kai looked around this fighter plane that he felt was not serious several times, no matter how he looked at it, he felt weird. In particular, the canard wing to the large delta wing at the back, with a flap connection in the middle, looks like a whole.

In the flap part, there are quite a few protrusions.

There is also a big gap with the 3D model of the final plan of the J-9 that I once saw on the Internet.

"Let's go to the production hall and have a look. Xie Kai proposed.

The RD-33 engine consumes a lot of fuel, he knows it.

Equipped with two such engines, the MiG-29 is relatively outstanding in performance, but the range is too short and the combat radius is too small, making this fighter known as the king of short legs.

Huo Haiyuan is naturally not indispensable, this one here is only used for static pressure testing.

Now that the funds are sufficient, the research and development speed is naturally much faster while improving the design scheme and producing at the same time.

What's more, the original J-9 has already built a prototype.

When Xie Kai followed Huo Haiyuan to the assembly workshop, there were actually several fighters in the entire workshop.

The disassembled Qiang-5 I saw before can no longer see where it has gone, and it is estimated that it is undergoing a test flight.

Unlike last time, the workshop was densely packed with fighter planes, and the production tasks seemed to be saturated.

The J-6, J-7, and Super -7A can all be seen in the same assembly workshop.

"Isn't the J-6 already out of production, why is it still in production?" Xie Kai was puzzled.

He didn't expect that he could still see the J-6 master in the workshop, and it was impossible for the country to produce it, right?

"Isn't this your order? Ask to transform a batch of retired J-6s and upgrade their combat capabilities. Xiong Hongyuan walked over from the side, he was waiting for Xie Kai and them here, "The modification work is not easy. ”

"Ours?" Xie Kai asked Wang Guilin.

He really didn't know.

Transforming into a drone is really not a problem.

But this cost is too high, and the performance will not increase much, and even reduce the performance due to the increase in the front electronic equipment.

"Over there in Tanzania. Wang Guilin said, "The main thing is to increase the ability to attack the ground." ”

"It's still bought over there, what do they want to do?" Xie Kai was even more puzzled, Liao Dong hadn't mentioned it to him.

"You think too much, it's the Tanzanian government that the government uses to replenish the air force. Although it lags behind in other places, in Africa, it is still relatively advanced. Wang Guilin explained.

Xie Kai didn't bother to care about this.

When he first promoted these weapons, he introduced the J-6 as the main way to seize air supremacy, and forced the five to lick the ground, but the fifth master was already old and did not carry enough ammunition.

"Where is the new batch of Super-7A?" Xie Kai didn't pay too much attention to the transformation of the sixth master.

Changing to a drone, after all, the cost is still too high, and the price is too unbearable for target shooting, especially for the Air Force, which can't afford it now.

"4 planes, which are almost finished, are left with some instruments that have not been installed. Xiong Hongyuan took the lead and walked towards the end of the workshop.

Next to it is the model workshop, a year ago, when Xie Kai came over, the Super -7A was still kept secret in the workshop next door, and now it is produced at the same time with J-7 and other models.

4 are longer than the J-7 next to them, much taller, the wings are even larger, and the fuselage gives people a slender feeling of the Super -7A looks much taller.

"One doesn't look good, but several of them look much more comfortable when they are put together. Xie Kai said, "It's just that this thing is still a little behind." ”

"As an advanced trainer, it's not lagging behind. Xiong Hongyuan comforted Xie Kai, "As long as it can be used appropriately, it is the most suitable." ”

Xie Kai didn't say much either.

Listening to their introductions, after learning that these light fighters were mainly equipped with 404 Thunder-1 air-to-air missiles modified from avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, Xie Kai didn't know what to say.

"Is there a ground attack capability?"

"It can hold two 500-kilogram bombs or four 250-type aerial bombs...... Huo Haiyuan said, "and the current bomb load can reach 1,600 kilograms." ”

"Yes, yes, much stronger than the 500 kilograms of the sixth master. Xie Kai nodded, "It's much stronger than the J-7 master." ”

Xie Kai could only comfort himself like this.

Compared with the real Thunder, the weapon carrying capacity of the Super -7A is weak.

You must know that the external capacity of the Thunder Dragon FC-1 can reach 3.6 tons, plus the internal aerial artillery shells, the bomb load is more than 3.8 tons.

