The testing of aero engines requires a series of large-scale test equipment groups, starting from the testing of parts and components to have a variety of test equipment, followed by subsystem testing, and finally the engine test, which involves a variety of real equipment.

After having a test bench, there is a need for a high-altitude platform, and after having a high-altitude platform, a flight platform is needed. However, this time Yang Hui does not plan to approve the investment in the construction of the flight platform, that thing is already used in the later tests of the aero engine development, and it will not take long, many tests have been simulated in the high-altitude platform, so there is no need to invest valuable money in this at this time, the great input and output are not proportional.

In the restructuring of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry last year, the newly established National Flight Test Institute was responsible for the test flight and certification of all aviation aircraft, including engines. I heard that the newly established National Flight Test Institute has started the construction of a new flight station, and it seems that it is going to purchase Il-76 aircraft from Russia and come back for renovation. As for the flight platform for the turboshaft engine, I heard that it is also in full swing, so let's not worry about it. ”

Waving his hand, Yang Hui also made a look of no worries, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, if it really made AVIC Southwest invest heavily in the high-altitude platform, and then invest in the construction of the flight platform, the other units under the head office will be blown up if they don't do well.

And this time, Chief Engineer Lu of Hongdu, who has never had a sense of zài under AVIC Southwest, suddenly spoke, and this time he proposed a big project involving the entire design unit of AVIC Southwest, which made Yang Hui look sideways.

When it comes to business, Chief Engineer Lu seems quite energetic: "It is definitely not enough to revitalize the entire aviation industry with excellent aero engines, although I admit that aero engines are very important, but excellent aerodynamic design is also essential, so I propose that we can now start to study the exploration of new aircraft aerodynamic layouts for the needs of the next 20 years." ”

The aerodynamic exploration project of the future aircraft, this is a very interesting and necessary project, especially in the special stall of 92, the world's major hooligans have their own (2) dǐng (2) diǎn (2) small (2) said, .2∷3.o ■ s_ (); The third-generation fighters, whether they are under development or have already been equipped with troops, show that the third-generation fighters will soon become universal equipment.

The research on the fourth-generation fighter is finally about to kick off, and the most concerned about the fighter is the 611 Song Division, which is now responsible for the No. 10 project, and the 0111 Yu Division, as well as the Hong Dulu Division, which led to the entire project.

"Fourth-generation fighter"

Then the three of them looked at each other again, and they all smiled knowingly, although the three units had competed before, but this did not prevent everyone from unifying their caliber at this time when it came to the development of the next generation of fighters, which was out of professional instinct and professional ethics.

Yang Hui is willing to interject at this time, after all, it is related to the fourth-generation fighter project, he is also very interested, if the third-generation fighter of the Republic is still in the catch-up stage, then the fourth-generation fighter of this plane should belong to the time to catch up.

"It seems that it is also time to come up with our fourth-generation fighters, for example, the MiG design bureau of the USSR carried out the MiG 1.42 project, and the United States carried out the A project. The United States is faster, and now the final competition between the two programs has been completed, and the evaluation results have determined that Lockheed's -22 program has finally been established and started development, and they have built a prototype and completed the test flight of the engineering prototype, if calculated according to the speed of the United States' development of the third-generation aircraft, the United States' fifth-generation fighter will be able to complete at the end of this century, which will once again pull a generation gap with us, so"

The voice did not fall, and soon someone added: "So we must start to explore various technologies of the next-generation fighter when the current No. 10 and No. 18 aircraft are still designed for test flight, so I think the development of the fourth-generation fighter must be pre-researched now, and the exploration of aerodynamics must start as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Lu said the key point, and the whole person was excited, he was an old man who designed the Chujiao 6 aircraft from the propeller era, and now he can even participate in the research and development and exploration of the fourth-generation fighter, this life is worth it, and what can the grievances suffered before be counted?

At this time, Yang Hui, as a guy who knows the general trend of the future, how could he not know the importance of this project, so he also put forward some key requirements for the next generation of fighters at the first time.

"The United States put forward the 4S requirements in the fourth-generation fighter project; Supersonic cruise, super-maneuverable, stealth, and over-the-horizon attacks, we must also take into account these requirements, and we must take these aspects into account in terms of aerodynamics, so this new generation of fighters also requires a new breakthrough in aerodynamics. So, what are the units that are willing to participate in this aerodynamic exploration of the fourth-generation aircraft? ”

When asked which units were willing to participate in the aerodynamic exploration of the fourth-generation fighter, all parties were also moved by the wind for a while, and the first to answer was Chief Engineer Yu.

"For the aerodynamic exploration of the fourth-generation fighter, I am willing to lead the aerodynamic design department of the 0111 Institute to start researching this project, we already have experience in the development of twin-engine fighters, and have good technical reserves, so I am a team here."

Yu is quite confident on the side of the chief engineer, and asks to participate in the aerodynamic exploration of the new generation of fighters, which is naturally a good thing, anyway, the chief engineer is no longer responsible for the specific model research work, and there is no other burden, so he can naturally devote himself to this aerodynamic exploration project.

Over there, Chief Engineer Song was a little entangled, but when he saw that Chief Engineer Yu decided to participate in the project, Chief Engineer Song finally made a decision, and he definitely couldn't fall behind.

"We 611 are also willing to participate in this project, although the current 10th is in the intense test flight stage, but our pneumatic group over there has completed its work, even the two-seat combat instructor type pneumatics have been completed, and the test flight work also has a special deputy chief engineer in the follow-up, I can take the pneumatic group of 611 to carry out research in this area, 611 in the previous J-9 project has also had the layout and research of twin-engine fighters, and it can also be regarded as having some experience. Anyway, the wind tunnel group is Fucheng, and it is only a hundred kilometers away from our 611, and if there is a problem on the 10th, I can return to 611 quickly. ”

It's all said and done, what else can I say. Yang Hui could only agree, according to the final situation of the previous face, No. 10 did not have any problems in the test flight, and it was smooth sailing all the way, so that Chief Master Song could participate in the project to see if the famous "Research on the Aerodynamic Layout of a Small Aspect Ratio High Lift Aircraft" could be born in advance, which is also very exciting.

In the end, Chief Lu Division, who was the first to propose to carry out advanced aerodynamic exploration, certainly cannot show weakness at this time, but not showing weakness does not mean that he must fight head-on with two units with strong technology in the field of fighter aircraft, and a roundabout attack is the reason.

"Of course, we Hongdu are also willing to participate in the aerodynamic exploration of the fourth-generation fighter, but we plan to give up the variable swept wing technology and follow the conventional aerodynamic layout, and the conventional aerodynamic layout is older than you are here, so we Hongdu has decided not to participate in the heavy aircraft competition between your 0111 and 611. We are ready to carry out research on a single-engine light fourth-generation aircraft, and we believe that this is also a way. ”

Sure enough, it reproduced the path taken by the previous chief division of the face land, and the fourth-generation fighter that the previous chief master of the face land led Hongdu to research in the 90s was a fourth-generation aircraft with the same positioning as the -16 in the third-generation aircraft, and finally there was the famous "Fourth-generation Light Fighter Research Report".

It can be seen that this time it is just between the interior of AVIC Southwest, and when it comes to the fourth-generation fighter project, it will also be all kinds of wonderful! (To be continued.) )
