The Navy and Air Force have launched various debates around the power system of the new aircraft in the imperial capital, and the Air Force insists that if it wants to fight against fighters of the F15 level, it can only design fighters based on the same double big push.

The navy is that the current progress of various jet Taihang engines does not see the hope of service, but the use of double thrust design is better, and the performance of the ready-made turbofan 10A engine is barely usable.

After that, the air force insisted on double pushes for various reasons, but anyway, the battle situation was stalemate for a while, and in the end the navy could only release a big move.

"Why can't the double push fight against the double push fighter? Look at the aviation industry in Europe, people have used the double push early on, and the Tornado is a very good double push fighter, which is also quite good at ground attack and air interception! ”

In order to illustrate that the double medium push can also fight against the double big push, the navy can also try various methods, such as the main fighters of the European aviation industry use the double medium push design, which has become the argument of the navy.

The Air Force is also absolutely not to be outdone, what kind of argument can this hurricane be, obviously these are two fighters with different positioning!

"That's not right, the Tornado is a ground-attacking, interception operation against large Soviet bombers, and it is not suitable for air-to-air combat operations."

The Air Force's justification can be regarded as somewhat reasonable, after all, the Tornado fighter does not focus on air-to-air combat.

However, the use of a double mid-push design for European fighters is not just a Tornado, thanks to the good openness of European aviation projects.

The European Twin Wind fighter under development has also been made public, which is also a strong support from the Navy.

"The nature of the Tornado fighter may not indicate the excellent air superiority performance of the dual-push fighter, but the current Typhoon and Rafale fighters are all dual-thrust fighters. And it is claimed that it is a 3.5 generation fighter, which is superior to a fighter of the F15 class. ”

Now the Navy is speaking with the European twin winds. The Air Force was also completely speechless.

Although the Air Force no longer says that the double push is not good, it is still determined that the double push will not relax. In the end, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission can only act as an intermediary to see if it can effectively make adjustments.

Director Ding also had a headache at this time, when the Air Force required a long voyage, the double push was naturally the best, and the Navy considered the development risk and chose the double push It seems that it is not wrong.

However, when considering the development of new aircraft, the Science and Technology Commission should give more consideration to the degree of localization of fighter planes, because after all, the Science and Technology Commission wants to coordinate the military industrial units throughout the country and feed these units. At the same time, the safety of the entire project must be guaranteed.

So this has the Science and Technology Commission to look at the problem from its own starting point, and what Director Ding wants to say seems to be about to come out.

"I think it's best to use the double mid-thrust design for this project, anyway, this aircraft is going to focus on ground attack, the double mid-thrust design is acceptable, and the Air Force's air-to-air combat mission doesn't have the current No. 10 project?"

Speaking of which, the No. 10 project was brought in, which was obviously to make the new aircraft more focused on ground and sea attacks, and the Navy's plan was undoubtedly supported by the Science and Technology Commission.

At this time, the Air Force could not stand alone, and it could only temporarily retreat first, as the Science and Technology Commission said. If the new machine focuses more on ground attack, the mid-push design is not unacceptable.

Thinking back to the J-7 project that year, the thrust of the two turbofan 9 afterburner engines was nine tons, and it was also developed.

As for the Air Force, it finally withdrew from the J-7 project. It was not because of the lack of thrust of the engines, but that the layout of the cockpit of the aircraft was somewhat unsuitable for the Air Force.

At this time, the Air Force could only take a step back, and it would be good for the Air Force to purchase this aircraft as an attack aircraft in the future. has been watching the Navy use the J-74 to attack the sea and the ground, which makes the Air Force drool.

"Okay. We, on the side of the Air Force, will take a step back, but this aircraft must be aerodynamically adapted to the needs of ground attack. The thrust of the turbofan 10A engine is too small, it would be nice if it could reach the level of the turbofan 9. ”

Having said this, the Air Force has finally taken a step back and is willing to accept the double medium thrust design, as for the lack of thrust of the turbofan 10 engine, this is simple.

The Science and Technology Commission naturally knows everything about the development of such major military equipment as an aero engine, and Director Ding answered the Air Force's concerns with a smile.

"This is a relatively simple matter, we can let the three domestic units that develop military medium-thrust turbofan engines to participate in the engine bidding for the new machine, and re-develop an engine with a thrust of between eight and nine tons."

Hearing that a mid-thrust turbofan is going to be re-developed for the new aircraft, the Air Force is energetic again, and just now it criticized the progress of the Taihang engine for being too slow and immature, and now it wants the whole more immature engine, which is deliberately to disgust our Air Force, isn't it?

Just when the Air Force was about to break out, the Navy immediately made up for Director Ding's unfinished words.

"Yes, on the one hand, we have a turbofan 10A engine to use, as a test flight power for the new aircraft, and even the first batch of small batch production can be used, which is the insurance of the entire project in the power system. On the other hand, as Director Ding said, we need to develop a better medium-thrust engine at the same time, which will make our new machine have abundant power. ”

Knowing that the Navy and the Science and Technology Commission were paying attention to this, the Air Force suppressed the dissatisfaction in its heart, although it was also developing an engine, but it was naturally better to have an engine that had been successfully developed as a backup.

Nodding, the Air Force naturally raised its hands in favor of this kind of double insurance, but for the Science and Technology Commission's proposal to convene three domestic units capable of developing medium-thrust turbofans, this is somewhat inconsistent with the interests of the Air Force.

"There is no need to convene three units, at least there is no need to notify Fengtian, after all, they have been researching and developing the Taihang engine now, and I am afraid that they will not be able to allocate manpower to invest in the development of another mid-push engine."

Just now, everyone was praising Fengtian's scientific research ability, but now they are saying that Fengtian did not have enough technicians back then, although this turned a little fast, but it should be like this.

The Air Force is unwilling to let the Mukden side be distracted by the development of Zhongtui, so that there is just one less competitor.

Yang Hui and Wu Lao naturally didn't know about the fierce opposition from the Air Force, so it became impossible for Fengtian to be distracted by the current mid-push turbofan project.

Thinking about it, this should be the best result, the reason why the previous Fengtian side has not come up with a usable Taihang engine for more than ten years.

Although there are technical reasons, there are too many projects in the hands of the Fengtian side in the previous face, and the dispersion of scientific research forces is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

I hope that this project will not have the participation of Fengtian, and it will be able to truly do hello, I am good, everyone is good, if Fengtian can come up with a mature Taihang engine in this plane earlier, it must be excellent.

The Air Force proposed to exclude Mukden from the mid-push engine project, but the Navy naturally would not object, and the Navy originally had no idea about Mukden.

In this way, the Science and Technology Commission nodded and made a final summary.

"Well, the development of the new push will let Southwest Science and Industry and Hongqi Factory compete, and I will notify the two units later, consult their opinions, and let them come up with a plan."

When the Science and Technology Commission here was about to notify the Southwest Science and Industry, Yang Hui had already returned to the Southwest Science and Industry with the entire team. The entire military engine development team has just completed the turbofan 10A project and successfully completed it.

Then, under Yang Hui's internal information, the entire scientific research team boiled again, and the development of a new generation of military push has begun around this freshly baked core machine. (To be continued.) )
