A large military fighter project is handled in the way of the United States imperialism and Soviet repair, and usually there will be about five units such as the new J-J bidding to put forward a plan, and finally the remaining two plans will be screened by the army, and then the remaining two plans will be made to manufacture prototypes for engineering test flights, and finally speak through the actual engineering test flight data.

When the F-16 project of the US imperialism was accompanied by YF-17 to play soy sauce, when the F-22 was accompanied by YF-23 to play soy sauce, and when F-35 was to play soy sauce, such a powerful local tyrant behavior was naturally because the US imperialist had enough funds to squander, but the current republic did not have that fund, and the final winner could only be determined when the paper plan was bidding.

At this time, the team of experts has already grown, and the gods from the 611 Institute, Xifei, and Fengtian Institute are all with sharp eyes, and when they heard that they were going to play like this this time, Xifei was the first to stand up.

Xifei is not deep in the field of fighter jets, and Chief Chen naturally has to give an evaluation according to his own views, he has no research on variable swept wing technology, but he can always say a word or two about the conventional aerodynamic layout, and through the cooperation between Xifei and Southwest Science and Industry over the years, it seems that the comprehensive strength of Southwest Science and Industry is stronger.

"I don't understand the quality of the variable-swept wing aircraft, but I absolutely admire the conventional aerodynamic layout adopted by the Southwest Science and Industry Program, and technically I think it is the best design. The reason why I want to support the Southwest Science and Industry Plan now is that the Southwest Science and Industry has rich experience in the design of third-generation fighters, and has had a certain amount of technical exploration and engineering application of the technology to be used in this new fighter. and the strong financial support of Southwest Science and Industry itself, after these reasons are combined. I think it is the best choice for Southwest Science and Industry to win this project. ”

Chief Engineer Chen did not evaluate the technical scheme too much, but it is indeed a good starting point to evaluate the external strength of Southwest Science and Industry. As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the entire review team lit up, and some members of the review team even had an answer in their hearts.

Hearing that someone stood up to support Southwest Science and Industry, or the kind of person who directly said that Southwest Science and Industry was the most powerful in addition to technology, Deputy Chief Engineer Shi of Hongdu immediately responded.

"Although that is said, we have also done a lot of research on variable swept wing technology, and in terms of financial strength, because of the export of L8 training aircraft, it will not be much weaker than Southwest Science and Industry. Moreover, this time we are doing a technical evaluation of the project plan, and we should use the technical strength of the plan to speak, our variable sweep wing scheme has the best flight quality at high, medium and low altitudes. Ground attack, mid-altitude combat, and high-altitude interception can all be done, and this is definitely the most suitable all-round fighter for military use. ”

This can be said without a lie at all, and the variable sweep wing is so awesome. The famous American F-14 has achieved the organic integration of these three points, at the beginning the F-14 was designed to provide the fleet with long-range air defense to intercept the incoming backfire bombers, after the new F-401 engine was installed, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine increased, and then the empty dog fight was also quite good, and even in the Iraq War, this guy also hung a large number of iron bombs, and carried out a large number of ground attacks.

This is the awesomeness of the all-round fighter, who else can do this? For this. Hongdu also got on the thief ship with variable swept wings, and was still stuck in the quagmire and could not extricate himself. The specific performance is what Deputy Chief Engineer Shi said now, which surprised everyone present, this is obviously an aircraft that has robbed everyone of their jobs!

For example, Fengtian at this time: "How can this plan achieve excellent high-altitude and high-speed interception capabilities." Originally, your plan was a bit overweight, and the high-altitude performance of the turbofan 12 engine was definitely to be abandoned in exchange for low- and medium-altitude thrust, so we couldn't think of how your plan could achieve high-altitude and high-speed interception operations. ”

Mukden has already failed twice in a row in the project of a third-generation fighter. I also know that the future will be very difficult, and now I hear that the Hongdu plan will also come to seize the share of the high-altitude interceptor procurement of the Jian-8. You don't want anyone to live, this is absolutely not good. So there was a side of Fengtian who jumped up to express his opposition. And there seems to be some truth in what this is saying, which makes it impossible to refute it.

And with the strength of Fengtian's side, Yang Wei of the 611 Institute can't sit still, this Hongdu plan can threaten Jian-8 with a high-altitude volley, and it can also threaten the No. 10 project in air superiority and volley operations, and the No. 10 project is positioned as an empty dog fight and a rapid volley, which seems to fully overlap with the Hongdu plan.

Who did I recruit in 611 to provoke whom, this bidding is to accompany you to play together, for the progress of our No. 10 project, this time they will automatically withdraw from the competition, so know how to be an honest scientific research institute will also be bullied, this will definitely not work.

"That's right, the Hongdu plan is not only that the engine is not suitable for high-altitude and high-speed interception, but also that the airborne radar is probably not suitable for air interception operations, after all, this is only a medium-sized fighter project, and the size of the nose will definitely limit the size of the radar, and long-range air interception cannot be achieved without a large-caliber radar. The U.S. F-14 can conduct powerful air interception operations because it has a huge AWG-9 radar with excellent performance, but I don't think the Hongdu program can be equipped with such a big thing as the AWG-9. ”

In one breath, he continued to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the Hongdu plan, and there was nothing wrong with what Yang Wei said, there is no caliber and powerful radar, and expanding the interception capability of the fighter is a joke, and the air interception capability of the Hongdu plan is definitely a gimmick that does not exist.

Seeing that the chief engineer of Fengtian Institute and the 611 Institute bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of Hongdu's plan, Deputy Chief Engineer Shi was also reflecting on what the situation was, and it seemed that it was really as mentioned earlier, under the constraints of the engine and body, it was not as easy as Hongdu planned in the early stage.

For a while, the whole venue fell into deep contemplation, and after a long time, it was because of the first action of the judging team that the entire deadlock was broken, and this time the breaking of the frontier was destined to have the final dust settled.

"After the joint evaluation of relevant experts, as well as the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Republic of the Air Force, and the Navy, the bidding for the new J-th project has reached the final result, and we unanimously decided to award the project to Southwest Science and Industry, and Southwest Science and Industry will continue to improve the design scheme brought by it."

Director Ding announced the results of the project this time, but at such an important moment, the army can't have a sense of existence, fortunately, the army still has a piece of news in its hands and has not announced it, and now is the right time.

The commander-in-chief of the Air Force did not attend the meeting, but Commander Liu of the Navy paid attention to the entire project bidding, and it was time to stand up and speak on behalf of the army.

"First of all, I would like to express my congratulations to Southwest Science and Industry for winning the project bid, and secondly, I hope that Southwest Science and Industry can complete the design requirements with quality and quantity, and finally I announce that the official code name of the new army is: J / Qiang-18."

Speaking of the 18 numbering this time is still a little interesting, according to the army's statement: according to the idea of naming J/F-17 in Southwest Science and Industry, the 18th code name of the new J is also because the army hopes that the new J can reach at least the same level as F-18 in terms of combat capability, and it is best to be higher.

Of course, Yang Hui didn't know this, but according to Yang Hui's thoughts, this number seemed to be good. Think about the combat nature of the two fighters in front of this number: J/Strong, it seems that the two words have a completely different feeling when they are switched to a different position: Strong/J.

Is this to force the F-18? My taste for turtles is really getting more and more (to be continued.) )
