Chapter 401: Strength
This time he came to the imperial capital to do air shows, all of which were drawn from the Soviet Union's active combat duty Su-27 unit, Wang Zhengguo can irresponsibly guess, maybe this is the predecessor of the Warrior Air Show Team, anyway, he probably remembered that it should be this time.
In addition, the Soviet air show team learned that the republican side felt the deep traditional friendship between China and the Soviet Union, and decided to disclose to the socialist big brother the top military fighter they were developing, and invited the Su-27 fighter show team to Rongcheng to watch the No. 10 engineering plane.
Originally, this was not the itinerary planned by the air show team, but I heard that it was to visit the top military fighter that is still being developed in the Republic, so how could I miss it.
Overnight, I got in touch with the Soviet superiors through the communication system on the accompanying Il-76 support plane, and as expected, the Soviet Union was also very curious about the level of the aviation industry of the republic, after all, the republic had cooperated with NATO countries to study for a period of time, and there should be some good things.
Originally, the Soviet side planned to send additional personnel to the republic immediately, but the time was very tight here, and the Soviet side was not given time to prepare at all.
The next day, except for a small number of personnel of the flight performance troupe who were responsible for staying behind the Su-27 fighters at Nanwan Airport, the other more than 10 members of the performance troupe all sat on the Il-76, and under the leadership of the McDonnell Douglas 82 passenger plane at the beginning, the teams of the two sides flew directly to the test flight station of the 132 factory in Rongcheng.
The weather in Chengdu in spring has always been good, the test flight station is close to the suburbs, the surroundings are relatively empty, although the temperature is slightly lower than the city, but the meteorological conditions show that this time is the most suitable for large-scale fighter test flights.
As a passenger aircraft, McDonnell Douglas 82 has been in service in China for several years, and people at the test flight station also know it, and even the Civil Aircraft Branch of Factory 123 also subcontracts production parts for the McDonnell Douglas 82 project for Modu, how can they not know it.
But the Il-76 after that was different, with a huge ground wing, plus four turbofan engines hanging under the wings, the Maozi military aircraft has never been decorated in terms of noise, and you can imagine how big the scene is.
Wearing a winter coat Mao Zi stepped off the plane, the first thing he felt was extremely warm, it was indeed much better than the Soviet Union, and now most of the Soviet Union has not even melted snow, and Rongcheng is about 11 o'clock in the morning, the sun in the sky can still bring some warmth.
If it weren't for the image problem, I am afraid that these Mao Zi would be able to climb on the wing of the Il-76 on the spot and lie down, and have a wave of sunbathing.
"I think it's much better here than Sochi, and I really envy these peoples who live in the subtropics, comfortable!"
"Last year, my father went to Sochi for a vacation, and I heard that the infrastructure there has not been updated in the past few years, only those high-ranking official resorts are doing well, and they are renovated every year!"
....
The Il-76 entered the adjacent tarmac according to the command, and at this time, the Super 7 fighter that was originally in the sky for a test flight also completed the test mission and began to land according to the command of the tower.
"Quiet, look at the test plane landing over there, it may be what they call Project 10, it looks like a single-engine fighter. ”
The noise of the Il-76 is loud, but when the engine is turned off, the biggest source of noise in the entire test flight station is the landing of the Super Seven fighter, RB-199 performance is quite good, the three-rotor design noise is also low, but it is an aero engine after all, no matter how to control the noise, it is still the harshest in the crowd.
Deputy Commander Lin Hu introduced in a timely manner: "This is our Super Seven fighter, based on the introduction of the MiG-21 design data on the basis of a major change, the combat performance has been infinitely close to the third generation of light fighters, our design goal is to be able to fight the Mirage 2000 in air combat." ”
The military of the Republic has tested the Mirage 2000 fighter, and it has to know more clearly about this aircraft, requiring the Super Seven to reach the same level as the Mirage 2000, which is actually not difficult to do, as for the comparison of the Mirage 2000-5 after the mid-term improvement, it can only depend on which of the two sides has a better and more perfect system.
The Super 7 fighter has always been openly publicized in the international community, and since 85 years, there have been various campaigns every year, and the Soviet Union has naturally heard about it.
"The improved version of the MiG-21, which we have heard, seems to be based on the British RB-199 engine, and I think it should be on the same level as the MiG-21 Biss. ”
As the ultimate facelift of the genuine MiG-21 produced by the MiG Design Bureau, the MiG-21 Bis only entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 75 years, and also successfully took over the export banner of the MiG-21 fighter family, which sold well in many friendly countries of the Soviet Union, and even India introduced production lines for local production.
The MiG-21 Bis can be comparable to the early F-16 in terms of maneuverability, and the details of the super seven products have long been publicly unveiled at the Paris Air Show and the Van Paul Air Show, and the subsystems equipped with are quite good mature designs.
"The performance of Super Seven is very good, we position it in the export market, so the engine supply has not been affected, although this is not the No. 10 project, but it also reflects the average level of China's aviation industry, and you can have the opportunity to experience it up close. ”
Revealing the design of the 10th, which may require risk, but visiting the export product of Super Seven is different, just look at it!
As he spoke, the plane had taxied from the runway to the parking area, compared with the big guy like the Il-76, the super seven was indeed pitiful, but this did not dispel Maozi's curiosity, and with a hula, they all ran to surround the plane, and carefully looked at this aircraft that was almost very different from the MiG-21 family.
"They eliminated the nose proximity design, adopted a chin intake similar to the American F-8 fighter, and installed a large-caliber airborne radar, which is a good idea, after all, I heard that this aircraft uses the Tornado ADV's thrust of up to eight tons, relying on enough power to overcome the air resistance caused by this aerodynamic design. ”
Although the pilot is not a professional designer, he can still understand some superficial situations, which is a basic literacy.
This super-seven did not use the near-air scheme on both sides, anyway, the engine thrust is sufficient, and the super-seven team is of course willing to choose a plan that does not change much to the fuselage structure when designing, which is not bad in terms of reducing risks and controlling costs.
The Super Seven radome has not been opened, but there is no need to care too much about this, and the relevant information can actually be found in the promotional materials of foreign air shows in the future.
"Come and see, I may have found the biggest difference between this aircraft and the MiG-21, its wing should be completely redesigned, the changes are too great, they actually designed six hardpoints for the wing, it's incredible!"
