Chapter 1430: International Airshow

On September 27, Moscow time, the 14th Moscow International Air and Space Exhibition was held in Zhukovsky, Moscow, the capital of Russia, with 793 companies from 40 countries participating in the exhibition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Rice, China, island countries, the United Kingdom, France and other big countries are all absent.

The International Airshow is not only an exchange platform to showcase the aerospace technology of various countries, but also an important opportunity to enhance the international image and influence. In particular, the Russian air show has attracted the attention of countries around the world because of its high specifications and great influence.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, 32 special-grade pilots led by Xu Wei, captain of the special flight group of a certain aviation brigade, received the order to set off. Coming out of the hotel, the pilots began to make preparations at the designated airport.

Since it is an air show, there will definitely be air show projects, of course, there will not be too many models that can fly into the sky, and they will generally be the main combat aircraft in service in various countries or the newly developed special models. Xu Wei is twenty-four years old this year, and for a young man, he is still in his golden age, but for a pilot who has been flying for six years, Wang Wei is already a top pilot among Chinese pilots. And he himself has participated in no less than several air shows at home and abroad.

In peacetime, despite the constant friction between the major powers, there is basically no chance of using weapons at the level of fighter jets. On weekdays, Wang Wei and his teammates at most, piloted the fighter plane into the sky to drive away those "uninvited guests" who tried to enter China's airspace.

As for the air show, even more so. Although it looks cool to fly a fighter plane and make all kinds of exciting tricks and tricks in front of the world, it is not a real battle, and in Xu Wei's opinion, it is actually not very interesting.

"Captain Xu, I heard that at this air show, Lao Mi has brought in a few new models, and it is said that the performance has surpassed that of the fifth-generation aircraft, which belongs to the side of the sixth-generation aircraft? Have you heard? In the flight preparation room, Xu Wei's comrade-in-arms and wingman captain Zhang Xiaodong asked with a smile.

"I heard about it, but it is estimated that it is just a smoke bomb, and now the whole world is engaged in sixth-generation aircraft, who really made it? That's a generational gap, are you kidding? Xu Wei shook his head, indicating that this matter was unreliable.

As a top pilot, Xu Wei certainly knows what the generations of fighters represent, that is not to say that the horsepower of the engine is a little bigger, or the stealth technology is a little stronger, it can be called a next-generation fighter. Unless there is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology, it is possible to say that it is the next generation of fighters!

At present, the fighters represented by the "F-18 Super Hornet" of the United States and the "MiG-35" of Russia basically belong to the fourth and a half generations of fighters, which is also the most fighter in service in the two countries. Like Huaxia's J-20, it is basically the same as these two fighters in terms of performance, slightly better, and can barely be regarded as a fifth-generation fighter. At present, the only fighter in the world that can be called a fifth-generation fighter is the F-22 and F-35 of the United States, which are also the most advanced fighters in the world.

The criteria for distinguishing fifth-generation fighters from fourth-generation fighters are not clear, but two important indicators are unmistakable, one is supersonic cruise and the other is stealth. In both cases, only the F-22 and F-35 can do it. As for the sixth-generation fighter, it is basically just a concept now, and there is no clear statement in the world about what kind of standard it should be for the sixth-generation fighter. In such a situation, how can a real sixth-generation fighter appear?

As for what a sixth-generation fighter should look like? Xu Wei actually has his own standards in his heart. Judging from his many years of contact with fighter jets, if you want to meet the standards of sixth-generation fighters, you should have at least three requirements.

One is hypersonic cruise. What is Hypersound? The Cruising Speed of the F-22 in the United States is Mach 1.82, which is also in the supersonic range, but it is only a little faster than the speed of sound, less than twice as fast. Hypersonic speed, on the other hand, requires at least five times the speed of sound, which is considered hyperhypersonic. At present, all countries in the world, including China, are researching hypersonic vehicles, but that thing is an unmanned, hypersonic manned fighter plane, which does not exist at all.

