With the start of the Pakistani production line, this marks the market share of the J-74 fighter has increased again, there are 100 orders from Iraq, 70 orders for upgraded J-74 from Thailand, plus more than 20 from Yemen, and these export orders produced by Southwest Science and Industry have been close to 200.

The domestic army does not seem to be much now, only about 60 aircraft, but fortunately, the domestic orders are continuous, with the continuous retirement of HNA's J-6 in the future, the orders for the J-74 will continue to come, which will continue until there are more excellent aircraft will stop purchasing.

Now Southwest Science and Industry seems to have no fighter development project on the surface, but secretly there is a plan, the new twin-engine multi-purpose because of the need to consider the DSI air intake, naturally have to continue to drag on for another year or two before it is possible to officially start the engineering development stage.

But another test aircraft is flying happily, YZ1 verification aircraft is a demonstration aircraft for the development of large side strip wing technology by Southwest Science and Industry and Northrop, and the data on the technical performance of large side strip wing has long been available.

Originally, the YZ1 verification machine was about to close the Southwest Science and Industry History Showroom, and it was ready to eat ashes when it fell aside, but Northrop has been in business for a long time, and the current YZ1 verification machine is ready to end when it completes its mission.

In Northrop's opinion, this is not enough, this aircraft still has a very important thing to do, since this aircraft is to verify the technology of the large side strip wing, and the large side wing technology is the aircraft to be sold to the army of the Republic in the future, then should the leaders of the army of the Republic be invited to take a look?

"We've now fully figured out the YZ1 Demonstrator, and it turns out that the YZ1 Demonstrator has a big side strip wing. Performance has been greatly improved at this great moment. We should call our biggest purchasers in the future to watch. ”

Vice President Northrop, who has been stationed in Southwest Science and Industry, has become more familiar with Yang Hui since he and Yang Hui worked together to pull out the DSI air intake project. It's like an old buddy who has come from the three major irons in life, and his speech and advice are more straightforward and show the American style.

Yang Hui agrees with this style and agrees with this idea even more: "It is indeed time to call our naval leaders to see the last and most gorgeous performance of the YZ1 demonstrator, which will also be the ultimate demonstration of YZ1's large-sided wing technology!" ”

Show the YZ1 demonstrator to the army, show them the superiority of the large side strip wing technology, and let them know that in the republic, in addition to the 0611 has its own unique canard aerodynamic layout, it also has its own unique skills in the southwest science and industry.

As soon as he said and did, Yang Hui temporarily stopped the last test flight of the YZ1 technical verification. I was busy calling the domestic navy and air force bigwigs, and I wanted to invite the southwest science and industry to take a look.

Although the Air Force is the purchase of the J-75 aircraft produced by Chengfei, this does not mean that the Air Force's J-7 series aircraft are all monopolized by Chengfei, and the indispensable Jianjiao-7A aircraft can still only be purchased from the Southwest Science and Industry.

Needless to say, most of the purchase orders for combat aircraft of HNA in recent years have been scattered to Southwest Science and Industry, and when I heard that Southwest Science and Industry had a new guy to pull out, I sent a team with anticipation and apprehension.

I can't help it! In recent years, Southwest Science and Industry has broken out good things again and again. Every time the Navy is called to the Southwest Science and Industry, the Navy can't return in the end, and the Southwest Science and Industry has just squeezed out the last 'private money' in the new early warning patrol aircraft project, and now it is said that there are good things. in case of

No matter how worried the navy is, the equipment researchers who were selected to do research in the Southwest Science and Industry are still confident, and the Southwest Science and Industry has done its best to do some good things, which is well known to everyone. Now I finally have the opportunity to take a look at it again.

Not surprisingly, the Navy and Air Force research team reunited. found that this time the Southwest Science and Industry called the Navy and Air Force, and it seemed that they wanted the whole big news?

"Old Yang. I met you again, does the Navy have any news about this operation of Southwest Science and Industry? Our air force still doesn't know the situation, and even the military representatives can't tell what is going on this time! ”

The Air Force doesn't know, and the Navy doesn't know either, so it can only be a mouthful!

"Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Southwest Science and Industry, there is no news from our navy before this, I asked my daughter Yang Yue privately, and she didn't say it mysteriously, I am still looking forward to it."

After the two research teams converged, they happily stayed in the Southwest Science and Technology Guest House, but did not ask what 'big meal' the Southwest Science and Technology Industry had prepared for them, and they could understand everything after sleeping for one night

A day full of anticipation has started again, for the project that Southwest Science and Industry has been reluctant to say, the final mystery can finally be revealed today, and the group was taken to the runway of the test flight station early.

"What's going on? What kind of aircraft are you going to test fly, I remember that now the projects in the test flight of Southwest Science and Industry have been completed, and it seems that there is no new aircraft to test flight, and there is no need to sell it at this time! ”

What sells the gate is that time has indeed passed, but Yang Hui has no intention of explaining, no explanation is useful in real objects, and the visual impact is the most memorable.

As Yang Hui pointed in the direction to look over, a 'J-74' aircraft was drawn out of the hangar, and the YZ1 verification aircraft was developed from the J-74 basis. It wasn't until the plane taxied to the nearest runway that I gradually realized the difference in this aircraft.

The top of the air intake of this J-74 is covered by a long side strip, which looks like the inner delta wing surface of the double delta wing with a super sweep angle, which is quite similar to the existence of the side strip wing.

immediately turned his gaze to the leader of the Air Force research team next to him, and he was dazzled: "Lao Li, is this the side strip wing?" Hurry up and make sure, I'm still a little hard to believe. ”

Surprised and delighted, he smashed his eyes, and was suddenly a little overwhelmed by the J-74 derivative aircraft produced by the Southwest Science and Technology Industry, and now he needs to confirm it with the Air Force.

The Air Force research team is different, the Air Force has had a long period of love for the F16 aircraft, and it is still no stranger to the side strip wing, and it recognized this as the edge strip wing at the first time.

However, as the details of the side wing of this aircraft were seen more clearly, the Air Force also found that the side wing of this aircraft was very different from the side wing of the F16 aircraft seen before.

hurriedly replied to the navy: "Yes, this must be the side strip wing, but it seems to be a little different from the international mainstream side strip wing, I have to take a closer look." ”

As he spoke, he looked around for a commanding height, and he had to have a relatively high position to look down on the wing of this aircraft at a better angle, which could solve the doubts in his heart.

So the stool that was originally used to make it was bad, no matter how much I would sit on this stool later, I stepped on it with one foot, and I felt a higher sense of superiority when I got off the plane, and then I saw the whole plane clearly, especially the most critical side wing.

Just as he was about to continue looking, the aircraft engine suddenly started, and as all the movable wings began to self-test under the control of the fly-by-wire system, the airplanes seemed to come to life and moved regularly.

"That's right, this is Wing Strip Wing, absolutely!"

Standing on a stool pointing to the airplane, greeting the naval research team with the other, his excited expression was like Columbus had discovered a new world, and he couldn't wait to share it with others. (To be continued.) )
