Chapter 459: Rigorous

Different countries have different attitudes when developing fighters, such as domestic, when they are developed in a highly confidential manner, and as a key project, they are not disclosed to the outside world at all, while in the West, many times, just starting research and development, they exaggerate how powerful they are.

They will constantly brag about the strength of their technology, so that they can sell their fighters more easily.

For example, Dassault is like this, their Mirage 2000 has not yet completed all the test flight projects, so they invited Qin Feng and them to come over for a test flight.

The same is true for European joint fighters, anyway, it is a few countries together, it is impossible to keep it secret, at the same time, after they equip these fighters, they also plan to sell them, after all, only by selling, can they make money, if more countries come to buy their fighters, they can't ask for it, so, since the Chinese side wants to understand, they are naturally spitting stars and flying around, and the performance of this fighter is out of the blue.

The advantages of the belly air intake, the advantages of the high-thrust engine, and the incomparable outstanding performance of the canard layout are all listened to with relish.

Especially Qin Feng, not only listened, but also recorded a lot of them, although there are elements of bragging, he can also report to Song Lao when he goes back, so that he can absorb some of the useful design concepts.

In particular, in their cockpit design, the concept of voice operation has been introduced, and the fighter can be controlled by voice!

Of course, voice control is not omnipotent, not all can be controlled by voice, and it must be primitive, but this is also a cross-era progress for pilots, when performing a large overload maneuver, when the pilot's body is tightly pressed on the seat, the hand has no strength to control the joystick. In this case, it is easy to delay the fighter, and now? It doesn't matter if you can't move your hands, your mouth can always move, right? Just say a few commands, it's better to lock the opponent in the rotation of the big overload, then just one word Fire, you can launch the missile, the thumb in the big overload maneuver, you may not be able to press the launch button.

However, this method has high requirements for the system, and how the computer recognizes the human voice is also a difficult problem, so to speak, a completely new concept.

What the West has, it will have, if it doesn't exist now, it will have in the future! Qin Feng thought secretly in his heart.

Every time I come out, there will be a new harvest, and now, when I come to Europe, I have seen the shrewdness and calculation of the Gauls in France, the enthusiasm and generosity in Italy, and the next stop is Germany.

What are the characteristics of the Germans? They are rigorous, speaking of Germans, the first characteristic that comes to mind is rigorous, is the kind of craftsmanship spirit of excellence, with such an idea, everyone came to Germany.

After the end of World War II, Germany was divided and occupied, and after that, on the territory of Germany, two states, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Democratic Republic of Germany, were formed, one pro-American and the other pro-Soviet.

Berlin, the capital of Germany, is located in the occupied zone of the GDR, but the occupation of a national capital is the sign of real occupation, so Berlin is also divided into two parts, East Berlin and West Berlin.

West Berlin is like an isolated island in the sea, surrounded by the GDR controlled by the Soviets, and at the same time, in history, there has really been a Soviet blockade, at that time, the West relied on air support, flying countless sorties of transport planes, transporting various living and production materials to West Berlin, so that the Soviet ground blockade finally failed.

Speaking of Berlin, the most anticipated thing is naturally the Berlin Wall, which separates East and West Berlin, and I don't know how many people want to jump over this wall and get to West Berlin, and there are many stories that have happened.

However, because of the peculiarity of West Berlin's geographical location, it is impossible for any advanced technology to appear in West Berlin, which is too dangerous, and once the Soviets do something, they may eat West Berlin.

MBB has an office in West Berlin, but of course, real communication cannot be inside West Berlin, although Qin Feng really wants to see the Berlin Wall, he still doesn't have this opportunity.

On the way to Germany, the most anxious is Mr. Gu, for Mr. Gu, this is related to an important project of the 601 Institute, their J-8 modification, need to be controlled by fly, the asking price in France is too high, what about Germany? Can Germany meet its needs?

In the midst of such speculation, the group came to MBB, and MBB also warmly welcomed the Chinese guests.

As for MBB, they haven't had any projects until now, but it's not because they don't have enough technology, but because of the U.S. connections.

Germany is a defeated country, the United States is also relatively strict in the care of Germany, their ground weapons system can continue to develop, such as the Leopard 2 tank, it is simply the strongest in this era, when other countries are still engaged in 105 mm tank guns, they have begun to push the caliber to 120 mm, firepower can be said to be the first in the world, more powerful than the 125 mm tank guns of the Soviets.

However, this is only to resist the tank forces of the Soviets, in terms of air power, the United States will not tolerate Germany becoming a great power, every time they study an aircraft and there is a breakthrough, they will finally stop the project under the pressure of the United States.

Therefore, in the conference room of MBB, when the two sides were discussing, the other party had been introducing their glorious past to the guests, and the fighters of the Second World War were their masterpieces.

In the jet age, there is nothing to be handled.

"How is your research on telex systems progressing?" When talking about the middle, Mr. Gu raised his own questions.

"In terms of fly-by-wire systems, we have also conducted a lot of basic research, for example, we have modified our F104 fighter jets into fly-by-wire systems."

The F-104 fighter is a second-generation supersonic fighter developed by Lockheed in the fifties. This fighter is also the world's first fighter to reach 2 times the speed of sound, and in the 60s it held the world record for climb rate and maximum ceiling for a long time.
