Chapter 579: J-30's first flight
The F-22 "Raptor" fighter was developed by the American Lockheed? A single-seat twin-engine high-stealth fourth-generation fighter jointly developed by Martin and Boeing. The F-22 was the first fifth-generation fighter in the world to enter service.
However, the F-22's production program was terminated prematurely due to the high cost of manufacturing, the lack of clear air-to-air combat missions due to delays in the planning of Russian and Chinese fourth-generation fighter jets, the export ban of the Raptor, and other plans to use the F-35 and drones.
In April 2009, the U.S. Department of Defense proposed to halt new orders and eventually procure 187 fighter jets with congressional approval. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 resulted in a lack of funding to produce more F-22s. On December 13, 2011, the launch ceremony of the last F-22 was held at Dobbins Air Force Reserve Base.
The J-30 fighter has been successfully developed, and the performance is still so good, the United States has two ways to go, the first is to re-develop a new fighter, comprehensively surpass the J-30 in performance, and comprehensively suppress China's J-30 fighter.
However, this is not easy to say, and the development of a new fighter that surpasses the J-30, even the United States, also feels that Alexander, is basically impossible in a short period of time.
The first way is not to go, and the second way is to restart the production line of F22 fighters, and then continue to produce F22 fighters to maintain an absolute advantage in quantity.
However, the restart of the F22 fighter production line will not be so simple.
Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, more information we have, after the F22 fighter restarts production, the United States will concentrate a lot of manpower and material resources to upgrade the newly produced F22 fighter, improve performance, and try to shrink." and even catch up with our J-30 fighters."
Upgrading existing F22 fighters is the most effective way to see immediate results. This is exactly what the United States has done.
Li Tianfeng said: "Upgrade the F22 fighter and improve its performance? ”
Zhang Haiping said: "That's right, that's exactly the case." Mr. Li, will the other party quickly shorten the distance between us and the J-30 fighter if he does this? ”
This is what Zhang Haiping is most concerned about. It is also a question that the military top brass is most concerned about, and everyone has finally looked forward to it, and we finally have the most advanced fighter in the world, but we don't want to be unhappy for a few days and quickly lose this leading advantage.
Before Li Tianfeng developed the J-30 fighter, he had already made a relatively full study of today's three fourth-generation fighters, so he had a relatively full study of the J-20 fighter and the F22 fighter of the United States. The Russian T50 fighter has a relatively in-depth understanding.
Li Tianfeng's professional level is so high, and this understanding is also very professional. Li Tianfeng said: "Minister Zhang, don't worry! The U.S. side has upgraded the F22 fighters, and the performance improvement is certain, but it is almost impossible to catch up with our J-30 fighters. ”
That is, even if the United States spends a lot of manpower and material resources to vigorously upgrade the F22 fighters. At most, the gap between the J-30 fighter and the J-30 fighter has narrowed slightly, but it is impossible to catch up with the J-30 fighter.
Again. Li Tianfeng hasn't said it yet, your F22 fighter can be upgraded and its performance can be improved, and my J-30 fighter can also be upgraded and its performance can be improved.
At the beginning of the design and development, Li Tianfeng fully considered the next few years. The issue of upgrading and improving the J-30 fighter leaves a lot of space, and if necessary, the J-30 fighter can be upgraded and improved.
The J-30 fighter currently being developed is a prototype of the J-30A. If necessary in the future. It can develop and produce J-30B, J-30C, J-30D and so on.
Hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed and said: "Mr. Li, as soon as you say this, I will take a reassuring pill, and I will report to the leaders later, you don't know, the leaders are concerned about this matter." ”
Li Tianfeng said proudly: "Minister Zhang, you tell the chiefs that as long as I am here and we have Tianfeng Technology Company, the American F22 fighter will not want to surpass our J-30 fighter, and our advantage will always be maintained, and it will not shrink, it will only get bigger and bigger." ”
For the next few decades, the development trend of the aviation industry, new design theories, new process methods, research and application of new materials, etc., Li Tianfeng can be said to know clearly, so Li Tianfeng is very confident.
Li Tianfeng, the existence of the leader, coupled with the increasingly large and powerful Tianfeng Technology Company, Li Tianfeng firmly believes that Tianfeng Technology Company will lead the global aviation industry in the future, and in a few years, Tianfeng Technology Company may be the representative of the highest level of the world's aviation industry.
At present, the world's highest level of aviation industry representatives are Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce and other well-known super aviation industry enterprises, in the future, will be the world of Tianfeng Technology Company, Li Tianfeng has enough confidence.
