The J-10 is a third-generation fighter, and it can be regarded as a third-generation and a half-generation, and the cost of more than 20 million US dollars is not expensive, which is good value for money. The J-20 cost more than 200 million US dollars in the early stage, and even if it is mass-produced, the cost is estimated to be a few hundred million US dollars.

Such an expensive cost, as the second largest economic power, is completely difficult to bear such a high cost, so the number of equipment prepared by the military is only a few dozen, and for a long time in the future, it will be the leading role of Jian-10 and Jian-11, or import a part of the Su-35 from Russia to supplement.

Li Tian made it clear that if Tianfeng Technology Company develops this fourth-generation fighter instead, the cost can be controlled within $60 million, which is full of fatal attraction to Zhang Haiping, no, to the entire military.

Zhang Haiping's eyes lit up at the same time, his mood was also slightly excited, Zhang Haiping tried to take a deep breath, and after calming his mood, Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, great, this is the best news I heard today." ”

Li Tianfeng smiled.

Zhang Haiping was obviously interested, and asked hopefully: "Mr. Li, if you are asked to develop a new type of fighter, what kind of fighter will you develop?" ”

Li Tianfeng has already considered this problem, and he has been thinking about it since he decided to enter the aircraft manufacturing industry and start construction from the south base of the city.

Since it is going to enter the aircraft industry, it will definitely develop an advanced fighter, what kind of fighter is this? In Li Tianfeng's mind, it was formed early, otherwise, Li Tianfeng would not have said so accurately, and the cost would not exceed 60 million US dollars.

Li Tianfeng said: "If the military gives us the task of developing a new type of fighter, we will develop a fighter that is the most advanced in the world today, and the comprehensive performance of the fighter will be higher than that of the F22 fighter in the United States." ”

"We have excellent military turbofan engines, which are off-the-shelf in terms of engines, and this fighter of the future. Using two turbofan 25 engines, the basic vertical take-off and landing function, can carry out vertical take-off and landing on our aircraft carrier, and also has super stealth ability, ultra-high-speed cruise ability, and strong ground resistance. ...... of anti-aircraft strike capabilities"

Li Tianfeng said eloquently, Zhang Haiping listened to it wonderfully, the excitement in his heart could no longer be controlled, his face was slightly flushed, and his face was full of excitement.

Zhang Haiping said excitedly and happily: "Mr. Li, great, if our military really has such an advanced fighter, then we can enter the ranks of the world's air force powers in one fell swoop, after I return to the capital." Be sure to report back to the chiefs in detail. ”

After speaking, Zhang Haiping also specially said: "Mr. Li, you are almost certain about the research and development of such an advanced fighter." ”

Li Tianfeng thought about it, and then said, "Minister Zhang, I am seven or eighty percent sure. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed and stood up. I can't be calm anymore. Seven or eighty percent of the certainty, that is, there is a very large certainty.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li." Great, I believe that soon, our advanced fighters will be able to soar into the blue sky of our motherland! ”

In the office, the two chatted for a long time about this advanced fighter, and Zhang Haiping almost forgot about business.

This time he came to Tianfeng Technology Company, Zhang Haiping did not come to chat with Li Tianfeng. Instead, he learned that the first static testing machine of the "Black Ghost" UAV had entered the final assembly, and Zhang Haiping came to see the drone.

Chatting with Li Tianfeng like this, especially talking about this advanced fighter in the future, Zhang Haiping really almost forgot about business.

After the two chatted for a long time, Zhang Haiping couldn't help but shake his head gently. smiled and said: "Mr. Li, look, I almost forgot to get down to business, let's go and take a look at our drone together." ”

Li Tianfeng got up and said, "Okay, let's go to the assembly workshop." ”

After the completion of the No. 1 assembly workshop, Zhang Haiping came in for the first time, and after entering the workshop, Zhang Haiping was slightly surprised to see such a huge workshop.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, this assembly workshop is really built, it seems that you have a very long-term plan." ”

Tianfeng Technology Company will not only produce and manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles and advanced fighters, but also develop various large aircraft, including the kind of giant large aircraft.

Most of the final assembly of the "Black Ghost" UAV has been completed, except for the on-board equipment and avionics system, most of the things have been assembled and look decent.

Zhang Haiping watched it with great interest for a long time, and Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, it won't be long before our 'black ghost' will fly into the blue sky." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded and said: "The development has progressed to this point, and in a few months, our drone will make its first flight." ”

According to the development plan, after the first static aircraft, it will be the first engineering aircraft, and the engineering aircraft is a complete aircraft, which will be tested for a series of tests and will also be tested for flight verification.

