Chapter 498: Little Short Legs

"Look at what this Fengtian plan thinks, the plan they brought this time, I don't think there are any big highlights in it, and I don't know how it works."

Director Ding is not optimistic about the conventional layout plan brought by Fengtian, after all, Director Ding coordinates all the national defense and military industries, he is not specialized in the aviation industry, and he has seen the excellent performance of the duck aerodynamics and variable swept wing aerodynamics, and then looks at the conventional layout plan of the Fengtian Institute this time, so he is naturally not too interested.

Fortunately, there are still some professionals on the military side, and they can also have some more objective views on the plan brought by Fengtian this time, such as......

"This conventional layout scheme is not an intolerable design, the new J is positioned as a fighter/attack aircraft, and its conventional layout can ensure that it has basic air combat capabilities at the same time, it can also have enough hardpoints for ground attack."

The Air Force still gave some objective evaluation of the conventional layout scheme, and with the previous two unconventional aerodynamic design schemes, the conventional aerodynamic layout is still not so unacceptable.

Not only did the Air Force not have much opinion on this conventional aerodynamic layout, but the Navy also did not express any opposition to the Fengtian Institute's aerodynamic plan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Commander Liu commented on Fengtian's plan on a case-by-case basis.

"Although the conventional pneumatic layout does not have too prominent advantages, its moderation is the biggest advantage, and in order to achieve a balance in many needs, the conventional layout is the safest."

Hearing that the navy and air force were satisfied with the plan they brought this time, I finally gained confidence for no reason.

In the air superiority fighter bidding project that year, the No. 13 plan and the No. 10 plan of the Fengtian Institute met. It was the mediocrity of the conventional layout that led to the final defeat, but this time it was different......

"We have a lot of experience with conventional layout fighters. And this time, we also consulted with McDonnell Douglas. McDonnell Douglas also suggested a conventional pneumatic layout. ”

Fengtian Institute has indeed made a lot of preparations this time, consulting McDonnell Douglas is one of the measures, and even Fengtian Institute has invited McDonnell Douglas to provide technical support this time.

Hearing that McDonnell Douglas invited McDonnell Douglas, the military expressed its satisfaction, to say that McDonnell Douglas is also quite authoritative in the design of twin-engine fighters, and the F18 developed by McDonnell Douglas also happens to be a combat attack aircraft, and Fengtian is considered to have gone to the right temple and worshiped the right Buddha this time.

"Didn't you even bring in McDonnell Douglas for technical support? Although this project does not prohibit foreign cooperation. But you must also know that this project is not Jian-82, and the degree of dependence on foreign countries cannot be the same as last time. ”

Although the combat attack aircraft project this time is not as secret as Project 10, it cannot be dragged to the United States like the Jian-82 and let McDonnell Douglas see all the performance of the entire aircraft.

Hearing that the army talked about J-82, Fengtian also felt a little blushing on his face, and wanted to go around with F15 with confidence last time, but in the end, he ......

When I think of this, I feel that all kinds of tastes are not good. As for the cooperation method of J-82, Fengtian Institute has no such plans.

"Definitely not, our approach to working with McDonnell Douglas this time is mainly focused on avionics, given McDonnell Douglas's extensive experience in the development of the F18 fighter-attack aircraft. We plan to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas in the avionics design of the new J! ”

In the sound of ordinary people, they can only envy the good luck of Fengtiansuo, who happened to be next to a big tree like McDonopher. McDonnell Douglas also happens to have experience in developing the F18, presumably the Fengtian scheme is quite easy to achieve in avionics design.

It's not just other units that hold this idea. Even the military and the Science and Technology Commission secretly praised Fengtian's wit.

If it is said that the 611 Institute and the Hongdu plan are both high-tech risks and achieve excellent performance, then the plan route of the Fengtian Institute is to take one path: to use a large number of mature technologies that are easy to obtain at home and abroad. Quickly build a fighter with minimal development risk.

This is Mukden's plan, although mediocre, but quite safe, and its unique advantages can also give the army a fatal lure. Confuse.

"This idea is okay, and it is okay to use the technology provided by McDonnell Douglas in avionics, if it is just such a dependence on foreign technology, our Air Force can tolerate it."

Different from the expressions of the army, the Science and Technology Commission, and even other competing units, Yang Hui's face was green at this time.

At this time, the Fengtian Institute began to play the idea of F18, although it only had some reference in avionics, but it was so naked to take the road that Southwest Science and Industry was ready to take, and let Southwest Science and Industry do it?

Of course, Yang Hui is not the only one who feels pain for this, and other staff members who know the Southwest Science and Industry Program are also full of expressions.

After the current Fengtian Institute has done this, even if it is a prelude to some thoughts about F18, but when the time comes, after the plan of our southwest science and industry comes out, I must not scare the people of the army and the science and technology commission to death.

The bidder's recognition is the biggest motivation of the bidder, and after being affirmed twice before and after, it was found that it seems that until now, Fengtian's speech has been the longest, does this mean that it ......

Thinking of this, it was like being beaten with chicken blood again, and Fengtian continued to introduce various specific situations.

“…… There will be a total of 11 external hardpoints for the whole aircraft, of which five can be used to mount heavy ground attack munitions, or for mounting anti-ship missiles against the sea, and the two heavy hardpoints at the wing root are designed to be used to mount heavy anti-ship missiles. ”

In order to win the project this time, the Fengtian Institute also deliberately studied the respective needs of the navy and air force, and for the needs of the navy, it deliberately threw out two hardpoints for carrying heavy anti-ship missiles.

I have to say that the right medicine of the Mukden Institute is still somewhat useful, and the navy's eyes are obviously brighter when they hear this, and this technology is still very attractive to the navy.

"So, what does the range data look like for this aircraft? We have long put forward the range requirements for fighters, and this point must be strictly followed. ”

When it comes to the issue of range, this is also a more tangled existence, other units can have their own plans to achieve a transfer range of 4200 meters, but the plan on the side of Fengtian is a little difficult to do in terms of range.

The conventional aerodynamic layout of the F16 style is adopted, although it is a double-engine middle thrust, and the fuselage can be made larger, but it is a matter of increasing the range.

"We designed a very good internal fuel tank for the aircraft, with three large auxiliary fuel tanks attached to it, which can achieve a transfer range of 3,500 meters, and for the design requirements of 4,200 meters, we can only do this by adding a conformal fuel tank design."

Hearing that the conformal fuel tank should be installed, the army also understood a little, if it was necessary to install the conformal fuel tank in order to achieve the specified range, it would be a little too troublesome.

Speaking of which, this conformal fuel tank is only a design that has to be made when the body design does not take into account the large voyage, and the non-detachable fixed design, which is still quite a cheating existence.

If the conformal fuel tank is not installed, the internal fuel range planned by Fengtian will indeed be a little too short, and it is impossible for the army to use such a "short-legged" attack aircraft. (To be continued.) )
