Let's not talk about the air refueling technology now, this still needs to be coordinated by the army, but Yang Hui naturally has his own way to let the army speed up the development of air refueling equipment, and even introduce foreign refueling equipment.

"This makes sense, it's a problem of insufficient funding, or the priority of air refueling technology is not too high now, so let's talk about the design of the Super Seven itself."

Relying on in-flight refueling is never a good way, being able to have a little more range is a little range, and the so-called self-reliance is how to pick it out little by little.

When it comes to the issue of the new Super Seven, the Chief Engineer naturally has the right to speak: "There will not be much difference between our Super Seven and Super Jianjiao Seven, and the same equipment is used in radar, avionics, and engines. There are no problems with these in the new anti-sea combat attack aircraft. ”

What Chief Master Yu said is not false at all, these can indeed be universal, this is what Yang Hui planned to choose early on, if it can't be universal, it would be strange.

And the army side that Chief Yu said also has no opinions, the only problem is that the payload capacity of the new aircraft is a big problem at this time. In the aerodynamic design, in order to reduce the risk and speed up the development, the landing gear was not modified, after all, the training aircraft is only, and there are not many requirements for mounting.

It is completely enough to be able to hang a few trainer bombs, but as for the external fuel tank and heavy anchorage, how much is the need for these training aircraft? It's a big deal to vacate the hanging point of the belly.

This also leads to the fact that it is now necessary to make some changes to the landing gear installation position to change to the Super Seven multirole fighter, which is beyond doubt.

"There is definitely no problem with this, but the current Super J-7 is too wasteful in the arrangement of the landing gear, and the precious heavy-duty hardpoint position is occupied by the landing gear. This is absolutely not possible, the landing gear must be changed to belly landing gear. The two heavy hanging points on the left and right must be vacated for us. "The military side is quite firm.

The problem of freeing up heavy anchors is not that difficult, that is, it is just a change in the structure. This is still within the capabilities of the base, and what I am most afraid of is to say that it is necessary to make out some awesome avionics and engines.

As a model that is different from the J-7, the Super Seven must be changed. Chief Engineer Yu deeply understands this: "There is no problem, we can do it on the Super Seven, and we have the ability to modify the landing gear, are there any other problems needed?" ”

Others, it seems that the new aircraft really does not have any problems that need to be modified in a large area in other aspects, and the follow-up will be talked about later.

"Well, since you can do that. Then we don't have any problems for the time being, we will discuss this project immediately and come up with a result, and our meeting is quite fruitful. ”

It is a certain success, but this is far from enough, Yang Hui still has problems to be agreed, this is related to the air-to-air combat capability of the Super Seven, and it has to be taken seriously.

"There are results on the airframe, but we probably need to discuss the Super Seven missile again. If the medium-range interception capability of the Blue Fox radar is not well utilized, it will be a big waste. ”

In this era when the military and the defense industry are cutting back on food and clothing, waste is definitely the biggest crime, which cannot be tolerated, and must be dealt with seriously.

I was going to leave and report back to the imperial capital. If you still have questions when you hear it, you naturally need to listen patiently.

"Oh, medium-range missiles. This is a problem, and now we do not have suitable medium-range missiles. This really needs to be studied and studied, and waste is a crime. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, he suddenly asked again: "So." I don't know that in terms of your development as a new aircraft, the radar was also introduced by you, do you have any good suggestions now? ”

When it comes to the issue of medium-range missiles, in fact, this is really quite difficult, and the difficulty of medium-range missiles is mainly the missile's seeker.

This is the key to whether all missiles can hit the target or not, without a reliable seeker, everything is empty talk, no matter how powerful your radar is, no matter how much bomb load, no matter how long the range is, it is empty talk, the seeker is not good, how do you hit the other side?

There are too many such things, and the typical example is the US missile long live and missile universal theory in the Vietnam War. You don't see that during the Vietnam War, the US missiles always failed to hit enemy planes, and then the missiles ran out, and the machine guns were abandoned by the planes long ago.

Nine times out of ten, these are due to the problem of the seeker, either the components are unreliable, or the missile is chasing the sun, these are all losses of the seeker.

Now Yang Hui is thinking about a problem, how to do it. At least the so-called completely independent research and development of Yang Hui does not include any confidence, not that the Republic cannot develop it.

It is really the current time limit, it is better to produce results as soon as possible, at this time the introduction of a Western medium-range missile is a good choice, if you don't introduce it now, there is no way to introduce it after 89 years.

Yang Hui said bluntly when he had something to say: "I personally think that it is better for us to have a chance to introduce a reliable medium-range missile, but we really have no experience in independently developing medium-range missiles, and it may take a long time to develop them independently." ”

The lack of experience in the development of medium-range missiles is a well-known thing, and it is also a problem that must be admitted, and he nodded to indicate that what Yang Hui said was not wrong and that he could continue to talk about it.

"So, I personally think it's better to try to find a way to introduce a medium-range interceptor missile, in order to match the Blue Fox, it is naturally the best British sky flash missile, but this introduction may be quite small, and the current sky flash missile is quite a powerful medium-range interceptor missile, we had better think of another way."

When the Sky Flash Missile was developed, its performance was awesome, and it directly sat on the top spot of the most powerful medium-range missile in Western countries, and it is not even considered to be the world's level, and the medium-range missiles of the United States and the Soviet Union are really far behind.

Although this missile is modified from the AIM-7E-2 missile body technology of the United States, it is the world's first in terms of seeker: the world's first single-pulse semi-active seeker put into use, and this seeker is a product of the Republic's 'old friend' Marconi Company.

Similarly, for the first time, Sky Flash also has the ability to look down, which is the first third-generation medium-range interceptor missile with the ability to look down, and it is the world's first before the AIM-7 was mass-produced in 85.

Can such a missile republic be introduced into domestic production in eighty-five years? Yang Hui himself didn't believe it, but the British were not stupid at all, so at this time there was another target: Italy's 'Aspide' missile, which was also derived from the American-made AIM-7E-2.

This missile is not inferior to the sky flash missile in the seeker, the most important thing is that this missile is now short of money, and it was also tested in 74 years, but it is still not finalized in the current 84 years, and it is still being designed, and the real finalization is 88 years.

It's easy to say that the lack of money is easy to say, although the republic is also short of money, but as long as you are willing to use the money to make medium-range bullets, it will definitely be much easier to get Asped than to get a sky flash under the same circumstances.

"So I have two goals, the first is the Sky Flash Missile, if it can be obtained, it is the best, if it can't be introduced, then the current Italian Aspide missile is a feasible solution."

Yang Hui said that he could think of two missiles, and what to do depends on the choice of the military and the country's top leaders, and as a technician, he has now done the best he has the right to do. (To be continued......)
