Chapter 192: The Thoughts of All Parties
Yang Hui returned to the booth, waiting for whether there would be any unexpected surprises, and at the same time, the situation about the new Super Seven project also spread quickly, don't say anything that it is not the next day, newspapers and magazines have not yet come out, and the news will not spread on a large scale.
Which reporter who participated in the press conference has nothing to do with the company engaged in aviation manufacturing, and the ordinary people who want to know the news of Super Seven must wait until the newspaper is published, but the professional company has long known, for example, the current Northrop Company is in a hurry.
"What's going on, where did this Super Seven project come from now, why didn't we have any news before, in the face of this Super Seven, we are very passive now."
It was John, the president of Northrop who came to participate in the air show this time, and the situation of Northrop's F20 has a bad feeling.
Before this visit to the Farnborough Air Show, the F20 had suffered several major blows, so that there was no intention to order, and the initial F20 market was based on the fact that the United States did not allow the export of F16, and now the F16 has been allowed to be exported.
In several times and F16 competition is a fiasco, and even the company's high hopes for the first country in the universe order, not long ago also failed, 82 years has been the first flight of the F20 is now in an embarrassing situation without users, which makes Northrop executives very headache, so in this Farnborough air show is to invest a lot of money in publicity.
But this time, instead of waiting for the expected order, he waited for an opponent of the same level to appear, which almost made John angry, and now it seems that the prospects of F20 are even more worrying.
You don't have to think about it to know. If this Super Seven is developed, it will definitely be able to beat the F20 out. It's not that F20 will lose to this super seven in terms of the hard power of the fighter, on the contrary, F20 may surpass the super seven a little bit in technology.
But it doesn't do anything. Northrop alone will be able to kneel, and according to Northrop's plan, the F20 will probably cost no less than a thousand dollars. Now look at this super seven, I'm afraid the price is at most six or seven hundred dollars.
Looking at the power that supports the two aircraft, the F20 is a role in the United States that the grandmother does not love and the uncle does not love, and there is the F16 placed there, and the F20 is absolutely no place to get ahead. And the super seven here now seems to be the most advanced fighter of the republic, if the republic's army does not vigorously support it, John will not believe it.
This is a comparison between the two. The gap was immediately reflected, and the same light multi-purpose fighter was treated differently in different countries, which made Northrop feel very emotional.
To put it mildly, Northrop is bound by his own inherent thinking, always staring at the glorious performance of his F5 fighter back then, and always wanting to relive the glory of F5 in the new generation of fighters.
For example, the predecessor of the F18, the YF17, was also developed from the F5, and the F16 competed with the U.S. light fighter program but failed miserably, and finally took advantage of the Navy's new combat attack aircraft program to make the YF17 set sail again. But who knew that he was eaten by McDonnell Douglas, a conscienceless black.
With the money that McDonnell Douglas paid to Hanako, the grief-stricken Northrop picked up his heirloom F5 again, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the F16, which the United States does not allow exports, to re-scratch the F5. So there is the F20.
Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances, and the F16 dog thing was released by the president again, and directly robbed the market that F20 had planned. So now it seems that Northrop was really killed by his teammates in the United States.
F5 was changed to YF17, which was later developed into F/A-18. Later, the magic changed to F/A18E/F, and now who would dare to imagine that Super Hornet and F5 still have such a gene; Similarly, F5 has been changed to F20. These can only show that this kind of thing is really not just a rabbit club, and some people are even more awesome when they play magic reform.
These are all far away, or to the point, the current John feels quite bad in the face of this situation, there are super seven in the front, JAS39 in the way, and then F16 in the pursuit, it can really be described as embattled. The first time John had the idea of giving up on F20, this dangerous idea began to grow and sprout.
So much so that now John didn't continue to let his subordinates investigate the meaning of Super Seven, and the decadent John sat on the side, which made people sigh, this kind of thing is really powerless.
At the same time, the people of General Motors were very happy, and when they saw the decadent appearance of the president of Northrop on the side, they felt for the first time that the Red Republic did not seem to be so evil, at least now they had forced Northrop into a corner.
Maybe you can get in touch with them, provide some help, speed up the progress of Super Seven, and kill this annoying F20 as soon as possible, so as not to let this F20 still compete with himself in China for the National Guard's big orders.
GM naturally knows that the National Guard has a large order of more than 200 aircraft, but now the National Guard has been using the F20 to control the F16, hoping to force the F16 to reduce the price. This makes GM very unhappy, you have a chance to die, and you still want to disgust the uncle, the good thing of the bad uncle, it really deserves to be beaten, damned.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and now GM is holding this idea, and is ready to go back and think about it, is it possible to do this? However, will Yang Hui really be fooled into helping GM take out the F20 sooner?
It is necessary to know that it is also a light fighter, once there is no F20 to attract firepower, after it is difficult for General to concentrate, it will turn around and kill Super Seven, and fly F16 to the Republic to build a nest, this kind of thing has always had a market in China, of course, what will develop in the end is not something Yang Hui can predict.
At the same time, there are not many people who have ghosts, and these things are happening all the time at the air show. Now the Italian company Selenia is also entertaining a group of yellow-skinned East Asian visitors.
Selenia is now a standard European dick, no money and technology is not much awesome, this time to participate in the air show, are with other companies to fight a booth, can be described as extremely cold, today for the first time came to the booth to talk about the problem, which can make Selenia's air show person in charge happy.
"Oh, it turns out that we need an advanced medium-range missile, this is easy to say, our company has this kind of good thing, it is definitely suitable for you, you can look at the list of missiles in our company, we can sell these."
I was surprised to see so many lists, and the missiles on it really looked quite a lot and complete, but after carefully looking at the parameters, I understood why there were so many things.
Compared with the large amount of inventory in my warehouse, these things are completely unclear, and some are not even as good as their own, and after going through the list several times, there is no legendary Aspide missile, so it is difficult to have no such missile?
The 'pop' list was still on the table, and there was no need to continue looking at these things, so he took a sip of the coffee on the table, and then his face changed in various ways, and he finally eased up.
"Ahem, we've all read this list, to be honest, we all have the same level of these things, so we can't look down on these, why do we need more advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, which can be comparable to the sky flash."
Yes, this master has clearly defined the scope to the third-generation air-to-air missile, so what else is there to say, we can only say that we can't take it out, we really don't have the money to develop it.
"This, it's really unbearable, we really don't have such third-generation air-to-air missiles, and now only the United States and Britain can come up with such things in the world."
It goes without saying that now I can only leave, go to see the British, and while walking, I will talk about where Yang Hui came from, which is obviously unreliable.
"What Aspide, the Italian company has traveled all over it, but they haven't found this missile, it's really a waste of joy."
Although this was said very quietly, it was still heard by someone who cared, it turned out that this person was coming for Aspade, as if he hadn't completely closed the door this time. (To be continued......)
