Chapter 599: The long-awaited phone call

The two "Flying Eagle" prototypes plus the "Shadow Dragon No. 1" were quietly placed in the largest hangar in the airport, and Zheng Wenzhong was shocked by the three planes in front of him as soon as he walked in under the leadership of Xu Ziling.

"Flying Eagle" is okay, just looking at the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the F-22 of the United States, but the low drone on the side is placed there, the flying wing shape is too eye-catching, his eyes paused on the "Flying Eagle" for a while, and he was immediately attracted by it, when he saw it for the first time, he recognized that this was definitely a "stealth unmanned attack aircraft", and looking at a few staff members who were doing maintenance there, he also guessed whether the drone had entered the secret service stage.

Everything before was speculation, but now that he is really looking at it, he can't say what kind of feeling it is like to have the impact of imagination and reality in his heart. Unexpected! He really didn't expect the Red Star Military Factory to come this far.

"Today is indeed my lucky day." After saying to Xu Ziling, Zheng Wenzhong abandoned his identity as the boss and ran to the side of "Shadow Dragon No. 1" with an arrow step.

Flying wing layout, its aerodynamic efficiency is high, the lift-to-drag ratio is large, and the stealth performance is good, but there are also fatal flaws, that is, poor maneuverability and low control efficiency, so this situation is not widely used at present, to say the most famous, that is, the B-2 bomber of the United States, because the bomber is not a fighter, it is completely possible not to deliberately pay attention to maneuverability.

This defect was perfectly solved after the Lion was optimized: the splitting flaps were added to the engine shunt nozzles under the wings. But for Zheng Wenzhong, he doesn't know these things, although he has not done technical work for many years, but in this industry, these things can't be unclear, looking at the state of the drone, he knows that the plane has definitely flown for a lot of time, and it doesn't look like it hasn't solved these problems, he is very curious about how Xu Ziling solved it, but he also knows that such a problem as Lu Dao involves core skills, Xu Ziling will definitely not answer him, so he didn't ask. Just look around the drone, intending to see some clues on the fuselage.

Xu Ziling looked at his action of ignoring the dust on the ground, bending down and kneeling on the ground to look at the belly carefully, but he also admired him a little for being a dignified boss, who could actually make this action.

"Looks like you've solved the limitations of the wing layout." After watching it for a long time, Zheng Wenzhong got out of the plane, patted the dust on his pants, and said to Xu Ziling with a sigh.

He looked at it like this, and he could see this, Xu Ziling was really a little surprised, smiled, and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Zheng Wenzhong pointed to the flap on the rear edge of the flying wing, "The way this flap is designed is unheard of, although I didn't know what principle it is designed according to, but it is definitely used to increase drag, and there is here," he pointed to a tiny slit of metal under the wing, "If I guess correctly, there should be some magical device behind this thing, which is used to change direction, but I can't think of what it will be." ”

I didn't expect him to really be able to see that the name hall came out, which made Xu Ziling very surprised, clapped his palms, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Mr. Zheng doesn't go to engage in techniques, but it's even more a pity to engage in techniques." ”

……

Zheng Wenzhong was stunned by his words, and then immediately laughed again, "So I guessed right?" ”

"That's all right! The split flaps are used to adjust the drag, and the vertical take-off and landing technique is used under the wing, and two small spouts are made, which add up to increase maneuverability and handling. "This thing is not a secret, so Xu Ziling explained it a little.

"Oh!" After listening to the explanation, Zheng Wenxin nodded with satisfaction.

Besides, it involves the core things, and he won't answer if he asks Xu Ziling, of course he won't ask anything more boringly.

"I'm curious, is this aircraft ready to enter service? Is it ready for mass production? He wanted to know such a question too much, and after enduring it for a while, he still asked it.

For such a question, Xu Ziling obviously won't answer, after he finished speaking, he just smiled and didn't say anything, which made Zheng Wenzhong understand that this should involve the upper-level agreement, because from a business point of view, there is really no need for too much secrecy in this issue, since Xu Ziling doesn't say it, the only thing that can be explained is that there is a secret agreement with the above, but this also confirms his previous conjecture: This aircraft may have entered the service stage.