Zhang Haiping arrived at Tianfeng Technology Company in the morning, and in the afternoon, Zhang Haiping left to return to Beijing, and after Li Tianfeng saw Zhang Haiping away, he thought in his heart that if nothing else, it is estimated that the military will issue a new research and development task to Tianfeng Technology Company soon.

A world-class fighter, think about it, Li Tianfeng is full of excitement, if this fighter is successfully developed, Tianfeng Technology Company will reach a new height.

Sure enough, just a few days later, Li Tianfeng received a call from the capital.

Obviously, Zhang Haiping's report, which cost no more than $60 million and surpassed the F22 in terms of performance, caused a great shock at the top level of the military.

This time it was Mr. Ma who called the general assembly, although Mr. Ma's position was lower than that of Mr. Wei, but he was also a big giant in the military, and such a giant actually called Li Tianfeng in person.

After receiving the call, Li Tianfeng's heart was also slightly excited, and Li Tianfeng said loudly: "Mr. Ma, hello!" ”

Mr. Ma said: "Tianfeng, hello, do you know, these days, we are discussing whether to develop another advanced fighter, to be honest, I very much hope that we have an advanced fighter, now I want to ask you personally, how sure you are of successful development." ”

Li Tianfeng knew that this should be regarded as a formal question from the military's top brass, and Li Tianfeng said with a straight expression: "Mr. Ma, if there is support from the military, we have about seven or eighty percent of the success of our research." ”

Mr. Ma said happily: "Okay, you are ready, it is estimated that it will not be long before the new research and development task will be issued." ”

After talking to Mr. Ma on the phone, Li Tianfeng's mind came up with an advanced fighter, which is a twin-engine heavy fighter, a veritable fourth-generation fighter, known as the fourth and a half generations, and its comprehensive performance and technological advancement are above the American F22 fighter.

Li Tianfeng himself was also interested, took out a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and drew it with his bare hands, and after a while, a brand-new fighter plane jumped onto the paper.

Front view, side view, top view, etc., after Li Tianfeng's interest came, he was out of control, and he drew several drawings in one go, all of which were freehand drawings, Li Tianfeng's drawing skills were there, although they were freehand, but the quality of each drawing was good.

Zhou Ding and Lei Yong came in together, and were about to report to Li Tianfeng when they came in, and the "Black Ghost" drone has completed the structural assembly and can enter the static test stage.

After the two knocked on the door and came in, they happened to see these drawings drawn by Li Tianfeng, and the two knew at a glance that this was a twin-engine heavy fighter, and it was a fighter that they had never seen before.

This fighter, not F22, not T50, not our J-20 fighter, from the shape of the aircraft, obviously this is a fourth-generation fighter, the appearance of the aircraft design fully considers the effect of radar stealth and infrared stealth.

Zhou Zhou Ding said curiously: "Boss, what kind of fighter is this, I have never seen it." ”

Lei Yong also said: "Yes, this is obviously a very advanced fighter, but it is definitely a fighter that we have never seen before." ”

Zhou Ding and Lei Yong glanced at each other, and the two seemed to think of something, but they were a little unsure.

The "Black Ghost" UAV is still in the development stage, and the two estimate that they will not start the development of a new aircraft, and it seems that it is still a very good fighter.

Li Tianfeng smiled and gave these sketches to the two of them, Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lei, you all take a look, this will be an advanced fighter that we will develop in the near future." ”

The two took these sketches, and there was an inexplicable surprise in their hearts, it was really a new type of fighter that was about to be developed, and the two of them were inexplicably excited.

Zhou Ding and Lei Yong felt that the successful development of the "Black Ghost" UAV was already a huge success in their lives, and they did not think that they were fortunate to participate in the research and development and manufacturing of an advanced fighter.

Li Tianfeng said: "If nothing else, the military will soon issue us a new research and development task, we will develop for the military an advanced fighter that can comprehensively compete with the F22 fighter, such a fighter, with super stealth performance, super maneuverability......

Li Tianfeng introduced this fighter a little, after all, this fighter has been basically formed in Li Tianfeng's mind, and Li Tianfeng introduced it with clear thinking and prominent points.

For the future development of fighters, Li Tianfeng can be said to know very well, the current F22, J-20, T50 fighters, can be regarded as the fourth generation fighters, in the next few years, there will be fifth-generation fighters, and even sixth-generation fighters.

What Li Tianfeng is preparing to develop belongs to the fourth-generation fighter, or the fourth-generation half-generation fighter, the fighter's stealth performance has been improved, it has excellent supersonic cruise capability, and it has good maneuverability.
