Chapter 136: The Head is the Way
"What are your concerns? Our army is a war, and we can't be false at all, and we can say whatever we want. Seeing Qin Feng's appearance, General Zhang also spoke.
It should be said, now it is hidden, so if the army is allowed to go the wrong way, how much loss will it have to pay?
The army is not a place to talk about that kind of bureaucracy, especially combat troops!
General Zhang's words are encouragement and displeasure, why are you a little soldier, why did you start to vomit, where do we look like soldiers?
"Yes." Qin Feng said: "This F-16-79 is a castrated version of the Americans, and the performance of this fighter has been greatly reduced compared with the original F-16. ”
Hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone frowned, they really didn't know this.
F-16 is the most advanced fighter in the United States, but this fighter is really a mystery to everyone, everyone knows that it is the most advanced, but what is the advanced method, it is a vague concept, what fighter mafia theory, what big side wing and so on.
Probably, it can be said, but if it comes to the details, it is not clear.
After all, they have too many things to deal with, and it is impossible for them to care about the development of the aviation industry abroad.
On the contrary, Qin Feng knows very well that over the years, Qin Feng has rummaged through foreign aviation magazines and everything, and every foreign fighter jet can be said to be the truth, as if he has seen it with his own eyes.
Of course, this is thanks to the opening up of the West, many professional magazines, there are a group of professional writers, they are all to the point, Qin Feng remembers very clearly, he read a special report last year, which should be written by a famous Australian aircraft critic, that is, specifically to comment on this F-16-79 fighter.
In 1977, President Carter was so angry that he personally signed an order not to export U.S. fighter jets in service because of the leakage of scientific and technological achievements caused by multiple arms sales. Even American-made fighter jets exported to allies have to be lowered a notch. Since Qin Feng wants to say it, he must say it clearly: "We know that the F16 was delivered to the US Air Force at the end of 1978. It is the most advanced fighter of our time. Therefore, according to President Carter's export ban, this aircraft cannot be exported. ”
The F-16 was not for sale in the first place.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone present looked at each other, if this is the case, then how can the Americans sell it?
"Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Israel, the relationship between Israel and the United States, and everyone should know better that what the United States has, Israel can have. GM saw that its aircraft could not be sold, so it came up with a way to improve the F16 with their J79 turbojet engine. This is the model F-16-79 that is currently being exported to us. ”
When later generations talked about this aircraft, they all said that it was specially developed for China, and General Motors has not burned so much, for a customer, the scale of dozens of aircraft, or even only about 20 aircraft, specifically for the development of a low-grade aircraft?
The United States has sent sales materials to Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Jordan and other countries, hoping to gain something, but unfortunately, everyone knows what is going on, and no one buys it.
At the same time, an aviation expert in Australia also wrote an analysis, pointing out how chicken this aircraft is, all kinds of problems, people are at a professional level, and Qin Feng is very addicted to watching it.
At the same time, this is also their anger, if they can treat everyone equally, why did they sell it to Israel?
It is precisely because of reading this article that Qin Feng has a deeper understanding of this kind of fighter, if you want to buy the F-16, you must either buy the original version or not buy it, in short, you must not buy something like J79.
"This information, we have already seen it, yes, it is a replacement engine, of course, the reason is not that it will be reduced, but that the performance of the F100 engine is unstable." General Lin on the side said.
Why change the engine? Not because the F100 engine is too advanced to be exported, but because there is a problem with the reliability of this engine!
Now everyone knows that the US Air Force is facing the embarrassment of this engine being unreliable, and it seems that the technical indicators of this engine are very high, but after equipping the troops, a large number of problems have been exposed, and the Air Force is very repulsive.
The export version, so it was replaced with a more reliable version, which is the J79 engine.
"It's just their rhetoric, and if it's not reliable, why don't they buy it themselves?" Qin Feng said: "The J79 engine is an authentic second-generation turbojet engine, while the F100 engine is an advanced turbofan engine, which will lead to a great decline in the performance of the F-16 fighter!" ”
The J79 engine is also well-known in the United States, the queen engine of their F-4 Phantom fighter, this engine is stable enough, but it is installed on the F-16, so there are many disadvantages.
"As for fuel consumption or something, let's not talk about it, let's talk about the most important power first, the F100 engine, turn on the afterburner, you can get more than 10 tons of thrust, and what about the current J79? By the way, it's on this bid, does it say that the maximum thrust is 9.4 tons? ”
As soon as Qin Feng asked this, even General Lin was very curious, Qin Feng obviously didn't open it to look at it, but he even knew about it?
"That's right, it's 9.4 tons."
"This maximum afterburner thrust has strict restrictions on height and time, and it cannot be used casually at all, and the afterburner thrust that can be used under normal circumstances is only 8.5 tons, which is equivalent to a 20% reduction in thrust."
That Australian expert has long been dissected clearly, and if he wants to fool people, there is no way!
Hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone's faces sank, is there such a thing?
"If it's just a thrust drop, it's acceptable, along with the thrust drop, there is a significant increase in self-weight, after all, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the J79 engine is only about 5, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the F100 engine has reached about 8, specifically, the J79 engine, there are 1.7 tons, and the F100 engine, less than 1.3 tons, which is half a ton short."
"Of course, this is not the most excessive, we can compare, the diameter of the J79 engine is 992 mm, and the diameter of the F100 engine is 1181 mm, one thick, one thin, do you know what this means?" Qin Feng continued: "This means that if you plug it directly, there is a space inside, and you must pad a partition in the middle!" ”