However, he did not give up, because the temptation of this plane was too great for him, and after a pause, he asked Xu Ziling a new question: "Then Mr. Xu, can you introduce me to the approximate parameters of this plane?" For example, range, bomb carrying. ”

Xu Ziling can talk about things that are not detailed, and he did not pretend to be mysterious, so he said to Zheng Wenzhong: "In the state of full ammunition, the range is about 20,000 kilometers, and the pylons can carry forty or fifty conventional small missiles." ”

……

Zheng Wenzhong can understand that the conventional small missiles in Xu Ziling's mouth refer to medium- and short-range air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles, and if they are loaded with long-range missiles or cruise missiles, they will definitely not have this number, but the carrying capacity of medium- and short-range missiles can reach forty or fifty, which is already amazing enough.

Oh my God, he didn't know how to describe it.

"Isn't that a bomber? The B-2 of the United States can only carry sixteen missiles, and one refueling in the air is not as good as its range. It was a long time before Zheng Wenzhong said such a sentence.

It's really that the data Xu Ziling said is too scary, how could he ever hear of a fighter plane that can fly 20,000 kilometers when it is fully loaded with dozens of missiles? It's hard to do even with a passenger plane.

"Its role is to be used for long-range support and strikes, so it pays attention to the range and sacrifices some bomb load." Xu Ziling saw that he compared the B-2 with him, smiled and was noncommittal.

B-2 is a bomber, and Shadow Dragon One is an attack aircraft, the two models are positioned differently, it seems that the number of ammunition carried by the Shadow Dragon is more, but the B-2 carries JDAM bombs, this thing can be compared to the medium and short-range missiles carried by the Shadow Dragon, in contrast, the B-2 can carry sixteen JDAM bombs, which is definitely more than the Shadow Dragon.

……

After discussing the drone, Zheng Wenzhong's curiosity was satisfied, and then he set his sights on the "Flying Eagle".

With a range of more than 4,000 kilometers, mature vertical take-off and landing technology, and perfect stealth performance, he was naturally shocked again, especially when he saw the C-type aircraft, he said with a wry smile that their J-15 will have absolutely no market in the future.

Xu Ziling has his different views on this, although the C-type aircraft is smaller than the A type and the B type in terms of volume, and it is not much different from the J-15, but he needs two people to operate, while the J-15 only needs one person to be enough, in terms of personnel requirements, the J-15 obviously has his advantages, and the requirements of aircraft carrier tactics, the combination of high-end and low-grade fighters is certain.

There is only one aircraft carrier in China today, but it is obviously impossible to equip it with the "Flying Eagle" C-type, not to mention such a big move as a major change of equipment in the Air Force, which can not be completed in one or two years, as long as the military factory does not launch low-grade carrier-based aircraft, the J-15 will definitely have his market.

Xu Ziling has no intention of monopolizing the entire domestic market, what he needs now is to really lay a good foundation and drive foreign arms dealers out of the country, instead of killing each other with his own country's manufacturers.

"Mr. Zheng's words are wrong, the country is limited by funding, high and low matching must be a necessary strategy, even if our 'Flying Eagle' C-type aircraft is the smallest, it is larger than your J-15, and in terms of funding, it is relatively high, so as long as the country's military spending does not increase, the J-15 market will definitely exist, and there is not much difference from the original."

Xu Ziling said to Zheng Wenzhong.

He was right, before China was considering equipping the aircraft carrier with a part of the J-15, and importing a heavy carrier-based aircraft, but now it may consider using the "Flying Eagle", but the scheme of high and low matching will not change, so for Shen Fei, there is no impact at all.

Having said that, Zheng Wenzhong can also figure out the things in the middle, and say incomparable words, it was also after he heard Xu Ziling introduce the performance of the flying eagle, and he was hit hard. The "Flying Eagle" is better than the F-35, which is known as the fifth-generation aircraft in the United States, while the J-15 can only be said to have caught the tail of the fourth-generation aircraft, which is really not too comparable.

If you don't consider the displacement of the aircraft carrier and don't consider the issue of funding, then there is really nothing to do with the J-15, thinking of this, Zheng Wenzhong really doesn't know whether to be sad or happy.

The dignified head of Shen Fei, naturally it is impossible to have too much spare time, this time he came here because of two things together, visited the military factory, and then had a "light meal" in the small cafeteria, and hurried back to Shen Fei in the afternoon.

And Xu Ziling, after seeing Zheng Wenzhong away, just returned to the military factory when he received a long-awaited call: Tang Cheng called.

"Mr. Xu, my customer has agreed to all your requests, but there is also one condition, that is, it must be delivered as quickly as possible." This was the first sentence Tang Cheng said after answering the phone.