The second criterion, Xu Wei thinks, should be the ability to fight in the air and space. That is, the sixth-generation aircraft should have the ability to fight in outer space in the atmosphere! While this may sound incredible, since it's a model that spans an entire generation, some breakthroughs should be taken for granted.

The third criterion, of course, is higher stealth ability. At present, the stealth fighter represented by the F-22 can absorb radar waves well and achieve the purpose of stealth, but after all, it can still be detected. And for fighters, if they can't be invisible, the consequences are simply fatal. Therefore, the sixth-generation aircraft should have more complete stealth capabilities. Xu Wei believes that not only absorbing radar waves, but also other detection methods, including infrared, visible light, and satellite detection, should have good stealth capabilities.

To meet the above three standards, in Xu Wei's view, it can really be regarded as a sixth-generation aircraft!

During the chat, Xu Wei also talked to Zhang Xiaodong about this, but after finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaodong said to him with a smile: "Team Xu, why do I think you seem to be telling a science fiction story?" You're not talking about a sixth-generation aircraft, but a spaceship. ā€

After listening to Zhang Xiaodong's words, Xu Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "Also, this thing is basically impossible to achieve with the current technical means. But people always have to have an ideal, I think the sixth-generation aircraft should be like this, as for when it will be studied, it's hard to say. ā€

After listening to Xu Wei's words, Zhang Xiaodong said with a smile: "It is estimated that before we retire, we will not have the opportunity to fly such a plane." ā€

When Xu Wei heard Zhang Xiaodong's words, he suddenly said as if he remembered something: "I heard that the Chinese Academy of Sciences seems to have made a new model recently, which is very good, but this thing is now top secret, and I don't know what it looks like." ā€

"New model? What model? It won't be a sixth-generation aircraft. Zhang Xiaodong said half-jokingly.

"I don't know, let's go, it's almost time, let's go to the venue." Xu Wei looked at his watch and said to Zhang Xiaodong.

At 10 a.m., the air show officially began.

With a loud roar, over Moscow, the capital of Russia, a fleet of the latest Su-34 "Platypus Flanker" bombers flew neatly.

This is an aircraft with excellent performance with versatility in striking ground sea targets, as well as high accuracy in capturing targets. In the air, the special pilot controls the Su-34 and does all kinds of aerobatic maneuvers non-stop. Bell-shaped motorization, barrel rolling, 360-degree motorization, cobra ...... It's dazzling to see. At the same time, thousands of guests and reporters in the stands raised their camera equipment to record the grand scene in the air.

The international air show is open to the public, and as long as it is an aircraft type that appears at the air show, participants can take pictures. It is precisely because of this that at such an air show, there will generally be no top secret models of various countries, after all, those are killer features, and the country's heavy weapons cannot be easily shown.

Three months ago, the "Red Star No. 1" project was established, and the military and the Chinese Academy of Sciences worked together to successfully develop the "Red Star No. 1" super strategic bomber in just three months. Originally, with such a short construction period, the "Red Star No. 1" was originally manufactured to participate in the air show. However, the development of the project has exceeded the expectations of everyone, including Huaxia's senior management.

When the final parameters of the "Red Star One" were put on the desks of the decision-makers of the republic, a small meeting that was unknown to outsiders lasted for six hours. The specific content of the meeting is unknown, but after the meeting, the "Red Star One" super strategic bomber, which was scheduled to participate in the air show, disappeared from the list of exhibitors!

The reason for such a decision is naturally not because the performance of the "Red Star No. 1" is too poor to bear this heavy responsibility. On the contrary, the performance of the "Red Star One" is so amazing that everyone who witnesses its real performance is shocked!

Years of endurance in the air, full stealth design, and an amazing load capacity of 190,000 tons with a maximum bomb load, just looking at these parameters, it is enough to be sci-fi! Not to mention, the energy weapons and meteorological weapons (Golden Sword Array and Ten Thousand Thunder Array) that this aircraft has on board are simply unbelievable!

The "Red Star One" super strategic bomber has already exceeded the category of a fighter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an air fortress! Such a big killer weapon can only be hidden deeply, how can it be easily revealed?

