"We have a relatively intact carrier-based F-4 fighter, with this carrier-based fighter as a technical reference, you can learn a lot of carrier-based aircraft-related technologies, and we are not completely without a little experience, our country in the 70s has carried out the pre-research work of the aircraft carrier, and the carrier-based aircraft has also done the corresponding pre-research, so we don't need to look for other companies to participate in the project."

For the Brazilian side's worries, Yang Hui naturally wants to do a good job of psychological work, although the little experience of Southwest Science and Industry can almost be regarded as nothing, but there is not a word called talk is better than nothing, this time should be done, so as to give Brazil a strong confidence.

It just so happened that the president of Embraer also knew that Southwest Science and Industry was quite good in terms of technical ability after years of cooperation with Southwest Science and Industry, and after listening to Yang Hui's true and false words, he chose to believe it very wisely.

"If that's the case, that's for the best. It's better not to invite those military-industrial predators in the West, or to deal less with them, those guys have too dark hearts. ”

It can be seen that Brazil, as a Western capitalist country, still has not suffered a loss, which is the loss of the lack of independent defense industry, especially Brazil, a country that is medium and just on the upper side, it is easier to be eaten to death, so in a way, it is more difficult for a country like Brazil to resist the temptation of independent production of the main combat equipment. Confuse.

As for whether the development of the carrier-based version of the lightning fighter can be completed by relying on those domestic materials.

Yang Hui can say with great certainty that this can be done, but this time-consuming is a bit not optimistic, considering that Brazil's aircraft carrier will start overhauling in 91, and it is now the beginning of 90, and the step-by-step development progress is not good.

For this reason, after the regular actions, there are also some other supporting actions to assist in the development of the project, and this is to talk about Yang Hui's subsequent trip to the Soviet Union

It is precisely this reason that none of the first-line carrier-based fighter manufacturers in the West has the slightest conscience. We can only rely on our own self-reliance, which is what we have summed up from many years of experience in the West. ”

This was followed by another long talk, especially for the development of this carrier-based aircraft, and the Embraer industry here is not stupid. There has always been a demand that R&D be carried out on the Brazilian side.

It depends on the situation, it should be that this person is also proficient, in this kind of project that can effectively improve the technical ability of Embraer, it is a great benefit to dig out the mind to participate more!

"But this kind of national treasure-level technology. It is considered the limit of technical production, and it is necessary to develop the whole process on the Brazilian side, which is definitely not possible. ”

But at the same time, considering that I had to find something to do on the Brazilian side, after thinking about it again, I finally made a decision. stood up and patted his buttocks, picked up the water cup and took a sip, and after doing enough unrelated movements, Yang Hui spoke.

"In Embraer, there are actually a lot of inconveniences in the development of carrier-based aircraft, first of all, it is difficult to arrange the technical personnel of our Southwest Science and Industry. Secondly, the F4 that we did in reverse, it was even more difficult to do this kind of long-distance transoceanic transfer. ”

There must be a lot of excuses, but the first ones are only objective factors, as long as there are people who are interested, these things can be effectively solved. If you really want to dispel Embraer's ideas, you also need to start from the internal causes, and it is the right way for Embraer to dispel all kinds of unrealistic ideas by itself, so Yang Hui has also invested a lot of money.

"Besides, the fourth prototype of the Lightning's roadbed model is about to be produced, and it will arrive in Brazil in half a month, and then you only have fighter jet-related professional and technical personnel on your side. It would be very good to be able to do a good job in the test flight of No. 17004. ”

The prototype of No. 17004 was originally to be flown to the test flight institute in the northwest for national test flight work, but Yang Hui couldn't manage it so much at this time. Pull the plane directly over to Brazil for a test flight, only for these guys to find something to do. In order to make them honestly not to fight the idea of carrier-based aircraft development.

As for the question of who will make up for the transfer of aircraft No. 17004, which was originally to be used for national test flights, this can only speed up the production of aircraft No. 05, anyway, it will not be a month or two before and after, and there will be no problems.

And Yang Hui's good words, coupled with the temptation of the prototype, Embraer can no longer insist on it: "This is also reasonable. In that case, we no longer require the R&D work to be carried out here, but we will ask for additional technical personnel to participate in the project in your company, and future prototypes of carrier-based aircraft must also be produced by us. ”

Increasing technical personnel, this kind of thing is not too much, anyway, even those technicians sent to the Southwest Science and Industry before Brazil are all under the conscious secrecy of the Southwest Science and Industry technicians, and they have not taught them too in-depth things, no matter how many people are sent this time, it is just a repetition of the mistakes of the past.

In this regard, Yang Hui could only say silently in his heart: Come on, it doesn't matter if you come more, we can just charge more training fees, which can be regarded as a considerable amount of foreign exchange income.

"This matter is easy, we welcome Embraer Airlines to send additional technical personnel to Southwest Science and Industry to participate in the carrier-based aircraft project, everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the same trench, these are not problems."

As for saying that the prototype of the carrier-based aircraft was manufactured in Brazil, Yang Hui also agreed to be more cheerful, anyway, the Southwest Science and Industry and even the country did not have the technical ability to test the carrier-based aircraft, and there were no catapults and blocking cables, and the flight test work was empty talk.

"And the prototype manufacturing work of the carrier-based lightning fighter you asked for just now, I don't think it's a problem, as long as Embraer has the ability to manufacture the lightning land-based version at that time, we can naturally also manufacture the prototype of the carrier-based version here."

However, don't look at Yang Hui's face full of agreement at this time, if you really want to talk about it, in fact, this is also the answer given after careful consideration, I feel that the situation is under control, and the carrier-based aircraft is promised to be manufactured in Embraer, but the most important landing gear of this aircraft is really not Brazil's little industrial foundation can be played with, without a big press, it is completely impossible.

It seems that the regional airliner manufactured by Embraer over the years is heavier than the previous one, but the landing gear manufacturing is indeed not related to Embraer, all of them are purchased from foreign professional landing gear manufacturers, and if you let Embraer do it himself, he really can't do it. Coupled with the tail hook of the aircraft, etc., this thing may not even be able to be made by the Republic now, and I am afraid that it will have to go to the Soviet Union to play some special tricks.

Based on these considerations, it was finally found that the key manufacturing technology of the lightning shipborne type was still in the hands of Southwest Science and Industry, and when the time came to manufacture the prototype, it was necessary for Southwest Science and Industry to take out these things from China.

As for the assembly, since Embraer has decided to produce Lightning fighters, the final assembly is a matter of course. At that time, even if you let Southwest Science and Industry assemble in China, Yang Hui is still too lazy to do this kind of work, is it that after the Southwest Science and Industry Assembly is completed, the aircraft will be disassembled into wings, fuselage and other major parts, and then transported to Brazil for test flights in a time-consuming and laborious manner?

It's not an efficient thing, and now it's just going to be delivered directly to Embraer, which is good for everyone. When the time comes, it will be better for Embraer to say it, and even in promoting the establishment of the Lightning carrier-based model in Brazil, as well as the follow-up publicity, there will be some benefits.
