It is determined that the two sides can cooperate, and the South African side no longer needs to hide it, and simply directly expresses the idea of using Spey engines to develop a new fighter, which is actually the same as what Wang's father and son guessed before.

"Are you sure you want to improve a fighter similar to the Mirage 2000 on the basis of the Mirage 3?" Regarding South Africa's plan, Comrade Lao Wang was still more concerned at this time, and directly blurted out.

Fortunately, the other party is also more up-to-the-road, nodding generously and admitting that there is nothing bad to say anyway, the Mirage 2000 was originally one of the targets of the new fighter planned by the South African authorities, and it is not surprising that it is now guessed.

"The Mirage 2000 is a very good multi-role fighter that can be taken care of in every way. Now I would like to know the question, if you are located in this target position, how much help can you give?"

And to say how much help can be provided, not only is Wang Zhengguo difficult to answer, but even Director Wang of the Science and Technology Bureau doesn't know how to give an explanation for a while, he really can't say!

For Fengtian, the only impression must be at least more than ten years ago, when I was still working in Fengtian, although I have been transferred to work in the imperial capital in recent years, I have never had the opportunity to see Fengtian, and now it is a bit .....

After a slight pause in the topic, after thinking about it: "For this issue, you can directly contact our designated unit, and how much help you can give depends on how you negotiate." At least the aircraft design and research institute we arranged has a complete experience in aircraft development, and also has some research on delta wing aerodynamics. ”

This is said very reluctantly, Fengtian Institute does have complete experience in aircraft development, this is true, but to say that the rich experience in delta wing aerodynamic design, this is obviously a play on words, avoiding the important and trivial.

The so-called delta wing aerodynamic design includes too much, tailless delta wing, conventional aerodynamic delta wing, canard delta wing, most of these designs can be classified as delta wings.

The tailless delta wing aerodynamics used in the Mirage series are the most common, and are usually referred to as delta wing design for a short time, and in the same sentence, the South African side understands that the tailless delta wing must be a narrow category.

But now Lao Wang is talking about the generalized delta wing aerodynamics, which includes the conventional aerodynamic delta wing used by the Fengtian Jian-8, which belongs to the broad category.

After this sincere exchange, the South Africans naively chose to believe that the Republic had arranged for them to cooperate with a unit that was very interested in the tailless delta wing of the Phantom family, and wrote down the minutes of the meeting with great satisfaction.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should further study the Mirage 2000 project of China-South Africa cooperation, but things are obviously not so simple, South Africans' ideas have never been conservative, since the left and right have been developed from scratch, why can't they take a bigger step?

"In addition to the slightly conservative plan of Mirage 2000, we actually have another more radical plan, I wonder if you have heard of the European Joint Fighter Program?"

Although South Africa was jointly sanctioned by the international community, the whole country is still operating normally, all kinds of information are relatively smooth, and the European Joint Fighter Program, which originated in the mid-seventies, has of course also been studied, and the European fighter development is the most open and transparent in the world, and various models, conceptual maps, and verification aircraft are almost the first time to be released to the public.

Now that the European Joint Fighter project has been proposed, several people at the scene have begun to think about it, and Lao Wang is naturally recalling the information about the European United Fighter Machine, and as the director of the Science and Technology Bureau, he naturally knows the trends of the European aviation industry well.

And Wang Zhengguo has to go further, he thought of the carver fighter that South Africa did not make in the end, although the initial design stage of that fighter was the tailless delta wing aerodynamic design, but now that the other party has mentioned the European United Fighter, then South Africa must have planned a canard similar to the European United Fighter.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhengguo felt that this was simply God's eyes, and some things might have a turnaround, so he hurriedly spoke: "I know what you mean, if you don't want to be limited to the goal of Mirage 2000, and plan to develop a more advanced canard aerodynamic fighter, then you have found the right person today, and the one sitting in front of you is now the world's top canard aerodynamic research chief engineer." ”

Regardless of whether Lao Wang wants to or not, this time it is necessary to push him out, a chief designer of the aircraft who has been studying the aerodynamic design of the canard since the 60s, after more than 10 years of experience accumulation, although he did not produce a complete model in the end, but he definitely belongs to the world's top handful in the research of canard aerodynamics.

Now that he has been sold by his own son, this is really a cheat, and looking at the situation, it seems that he can no longer hide it: "I do have some experience in the aerodynamic design of the canard, and it is not objective to say that I have conducted aerodynamic research almost at the same time as them five years ago for the various aerodynamic designs of the European Joint Fighter Program." ”

After listening to his father's introduction that is not painful and has no bright spots, this ordinary person is really not interested, and he can't watch his own Lao Tzu Pearl dusty, so he hurriedly added.

"Yes, you heard it right, the one who actually sat in front of you is a chief aircraft designer who has presided over the development of two fighter jets. One is the F-8 twin-engine supersonic interceptor, codenamed Fin Whale, which is now in mass production, and the other is a canard aerodynamic design, which has been studied for a decade and has a lot of experience in this area. ”

When communicating between insiders, the name of the chief designer of the aircraft is absolutely awesome, if it is successfully finalized and produced, it is the most beautiful business card, say it, you no one dares to underestimate it, so this time must not be missed.

As for the introduction of the F-8 fighter commander, it actually refers to the J-8 fighter, the nose intake type J-8 in service in the early eighties, when this aircraft was publicized to the outside world, the national caliber said that Wang Nanshou was the chief division, that is, after the J-82 was finalized, for various reasons, the name of the chief division was all installed on the head of the chief division of the Fengtian Institute.

Having said it again, with the reintroduction of Comrade Wang, the inspectors from South Africa were completely excited, this is the chief designer of the aircraft, the chief engineer who has a complete aircraft design, flight test and finalization experience, and also has in-depth research on the aerodynamic design of the canard, which is absolutely rare!

A group of people looked at each other, or the leader first tested: "It turns out that you are the chief designer of the aircraft, no wonder you are so wise and professional, I don't know if you are willing to make some suggestions for our new fighter project in South Africa, you can rest assured, the consulting fee will definitely not be less." ”

Consulting fees, which are a very common expense in Western countries, are created in order to demonstrate the importance of knowledge when consulting on such professional issues, and many aviation industry giants are actually engaged in related business.