Seeing Li Tianfeng say this, Zhang Haiping said: "Okay, great! Mr. Li, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to report to Mr. Wei quickly, Mr. Wei is still waiting for my news. ”
Ending the call with Li Tianfeng, the first thing Zhang Haiping did was to report to Mr. Wei, and with Zhang Haiping's report, the military high-level was reassured and reassured.
What about restarting the production line of F22 fighters, it still can't close the gap with our J-30 fighters.
…………
The United States has not only decided to restart the production line of the F-22 fighter, but also the US Secretary of Defense has personally visited China.
On the morning of the US Secretary of Defense's visit to China, the first flight of the J-30 fighter was also about to begin.
Seongnam base.
In the No. 2 workshop, there are several engineers and technicians next to the J-30 fighter, and everyone is inspecting the J-30 fighter before its first flight.
At this moment, there are already a lot of people in the airport of Tianfeng Technology Company. Today, this airfield is the test flight site for the J-30 fighter.
Even though the US Secretary of Defense personally defended against China, Mr. Wei did not stay in the capital to meet with the US Secretary of Defense, and at this time, the US Secretary of Defense should have another high-ranking military officer from the military to receive him.
According to Mr. Wei's itinerary today, he watched the first flight of the J-30 fighter at Tianfeng Technology Company in the morning, and met the US Secretary of Defense again in the afternoon.
Mr. Wei, Li Tianfeng, and Zhang Haiping are several senior military generals as the center, and around you are several senior executives of Tianfeng Technology Company, as well as a large number of technical personnel, including a group of design experts, process experts, and so on of the J-30 fighter.
Standing in everyone's position, looking towards the distant factory, you can see the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly plants, which are side by side and the closest to the test airport.
As you can see, the door of the No. 2 assembly plant slowly opened, the width of more than 100 meters, the height of more than 6 floors of the gate, very huge, the gate opened, under the traction of the tractor, the J-30 fighter slowly out of the No. 2 assembly workshop gate.
"It's out, it's out, everyone!"
"J-30 fighter! J-30 is coming! ”
Seeing that this J-30 fighter was slowly towed over, many people at the test flight site shouted happily, and the senior generals of the military, everyone also looked at this J-30 fighter, and their eyes were shining!
Mr. Wei said: "Tianfeng, this is the second time I have seen the J-30 fighter, this fighter seems to never get tired of looking at it, and the more I look at it, the more I like it." ”
Before Li Tianfeng could speak, an Air Force lieutenant general next to him said: "The J-30 fighter has a completely complete F22 fighter, which is much more beautiful and exquisite than the old American F22 fighter." ”
A military general next to Zhang Haiping also said: "Yes! I really can't understand how the people of Tianfeng Technology came up with such a design, this kind of beauty, people are deeply attracted by it at a glance. ”
The test flight has not yet begun, and Li Tianfeng couldn't help but smile happily just by virtue of the appearance of the J-30 fighter that convinced the military generals who visited the test flight.
Li Tianfeng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the J-30 fighter adopts such a shape design, mainly considering three factors, stealth, maneuverability, and beauty. ”
It is the comprehensive consideration of these three aspects that the J-30 fighter looks first-class, and it attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it appeared, and several senior military generals were full of praise and praise.
Under the traction of the tractor, the J-30 fighter stopped steadily at the end of the runway, and the runway, which is thousands of meters long, seems to have no end in sight.
Just now, the lieutenant general of the Air Force said: "Mr. Li, just looking at the construction of the airport, it is not difficult to see that your preparations are very sufficient, so wide and such a long runway, even the world's largest aircraft can easily take off and land here." ”
At this airport, there are only two runways, but the construction of these two runways can be very domineering, enough for a giant like the Airbus A380 to take off and land easily.
Li Tianfeng said: "The airport is a one-time investment, we will be in place at one time, if we want to develop large aircraft, such as large military transport aircraft in the future, we can carry out test flight experiments here." ”
Mr. Wei next to him said: "Tianfeng, our military is in need of a large military transport aircraft in the true sense, if you can develop such a transport aircraft, our military is very lucky!" ”
Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Wei, I am already thinking about it, when our J-30 fighter is successfully developed and can enter mass production, we will start to develop this large military transport aircraft." ”
Mr. Wei nodded happily.
While everyone was chatting, a refueling truck had already filled the J-30 fighter with fuel, and in the distance, a fighter plane was flying by, looking like it was supposed to land at this airport.
Some people who didn't understand the situation couldn't help but be amazed when they saw this fighter plane, looking at this fighter plane that was getting closer and closer.
This is a J-10S fighter trainer aircraft!
