Chapter 4: Revitalizing the Industry 2: Tomcats
Tiger Cat ground attack aircraft soon entered the U.S. military and began to be transported to Annam to participate. Although news of being damaged is often reported, it is rare for them to be shot down directly, as fighter jets usually clear the field before they enter the field and continue to seize air supremacy.
At the same time, the U.S. military now occupies sea supremacy, and the fighter jets taken off by warships at sea make the Su... The Lianren are a little overwhelmed, not to mention these small ground attack aircraft, anyway, it was not the Su who died. Lianren.. The people, is the more.. South Monkey, it's not a pity to die if you die.
But the U.S. military also clearly felt that the performance of its aircraft could not catch up with the Soviet Union. Lianren, originally by Su... The beauty that Lianren is holding back.. Country.. People can't bear it at all, thinking about the Soviet Union during World War II. If it weren't for the beauty... Country.. Human blood transfusions have long been small. The beard was killed, but now Sue ... Lian actually beat himself to the point that his nose was bleeding. So Eagle Sauce found Liu Fei and asked Liu Fei to develop a supersonic fighter for use against the Soviet Union. United carried out all kinds of deterrence, and even Eagle Sauce had the idea of letting Liu Fei develop the legendary supersonic bomber.
But Liu Fei rejected their request very rigorously, because now Boeing's production capacity reserve space is not large enough, if it is really designed, it will let part of the production capacity flow into McDonnell Douglas's pocket, and then McDonnell Douglas will improve the aircraft according to this project, Liu Fei will lose a lot. So even the B-1B "lancers" that could have appeared a long time ago were pressed into Liu Fei's pocket and could not be released for a long time.
However, the military's fighter needs can still be satisfied, because Grumman still has a lot of spare capacity, and I think it was a very successful steel mill back then, and the steel produced was widely praised for being able to fly and being very strong and durable. There are even some steels that can stagger back to their base when the power equipment is broken. This also made the reputation of the steel plant spread and it was supported by the military, and now Grumman has a lot of spare buildings.
So the Tomcat fighter still has to be made, this is one of the few supersonic fighters that can intercept the Tu-22 Backfire supersonic bomber, and this fighter can also board the aircraft carrier, which is the most critical, because now the United States. Country.. The military base of people overseas: The ground is on the defensive, and the real offensive is the ten aircraft carrier battle groups. The old carriers are used to support the new carriers that have been converted or rebuilt, including ground attack aircraft support.
The F-14 is one of Grumman's most successful creations, and it has been in service since its inception and continues to be used today, with various modifications springing up like mushrooms. The sheer number of builds is a huge profit for Grumman, and it's almost empty-handed. Because Grumman would hardly pay any price for this new plane, under the influence of Liu Fei's reputation, no one would come to this trouble.
When Liu Fei solemnly announced at the headquarters that he had successfully developed the latest fighter jet, almost the entire roof of the headquarters was torn off, because the Grumman company, which had been strapped for several years, was finally about to become a big money. Even the lowest workers know that a fighter jet is very expensive, at least for them a group of people cannot afford one for a lifetime of wages.
But they built and sold such a plane with their own hands, and it was definitely worth celebrating.
……
The Tomcat is definitely a very successful fighter, otherwise Liu Fei would never have launched this fighter. Now Boeing and Grumman are very weak, and despite receiving a large amount of blood transfusion from Liu Fei, they are still in a weak period. Because Liu Fei simplified the production steps of the fighter and optimized the structure of the fighter, the production cost and production man-hours of the fighter are now lower.
An F-14 fighter jet marked 1 from a distance is carrying a mess of various munitions and is cruising at subsonic speeds.
The F-14 designed by Liu Fei is a third-generation fighter with the performance of a third-generation fighter and does not have the ability to cruise at supersonic speed, so it is naturally impossible to drive afterburner all the time to obtain supersonic cruise.
Liu Fei firmly believes that even if he does not design supersonic cruise, there will definitely be no big problem, because although McDonnell Douglas's F-16 can cruise at supersonic speed for a short time, the fuel consumption and mechanical wear are very large, far less cost-effective than the subsonic cruise F-14.
Even if it's beautiful.. Country.. The army has a lot of money, and it definitely needs to be touched well.. Touch your own pocket.
The beauty of the present: Country.. The army is an army that is undergoing modernization, and the B-2 or something was bought at this time. Moreover, now that the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union is in full swing, it is natural that we cannot devote all our energy to the purchase of a single fighter, nor can we devote all our energy to maintaining a relatively weak fighter.
The Tomcat's appearance was still very exciting compared to the previous Tiger Cat, and after a very strong performance, all the bigwigs were very satisfied with this aircraft and soon began to prepare to place orders. Because the current US military is not really as powerful as it was in history, and now the US military is empty.
Yu Sue.. In the competition of the United Nations, the United States. Country.. Because the military strength is not strong enough, it is said that they are now subject to the Soviet Union everywhere. Joints. And Sue .. The strategic bombers of the United Nations are threatening the United States all the time. The country is local, the United States... The country did not have high-altitude and high-speed fighters to defend and intercept enemy bombers.
Beauty.. Country.. People feel as if Germany at the end of World War II... The feelings of people have been blessed to themselves, Germany at the end of World War II... People are also very lacking in interception force, so the beauty.. The national talent is so simple to win.
The F-14 is precisely the beauty .. Country.. People need something, so beautiful.. Country.. The strong need for this kind of aircraft directly makes up for the relatively good performance of Liu Fei's competitor F-16.
Liu Fei is not unable to make better.. Performance of the aircraft, Liu Fei is needed to use this kind of policy.. Governance means to hold the beauty... State Politics.. House, let the beauty .. State Politics.. The government is no longer like the later world police.. Observe that flow.. People. Since Liu Fei appeared here, he would definitely provide the best living environment for his motherland, even if it was only in this honor mission.
……
The Tomcat fighter is very successful, and naturally Liu Fei can get a lot of profits. But Liu Fei now needs to inject new upgrades and vitality into more industries, so that these industries can become catfish, stir up the world economic development situation that has slowed down a bit, and make the world more active.
Economic Society.. Only when it is active can it develop faster.
