Chapter 874: Prepare well
The development of the F-14E/F Super Tomcat fighter of the same level of the third-generation ++ fighter is indeed a little inappropriate, after all, at this time the American F-22 has been put into various intense test flights, indicating that after a period of time, it can even be directly produced and equipped to the US Air Force. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, although there have always been rumors in the United States that it will not sell F-22 fighters to the outside world, according to various past experiences, the battles that the United States banned from selling to foreign countries at the beginning did not all relax restrictions in the end, and the F-16 fighters of that year said that the ban on sales was so mysterious, and in the end, it .....
So at this time, there are really few people who think that the United States will always hold the F-22 in its hands, and it is not impossible that it will be sold everywhere like the F-15 at that time.
Then the question arises: "Commander, the Navy has developed an improved Su-27 fighter that can compete with the F-14E/F fighter, this idea seems very operational, but we will definitely face more than just the F-14E/F fighter in the future, the F-22 with the advantage of the next generation is our number one enemy, so our goal is the F-22, not the F-14E/F." ā
To be able to speak to the big financiers of AVIC Southwest like this, I am afraid that there will be no few people in the entire AVIC Southwest except Yang Hui, unless it is the chief designer of the company who is engaged in the design of the whole machine, and it is enough to play the title of academician of the Academy of Engineering.
As for whether Yang Hui's words are too feasible, of course, this is completely true, and now the layout of the Republic's third-generation aircraft is already very clear: Su-27, J-18, J-10, the three main fighters are absolutely suitable there.
If the army needs a large number of low-cost fighters in service in the later stage, in order to maintain the establishment, then whether it is the use of the J-74 series or the side plate lightning is a very good choice, of course, if you choose to combine the future new generation of advanced training aircraft, it is not indispensable to develop a low-cost combat training aircraft.
But in any case, it is definitely not worth it to continue to invest in the development of a third-generation aircraft, and it is also unwise, and it is obviously impossible to support the development of two heavy fighters at the same time! This situation is certainly impossible for the Republic to accept.
......
As the conversation between the two sides continues to deepen, Yang Hui continues to target the fourth generation, and the highlight is finally here: "In the future competition, we can not only be limited to the field of third-generation aircraft, through the tenth and J-18 two fighters, we have accumulated rich experience in the development of third-generation aircraft, and now it is time to catch up with more advanced footsteps, it is time to prepare for the development of a fourth-generation aircraft." ā
It's a pity that the Navy has long seen through everything, and it has long been clear about the various preparations for the fourth-generation aircraft in AVIC Southwest.
"Having said so much, in fact, you AVIC Southwest believes that you can't continue to invest your energy in the third-generation aircraft, but should turn to fully support the development of the fourth-generation aircraft, mainly because you have been prepared in this regard, as long as the military side is holding a bidding, then you AVIC Southwest can rely on this opportunity to put your carefully prepared fourth-generation aircraft on the table, and it is logical for you to get the fourth-generation aircraft project, right?"
Not only the navy, but even the air force has long known about the various moves of AVIC Southwest over the years, and the pre-research plan of AVIC Southwest's fourth-generation heavy fighter is almost well known to the senior level of the military.
At this time, Commander Zhang was able to directly expose Yang Hui's careful thinking with one sentence, which was actually not an accident, which everyone knew very well.
Yang Hui also admitted frankly: "That's right, it is not necessary for us to continue to make various improvements on the basis of the Su-27, and now the tenth is about to be finalized, and the J-18 will be able to announce the delivery in another year or two, and the domestic research and development work in the field of fighter aircraft has everything ready. ā
In the last republic, in fact, the fourth-generation aircraft program began in the late nineties, but the last one in the late nineties carried out only technical pre-research, and if you really want to say that when the model development was carried out, it was also only started after 2000.
And the model pre-research of this plane has even begun in 92 years, although there is no country and the army to help the trouble, just the product of the competition between the two head offices, but because of these competitions and the technical pre-research effect, in fact, compared with the results of the previous national project, it is more violent, otherwise AVIC Southwest would not dare to start the development of the fourth generation of light in 94.
This kind of frank admission also made Commander Zhang very satisfied: "I have long guessed that this meeting between us will finally talk about the fourth-generation heavy fighter, so let's simply talk about the four-generation heavy fight, first of all, your AVIC Southwest is really ready, this time you can come up with a heavy fighter that can compete with the American F-22?" ā
Regarding Commander Zhang's doubts, Yang Hui expressed his understanding, after all, the slogan of catching up with the United States in the Premier League has not been so popular in recent years, and everyone has long recognized the existence of the gap.
"Of course, we want to come up with a fighter that can compete with the American F-22, in fact, it has been planned for a long time, for which AVIC Southwest has been preparing for at least five years, from the engine to the supporting avionics, sensors, materials, manufacturing equipment, etc., we have been preparing for this for a long time, this is an excellent opportunity for our AVIC Southwest to impact the world's top aviation industry giants, it is certainly impossible to be sloppy."
When he said this, Yang Hui was also emotional, even he himself did not expect that in just over ten years, AVIC Southwest already has the basic structure of the world's super aviation industry giant, at this time what is needed is not how strong the company's capital is, but more to see if you have a few super projects that can be handled.
The relay satellite is a big project, and after the success of the UAV, it is also a big project that can make AVIC Southwest famous, but these are far from enough, representing the most cutting-edge fighter development in the aviation industry, which can be regarded as the foundation of a company to become a super-first-class aviation industry giant.
Although I don't quite understand the idea behind AVIC Southwest's project, the Navy is very satisfied with this responsible attitude.
"Very well, since that's the case, then we don't need to say more, let's get ready as soon as we get back! If you want to say that Mukden actually has its own fourth-generation aircraft project, probably in the second half of next year, our Navy and the Air Force will hold a joint bidding for the fourth-generation heavy fighter, so you should prepare well. ā
Maybe I feel that this is not enough now, and it should be explained more clearly: "Of course, this also means that I will not have too many ideas about the Su-27 overhaul, and I will soon purchase some J-82 to temporarily make up for the need for high-speed volleys. But rest assured, we will not miss any orders for J-18. ā
