At present, the F-22 has been selected by the U.S. Air Force and has entered the formal development stage, but the debate about this bid has never stopped.

In many military fans,

In the eyes of many professional aviation experts, the YF-23 is the real king, because it is more advanced than the F-22.

Northrop is a world-famous aviation company,

It is also one of the largest defense contractors in the United States, and has developed many famous fighter jets for the U.S. military, such as the P-61 Black Widow night fighter.

F-5 Freedom Fighter, F-20 Tiger Shark, etc.,

In addition, the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, which has entered the final intensive test flight stage before entering service, is the work of Northrop,

Or Northrop Grumman's work,

Because the two companies have merged,

Gone is the simple Northrop. It is precisely because of the experience of developing the B-2 that Norge is familiar with stealth design.

For example, without the use of thrust vector nozzles,

This not only reduces the weight of the aircraft, but also helps to better achieve omnidirectional stealth performance, especially the stealth in the rear half of the aircraft.

Also, the engine nozzle is located very far above the rear fuselage.

The top of the nozzle is a movable folding plate,

At the bottom was a curved fixed slope, from which the gases from the engines were discharged through the "tunnels" or "trenches" of the aft deck of the aft fuselage,

The surface of these grooves is pasted with heat-resistant materials,

It quickly cools the engine exhaust and reduces infrared radiation.

Therefore, in terms of stealth capabilities, although the YF-23 does not dare to say that it is an order of magnitude higher than the F-22, it is certainly a large exceedance.

And then there's the speed.

Due to the narrow and long fuselage, the weight is also much lighter than that of the F-22,

In the case of using the same thrust engine, the YF-23's ultimate speed and the speed of over-cruising without afterburner are significantly higher than those of the F-22.

This has already been proven in the bidding.

Finally, super-maneuverability,

This is the only thing that the F-22 surpasses the YF-23 in terms of capabilities, only because it is equipped with a binary thrust vectoring nozzle, which the YF-23 does not have,

But the aerodynamic design of the YF-23 is far more advanced than that of the F-22.

There are even many disruptive technologies,

It is precisely with its excellent aerodynamic design that the YF-23 also has super maneuverability, but it is slightly inferior to the F-22.

As for avionics,

There is no essential difference between the two.

Therefore, in terms of overall performance, the YF-23 is undoubtedly stronger than the F-22, but the result is: the F-22 has won the favor of the US Air Force,

The YF-23 was defeated.

There are many reasons for this, some are public statements by the US Air Force, some are speculation, but no matter how many reasons there are, it is useless.

Defeat is defeat,

The only two prototypes have been mothballed and never took off again. In the eyes of the world, the YF-23 is destined to become a piece of history,

But Wei Xiong took a fancy to the YF-23.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union,

Galaxy Aerospace obtained most of the information on the MiG-1.44 raised by the MiG Design Bureau to compete with the United States for fourth-generation fighters.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union,

While developing and improving the F-21 (Su-27), Galaxy Aerospace also officially established a project to develop the fourth-generation heavy stealth fighter F-31.

At present, the project has not been officially opened to the public.

But it was shown to the military of country Z,

The military of country Z has shown a strong interest, and if the F-31 can succeed, it will give the Chinese Air Force a leap to par with the United States.

Such a temptation is not small.

However, due to limited funds,

The military did not inject funds into the project, but only expressed an intention to procure, and the main task of the current Air Force is to update the second-generation aircraft in service.

By the end of last year,

The number of F-21s equipped by the Air Force has exceeded 200, and Galaxy Aerospace reached a formal agreement with Shenfei in the middle of last year.

Shen Fei will produce the F-21 under license,

The production line has been assembled,

The first F-21 will roll off the assembly line in mid-June of this year.

Galaxy Aerospace will specialize in the production of the latest model of the F-21: the F-21B (mainly ground-to-sea attacks, taking into account aerial combat).

In addition, the J-10 made its first flight in February of this year.

This is a single-seat, single-engine, medium-sized, multi-functional, supersonic third-generation all-weather air superiority fighter developed by Chengfei.

In the seventies of the last century,

When the J-7 and J-8 series fighters began to be developed and equipped one after another, the Air Force knew the performance of these domestic versions of the MiG-21 or modifications.

Knowing more that they are not enough to meet the national defense requirements of the new century,

Therefore, an attempt was made to develop an advanced fighter that could be on par with the world's advanced level at that time, so the famous J-9 project was born.

This is a bold attempt by China's aviation industry.

J-9 has a number of breakthrough design schemes such as canard wings and large delta wings, and the design concept is close to the level of the world's third-generation fighters.

If successful,

It will be a huge leap forward for China's aviation industry.

However, the indicators of this model are set too high, which is out of touch with the actual level of domestic scientific research and production strength. Especially the matching turbofan engine -

Turbofan-6 engine.

After more than 20 years of difficult and tortuous development of this type of engine,

It spent more than 100 million yuan on research and development, although it had passed the 24-hour pre-flight qualification test on the ground bench in 1982.

But in the end, because the development cycle dragged on too long,

The technical performance indicators are backward, and the aircraft model loses its use object, and the historical outcome of "stopping investment and summing up experience" is formed.

