Liang Yuan wanted to say that he would build a fight, and he would be fine in the future, just learn to fly F14 with Uncle Ning, and if he is bored in the future, he will go to the sky and take a turn, and more importantly, that thing is still a two-seater, and it is much more popular to pick up girls than Lamborghini and others.

It's a pity, just think about it, and don't dare to say that if you kill Liang Yuan.

"What can I do with that thing, I haven't even touched the flight control lever. Liang Yuan patted Ning Wanjia's little hand that was nervously grasping on his shoulder.

"Domestic planes need to be approved in the sky, and if there is a yaw or something, it will be directly hit, and there is no room for negotiation at all, how can I have a chance to come nonsense." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Ning Lei thought about it, the fighter is an incomparably huge system engineering, without the support of the national system, whether a single plane can fly is a problem, about Liang Yuan did too many abnormal things, everyone ignored these problems, and they all thought that as long as Liang Yuan wanted to, he would definitely be able to do it.

"It's not like you've done too much of the abnormal things. Ning Lei said with a smile.

"Tell Uncle Ning, what the hell are you thinking again. Ning Lei asked.

Liang Yuan thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts before saying, "Uncle Ning, every time the F14 fighter completes a flight mission, it takes about a day to maintain. ”

"Xiaoyuan, how do you know the maintenance time of F14?" Ning Lei asked curiously.

"Uh...... Uncle Zhang Jianxin Ning knows, he works for the American Aerospace Industry Association, since we plan to buy F14, we must have a general understanding of the product, so I asked Uncle Zhang to take me to the AIA library for a few days. Where I saw the F14 fighter part of the maintenance number jΓΉ. Liang Yuan said nonsense, the American Association of Aerospace Industries is located in Washington, D.C., Liang Yuan has been honestly nesting in Los Angeles when he was in the United States, where has he been to the United States.

Seeing Ning Lei nodding, Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, with the help of the information network of the later world, it can be said that on this planet, Liang Yuan knows as much about some of the advantages and disadvantages of the F14 fighter as the US Navy equipped with the F14.

It seems that you must be careful in the future, be careful and be careful, if you accidentally say F22 one day. That's the big trouble.

"I don't think Grumman must have told Uncle Ning that the hourly flight cost of an F15 fighter is about 20,000 US dollars, while the F14 fighter is as high as 30,000 US dollars. ”

However, in the late 80s, the gold content of the US dollar was much stronger than that of the green paper of later generations, and now the flight cost of $30,000 is at least more than $50,000 in the new century, and the flight cost of the F-22 fighter, which is known for its delicate maintenance and troublesome maintenance, is only $46,000 in the new century.

The U.S. Navy retired the F14 early, although there were factors such as Iranian smuggling of parts, the weakening of the threat faced by the U.S. Navy, etc., the most important of which was the high cost of using the F14 fighter.

"Take, for example, the US Navy. Each F14 needs to fly about 3oo hours a year, and about 30% of the flight cost of 30,000 US dollars can be fueled and personnel. The remaining seventy percent is the loss of necessary accessories, which means that a F14 fighter needs 630,000 US dollars to use for a year, and a squadron of F14 needs 250,000 US dollars to maintain a year's training and combat readiness. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

China's military spending throughout the 80s has been hovering between 1.8 billion and 2.1 billion yuan, and the maximum amount allocated to the air force is 5o billion, even if the annual budget of the air force is evenly distributed to the more than 5ooo J-6, J-7, and J-8 equipped by the Republic at that time, and each aircraft only received 1oo0,000 yuan.

One F14 squadron with four fighters. It will cost 200 million yuan a year, not including ammunition, fuel, and personnel, even if the F14 is powerful, a small squadron can not withstand three air divisions, this is simply an out-and-out weapon-only theory, which is not afraid of hardship for our party and our army. Not afraid of death, naked, naked, insulted and desped.

Liang Yuan could imagine with his eyes closed that the high-level people in the Air Force, who were originally from the 6th Army, would take to denounce this matter.

Not to mention that the Gulf War had not yet broken out at this time, and the top brass of the Chinese Air Force was still in the residual heat of the 60,000-year-old Jian. Even in the information society in the later generations, where information has reached an extremely high level, in the face of iron-clad reality, there are still people who dream of using J-7 fighters to encircle the F22 and use high-missile boats to deal with aircraft carrier formations.

In the face of this situation, even 286 personally came forward, and he could not suppress the surging feelings and resentments of the old high-level of the Air Force.

Ning Lei gasped when he heard Liang Yuan finish speaking, Grumman would not mention this kind of detail in the negotiation at all, and at this time, the republic did not have a full life cost at all, and was completely unaware of this kind of problem, even if it was 200 million air forces a year, there would be a lot of internal quarrels, not to mention the need to spend precious foreign exchange.

