The super seven project has reached the most dangerous juncture, in the past, Pakistan withdrew, Tu Lao is still firm, as long as he persists, there will be hope, but now, the most dangerous situation has appeared.

Grumman will never talk about any feelings, if you have money, you will do it, if you don't have money, you won't do it, and now, there are no customers, what hope can there be? What's more, from the very beginning of this project, there were many Americans who feared that it would impact the export of their own F-16 fighters.

You have to find customers first, in the past, I went to Singapore, and it turned out that they were not sincere at all, and then, who should I go to?

"I wonder if Egypt will have this demand?" Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng went to Egypt, the MiG-21MF and MiG-23MS that year were brought back by Qin Feng who went to the test flight with him, at that time, Qin Feng also formed a good friend with a pilot in Egypt, and later, there were several contacts, Egypt also bought its own J-7 fighters, and now, will they continue to buy their own Super Seven?

"yes, that's a breakthrough for us to consider." Tu Lao said: "We hope to be able to find Egypt as a customer to buy, but the current economic situation in Egypt is not very good. ”

Those who can buy fighters must have a certain economic strength, and Egypt's situation in recent years is not very good, do they have the strength to buy it?

Tu Lao was very anxious.

Everyone calmed down again, yes, the Super Seven Project, there are too many crises facing it now, so many burdens are on Tu Lao's body, Tu Lao has too many shoulders.

Now, we only talked about the problem of the engine, in fact, there are too many problems, and what about avionics, if you want to make this aircraft really an advanced light aircraft, replacing a large number of MiG-21 series aircraft that are about to be retired, you need to have enough advanced avionics, once the United States does not provide it, what to do, go to Europe?

And Marconi company, there will definitely be a difficult negotiation, the introduction of the J-7M project, the negotiation has been going on for more than a year, and now, Marconi company must also hope to be able to sell more avionics, they are interested, these, but also need to Tu Lao back and forth.

Now, a lot of the hair on Tu Lao's forehead has turned white, and he has worked tirelessly for this project.

"The report on the Super Seven project is here for everyone." Tu Lao said: "Let's talk about some good news, up to now, our J-7E project is progressing smoothly, and the factory has begun to assemble the first J-7E fighter, this aircraft, completely got rid of the previous high-altitude and high-speed shadow, in close combat, it can also compete with fighters like F-16." ”

Two-handed preparation, in fact, multi-hand preparation, J-7 Cp, there are two kinds of foreign and own, of course, because of the problem of technical strength, the domestic one is still on the drawings, and the cooperation project with Grumman has developed.

At the same time, China also has its own improvement plan, which is the J-7E!

The most important thing to improve is the nose air intake, and this is also the most difficult, the J-7E has not changed the way the nose air intake, so it does not have the ability to intercept beyond visual range, but in other aspects, it has been greatly improved.

The first recommendation, of course, is its wing, after several years of development, the theory of double delta wing has finally matured, will be based on the J-7E, the use of the newly developed double delta wing, low cost, good effect, improved wingspan, has outstanding hovering ability. Coupled with the leading edge maneuvering flaps, against the F-16, it is absolutely not a problem, which is also the proudest thing for the 132 factory!

Now, although it is said that it is going to be merged with 611, however, the merger is only to better complement each other's advantages and play a win-win role, and the projects they develop are still engaged in separately, J-7E, this advanced fighter specially born for air combat combat, after this improvement, will far exceed the level of the second-generation aircraft and reach the standard of the third-generation aircraft.

This is also the pride of Tu Lao, in the rush, he still did not give up this project, after several years of development, this project is finally coming out, he is very confident, this fighter can also be sold, through foreign arms sales, earn a lot of foreign exchange, and then, support them to continue to develop super seven fighters!

Even if there are no customers, even if there is no Grumman company, even if there is no Western engine, Tu Lao must go on firmly, he must complete this project!

"J-7E is coming out? That's great! Hearing the news from Tu Lao, Qin Feng felt a burst of excitement, he had praised Haikou in front of the commander of the Air Force before, saying that the development of this fighter would be how advanced it would be, and now, based on the existing equipment, constantly tapping the potential is the fastest and easiest way to reduce it.

In particular, it can continue to be sold to Pakistan.

Pakistan finally abandoned the Super Seven project because of the high budget, so what do they have on hand? The high-end only F-16, this kind of fighter is too expensive, it is impossible to change all of them, so, they will definitely continue to buy the J-7 fighter, in addition to the J-7M, they continue to purchase, it must be this new J-7 E, even, I still have the opportunity to fly this fighter, and F-16 to compete with each other, come to a shame before the snow, in the past, when there was a confrontation in the Pakistan Air Force, Qin Feng piloted the J-7M, and was abused by the F-16, that scene is still fresh in my memory.

"Actually, I think that the development of electronic technology is changing with each passing day, even if we don't change the nose of the aircraft, and use our current air intake cone, we can also cram in more advanced radar." Qin Feng spoke again: "We continue to improve the J-7 fighters we have at hand, and we will definitely be able to continue to meet our future needs." ”

The development of electronic technology is very fast, in the past few years, everyone can feel it, digital technology is developing more and more, although the search distance of the airborne radar has not changed much, but, the resolution, etc., have improved very quickly, and will continue to develop in the future, in the air intake cone of the J-7, it can also be stuffed with a pulse Doppler radar that is enough to meet its needs, rather than just a simple radar rangefinder.

"yes, we're looking forward to that too." Tu Lao said: "By the way, I'm going to Europe once, Qin Feng, are you interested?" ”
