On an isolated island in the birthplace of modern industry, the town of Farnberg, a suburb of London, has once again experienced two years of dormancy, and the once calm and peaceful town has suddenly turned into a boom.

The Farnberg Air Show opened again in people's expectations, the air show, naturally, is the aircraft display for the big head, all types of aircraft gathered together, from the ancient biplane to the monoplane, from the propeller to the jet, low-speed aircraft to high-speed aircraft, from the ground remote control flight of ultra-light model aircraft, to the large passenger aircraft that can carry hundreds of people across the continent, everything is here.

Of course, these have appeared in previous air shows, but fortunately, there are always some new people joining in every air show, and they can always give people a refreshing feeling, some can only glide like meteors in aviation history, while others are famous in one fell swoop in air shows.

There are some new elements in this year's Farnborough Air Show, and careful people can see a highlight of this air show in the exhibition area distribution map, and it seems that some new faces have appeared in this air show.

The new face does not mean that a new aviation manufacturing enterprise has been established in that country, but that in this air show there is a mysterious exhibiting company of the aviation industry of the Republic, which is even rarer than the appearance of aviation manufacturing enterprises on the other side of the Berlin Wall.

In the Republic of China era, when the relationship between the Republic and the West was okay, the aviation industry of the Republic was completely out of the table, and after entering the Republic era, the aviation industry was considered to have progressed, but the diplomatic relations were not very good, so that the aviation industry of the Republic had never appeared at an international air show like Van Paulo, and now it is different.

"Sean. It's interesting to look at this booth, it seems that this company is from the red republic in the East. This should be their first time exhibiting, right? ”

Sean, a junior executive at a British aerospace manufacturer, brought his good friend Lines to the air show today. The biennial air show is when they are most excited. As a more professional person at an air show, they always find something interesting.

For example, this time Rownes discovered the Red Republic aviation manufacturing enterprise, this Sean has already inquired, and even Sean learned through a friend of his in "Jane's Defense Weekly" that the republic's aviation manufacturer has a press conference, which is really a bit exciting.

Jane's Defence Weekly was founded in '84 and is now an out-and-out small-traffic publication, but who knows what a monster it will become in a few decades. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is an authority in the aviation world.

Thinking of this, Sean looked forward to it more and more, although the press conference was ready-made, but he could still go to their booth to see the strangeness.

"Lines, you're right, this is an aviation manufacturing company from the Red Republic, and they are said to have a deep relationship with the Marconi company in this exhibition, so take a closer look at where their booth is."

That's when Lines discovered a surprising problem, which was really incredible, it was really a reversal of tradition.

"Oh. They were able to exhibit in Hall 1, which has never had a company with a non-British background, and they are famous this time anyway. ”

I became more and more curious about this airline from the Republic, and now I don't have the heart to watch the air show team that is performing hard in the sky. The two of them just wanted to go to Hall 1 to see what was going on.

Of course, it is not only Lines and Sean who are attentive, but also many people who have discovered this interesting company, which has led to a lot of people in front of the booth of Southwest United Science and Industry Company. At least the traffic of the Marconi company next to it is completely incomparable.

Despite the cordoned off zone, the space of the booth was constantly compressed.

Until the security forces at the airshow site intervened. Only then did the situation stabilize, and these British, who usually regarded themselves as gentlemen, found out. It turns out that I have lost my gentlemanly style.

Dusting off your clothes, you can only see the products of this mysterious airline on the inside, but after looking closely, you will vomit blood three liters in anger, and several static models of this booth are actually covered with red cloth.

It's so unfortunate that it's actually covered with red cloth, and in the Western tradition, the feeling of red is very opposite to the East's perception of red, which is a symbol of ominous and evil.

But what is surprising seems that the staff here is preparing to play a promotional video, which is also good, let's take a look at the promotional video first.

The lights on the scene suddenly dimmed, and there were three high-speed flying triangles on the screen, which swept through the middle of the screen at high speed, and finally turned into a sign on the screen in the middle.

It feels good to see the three acute triangle vertices on top of each other, at least to reflect the nature of being an aircraft manufacturer, followed by the bilingual company name in Chinese and English that flies onto the screen.

"Southwest Airlines Science and Industry Joint Company, the name is quite ordinary, it looks like it should be a joint company, I don't know what will look good in the future."

As soon as Sean's voice fell, the screen entered the main topic, and English subtitles also appeared at the bottom of the screen, and what is playing now is the image of the official signing of contracts with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Although the audio-visual equipment at this time is relatively backward compared with later generations, it is still not easy to have first-hand film and television materials.

"The cooperation is pleasant, and I hope that our new aircraft can get out of the drawings as soon as possible, fly in the sky, and fly to the troops."

The typical Middle Eastern dress of Prince Sultan and Madad on the screen immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it was enough to see the bearded men sitting at the table and signing their names on the contract in a chic manner, which is definitely first-hand information.

"Lines, if you see it, I said that this company is not simple, and it is true. I have a hunch that the plane under the red cloth is related to these Middle Easterners, I don't know how these Middle Eastern nouveau riche hooked up with the republics of the East, this plane is definitely not ordinary. ”

When speaking, a paragraph of English is typed on the screen, and English letters appear on the screen, combined to form words, sentences, and finally a paragraph:

In July 1983, the Southwest Aviation Science and Industry Union of the Republic of China formally signed a contract with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for the development of new aircraft, marking the official start of the development of the Super Jianjiao-7. This is the first time that the Republic has jointly developed with foreign countries in the field of military research and development, creating a new model, and thus starting a vigorous research and development work in the southwest of the Republic.

As soon as the picture went black, the text information disappeared, and the image information began to appear, and the first shot was the busy scientific researchers in the office group, various tools were placed on the table, and the drawings were hung on the wall of the office.

At this time, the camera turned, and from the original all-manual design, computer-aided design began to appear, that is, Yang Yue sat in front of the computer and skillfully typed the keyboard. This is the purest command flow, and all kinds of commands are done by the keyboard, which is actually much more efficient than the graphical interface.

As the computer continues to execute commands, finally showing the full aerodynamic shape of an airplane on the monitor, the camera zooms in and finally reveals the mystery of the new aircraft, of course, but this is only a matter of moments, and after two seconds on the screen, the camera pulls away.

Although the image is not very clear, and the time is not long, the general shape of the new aircraft can be seen clearly, this is definitely a different from the previous Soviet style fighters of the Eastern Republic, the huge nose radome, highlighting the cockpit a lot of outward vision, absolutely not seen in the Soviet fighter design.

Lines pulled Sean excitedly and asked excitedly: "Sean, have you seen clearly, this is definitely a brand new aircraft, in terms of aerodynamic design, it should abandon their Soviet tradition and start to move closer to our cooking country, I can't wait to rush in and uncover that damn red cloth right now."