"Xiaoyuan, our ground crew should be able to maintain the F14, and we didn't get a ground support system from the Soviet Union when we copied the J-6 fighter, so we didn't do it hard. Ning Lei's voice was slightly quieter, obviously lacking in confidence.

Liang Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle Ning, I'll just say a few things, the tires of the F14 fighter must be replaced after a certain number of sorties, the landing weight of the F14 fighter mounted on the combat is more than 25 tons, and the landing degree is more than 2oo km/h, which tire factory in China can produce this kind of high-run-proof tires? The variable sweep wing of the F14 fighter is automatically retracted and released by the computer, which research institute in China can handle this set of things?" The AG9 radar has to be thoroughly maintained every 1oo hours of use, and the electronic parts of this radar can be produced?The F14 fighter body has a large number of titanium alloy components, which factory in our country can accurately process titanium alloy parts?

"Uncle Ning, some time ago, when I was chatting with Aunt Ning, I learned that the Qiang-6 fighter-bomber project of the Yuzhang Aircraft Factory has been canceled, and Uncle Ning himself is in the Air Force, and Uncle Ning should know the number of Qiang-6 aircraft, and Uncle Ning thinks that which is still in the manual control of the Qiang-6 and the automatic control of the F14 is more technical?" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Wan is now completely indulgent to Liang Yuan, some time ago I learned that Liang Yuan planned to invest in the F14 overhaul plant, Tang Wan took it seriously, and it was easy to use Tang Wan's connections to make some news within the Third Aircraft Department or the Air Force.

Since the Qiang-6 fighter-bomber and the F14 both use variable-swept wing technology, Tang Wan was very impressed by the Qiang-6 project, and planned to help Liang Yuan find some technical personnel from the Qiang-6 project.

After Tang Wan contacted the Qiangliu project team, she learned that the Third Aircraft Department had announced the official launch of the Qiangliu fighter-bomber project as early as the beginning of last year (Note 1), which was an out-and-out good thing for Liang Yuan, who planned to invest in the overhaul factory, so Liang Yuan knew the good news from Tang Wan before going abroad.

Although Ning Lei is not the pilot of the fighter-bomber, he also knows a lot about the reasons for Qiang Liu's dismounting, although Qiang Liu's motives are not as good as ever, and the use of composite materials has taken too long to tackle key problems. However, it is still the biggest design foundation of the strong 6 - variable sweep wing technology.

The variable swept wing developed by the Yuzhang Aircraft Factory has always had the problem of heavy structure. Compared with the Soviet MiG-23 fighter, the variable swept wing mechanism developed on the basis of the strong six is 12% heavier, and the reason for the heavy is that the titanium alloy receiver used in the variable swept wing mechanism cannot be processed at all, and the weight of the receiver not only reduces the fuel load and bomb load of the fighter, but even affects the combat radius of the strong six.

Peng Xiaozhang, the chief designer of the Qiangliu, also plans to make the Qiangliu's variable sweep wing system like the F14 fighter, with a stepless variable function, which is controlled and adjusted by a computer. Although Yuzhang Factory has basically figured out the structure of the variable swept wing, it is at a loss for the control system of the variable swept wing.

The Republic had no experience in this area at all, and due to financial constraints, the Yuzhang Factory was unable to obtain a prototype of the F14 fighter from Grumman, so it could only test it step by step, and the aircraft development plan was delayed again and again. As a result, the development time lags behind significantly, and it will take a considerable amount of time and funds to continue the development.

"Of course, the strong six can't be compared with the F14, our air force has done a technical demonstration internally, that the variable swept wing layout is not the mainstream of future combat aircraft, and the completion of the strong six project is very low, and finally decided to give up the strong six project, but Xiaoyuan, can you solve the daily maintenance problem of the F14?" Ning Lei asked with some expectation and some doubts.

Liang Yuan listened to Ning Lei and said in his heart, and the most important point Uncle Ning was embarrassed to say, the military gave that variable swept wing layout is not the mainstream of future combat aircraft, it is just a high-sounding reason on the surface.

The motive for the choice of the Qiangliu fighter-bomber is that the turbofan 9 led by the queen in his previous life is that the water here is deeper than the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. The factors involved in Qiangliu's dismount are by no means just technical issues, but unfortunately Peng Xiaozhang, like Wu Zhonghua, is a pure scientist who works hard and does not look at the road, and finally 1o years of hard work were ruined.

"Uncle Ning, if there are no conditions, I don't have the ability to ask questions, but if I meet a few prerequisites and give me some time, I may be able to solve this problem. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Ning Lei smacked his lips, thought about it for a while and said with a wry smile: "At first, Xiaoyuan said that it would be good as long as he participated in the negotiations, but now a few more prerequisites have popped up, and he actually wants to leave a fighter jet privately, why do I suddenly feel like I have been fooled?"

Note 1: I really didn't find any information about this, I only know that the Strong Six project was canceled in the mid-to-late eighties, and book friends with detailed information can leave a note.
