The development of an advanced trainer based on the JF-17 Lightning carrier-based fighter that is fully capable of adapting to all the needs of the training of third-generation fighter pilots is definitely a huge breakthrough and upgrade. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, when Yang Hui got the news, he was also surprised, as the head of the Southwest Corporation of AVIC, he must not only see the order of the Navy's carrier-based advanced training aircraft, but also the majority of them are still behind.

Sometimes it must be understood that many things are based on points, such as the JF-17 carrier-based advanced trainer project, according to the requirements of the Navy, it seems that this project is only because the Navy feels that after the success of the JF-17 carrier-based aircraft model, the advanced trainer is just a new idea based on the mature light multi-role carrier-based fighter.

But according to Yang Hui's point of view, this carrier-based multi-purpose advanced training aircraft project is not a major upgrade and improvement of the old Jianjiao-7A training aircraft?

At that time, the Jianjiao-7A training aircraft was based on the pilot training needs of the second-generation aircraft, although it was also due to foreign capital injection, and some training needs for the third-generation aircraft were considered, however, this was only a part of the needs of the third-generation aircraft.

For countries in Europe and the United States that serve a large number of two-seat trainer aircraft of the same type, they can indeed endure all kinds of backwardness of advanced training aircraft, but for the Republic Air Force and Navy, which are accustomed to living a hard life, they are still not very suitable for this luxury, so even after 2000, the Republic actually rarely purchases two-seat training aircraft of the same type.

After all, at that time, the military fighters of the Republic were mainly second-generation aircraft, supplemented by third-generation aircraft, and even the entire international military fighter market.

However, in the late nineties, and even after the future 2000, with the republic's military fighter procurement target to the third generation aircraft, the proportion of second-generation aircraft will continue to decline, and after 2000, the demand for new advanced training aircraft will inevitably appear.

At that time, the old Jianjiao 7A was completely impossible to meet the needs of use, and a large number of third-generation aircraft pilot training tasks must be piled up on the two-seat training aircraft of the same type of third-generation fighters, and this kind of training task, as mentioned above, is actually not very cost-effective.

Therefore, it can be expected that within ten years, the military of the Republic of China will have a rigid demand for an advanced training aircraft that can fully meet the needs of the third-generation training and even some of the fourth-generation aircraft training tasks.

After all, Yang Hui had considered a lot of problems at that time, such as the Northeast side of AVIC, which was cooperating with Iran to develop a quasi-third-generation aircraft based on the F-5 fighter, and obviously, such an aircraft is actually very suitable as a new generation of military advanced training aircraft, and then it will be an F-20 Tiger Shark in AVIC Northeast.

Ten years ago, the then Southwest Science and Industry provided the Northeast with the technology of the turbofan 10 leaky turbojet engine, although the subsequent AVIC Southwest has given up the subsequent upgrade and improvement of the engine, and instead devoted all its energy to the new core engine family.

However, AVIC Southwest gave up the turbofan 10 series engine, but it does not mean that there is no room for further development of the leaky turbofan 10 engine based on the turbojet 13, you must know that the volume of the turbofan 10 engine is not large, just heavier than the F-404 in the same volume, but with the United Aero Engine Company's large investment in these years, the Republic has made rapid progress in aero engine technology, which directly drives the comprehensive technological upgrade of the entire aero engine industrial system.

In this case, AVIC Northeast is still very good, at least selectively take some more practical technologies, do the turbofan 10 upgrade and improvement, and finally improve the turbofan 10 alive to the thrust-to-weight ratio of 7.5 level, although the thrust data has not increased, but in terms of the technical level of this engine, it has definitely reached the same level as the F-404 in the early eighties.

That is, relying on such an engine, coupled with Iran's intention to change and upgrade the F-5 fighter, so the Northeast naturally remembered the F-20 fighter that was killed by the JF-17 project.

Although Yang Hui is not clear about the progress of the Northeast and Iran in the project, but thinking about the F-20 level of aircraft, for the current AVIC Northeast, there should still not be too much pressure, and it can still be achieved with hard work, and even tomorrow Iran will fly the first third-generation military fighter, Yang Hui will not be too surprised.

As for whether it is possible to improve an aircraft of this class as the F-20 into an advanced trainer aircraft, this question does not need to be considered too much, it is absolutely feasible.

Although before Yang Hui's accident, he did not hear the news of the resurrection of the F-20, but later in 2016, when the US military tendered for a new generation of advanced training aircraft, Northrop. Grumman directly pulled out the original design of the F-20 after some simple stealth treatment, and at that time it was such an aircraft, it is said that it is still one of the best, and the possibility of winning the bid is second only to the T-50 of the mule and horse company.

Therefore, a light aircraft with a design similar to the F-20 definitely has the potential to be improved into a multi-purpose advanced training aircraft, and it can be met that in ten years, as long as there are no problems in the Northeast, it should be able to make all the relevant technologies well.

As for what Yang Hui envisioned back then, using the small push core machine as the basis to design a military afterburner turbofan small push, and finally re-take the route of L-15, it seems that it is almost impossible now. Now whether it is the southwest or the northeast, everyone has their own light aircraft foundation, even if the two sides want to bid for the next generation of advanced training aircraft in the future, everyone must also use a single push design, this is for sure.

So many possibilities, in fact, are based on Yang Hui's assumption that under normal circumstances, the result of the development and upgrading of military equipment of the Air Force and Navy, but the plan can never catch up with the change, and the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit suddenly inserted a pole and designated AVIC Southwest to design and improve the new carrier-based advanced training aircraft based on the carrier-based light multi-purpose JF-17, so what else can be said about this?

As long as the Navy's carrier-based advanced training aircraft project is won first, then after the same design is changed, the landing system can be removed and directly thrown to the roadbed for use. Even for the sake of safety, in fact, even the tail hook can not be canceled, after all, it is common for road-based aircraft to have an emergency landing tail hook, not to mention that this is a training aircraft that can happen in any situation, so there is no problem at all with the use of carrier-based advanced training aircraft as a road-based advanced training aircraft.

And at that time, the Air Force will let there be ready-made aircraft, and ask the Northeast to design a new advanced training aircraft?

Even if someone in the military dares to think about it, then absolutely no one dares to do this, not to mention the military, the direct government will not agree to the money bag, let the design is mature, the country has already purchased a large number of aircraft, diluted the cost of the aircraft do not use, to develop another new aircraft with a high purchase price, this is full of support, right?

Therefore, now the Navy has an order for a carrier-based advanced training aircraft, for AVIC Southwest, it is definitely a good thing for the present and the future, this project must be eaten, and this carrier-based advanced training aircraft is not only in domestic demand, and even all countries that have purchased JF-17 before are potential customers.
