Chapter 460: The Last Country Visited

It is impossible for any country to apply it to a new fighter jet at once when it is developing fly-by-wire operations, and it is certainly necessary to conduct pre-research in advance, and Germany's MBB company is their largest aviation company, so naturally it has also conducted research in this regard.

The F-104 fighter is also a typical second-generation aircraft in the West, this kind of aircraft has even received the name of a widow maker because of its high accident rate, but no matter how it is discredited, it is always the first "pilot's fighter" in the jet age.

When Lockheed was in development, the designer Kelly?? Johnson met with the pilots in North Korea and asked them what kind of planes they needed.

The original F-104, focusing on high-altitude and high-speed, and to the later model, it is more prominent multi-mission, this aircraft has good performance, even Italy is transforming it, becoming a transitional model before the Eurofighter enters service, and Germany uses this aircraft to transform the fly-by-wire system, it is a good choice.

"If the fly-by-wire control system of this aircraft is transplanted to our J-8 fighter, what will be the effect?" Mr. Gu asked.

Both types of aircraft are high-altitude and high-speed fighters, and in the later stage, they have improved their fighting ability, so is it okay to transplant them?

Mr. Gu raised this most important question.

"For this, we must first understand the structure of your fighter."

If it's French, they'll definitely be fooled right away, of course, no problem, but if they want our system, the price, we have to make it clear, they dare to brag about anything in order to sell for money.

Not the Germans, they have to understand.

Dassault's fly-by-wire system, which is prepared for the tailless delta wing layout, in short, needless to say, just the servo, the torque required is greater, and the control rate is also different.

Therefore, it is really inappropriate to go to Dassault to buy it, but MBB is different, their improved F104 fighter is very similar to the J-8.

If it was before, the J-8 was still a secret project and could not be disclosed to the outside world, but when it was decided to use American technology to transform the J-8, this technology was no longer considered top secret.

"Our fighter is a double-engine large version based on the J-7, with a normal aerodynamic layout, high-altitude and high-speed mainly, and at the limit, it can fly to about Mach 2.2." Mr. Gu briefly introduced.

Normal pneumatic layout, as long as you say this, it's easy to say.

"If this is the case, our system can be transplanted to your fighter, but because we don't know the flight control rate of your aircraft, if it is simply transplanted, it will definitely not work, and the software of the flight control system must be optimized."

The hardware can be used directly, but what about the software? The software has to be adaptively improved!

"Yes, we make sure the hardware is complete first, and then we make changes to the software." Mr. Gu was very excited, as long as the other party's project could be transplanted to himself, then it would be fine, and then negotiate the price.

When the other party said the approximate price, Mr. Gu was even happier, and it was definitely worth it if it was less than one-tenth of the price offered by the company!

"We can continue to have in-depth exchanges with this project!" The rest of the time, everyone else was an escort, and only a few people brought by Mr. Gu were left, and they had in-depth exchanges with each other, and even began to go deep into every detail.

For Mr. Gu, this project is very important, because it is related to the progress of the J-8 major reform project, as long as the development of this kind of aircraft, the J-8 can become the focus of attention of the Air Force, overwhelm the signs of the No. 10 project, and let out a bad breath!

Thinking about the failures in the bidding in the past few years, they are very depressed, and now, it is necessary to turn the pressure into motivation and do a good job in this project.

In particular, they then mentioned the performance improvement brought by the fly-by-wire system, which is even more expected, for example, in the past, the slender aircraft like the J-8 had a very slow rolling speed, so they changed the flat tail behind to a differential flat tail, but it was only a change in mechanical mode, if it was replaced by fly-by-wire, it would be easier, and the maneuverability of the aircraft could be highly improved, and if the aircraft became statically unstable, it would be better.

"It seems that we have come to the right place in Germany this time." It's already night, the brightly lit metropolis makes people look like they can't go back, the material life here is very rich, and his motherland is still very poor, but Qin Feng believes that the motherland will become such a country in the future.

"Yes, at least it solved a big problem for Lao Gu." General Lin said: "Our investigation is almost over, and before we go back, we are going to another country along the way." ”

"Which country is it?" At this time, Qin Feng couldn't suppress his curiosity, he had already heard General Lin say that when he went back, he would visit a mysterious country, which country is this?

"It's the Soviet Union." General Lin finally spoke: "The next stop on our visit is Moscow. ”

Moscow!

Hearing General Lin's words, Qin Feng could no longer suppress his excitement: "We're going to visit Moscow?" ”

His voice was small, but when he spoke, he still hurried to look left and right, who would have thought that they would go to visit Moscow?

You know, now with the Soviet Union, there is still a confrontational relationship, the domestic J-8 fighter, isn't it just to intercept the bombers of the Soviets in the north?

Now, you're going to visit Moscow? This is definitely a great opportunity!

"That's right, it's Moscow." General Lin said, and now General Lin is also sighing that he finally has the opportunity to embark on the voyage to Moscow again.

General Lin himself had a very close relationship with the Soviet Union, because his mother, a Tsarist Russian, began to participate in the revolutionary war when he was a teenager, and later entered an aviation school, where he was taught to fly airplanes by the Japanese, but his instructor for flying jet planes was Soviet. On the Korean battlefield, he fought side by side with Soviet instructors and established the famous MiG corridor.

In recent decades, General Lin has spent his career pondering how to defend the airspace of his homeland and how to defend against the air forces of the Soviet Union and the United States.

Now, I finally have this opportunity to go to the Soviet Union!

Time has entered 1986, when relations with the Soviet Union, after the rupture of 1960, the two sides became hostile, but the domestic air force is still deeply marked by the Soviet Union, MiG-21 series aircraft, has been developed until now.

There has been little progress on their side, but the USSR has not stopped, and they have made great strides into the sequence of third-generation aircraft!

This time to the USSR, will there be any breakthroughs?