The J-9 was dismounted, but the real needs of the army remained

So in 1984, the J-10 project was officially established.

In the study of specific schemes, Chengfei has established the overall design idea and aerodynamic layout in line with the trend of the world's third-generation fighters.

At the same time, make full use of domestic pre-research and a large number of technical reserves.

Implement design ideas and technical management methods in line with the world trend, and formulate a top-down comprehensive design of each system of the whole machine.

Bottom-up comprehensive verification and testing,

All major systems must be developed by the overall design unit with a comprehensive general idea. \t

These important technical measures have played an important role in ensuring the successful development of the J-10 fighter and improving the level of China's aviation technology.

After the start of development,

The project management of the J-10 project has been strengthened, and the dynamic management and tracking control of the design and technical status of the whole project are required.

After entering the 90s,

Changes in the situation in the world had a huge impact on the development of the J-10 fighter.

In the beginning, the J-10 was a "close" project between China and the West, and received some technical support from the United States, but the good times did not last long.

With the events of the late eighties,

Country Z has no way to obtain technical support from the West, so it turns to Russia, which also has strong aviation capabilities, for technical support.

According to the original history,

The J-10 program will introduce Russian AL-31F engines, initially only for emergency purposes, so that the J-10 program can continue.

But it backfired,

The Taihang engine matched with the J-10 has been plagued by negative factors such as short life and poor reliability, and it is difficult to officially enter service.

Not to mention that it is equipped on a single-engine fighter.

It was not until the 20s of the 21st century that it was equipped on the domestic twin-engine heavy J-11B, and as for the equipment on the J-10, it was not until the mid-20s,

is the latest modification of the J-10C.

But now it's different.

Because of the birth of the Galactic Aerospace,

The J-10 project did not introduce Russian AL-31F engines, but directly used the GF-90 turbofan engines of Galaxy Aerospace

Coupled with the technical support provided by Galaxy Aerospace,

The J-10 project proceeded quickly.

The original history was the first flight in 1998, and now the first flight time has been advanced by more than three years. In the plans of the military, the J-10 will be supplemented by the F-21,

The purchase quantity will not be less.

The performance of heavy fighters is advanced, yes, but it is too expensive, even the United States, which has deep pockets, still has to find a partner for the F-15.

It's the F-16,

What's more, it is the army of country Z that is strapped for money.

According to the plan, the J-10 will mainly be equipped with air force units, and the navy will also be equipped with an appropriate amount in the later period, and the final number of equipment will exceed that of the F-21.

In addition, plans have been made for a number of improved models.

Getting back to business,

The development of the fourth-generation stealth fighter is a huge project, and the difficulty is also very high, and it is far from being comparable to the development of the third-generation aircraft.

In the original history,

The F-22 won the competition with the YF-23 in 1991 and finally entered service in 2005, a total of 15 years before and after.

You must know that the American aviation industry is the strongest in the world.

And so,

This is especially true of other countries.

Although Galaxy Aerospace was developed by stepping on the corpse of the former Soviet Union, its scientific research strength certainly cannot be compared with that of the United States as a whole.

Even if America's scientific research power is fragmented.

Of course, the F-31 project can continue along the MiG-1.44 scheme, which will save a lot of resources and time.

After all, a prototype of the MiG-1.44 has already been created.

But the MiG 1.44 is outdated,

In terms of stealth performance, super-maneuverability, avionics system and information perception, the MiG-1.44 is seriously inferior to the competitor F-22.

Such a fighter has lost the need to continue research and development,

At most, it is only used as a technical reference.

And with Galaxy Aerospace's current scientific research strength, the F-31 should take 20 years to enter service, but the problem is that Wei Xiong doesn't want to wait so long.

So there's only one way—

Seek help from outside forces.

However, at present, the United States is the only one in the world that is developing a fourth-generation fighter.

Cooperation is certainly impossible, not to see that even the largest and closest ally of the United States, the United Kingdom, has been excluded from the ATF program,

Therefore, Wei Xiong gave an order to the East Factory,

Since conventional methods do not work,

Then he can only use some unconventional methods. As for why he chose the YF-23 over the F-22, which ultimately won the bid?

The first is that public opinion generally believes that the YF-23 is more advanced than the F-22;

The second is security.

After the F-22 won the bid, the project moved to the formal development stage, and at the same time, the entire project was under the close supervision of the US military.

Take researchers as an example,

Principal scientists involved in the project are strictly prohibited from traveling abroad during the project period, unless approved, even if they are traveling in China.

And the YF-23 has already failed,

The R&D team formed by Northrop has been disbanded.

Who all the technical information is locked in the archives, and it can only be accessed if it is authorized, but the supervision is certainly much looser than the F-22 project,

The success rate is naturally much higher when it comes to action.

In Wei Xiong's vision,

As long as the technology of YF-23 can be obtained,

Even if it is only some of the key technologies, the F-31 project, which combines the most cutting-edge aviation technology of the United States and the Soviet Union, will inevitably be greatly accelerated.

