Chapter 385: The Expensive One Can't Breathe

There is always a limit to the air show, and the oil is not much with it, and the afterburner is opened to do vertical climbing, and after the aerodynamic advantages brought by the large side strip wing are demonstrated, the plane can only land in a regular manner.

The use of large side strip wing technology not only brings the excellent maneuverability of the YZ1 demonstrator, but also highlights the key indicator of aircraft landing, at least much better than the double delta wing aircraft such as the J-74.

Otherwise, why did the world Meidi use F18E/F as a carrier-based aircraft, and it can also land with a lot of weapons during landing, it is definitely based on F18E/F's excellent aerodynamic technology to cause the art to be bold, and this is closely related to the excellent take-off and landing performance brought by the large side strip wing joint.

Like a ballet dancer in the blue sky, the YZ1 entered the venue in a gentle arc, the wheels gently wiped the ground, and two wisps of green smoke rose from the friction between the wheels and the ground, continuing to press down the nose landing gear, and the plane completed the landing.

According to the plan discussed at the beginning, the plane did not return to the hangar after taxiing for a while, but came to the crowd of spectators, and it was necessary for the military researchers to take a look at the aircraft on the spot.

The plane came to a standstill, the engines were turned off, and the pilots walked off the plane tiredly with the help of ground crew, usually having a polite conversation with the test pilot at this time, but now the test pilots are obviously not as attractive as the YZ1 demonstrator.

The navy's eyes were sharp, and the first one rushed over and climbed the boarding ladder to see what this wing was designed to look like, and why it was so powerful.

Facts have shown that the large side strip wing can always bring different sensory stimulation to people, looking at this side strip wing that is obviously not in line with the international mainstream. The research team is messy!

With a stomach full of questions, he shook his head and retreated. walked straight to Yang Hui's side: "Yang Hui, the strip wing technology on your side seems to be very different from the international mainstream edge strip wing technology!" I think the wing area is much larger here. Will it definitely bring more weight, is it because we don't have the best technology? ”

For the first time, it is definitely the first time to hear this interpretation of the difference between the large side wing and the conventional side strip wing, which is obviously a level higher than the conventional side strip wing, and it is possible to say that it is an expedient measure that has to be taken because it is backward from the conventional side strip wing, is this ignorance?

Although the military has not been ventilated before, and the differences and advantages of large side wing technology and conventional side wing technology have been explained, there is no need for you to look down on the technical strength of Southwest Science and Industry so much! However, this is still the leader of the research team sent by the navy, and he also serves as his future old father-in-law. Yang Hui couldn't say anything more.

I can only be ready to explain, I blame myself for this, I didn't disclose any news in advance, and the secrecy was too good. Just as Yang Hui was about to explain, Northrop, a partner of the YZ1 demonstrator, quit.

You can look down on Southwest Science and Industry, that's your own business, but this YZ1 verification machine is Northrop's participation, and what Northrop has come up with, how can it be backward technology. No matter how you want to be the mainstream of the world!

"No, Mr. Yang, I think I should emphasize that the large side wing technology is another milestone in the development of edge wing technology. He's a lot more advanced than the average sidestrip wing, and it's definitely not a sacrifice made because of the lack of technology you're talking about. ”

This guy was even more excited than Yang Hui when he spoke, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the technology of the big side strip wing was so misunderstood. Pop it up and have to explain. And Yang Hui will try to save as much as possible if he can save saliva, whether you admit it or not. Foreigners can always speak more credibly than the natives of the republic.

Originally, I was going to ask Yang Hui what was going on, but I didn't expect a Westerner to suddenly pop out from the side. He also corrected what he just said with a look of indignation, and it sounded as if the edge wing technology used by this YZ1 demonstrator exceeded the current international mainstream level.

The Navy has not yet digested it, and the Air Force research team seems to understand something: "This side wing is more advanced than the side wing used on the American F16 aircraft?" This won't be a box for me, right! ”

The Air Force reacted and began to carefully inquire about the specific situation of the YZ1 verification aircraft, especially the large side strip wing technology, and did not hear that this thing is more advanced than the F16!

Behind is the Navy and Air Force bombing in turn, the YZ1 demonstrator has conducted in-depth research on various indicators, it seems that there is a great interest in the big side strip wing, and here, the goal of Southwest Science and Industry and Northrop inviting the army to watch the ceremony has been achieved.

Leaving the field and returning to the conference room, it is time to decipher the ins and outs of the YZ1 verification machine, as well as the mystery of the life of this verification machine, as well as the evaluation of the pedigree.

"That's exactly what happened, it's just a technology demonstrator, we don't have any intention of continuing to develop it, it's very low value for money, it's as maneuverable as the early F16 models, it's just a close-quarters combat machine."

Speaking of F16, Northrop can't hide the hostility in his heart, of course, there is also disdain for the F16A/B model, if it is a pure dogfight aircraft, the current F16 will not be upgraded on a large scale, modified avionics, radar, and increased the ability to launch medium-range bombs, so from this aspect, Northrop's F20 was very prescient at the beginning to determine that it would be able to hit medium-range bombs.

