Chapter 824: Time is Running Soon
The news brought by Chief Lu did not surprise Yang Hui, for the introduction and production of Su-27 in the northeast, after the first batch of Su-27 procurement cases in the Republic, this seems to have been a foregone conclusion, heavy fighters for major countries after all, and the current J-18 and No. 10 cannot replace it.

On the other hand, under all considerations of the country and the army, they will definitely not look at the decline of the Northeast in the era of third-generation military fighters, so the localization of the Su-27 is expected.
At this time, it was also more sudden: "Yes, the domestic Su-27 in the Northeast has long been eight or nine, and we don't have to worry too much about this, just let them go, the Su-27 is also a fighter with quite good performance, so the Northeast side also has the ability to produce third-generation aircraft." And now, let's talk about the progress of the pneumatic test of the fourth-generation aircraft! ā
The general manager said that he didn't have too much to worry about the domestic 27 in the Northeast, and the others naturally didn't say much, they only needed to do their part well, and the rest .....
Immediately afterwards, Yang Hui revealed another news: "The reason why the northeast side will carry out the development of the fourth-generation aircraft immediately after us, I don't know the specific reason, but I know that when you do the aerodynamic test in Fucheng, the army has known it for a long time, and not long ago I called me to inquire about the news, and it seems that as long as the development of our domestic J-18 and No. 10 is completed, the army will soon mobilize funds to carry out the fourth-generation aircraft project." ā
This is news from the military, although Yang Hui has not yet gone to Vice Chairman Liu to personally confirm it, but the news that the commander of the Air Force has personally come over will not have a problem in thinking about it, after all, the US fourth-generation aircraft project at this time is already well known, and it is absolutely impossible to say that the country is not envious, jealous, and vigilant.
The news brought by Yang Hui is definitely exciting enough for the tripartite design team, since the army has intended to carry out the fourth-generation aircraft immediately after the completion of the development of the third-generation aircraft project in China, everyone will know the approximate time node.
First of all, the 611 side of the No. 10 project, now the No. 10 has been the first flight for three years, in the case of sufficient funds, and in addition to the previous AVIC Southwest has overcome a large number of third-generation aircraft key technology, so the 132 factory off the assembly line of the prototype has been 6, last year there was a prototype flight to the 630 National Test Flight Center for national testing.
This also means that in the intensive test flight of 6 prototypes, No. 10 is not far from the date of finalization, so Mr. Song, the chief designer of No. 10, can give a more accurate time node.
"No. 10 in April last year on the 4th aircraft flew to the National Test Flight Center, and three months ago there was already a full-state prototype off the assembly line into test flight, according to the plan to produce three more full-state test aircraft, probably in the second half of this year will be delivered to the Cangzhou trial training center for flight testing, if there is no big problem, we will be able to achieve a small batch of aircraft production next year, so after 10 years of research and development, it will finally succeed."
Sure enough, the chief designer knows the 10th best, and the development cycle of up to 10 years before and after is absolutely decent for a third-generation aircraft, which is six years ahead of the previous 10th, which is quite good and worth celebrating.
And the most important point is that No. 10 can be produced in small batches in 95, and perhaps in 96 years there will be mass equipment and initial formation of combat capability troops, as an air superiority aircraft, the formation of combat capability only needs to be able to master the skills of air combat, so that by the time of 96, the country has some other confidence.
"It is naturally good to be able to finalize the No. 10 project in ten years, but the meaning of the military is that the fourth-generation aircraft project will be carried out only after the development of our domestic third-generation aircraft is completed, probably because the army feels that there is not enough funds to support the development of a fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft at the same time, and if you want to develop a gold-swallowing monster-like fourth-generation aircraft, it is natural to come up with a lot of funds to support, so the current situation should be at least until the development and development of the J-18, I am afraid that the army will start the fourth-generation aircraft project."
Speaking of J-18, here is probably Yang Hui knows more, the specific situation is that the time schedule of this aircraft will be a year later than the 10th, and the 10th will be finalized and produced in small batches in 95, so the J-18 may have to wait until 96 to finalize the production, and in the Taiwan Strait crisis at that time, I don't know if the 18 can catch the last train.
But regardless of whether 18 can show its face in 96, it should be no problem to finalize it around 96, which means that the fourth-generation aircraft project will officially start in 96 or 97, and then it will be a battle between all parties.
"I probably calculated the time, the fourth-generation aircraft project should start in 96 or 97, and then we need to formally put forward a plan, depending on whether the military is satisfied with this, but we consider that the development of the fourth-generation aircraft will cost a lot of money, and maybe this project will still follow the road of joint development of the Navy and Air Force, so we are likely to follow the previous J-74 and J-75 research and development models."
For this kind of joint research and development project of the Navy and Air Force, the J-74 and J-75 models are absolutely the best, and the two units will cooperate in the early stage of development, and in the later stage, they will each develop special functional tests according to the different needs of the military branches, so as to truly maximize costs and benefits.
And this time, when it was mentioned that the Navy and Air Force would jointly develop and take the route of J-74 and J-75, Chief Engineer Yu and Chief Engineer Song were greatly relieved in their hearts, which naturally meant that although the 611 and 0111 units could not monopolize the project, everyone could still have a bite to eat after all.
The reason why the two chief engineers can have this kind of thinking is not because they have to eat a big pot of rice if they have an iron rice bowl, but because this time they both know each other's pneumatic plan, and they know in their hearts what opponent they have encountered, and neither side dares to say that their plan must be better than the other.
"It's not bad if you take the mode of J-74 and J-75, our two design institutes need to attack and defend the alliance now, and no matter who of us can win the project in the end, as long as we defeat the northeast, it means that this meat will rot in our own pot."
Chief Master Yu joked with a smile without scruples, and directly said the idea that the two sides should unite with the outside world, and at the same time attracted the nod of Chief Master Song's agreement, and now this situation is the best way for both sides, and it can also maximize the scientific research strength within AVIC Southwest to avoid falling into internal friction.
And even if this situation is bitter on the side of Chief Lu, as soon as the 0111 and 611 sides are united, it is obvious that the project of the fourth-generation heavy war is likely to fall into the hands of AVIC Southwest, and the northeast of AVIC, which failed in the fourth-generation heavy war, will inevitably focus on the fourth-generation light, and then there will be a fight with Hongdu.
And whether the country and the army will not let AVIC Southwest dominate in order to ensure that it will not be dominant, and the butt will be more biased towards AVIC Northeast in the fourth-generation light war project, this question seems to be known without thinking about it, and this is quite unfavorable for Hongdu.
Chief Lu chose to avoid the chaotic battle of heavy fighters at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the road of these four generations of light fighters might be more difficult to walk! (To be continued.) )
