Faced with various technical difficulties in the development of J-18, this makes Yang Hui also quite a headache, and he must also come up with a solution in the near future, how to continue without Northrop's J-18, which is a problem that Southwest Science and Industry needs to solve urgently.

If this kind of problem is not careless, let the technical personnel gnaw hard, and it can definitely be solved with time and funds to pile up, Yang Hui is a hundred reassuring and affirmative on one point, but the problem is whether it is the current Southwest Science and Industry, the army, or J-18, everyone does not have this extra time for technical research, in order to ensure the progress must find a unit that can replace Northrop.

The East does not shine brightly, and the West does not shine, and NATO does not shine on the Warsaw Pact? fell out with the American imperialism and went to Lao Maozi to assist in the design? This sounds like a bit interesting, the last 611 Thunder Dragon fighter came over like this, at first it cooperated with the American Emperor Grumman, and then due to the collapse of the imperial capital incident, and then found Mao Zi to take over, and finally became an artifact in the generation of magic reform projects.

But this kind of way is obviously not suitable for the current southwest science and industry, first of all, this J-18 has nothing to do with the Soviet fighter at all, and I am afraid that there will not be too much help to find Mao Zi to cooperate, and secondly, the structural design problem of the current J-18 must be solved this year.

Therefore, whether it is NATO or the Warsaw Pact countries, from now on, these two sides belong to the unreliable type, and the development of the J-18 can only be completed by domestic technology, even if you want to find another cooperative unit, it can only be found in the republic. In this way, it can be regarded as acceptable and feasible.

So. Yang Hui naturally thought of the opponent who also participated in the competition of the J-18 project: Hongdu, and found Hongdu to assist in the development of the J-18. This is a more reliable way, after all, this Hongdu still has some technical ability under the leadership of Chief Lu, although the design experience of the twin engine is not much, but it is barely better than the southwest science and industry.

In addition, Hongdu originally started by developing a strong attack aircraft (the strong five is a strong attack aircraft, in fact, it is already a combat attack aircraft, this guy has the body of a fighter at the beginning of the design, and can also conduct supersonic combat, no matter how you look at it, it is an early fighter attack aircraft design), although the current Hongdu failed in the bid for the new J. But Hongdu can be regarded as learning some technology in cooperation with Italy's Marqui company.

If what Southwest Science and Industry and Northrop learned was to take the high-cost route of precision munition attack, then what Hongdu learned from the cooperation with Markey Company is how to use excellent airborne auxiliary equipment (such as conventional ammunition landing point computer) to achieve "accurate" attack with conventional munitions, although it cannot achieve the accuracy of real precision-guided munitions, but at least dozens of times stronger than the old generation technology of the previous republic.

Take the Qiang-5M cooperated by Hongdu and Italy as an example, this aircraft does not have the ability to use precision-guided munitions, but through technical cooperation, the accuracy of the conventional ammunition attack of this aircraft is still more than ten times stronger.

If you think about it carefully, even if the J-18 is developed and purchased by the army of the Republic according to the plan. However, Yang Hui still has reason to believe that the Air Force will not use precision-guided munitions on a large scale in use, because the army is too poor, and it is presumably necessary to use cheap conventional attack ammunition in general ground support.

And. Hongdu's Qiangwu M also got a lot of good things when he cooperated with Italy, such as the helmet aiming technology that still makes Southwest Science and Industry drool, you really heard it right. Hondu came into contact with the helmet sight in cooperation with the Italian company Macchi. And this kind of thing is a technology that Southwest Science and Industry has absolutely not involved in the cooperation with Northrop, and now if it can cooperate with Hongdu. That's still a good thing to get.

But the problem is that the cooperation between Hongdu and Maji at this time was not all smooth sailing. Although Hongdu of this plane has received a lot of technical information from Maji Company, Hongdu of this plane and the technicians sent by Maji Company have never had a good communication, and they have always been incompatible.

Fortunately, Hongdu is not bad, able to understand the technical information by self-reliance, and improve it by himself, so it is still a blessing to say that Saiong is not a blessing, in a sense, this is also a kind of exercise for Hongdu, fortunately, Hongdu has survived all these years, and now it is still good.

As for how good the helmet aiming technology that Hong Du got, Yang Hui can also guess one or two, anyway, at most, it can integrate some preliminary hot wire aiming, auxiliary aiming technologies such as crosshairs, etc., and it is impossible to really integrate the technology of empty combat bullets, and this technology is still the signature selling point of Soviet fighters.

If you want to achieve this technology in the future, you can only see if you can go to the Soviet Union to Taobao in a few years, and if you can get this kind of technology, it will be the best, if you can't and don't worry, with the current technological level of the Republic, it will be possible to make it in five or six years at most.

Therefore, after some thinking about Yang Hui, it was finally decided to introduce Hongdu to participate in the development of J-18, which has a lot of benefits for Southwest Science and Industry, Hongdu and J-18, anyway, the current Southwest Science and Industry and Hongdu are also very good cooperation, L8 training aircraft is the result of joint investment between the two sides, and the TFE731 engine for localization in the future is also provided by Southwest Science and Industry.

All of these are fate, and it is impossible for the southwest science and industry not to come together with Hongdu, as for the army, it is better to say, the southwest science and industry is willing to cooperate with Hongdu, give full play to the advantages and strengths of both sides to reduce the risk of development, the army is too late to be happy, how can it be opposed.

The matter of J-18 can be put aside, and there is already a solution to the general problem, but Southwest Science and Industry is not just a simple company developing fighter jets and aero engines. It is not so simple to set up a photoelectric detection system company.

The reason why Southwest Science and Industry can have such a business is that Southwest Science and Industry has merged the 38th Radar Research Institute of the Republic, and the current project of this research institute is also promising, and it is also cooperating with Grumman to develop early warning patrol aircraft, which can be regarded as the foundation project of the early warning aircraft cause of the entire Republic.

Different from the cooperation between Southwest Science and Industry and Northrop, the early warning patrol aircraft of this cooperation with Grumman is carried out in the United States, which is not a good thing, as long as the United States bans it next month, how much technology can be brought back by the technical team sent here, in fact, no one knows.

At that time, if you don't do it well, you will end up with the 82 project of the previous person, and you can go, but don't think about things, you must leave them all in Grumman. As for the excuse, it is too simple: the equipment has been installed on the plane, and it cannot be disassembled, and it is also impossible to bring the equipment back to China for Southwest Science and Industry.

But under normal circumstances, the US imperialists never need excuses to do things, and they don't accept you to beat me! (To be continued.) )