Chu Yang couldn't have imagined that he originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off the super engine produced by his company at the international air show and build momentum for the next flying car project, but because the aircraft he built was too advanced, it was hidden by the country. But he has no other way, the country originally bought this engine, it was paid, although it is an internal preferential price, but the state has given a lot of preferential policies to Leshen Group in recent years, and it does not owe Chu Yang favors. Therefore, Chu Yang really can't ask the state to advertise him for free.

Actually, what Chu Yang wants to say is that for him, the "Red Star No. 1" game really doesn't have much technical content, and the country is so precious that it is not necessary. Although this thing is a little higher than the current level of science and technology on the earth, in the eyes of a cultivator like Chu Yang, this thing is actually not a threat, that is, it is just a casual thing.

At the air show site, the display of fighter planes from various countries continued, and various wonderful pictures came from time to time in the air, causing everyone to exclaim. However, Xu Wei and his teammates had no way to see such a scene. They have now boarded their own fighter planes, and with the cooperation of ground crew, they are doing the final inspection before takeoff.

For Xu Wei, who has more than 6,000 hours of flight time, such an inspection is simply too familiar to be cooked, and everything is so natural. He looked at the flight manual again, and in ten minutes, he would be flying the J-20 over the blue sky of Moscow, the capital of Russia, and showing off his amazing skills.

In fact, being able to fly the J-20, Xu Wei was still a little surprised. He thought that this time he would let him fly the J-10B facelift. After the redesign of the engine, the performance of the J-10B has been greatly improved, and it can be regarded as a relatively advanced model. But compared to the J-20, there is still a big gap, after all, there is a difference of half a generation.

J-20 is the most advanced fighter in China, a real weapon of the country, Xu Wei, as a special pilot, of course, also flew this fighter affectionately called "Black Ribbon" by netizens. But he did not expect that the state would let the plane appear at the air show. In general, such state-of-the-art fighters will not participate in the exhibition. Just like the United States, although the F-22 was also brought over this time, it is said that it is also the old model before, not the latest improved model. You must know that although it is only a flight show and does not reveal the specific parameters of the aircraft, some senior flight and weapons experts can still study some things from the process of flying.

"It seems that the previous news may be true. If it weren't for the research on a more advanced fighter, how could the country allow the J-20 to participate in the exhibition? I don't know what kind of plane it is, but it would be nice if I could see it, so I'm really looking forward to it! Xu Wei thought with some emotion.

After putting on the flight helmet and checking the instruments on the plane, everything was normal, and the command voice of the tower came from the headset, although it was a common English, but it would not cause any communication barrier to Xu Wei. For special pilots, knowing English is the most basic skill.

Ignition, nudge the joystick, powerful power came, Xu Wei's field of vision on both sides, the speed of the reference object backwards continued to accelerate!

With a huge roar, Xu Wei gently pulled the joystick, and the J-20 flew up from the runway with a roar, heading straight into the blue sky!

Everything is in order, Xu Wei formed a formation with his comrades, according to the established project, began to complete one aerobatic flight after another, rolling in the air for a while, and vertically upwards for a while, for this fighter, Xu Wei is so familiar that he is as familiar as manipulating his own body!

Another swoop, Xu Wei saw a dense crowd on the ground. Although he couldn't see their expressions clearly, Xu Wei could imagine that they must be cheering and marveling at their skills at the moment. For an aerobatic pilot, he's used to it!

Less than twenty meters from the ground, Xu Wei terminated the dive, pulled up violently, and the nose of the J-20 was raised, quickly rushing towards the blue sky!

The huge overload made Xu Wei's consciousness a little blurry, but he quickly adjusted. For a pilot, adapting to overload is an essential quality!

In a few moments, Xu Wei rose to an altitude of two thousand meters again. For a supersonic fighter, such a rapid climb is just a piece of cake!

However, at this time, Xu Wei suddenly heard a hurried warning from the earphones.

"Warning, warning! Unknown meteorites suddenly appear in the sky, please return urgently, please return urgently! (To be continued.) )