"If we change the aerodynamic layout and replace the materials with lighter parts, the bomb load can be increased a lot, and the performance can also ......be increased," Huo Haiyuan heard that something was wrong with Xie Kai's words.

It's not that we don't work hard.

"The cost will increase a lot, right?" asked Wang Guilin.

Huo Haiyuan nodded busily.

"Trainers, that's all. If you expect this thing to fight, it's probably very hanging. Wang Guilin sighed.

The Super-7A was originally a contingency plan.

Anyway, now 80 have been sold, and with the investment of Pakistanis, there will be no loss.

"What about the super-7B?" Xie Kai also knows that it is already very good to have such a result in a short period of time, if it were not for the J-9 for so many years, and some of the technologies of the No. 10 project have also been used, it would have been impossible to enter the link of small-batch trial production in only two years since the project was established.

"The prototype for the static pressure test next to it is being assembled, and the changes are significant. Huo Haiyuan said.

"That's the top technical achievement of our two families, Xie Kai, you kid won't move your eyes when you see it!" Xiong Hongyuan said with some pride, "This will be better than any domestic fighter, as long as avionics keeps up, it will even be better than J-82." ”

Xie Kai looked at Xiong Hongyuan with some surprise, the person in charge of 132 said this, what do you mean?

"Better than Project Ten?"

"How do you say that? This is different from Project 10, and it takes a different path. Xiong Hongyuan was a little embarrassed, "You will know when you go to see it." ”

Xie Kai began to be curious.

A model of the Super-7B, he has seen it.

Has the aerodynamic layout of that thing changed? Or has the function been added or something?

Otherwise, where did Xiong Hongyuan get the confidence to say this!

It's not that Xie Kai doesn't believe it, but the domestic foundation is like this, the design experience is not rich, and the reserves of the aerodynamic layout are not enough.

However, when he saw the prototype of the new Super -7B in front of him, the whole person was like a lightning strike, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "J-20?"

"What J-20?"

Wang Guilin and the others looked at Xie Kai suspiciously.

Is this thing so shocking?

"Not the J-20. When Xie Kai took a good look at the appearance of the Super 7B, he shook his head in disbelief.

How could it be the J-20, the kind of fighter that did not lag behind the world that took a lot of effort to build, and it is impossible to appear in this era.

But the shape is too similar.

Single-seat twin engine, fixed double dying, although the front canard wing has made some changes, it is still very similar to the super-7A, the front canard wing is still connected by the side strip wing between the rear triangle main wing, so the rear delta wing is not as serious as the super-7A, and it is easy to be shot down.

Behind the main wing, a differential tail wing was used.

What made Xie Kai admit his mistake was not anything else, but the design of the entire fighter fuselage, which was no longer the smooth transition of other fighters, but sharp edges and corners.

"Through our research, such a shape design can effectively reduce the reflection cross section of radar waves. Huo Haiyuan knew the importance of Xie Kai's speech in 404.

Seeing that Xie Kai stared at the appearance of this Super-7B and didn't speak, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, and he was also a little panicked in his heart.

For the design of such a fighter, they changed too much.

Especially the shape of the aerodynamic layout, at the beginning, no one thought that it would be like this, if you want to do it on the basis of the J-9, you have to take into account the technical verification of some No. 10 projects, the two design teams constantly discussed, modified, tested, and then it became like this.

404, as an investor, if you don't agree to such a plan, even if it is really good, you will eventually be stillborn and stop at the current level.

"Okay, good!" Xie Kai became excited. "The canard wing in front, is it a full-motion design?"

"It's not. The corners of Huo Haiyuan's mouth were a little cramped.

"Is the tail at the back fully moving, and is the edge between the wing and the canard wings movable?" Xie Kai continued.

Even if he knew that it was impossible, he still had a trace of expectation in his heart, what if it was?

After asking, his eyes looked at Huo Haiyuan in a daze, his face full of hope.

He hoped that Huo Haiyuan would say, yes, although the technology was poor, it could be achieved.

Huo Haiyuan was really anxious, Xie Kai was so excited that he lost his mind because they changed the design indiscriminately, and the pneumatic layout was so nondescript?

He could only cast a look for help to Wang Guilin next to him.
