After shattering Egypt's idea of reaping the benefits of the fisherman, and the entire negotiation continued, Egypt seemed to be much more sincere, and there were not too many twists and turns, and there were no more hard conditions that could not be negotiated.

All this is because when the contact with Egypt was there, the domestic army finally set its sights on it, and the army must evaluate a training aircraft developed in China, although the country has not established a project, but these are not problems.

In the republic's air force training system, pilots first have to learn the most basic flying skills at flight schools, and the equipment of these elementary flight schools has long been outdated.

The Republic Aviation School is based on the system of beginner 6/Jianjiao 5 aircraft, which will teach pilots the most basic flying and initial feelings about jet aircraft. These are all subsonic flight training missions, and it is naturally impossible for these aircraft to be used to equip flight schools.

In the 70s, the Air Force repeatedly proposed to develop a brand-new jet primary trainer to replace the Jianjiao-5 aircraft, but after all, the priority of these primary trainer aircraft projects was not as good as the fighter projects at that time, so they were naturally delayed again and again.

This has been delayed until now 86 years, and the Air Force finally couldn't help it, for Hongdu, a primary trainer aircraft that has completed its first flight, the army unabashedly expressed its interest, and even in 83 years, Hongdu has not yet contacted the Southwest Science and Industry, and the Air Force has been contacted earlier.

To say that the Air Force has no demand for this aircraft is completely false, and the backwardness of the old Jianjiao in China can be seen by everyone, and the Air Force Scientific Research Department, the Equipment Department, the Military Academy Department, the Order Department, and the Equipment Demonstration Institute have all studied and studied. But suffering from lack of funds, the L8 (K8 project is called L8 in Hongdu's internal code. This is well documented) The project has not been approved by the state after all.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, although this aircraft has not been approved by the state. However, the two richest units of Hongdu and Southwest Science and Industry cooperated to continue the development, which in the eyes of the Air Force was a great disaster for this aircraft.

Since the development of this aircraft continues and the first flight has been completed, what else is there to say. It had to be investigated, and even the Egyptians ran to the front, what a formality.

This is the scene when Yang Hui and they received the Egyptian delegation, and happened to meet Lin Fu, deputy commander of the Air Force, and when the domestic army came to visit, it was no longer a small family like the Egyptian delegation, and a large group of relevant experts came to Hongdu again.

"Your new plane made its first flight without even notifying you. You can't just give up the procurement of our army because the state has not given up the project for this aircraft, you should know that the army also has a great demand for this aircraft. ”

Lin Fu is really right, the first flight this time did not call the military leaders to visit, mainly because there is no project in the country, and it is completely troublesome to call the military leaders now without the project, anyway, now the funds for the development of the aircraft have been settled.

As for whether you like the army or not, the development progress of our aircraft is here, and you can talk about it yourself if you have needs. We are too lazy to be grandchildren. No, the army is really coming in a mess.

Chief Commander Lu and Deputy Commander Lin Fu also have some friendship, they are both old friends, and they are easy to say anything.

"Where. We're not busy dealing with the Egyptian side, this is our first project, so the main focus is on the Egyptian side. Now that Deputy Commander Lin is here, we definitely like it. Or let's hear about our aircraft. ”

This brought together the two main patrons of the army and Egypt, with the participation of the army of the Republic in this aircraft. Egypt is also even happier. After all, this is not only used by Egypt, but also more costs can be shared in the future, as for the bidding has long been forgotten aside, it is better to be pragmatic now.

This idea is not only in Egypt, but also in the military that comes to examine the new aircraft, after all, the herd mentality is shared by everyone, and even more so in the major equipment procurement of aircraft.

Since the aircraft can attract foreign orders without domestic orders, the performance of this aircraft must be very good, and it must not be missed.

"We have long paid attention to the development of your aircraft, although the state has not approved the project, but our army has been paying attention, and now we have brought good news: the aircraft you developed has entered the national project review process, and I am here to inform you of the good news."

This is good news, the aircraft has entered the national project review process, which means that the aircraft is about to be repaired, with the domestic army, Egypt's procurement, the new aircraft can get rid of the black identity in a bright light, and become a regular army. The first person who was excited was not Yang Hui or Hongdu, but the Krim from Egypt.

"This is really good, if your military also purchases this aircraft, we in Egypt will have less risk of introducing this aircraft, and we can now directly enter the specific cooperation details negotiation link later."

Hearing Egypt's words, everyone was excited, the domestic army came this time was really timely, not only brought the news that the new aircraft had entered the domestic project review process, but also injected a shot of strength into the Egyptians, and suddenly felt that this army was not so ignorant of human accidents, this is not a good thing?

"Well, well, with the order of our domestic army, coupled with the cooperation of Egypt, the development progress can be smoother, and it can be finalized in 88 years at the latest, and we can guarantee this."

Yang Hui also thought a lot,

But he thinks more about the possibility of this aircraft to obtain a domestic project, the last face of this aircraft project was in 92 years, but at that time the domestic K8 first flight was in 90 years, and there is not much difference between the project and the first flight.

As a result, now that the first flight of K8 has been successful, and the army has come to contact, there is nothing impossible to prepare for the project, and it is basically reliable.

This aircraft was developed five years in advance, Yang Hui originally thought that he would not be able to create a record in his previous life, but now it seems that everything is predestined, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

The market problem of the aircraft has been solved, but in terms of technology, Yang Hui has been worried, after all, this aircraft is a training aircraft, although it is not as complex as a fighter and attack aircraft, but there are also training aircraft that also have their own technical difficulties.

After the general questions were discussed, Yang Hui and Shi Ping went to the side alone, there were some things to discuss, and the technical questions had to be answered by the chief engineer.

"Chief Shi, our aircraft has been successful for the first flight for some time now, should we consider the problem of tail spin test flight, this is a training aircraft must do the project, we have no experience in this area in China, and the tail spin test equipment is impossible to talk about."

The tailspin test does not have much demand in ordinary aircraft, and is directly done by experienced test pilots, and it is commonly said that combat aircraft, passenger aircraft, and transport aircraft do tailspin tests, just to get data, write flight manuals, and let the user of the aircraft know the flight envelope of this aircraft, and try to avoid tailspin.

In the test of these aircraft, experienced test pilots can change it by themselves with their own skillful technology, and there is not much demand for anti-tailspin equipment, and manpower can do it.

But when it comes to the trainer plane, it's a different matter entirely, the trainer plane is mainly about training pilots, which pilot dares to say that he has not entered the tailspin? In particular, fighter pilots are even more commonplace in these matters, which requires that in the early training of pilots, there is a special tail spin to change the training subject.

It is necessary to specially train pilots to do tail spin changes, which poses a rather serious problem to the development of training aircraft: frequent entry and exit of tail spin also requires controllable and reliable, and this project is much more difficult than other test flight projects (to be continued......
