Chapter 530: "Carver" Fighter

In order to make the South Africans cooperate more closely with him, Lin Qiangsheng even showed Daniel the design drawings of the Golden Eagle training aircraft and the concept of the Stone Tea Falcon gunship.

South Africa's "Stone Tea Falcon" is somewhat like the product of a combination of Soviet and American styles, because through the fighting South African army obtained a lot of Soviet-made Mi-24 Hind helicopters, which may have been influenced by it, the Stone Tea Falcon gunship is the same as the early Soviet-made helicopters, which is a bit rustic!

Atlas has just launched the project of the helicopter gunship, and it can be said that the exterior styling has not yet been decided, and the composition provided by Lin Qiangsheng is just a good reference.

Daniel was also stunned when he saw the exquisite training aircraft of the Golden Eagle, he didn't expect Lin Qiangsheng to provide such a beautiful design, what was shown in front of the Atlas designers was its appearance beyond the times, and the smooth shape was very American.

The Golden Eagle trainer has a streamlined shape that is not inferior to the F16 fighter, and through Lin Qiangsheng's description of it, the designers can easily imagine that if this trainer is weaponized, it will definitely become a good first-line fighter and can replace their Cheetah fighter.

After Lin Johnson showed him the design of the two aircraft, Daniel hesitated for a moment, and after discussing a few words with Monaviv, he took Lin Qiangsheng and Yang Wanli to the Atlas fighter modification factory, visited the Cheetah fighter, and then went to a secret workshop, where there are more than a dozen engineers and technicians, who are assembling and verifying the semi-finished products of a fighter.

"This is our carver fighter, two, please don't leak any information about our fighter to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be very terrible!" Daniel's tone was extremely serious, he considered that since Lin Qiangsheng wanted to engage in military cooperation with South Africa, he must know that their cooperation could not be easily leaked out. Otherwise, South Africa will be in trouble, and Lin Qiangsheng himself will be in trouble, and this East Asian should know better than himself in this regard, so he simply opened up to him, which is also Lin Qiangsheng's honesty in exchange.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded to Yang Wanli, and Lao Yang had already stared at the half-finished fighter in front of him. He stepped forward with some excitement, observing the fighter plane from front to back, left and right, just looking at it like this was not enough, and he also approached the belly of the plane to observe from below and up.

Yang Wanli turned around and nodded to Lin Qiangsheng, and gave a thumbs up, the South Africans' skills are indeed not bad!

Generally speaking, South Africa's fighter plan was born out of the French Mirage series, and it inevitably brought some shadows of French fighters, large delta wings. The air intakes that cling to the sides of the fuselage, especially the single tail of this fighter have many characteristics of a French fighter, like a high cocked chicken tail!

At first, Lin Qiangsheng also felt that the third-generation fighter of the South Africans might be a little like the LCA brilliance of India's Asan, but after seeing the real thing, Lin Qiangsheng felt that it was actually more like a slimmed French Rafale.

Glancing at the engineering and technical personnel at the scene, he wanted to see if there were any French here, Lin Qiangsheng was now sure that the French had helped South Africa. Participated in the R&D program of the third generation fighter.

The French must have had some kind of purpose, and the cunning France did not want to share the risk of developing Rafale. It is to find a home for its future fighter sales, perhaps to cultivate a French fighter system in South Africa, so that South Africans will be more dependent on French equipment.

Fortunately, maybe Daniel did the secrecy work in advance, and the people present were all engineers and technicians from South Africa, and they looked at Lin Qiangsheng and Yang Wanli strangely and then went their separate ways. There are also no strange people who keep staring at them to observe.

Yang Wanli boarded the cockpit of the fighter with his acquiescence and looked at the avionics system of the fighter.

At present, the United States and Europe and other countries have adopted the three-axis four-redundancy digital fly-by-wire active control system, and this four-redundancy fly-by-wire control technology began to be developed in Western countries in the sixties and seventies. The 80s have matured and applied to their third and fourth generation fighters.

The so-called three axes refer to the longitudinal axis, the roll axis and the yaw axis, and the four redundancy refers to three digital channels and one alternate analog channel.

To put it in layman's terms, 'three axles and four redundancy' is a computer-controlled aircraft, no longer using the old-fashioned mechanical joystick, but using a purely digital fly-by-wire control system. It not only enhances the handling performance of the aircraft, but also reduces the size and weight, which is an important research and development direction of the lightweight fuselage.

The Su-27SK fighter imported from China uses an analog fly-by-wire control system, and the disadvantage of analog fly-by-wire is that the analog signal needs to be digitally proportionalized before it can enter the computer for data processing, which leads to a low degree of automation and intelligence.

Digital telex is not, its outgoing signal is an accurate digital signal, under the effect of the digital microcomputer receiver directly command the transmission device to act accurately, the feedback signal can also be directly processed by the program, with a high degree of automation, easy to achieve the advantages of intelligent control.

Both the J-11 and J-11B use an analog fly-by-wire control system that imitates the Su-27SK. Starting from the J-11BS, the control system adopts the domestic three-axis four-redundancy fly-by-wire control system, which has good flight performance and maneuverability.

The fly-by-wire operating system of the J-20 and J-30 has been improving, and China's advanced fighter jets are moving towards a fully digital fly-by-wire control system fighter!

It should be noted that China's research and development in flight control technology lags far behind the United States and European countries, and the research and development time is very short, but the achievements are great!

We have only been developing a three-axis, four-redundancy digital fly-by-wire/active control system since 1991, and the J-8 IIACT demonstrator with this technology made its first flight on December 29, 1996.

The flight control development of the J-8 IIACT demonstrator marks that China has mastered the key technology of the manufacture of the third-generation fighter and provides the necessary foundation for the research of the integrated control technology of the J-10.

The Americans are very protective of the Chinese, neither avionics nor related equipment is allowed to China to get, and even equipment cannot go to China!

The above is history, but now this advanced technology is in front of Lin Qiangsheng's eyes, through cooperation with South Africa, he can obtain this technology, which is expected to equip China's fighters with this advanced system equipment earlier!

This made Lin Qiangsheng's heart very excited, if he was the only one present now, he would probably have jumped up and sang the national anthem loudly!

In addition, the South African carver fighter jet has also initially used wing-body fusion technology, Lin Qiangsheng saw that this aircraft has traces of that technology, probably Atlas has not fully mastered this high technology.

Wing-body fusion technology is now only available to the Japanese and the Americans, who still blackmail it from the Japanese. The South Africans may have gotten the technology and craft equipment from the Israelis, which shows that the Israelis are also despicable guys who like to make small moves, he likes it!

Lin Qiangsheng wants to obtain these technologies very much, and he secretly made up his mind that he must try to occupy the right to speak in the cooperation with the South Africans, just for the sake of these advanced technologies are also worth it! (To be continued.) )
