Inventing an airplane is nothing, flying it is the hardest!

You know, the fighter in the sky, often hundreds of kilometers per hour of speed, when docking, the error should be less than one meter, but also a variety of external interference, such as under the influence of the air flow, the cone sleeve is constantly lifting back and forth, in short, the difficulty is quite high.

This is like two motorcycles, galloping on the highway, the riders of these two motorcycles, but also pull their hands together, the slightest carelessness, that is, the car is wrecked.

However, air refueling, this is a problem that must be solved, the motherland wants to move towards a great power aviation, it must need air refueling capabilities, not only the J-7 needs, the J-8 also needs, the newly developed No. 10 project, also needs, this is a must to overcome the difficulty.

If there is a difficulty, of course I will go first, this is Qin Feng's heroic words, and now, Qin Feng has patted his chest.

The leaders present all showed admiration, this is a great warrior, no matter what time it is, he will never back down!

"Let's refuel in the air, it's just an idea now, after all, we don't have a qualified aircraft to act as an air tanker." Minister Zhang opened his mouth and said: "However, since Comrade Qin Feng has promised, we believe that this difficulty of air refueling will definitely be overcome!" ”

There are too many problems in China, and even if you want to refuel in the air, you have to have a big plane.

Britain, the United States and other developed countries, are modified with civil airliners, so that the cost is the lowest, the easiest to operate, anyway, the tanker does not need to enter the war zone, not only air tankers, even some electronic warfare aircraft, are used to change the civil airliner, the most obvious, of course, is the E-3 early warning aircraft, the passenger aircraft is transformed, quite comfortable.

There are also a large number of passenger planes in China, but it is not possible to change them with passenger planes, because when these planes are imported, they are civilian and cannot be converted into military aircraft, only military aircraft.

Originally, there was a chance for the Yunshi developed by himself, but it was a pity.

After Minister Zhang finished speaking, he was also secretly crying out in his heart that it was a pity, and at this moment, Qin Feng spoke again: "If we want to get on the horse, we can use our H-6 bomber to change it, and first solve the problem of whether there is or not." ”

H-6, is among all the military aircraft, the largest, this aircraft is an imitation of the Tu-16 bomber produced by the 172 factory, using the layout of the popular wing root engine of that era, the maximum take-off weight of 75 tons, it can be said that it is quite a suitable product, the internal fuel has more than 30 tons, in short, it is definitely much better than the Yun 8.

It is very simple to change the air tanker, renovate the original bomb bay, add several large fuel tanks, and then arrange the refueling pipeline through the wings, which is enough.

The main thing is to test fly it!

"Yes, this plan is feasible, and we will conduct further research and discussion in the future." Minister Zhang continued: "Now, let's make other requests, everyone, do you have any other requirements for our new J-7 fighter?" ”

"Yes!" At this time, it was the chief of staff of the HNA who spoke: "Can our aircraft be converted into a carrier-based aircraft?" ”

Carrier-based aircraft, these words rumbled in Qin Feng's mind, and he couldn't help but speak: "Are we going to get on the aircraft carrier?" ”

Just before entering the door, he also discussed with Minister Zhang that if the country wants to launch an aircraft carrier, it can't be a light aircraft carrier, it can only carry the kind of cargo like the Sea Harrier, and if it can catapult a large aircraft carrier to take off, so that it has enough combat performance.

At that time, he felt that he was just talking about it, and now, when he heard that it was going to be converted into a carrier-based aircraft, it meant that the aircraft carrier project was about to be launched?

However, after he asked, he denied his own idea, the navy must hope to have, eager to hope, but only a superpower can afford the cost of an aircraft carrier, not to mention the construction, even if it is the cost of operation, its own naval funds are not enough.

Therefore, it is impossible for this aircraft carrier to appear soon, but this does not conflict with the Navy's desire to have carrier-based aircraft, and it can be pre-researched in advance.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked this question." Qin Feng immediately followed.

His questioning is obviously to embarrass the Navy, there is no aircraft carrier, and he is still concerned about carrier-based aircraft, what is the use?

Tu Lao smiled: "Qin Feng, can you introduce to everyone, how can our land-based fighter be improved if it is to be converted into a carrier-based aircraft?" ”

Of course, Tu Lao knows, but now, the carrier-based aircraft proposed by the Navy is a long-term idea, far less sharp than the two problems just now, simply, let Qin Feng introduce it to you first, since he came to the Navy compound, Tu Lao has found that Qin Feng is also quite concerned about the equipment of aircraft carriers.

"Then I'll get an axe." Qin Feng stood up and explained to everyone: "Generally speaking, the navy's fighters are specially developed, such as the United States, F-4 Ghost, F-14 Tomcat, and the current F-18 Hornet, designed from the beginning, it is the blank of carrier-based aircraft, but we do not have such conditions, so we can only improve it from land-based fighters." ”

Of course, Qin Feng is familiar with it, although he is a test pilot of the Air Force, he is very interested in anything that can fly, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy are also included.

"Compared with land-based fighters, the navy's fighters need to have a lot of changes, first of all, the landing gear, to withstand the impact of landing, the main landing gear must be strengthened, and if you want to eject and take off, the front landing gear must also be strengthened." Qin Feng began to explain.

The landing of the navy, every time, almost crashes into it! The land-based plane went up and broke its wings directly.

"At the same time, due to the limitations of the hangar, the wing must be able to fold to save space, because the single vertical tail of our tail is too tall, it is best to change to a double vertical tail to reduce the height, and at the same time, the pelvic fin should also be reduced to avoid rubbing. In the tail, a landing hook is also added. ”

"All of these will bring about an increase in the weight of the structure, and compared with land-based fighters, carrier-based aircraft will even increase the weight of the structure by about one ton." Qin Feng said: "This will inevitably lead to a reduction in performance, and more advanced engines must be used to propel it." From this point of view, we have replaced the F404 and achieved this, after the replacement of the engine, the thrust has been greatly improved, which can reduce the impact of structural weight increase, so the J-7 is more suitable for ships. ”
