The next day, Lin Qiangsheng and Song Wencong and their group began to visit Israel Aerospace Industries, a unique Israeli military enterprise with a factory on the outskirts of Tel Aviv that manufactures and maintains aircraft such as Junior Fighter jets, and where Lion fighters are assembled.

To be honest, countries like Israel and South Africa, their military industry is often specialized and refined, and the leaders of their countries also know that their countries are small and weak, so they take the route of centralized development, and the best equipment and best designers in their own countries work together, and there are really many high-quality products designed, and there are not a few small and refined countries like this, as well as developed European countries such as Sweden and Austria, as well as Japan and South Korea in Asia.

The Israelis were still more sincere to Lin Qiangsheng and his party, and it didn't take much trouble for them to see the real Lion fighter, a semi-finished product with wings, and the cockpit was still naked. Exposed, some IAI technicians are doing something around it.

This is the first time that Song Wencong and others have had close contact with the actual samples of the third-generation fighter plane, and the international military delegation sent by the Republic of China to visit France and Britain was all visited by the central expert group. Cheng Fei's experts have only seen written materials, from other people's descriptions to understand the world's cutting-edge technology, there is no perceptual understanding, the first time to see the West's advanced fighter so close, close observation still makes them quite shocked!

The chief designer of the Lion fighter, Dennis, met with Lin Qiangsheng and others, this aviation expert in his 50s, with sparse brown hair, he greeted these visitors from afar quite reservedly.

Lin Qiangsheng still treated Dennis with great respect, and said with a smile: "Director Dennis, hello, please introduce us to the Lion Fighter!" ”

Janis nodded proudly. said noncommittally: "Since you have arrived here, you must know what to ask and what not to ask, I will naturally tell you what I can say, and I can't do anything if I can't say it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and nodded, not taking Dennis to heart. After all, they were new to the school. Moreover, he also has his own little abacus, and when the Lion fighter program is canceled by the Israeli government a few years later, he will still want to recruit these designers!

In history, these excellent Israeli aviation designers were finally accepted by the Atlas Aircraft Company of South Africa, and now that Lin Qiangsheng is here, naturally there is nothing to do with South Africans, so he now wants to leave a good impression on Denis and others!

At the beginning. Song Wencong, Yang Wei and others followed the introduction of Dennis to visit, but Jericho soon finished speaking, and also introduced the performance requirements of the fighter and some advanced equipment or something, and soon it was time for Chief Engineer Song and others to move freely, and they carefully observed the semi-finished products of this fighter under the supervision of the accompanying personnel, such a close distance and such a good opportunity, they did not want to miss it!

The Lion fighter has an advanced avionics system installed in the cockpit, and it is also a top priority for the fighter. This aircraft integrates the advanced electronic technology developed in the West for decades, and is the essence of human computer technology for half a century. Aviation technology is also a big test of industrial ability!

Flat color liquid crystal display technology, advanced radar system, fire control system, fly-by-wire system, and hydraulic system, Israel's small territory is not large, financial resources are limited, it is impossible to use a large number of attack aircraft with specific functions, and the Lion fighter was designed as a multi-role fighter from the beginning!

"The Lion uses a lot of off-the-shelf technology in the world," Genesys said. 70% of the components of the fighter are from the United States, so please keep everything you see here a secret, and please value the friendship of Israel! ”

After listening to the translation, Song Wencong and the others nodded, thanked them repeatedly, and Lin Qiangsheng also said, "Please rest assured." President Itzhak has communicated with me beforehand, and we have signed a confidentiality agreement! ”

"Well, I hope so!" Jeris nodded helplessly and said, although he didn't know why his boss invited these Chinese to visit the fighters, and even rejected these outsiders, but he still dedicated himself to introducing the things he could say to the Chinese.

The power system of the Lion fighter is the PW1120 turbojet engine of Pratt & Whitney of the United States, and its technology is derived from the Pratt & Whitney F100 turbofan engine, with a rated thrust of 6137Kg and an afterburner thrust of 9337Kg.

This turbojet is much more advanced than the PW1212 that Pratt & Whitney intends to sell to China, and Pratt & Whitney is suspected of fooling the Chinese on that engine. You must know that PW1212 is a non-afterburner version, which was developed from J57, and after 1212, the PW series developed the F100 engine, and the 1120 was developed from the F100.

It seems that the relationship between 1212 and F100 has been very far away, Pratt & Whitney's early engines, JT3, JT4, JT8, and all the way to TF30, these are all 7-level high-pressure compressors, which are obviously close relatives, constantly enlarged and reduced. But from the F100 onwards it became a 10-stage high-pressure compressor. Moreover, the development of the F100 core aircraft, equipped with aircraft such as F15 and F16, is a classic engine model of Pratt & Whitney, and it is also the backbone of the US military force!

The Lion PW1120 was developed from 1980 onwards, and it retains the F100's core engine, gearbox, fuel pump, oil pipe, and the same digital electronic control system as the F100, with only minor modifications. The PW1120 is 70% similar to the F100, many parts are interchangeable, and Israel has obtained a production license for this turbojet engine, and the Israelis already have the technology to manufacture turbojet engines.

According to Jerrys, full-scale testing of the PW1120 turbojet engine began in June 1982 and flight tests began in August 1984, two months earlier. Therefore, the Lion in front of me has not yet been equipped with an engine, and the entire rear of the fuselage is like a big pipe, empty.

It is worth mentioning that most of the Lion's avionics system, radar and major airborne equipment were developed by Israel itself, and Jeris proudly introduced the outstanding electronic achievements of the Israelis!

Elbert ACE-4 mission computer, Elbert EL/M-2035 multifunctional pulse Doppler radar, Elta/Elistra electronic warning system, LearSiegler/MBT all-digital flight control system, Elbit SMS-86 storage management system.

Israel is very advanced in computer hardware and software technology, Tel Aviv is known as Silicon Creek, and the city is also an ideal entrepreneurial base, attracting many innovative enterprises and talents with new technologies to develop and settle down here.

Based on advanced civilian electronic technology, Israel's military electronic technology developed is also in the forefront of the world, which has added a lot to its own military electronic equipment and provided a lot of support! (To be continued.) )