……

Back to the palace Wei Xiong went directly to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts,

There are already more than a dozen documents waiting for him to be processed on the imperial case, and next to the imperial case is a petite beauty wearing exquisite Hanfu.

It was Kyoko Fukada.

After coming to Papua, Kyoko Fukada, like Fujiwara Norika and Nanako Matsushima, became Weixiong's personal maid.

Seeing Wei Xiong come in,

Kyoko Fukada knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”

Wei Xiong nodded, sat on the throne and began to process the documents, while Kyoko Fukada climbed under the imperial case on all fours,

It's her main job every day.

After dealing with a few documents as usual, Fujiwara Norika walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council Administrative Officer Li Yingai asks to see you." ”

Wei Xiong replied lightly,

After Fujiwara Norika turned around and went out, after a while, Li Yingai walked in: "Attend Your Majesty." Wei Xiong glanced up: "Excuse me,

What's the matter?"

Lee Young-ae came to Papua three days ago, and then became the head of the Privy Council Administrative Office, Ouyang Yalan, as an administrative officer.

Responsible for assisting Ouyang Yalan in her work.

When Wei Xiong was in South Korea, he promised her to make her the sixth deputy minister of the Privy Council, and at the same time in charge of the propaganda department, which was spun off from the administrative department.

But she doesn't have any experience now,

Naturally, you have to learn from Ouyang Yalan for a period of time, at least to be familiar with the workflow of the Privy Council. As for those professional matters,

It is supported by a number of professional administrative officers.

Li Yingai got up and said: "The cultural exchange group of country Z has arrived in the morning, and it has just gone to the Royal Theater, so let's familiarize ourselves with the venue first.

Rehearsals begin tomorrow. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lee Young-ae heard a squeaky sound, the kind of sound that was sucking things, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at the imperial case.

She had heard this kind of voice when she first came to the Heart Cultivation Temple,

I didn't know what was going on at the time,

It wasn't until yesterday that she came to the Heart Cultivation Hall to report on the cultural exchange group of country Z, and in the middle of the report, Wei Xiong's whole body suddenly tensed and let out a low roar,

She was taken aback,

When I saw the comfortable expression on Wei Xiong's face, I guessed what was going on, and then I saw a little beauty in Hanfu coming out from under the imperial case.

Riding onto Wei Xiong's lap,

It was the first time she had seen such a scene, and it was so unscrupulous, it was completely like nothing, she was as nervous as she was at that time,

There's also a sense of absurdity.

Wei Xiong noticed Li Yingai's gaze, the corners of his mouth hooked, leaned back on the back of the chair, and reached out to gently stroke Kyoko Fukada's hair,

He asked, "Is the work going well?" ”\t

Li Yingai lowered her head: "It's going well, Lord Ouyang takes good care of me, but I have just accepted a lot of work, and I still need time to get used to it." ”

Wei Xiong nodded and said, "Well,

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, Lan'er and they didn't understand anything at the beginning, you see now,

Everything is easy to drive. ”

Li Yingai nodded: "Slave...... The slave knows. ”

She just entered the palace, in addition to being familiar with government affairs, she also had to learn the palace rules, but the insulting word 'slave' made her a little uncomfortable.

Also, she speaks Korean.

It sounds a little weird to say the word 'slave' in Korean, at least that's how Wei Xiong feels, but it can't be helped.

She doesn't speak Chinese,

Even if you are already learning, it will take you months to communicate simply.

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Then you can step down." Hearing this, Li Yingai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although she was ready to dedicate herself,

But after all, it's the first time,

Nervousness and fear are inevitable.

Looking at Li Yingai's back when he went out, the corners of Wei Xiong's mouth hooked up a playful smile, for Li Yingai, he didn't plan to swallow the dates.

It's fun to play slowly.

When Li Yingai disappeared outside the palace gate, he rubbed his chin,

The cultural exchange group of country Z has arrived, and the accompanying artists and song and dance troupes will participate in the evening after tomorrow to hold a party for the birthday of Qing Wei Hongdao.

That Yang Liping is naturally included,

How do you start?

……

—————————————————————————————————————

Yang Liping looked at the room, this is a standard room, but the decoration is very luxurious, much more luxurious than the Beijing hotel she has seen.

This surprised her a little,

As far as she knows, this royal hotel is the property of the royal family, and it is also the most luxurious hotel in Jayapura, and is also responsible for receiving state guests.

Before the times,

She thought that the artists and members of the song and dance troupe who accompanied the troupe would be arranged in an ordinary hotel, and whoever wanted to live in the Royal Hotel,

This shows the friendly attitude of Papua.

Walk over and open the window,

Condescendingly, you can see a hot construction scene outside,

It's really being built everywhere. In fact, she experienced it on the way from the airport to the hotel, but her view of this room was obviously better.

Such a scene reminds her of many cities in China,

It's all the same. After looking at it for a while, she closed the window, frowned and rubbed her temples, perhaps because of the long flight,

After getting off the plane,

My head suddenly became a little dizzy, and I was a little nauseated,

So everyone else went to the Royal Theatre, and only she stayed at the hotel. Walk over and sit at the head of the bed, pick up the landline on the bedside table,

I called Liu Chunqing's phone.