Northrop is very disdainful of the F16, a dog fighting that can only fight in close quarters, but this does not mean that the Republic Navy and Air Force also think the same, as the Republic Navy and Air Force Aviation has always regarded dog fighting as a housekeeping skill, an aircraft comparable to the existence of the F16 in maneuverability, that is the existence of drooling!

In particular, the Air Force, which does not have high requirements for the multi-purpose of the aircraft, is even more drooling, and it seems that this seems to have the meaning of righting the YZ1 verification aircraft.

"This doesn't matter, I just ask if this aircraft can continue to develop, whether it can really reach the combat effectiveness of the F16A / B model, if you can Southwest Science and Industry can finalize this aircraft in a few years?"

The Air Force's little ninety-nine is not simple at all, and the current YZ1 verification machine has completed technical verification. If it continues, it will be possible to enter the prototype production test stage immediately. At most, it will take about three years to figure it out.

Compared to Project 10, which is currently in the detailed engineering design stage, it is much faster. And the technology of this aircraft has been verified, proving that it is indeed feasible, and the radical canard aerodynamic layout of Project 10 knows what will be able to give the whole thing in the end.

This is a very suitable option, the Air Force research team at this moment faintly has a taste of replacing the No. 10 project with YZ1, Yang Hui doesn't know all this, even if he knows, he can only laugh at it, no matter where it looks at it, it is not realistic to straighten the YZ1 now, and make a Thunder Dragon.

"The cost of our aircraft is not low at all, and the army really has the money to afford it? Let me briefly talk about the unit price of the J-74 T purchased in Thailand. This aircraft is only based on the J-74 fuselage for upgrades, and the purchase unit price has reached 12 million US dollars, although it is only half the price of the F16A/B model, but this is not low! ”

Hearing that Gao Southwest Science and Industry can sell the J-74 improved aircraft to a price of 12 million US dollars, this can really make the Navy and Air Force research team jump, this is just the price of the J-74 upgrade, so what sky-high price will the YZ1 reach in the future.

It is necessary to know that the unit price of the Jian-7T is 12 million US dollars, and based on the current exchange rate of 3.7 between the famous currency and the US dollar, this is a 45 million famous coin. Who can afford this Nima.

Even if the model used in China should be cheaper, but 30 million US dollars must be there, remember that this is only the price of the J-7T, if you build a more advanced YZ1. The cost will immediately pull up the cheap 15 million, think about the price of up to 45 million.

Both the Navy and the Air Force can only retreat, although the current J-74 and J-75 are more expensive than the old J-7. But it is only the cost of 10 million coins, and the increase in combat capability brought by these two aircraft is combined. Whether it's the Navy or the Air Force. Gritted his teeth and took out the money to buy it.

But the problem is that the cost of this YZ1 is too high right now, and it costs to buy a YZ1. It's enough to buy five J-74 and J-75, and the cost is simply overwhelming.

I thought that when the Republic itself could produce third-generation fighters, the price of purchasing third-generation fighters would be reduced, but when it comes to this time, the price is still high!

Very helpless, the research team is relatively speechless, only a thousand lines of tears, this thing is better to see, to say that the purchase of this kind of tyrant aircraft is probably still early. At this moment, I suddenly found that the slow progress of the No. 10 project does not seem to be a bad thing, on the one hand, it is slow to work hard, and on the other hand, you don't have to be busy with money for procurement.

It is really poignant to think about this situation, and the army also has a time when it is mixed to this point, it is really poignant, it used to be said that the army does not have good equipment because the domestic military industrial system cannot provide good equipment, but now I find that this is not the case at all, which is obviously caused by the poverty of the army!

"Then forget it, I'm afraid we can't afford to purchase this kind of aircraft now, it's better to keep it as a technical reserve, it will definitely be able to be used in the future, this big side wing technology is really advanced, and it can definitely not be outdated for 30 years."

Full of reluctance and regret, the research team looked listless in the technical evaluation in the back, when can it be more sad than now, obviously put good things but can't use them, this is strange to have a good spirit.

In the evaluation meeting, of course, the cost of the YZ1 technical demonstrator project should be finally reviewed, and after the cost was evaluated, Yang Hui was most concerned about the cost of the fly-by-wire flight control system hardware of this aircraft.

When the price of $2 million broke out, Yang Hui still took a deep breath of cold air, and sure enough, it was still expensive as expected, which was still the cost price given by Northrop because he was a participant in the YZ1 technology verification machine.

If the YZ1 aircraft is really finalized and produced, the price of purchasing a set of fly-by-wire flight controllers is definitely not this price, and it may be difficult to win without the cost of nearly 10 million coins, which is the consequence of the key technology being controlled by others.

All this shows that it is very unrealistic to make a third-generation aircraft at this stage and purchase and use it on a large scale, even if it can be finalized before 90.91, I am afraid that the army will not be able to afford it, not to mention that before that time, the Republic will have to say happy to break up with US imperialism.

Everything still has to rely on yourself, independence is particularly necessary at this time, Yang Hui has to think of the side plate technology! (To be continued.) )

PS: I was going to have three changes, but after writing it down, I found that the current chapter progress should still be compressed, so it was pressed into a more than 3000 words, and there was a more one later, which should also be 3000.
