This time, the South African delegation was acquiesced by the official authorities of the Republic, and also got a new three-view plan, as well as simple budget data, and then took a thousand pairs of military goggles that had just been sent from Shu Airlines, and flew directly from Xiangjiang back to the southern hemisphere.

After initially understanding the meaning of South Africa, Wang's father and son also found a time to sit down quietly: "The requirements of this project in South Africa do not necessarily need to be designed according to what you said, right?"

For his father's character, now it is somewhat clear, even though it is indeed necessary to use medium-distance coupling in the plan for South Africa this time, but there is no need to emphasize the abdominal air intake at all, and the previous J-9 project is more only using the two-sided air intake scheme, as the chief engineer of the J-9, it is obviously more familiar with the two-sided air intake scheme.

But the strange thing is that this time I didn't choose the air intake scheme on both sides, although the abdominal air intake has certain benefits, but the shape scheme brought by this design will still be too similar to the domestic new Jj plan, which should never be for the always cautious father.

First of all, it should be admitted that the domestic aviation system in the eighties was engaged in large-scale foreign cooperation, including newly developed aircraft.

For example, the J-7 of the West Flight, which was still directly consulted by the Germans in the program selection stage, and later when there was a shortage of money, it directly took the model to foreign countries to participate in air shows, and actively looked for investment from abroad.

Not to mention the later projects such as the Super Seven, J-82, and Qiang-5M, which almost opened up all the active fighters of the Republic to the outside world, but it was also at this time that the secrecy of the new J-1 program was the highest, at least I had never heard of it being developed in cooperation with foreign countries, and now Dad came up with such a plan, which obviously has ulterior motives.

I didn't expect the design plan I proposed to South Africa to be the first to be seen by my own son, it is really a tiger father without a dog, just this is enough to comfort his life, but unfortunately this kid is unwilling to take over his class, what kind of optics to do, what a waste.......

With a rather confident hehe, he made an unfathomable expression: "I know, you may have also learned the general design plan of the new J-J from Chief Engineer Wen Cong, so I think the plan I gave to South Africa is very strange, why is the aerodynamics and body shape of the two aircraft so similar? Then I can clearly say that this is deliberate." ”

Half-leaning on the sofa, Comrade Wang was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, his plan did sound a little too bold, and even said it was a bit shocking, and I don't know if the high-level can accept it.

As for his own son, it doesn't hurt to be trustworthy and understandable, and there is a person who can be discussed: "You should also be able to see that there is a huge difference between our domestic needs and South Africa's respective combat positioning, so in the design of the South African program, I give a completely different choice from the domestic program." ”

"You can see that these are two completely different positions, but that's just because of the wing design, but in terms of the fuselage, I really don't see any difference. ”

The two schemes have been studied and compared for a long time, and this doesn't even need to be said by my own father, the only doubt is in the fuselage design, and in addition, there are really no other problems.

Referring to the fuselage issue again, Comrade Lao Wang finally expressed his inner thoughts: "I deliberately designed the fuselage of the South African plan to be the same as the new fighter plan of the Shudu Institute, and only in this case can the similarity of the two models be maximized, so as to transfer the problems encountered in the design of the new fighter fuselage to the South African plan." ”

Is there any difference between the so-called transfer of technical problems to South Africa's plan? In the end, it is not necessary to solve the problem, but it is impossible to ..... Wait, it seems.......

Closing his eyes and thinking carefully, his hands and feet began to shake together regularly, which is Wang Zhengguo's signature action when he meditates on the problem, which is quite performative.

The problems encountered in the design of the fuselage are transferred to South Africa, and when South Africa encounters problems, in addition to the technical support of the Republic, the other side can only be Israel, and the technology from Israel can actually complement the country in many places.

Suddenly opened his eyes: "I understand, both schemes use the same fuselage design, so that the problems we encounter will also be encountered in South Africa." And the channels through which they solve the problem are not only ours, but also other channels, and if we are involved in the South African solution throughout the process, we can bring the solution back home?"

I never thought that my father would have this mind, if you want to say this scheming, it's okay!

Lao Wang also responded in a timely manner: "That's pretty much what it means, I heard South Africa say that they are cooperating with Israel, and Israel is willing to help upgrade the Mirage 3, which naturally means that the two sides have cooperation in the aviation industry, and now South Africa is developing new fighters, there is no reason not to continue to frown with Israel." ”

When talking about South Africa, it suddenly comes to Israel again, which is not to divert the topic, but rather a place that cannot be avoided, and continues with the above words:

"For Israel, there have been contacts and cooperation in the country as early as a few years ago, and we have looked at each other's aviation manufacturing capabilities, and the technology is first-class in terms of subsystems, but their asking price is too high, so we only take what is most urgently needed, and the rest can only be abandoned. ”

Wang Zhengguo was completely able to guess what project he was talking about at this time, so he quickly nodded his head to show that he understood, and signaled that he could continue to talk.

"For the South African plan, this time they will inevitably introduce Israeli avionics, fly-by-wire hardware, radar and other electronic equipment, and in the way they are currently realized, it will definitely be a full set of production technology introduction, and then we can bypass Israel to study these things, and we can solve the problem without spending money, or with less money. ”

Finally, I simply put it more directly: "Or I put it this way, the two schemes share the fuselage design, which greatly reduces the risk of fuselage development, as long as the hardware problems of avionics, radar, and fly-by-wire flight control are solved, system integration is a trivial matter." Knowing the Tornado multi-role fighter and the Tornado ADV interceptor, the South African program and the domestic new combat program that I have positioned are based on this model. ”

Finally, it was clear that this was a Gemini project at all, and if it went according to this plan, there would be a South African brother in the future No. 10, and the two models would have at least 50% similarity, and the other difference was to highlight the gap in their combat positioning. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the South African plan is leaked, the new domestic annihilation will not be damaged.

This is really wonderful, in this way, the risk and difficulty of the development of No. 10 will be reduced, which is great news for the No. 10 plan, which has been subject to risk and criticism at this time.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhengguo also began to think about it separately: "Since Dad, you have proposed the Gemini plan, and South Africa also intends to design a duck aerodynamic, then the high-level plan to recommend the cooperation between the Northern Institute and South Africa may be ......."

As the leader of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, he certainly had to consider how to promote cooperation between South Africa and Mukden in accordance with the will of the top level.

However, the situation has changed, and South Africa is clearly not as expected by the previous top management, and is only scratching the risk of developing fighter jets.

And as a talent who was promoted from the Shudu Institute to the ministry, he also has too many fetters for the Shudu Institute that he established single-handedly, and now he will do it whenever he has the opportunity to help the Shudu Institute and contribute to the tenth.

I was reluctant to let Shudu compete for South Africa's cooperation projects, because I thought that South Africa only wanted a Phantom 2000, but who knew that it would develop into such a ghost in the end.

"Let's go, there is no need to wait for the time being on the Xiangjiang side, if there is a response from the South African side, we will come again, now I need to go back to the imperial capital to deal with the new problems encountered this time, and report first to see the reaction of the high-level." As for you, then you can do it yourself, and the imperial capital and Shu are whatever you choose. ”
