Chapter 714: Su 27K

That's right, they all come from the aerodynamic shape of the Central Fluid Institute, the nose is slightly sunk, and the back is a smooth and extended side strip, which perfectly connects the cantilever mid-single wing to achieve the wing-body fusion of the entire airframe, and the wedge-shaped air intake is located under the front of the wing-body fusion, the engine and the fuselage are separated, and the rear is twin-engine and double-vertical tail.

However, if you look closely, you can know the difference between the two fighters, for example, the Su-27 is larger, so the whole shape looks more slender, as if the MiG-29 has been stretched, it does not have an auxiliary air intake on the side strip, it looks more concise, but in the tail, in the middle of the two engines, there is an additional tail vertebrae that extends backwards, and each wing surface looks wider and has a better visual impact.

Just when everyone was striding towards the plane, Qin Feng stopped, and General Lin on the side was very curious: "Won't you go over and have a look?" ”

The first to propose to buy the Su-27, there was Qin Feng, when he came back from the secret investigation of the Soviet Union, Qin Feng thought that the MiG-29 was not suitable, similar to the MiG-29 in appearance, but the larger Su-27 was suitable for the needs of the domestic Air Force, and the Air Force also recognized the Su-27 at that time.

However, now that he is in front of Su 27, Qin Feng will not go forward.

"Of course you have to see it, but, from a distance, you can feel that it is different from the Su-27, you see, in front of it, there is a small wing, see? Right at the front of the sidebar. As soon as Qin Feng said this, General Lin also saw it, that's right, this plane is actually a three-wing layout.

Generally speaking, if the aircraft has the main wing and tail at the back, it is the normal aerodynamic layout, and there is a tailless delta wing in the back, and a winglet is added in the front, which is the canard layout, but what about the aircraft in front of it, the back is the normal aerodynamic layout, and the canard wing is added in front, this shape looks more alternative, what kind of aircraft is this?

The canard wing is not big, if you are used to seeing the previous Su-27, you will feel that after adding this canard wing, it seems to be a bit of a snake.

In addition to the canard wings in front, if you look closely, you can still see some other differences, for example, the area of the wing and the tail seems to be larger, of course, only if you see more, you can see clearly.

Now, this kind of plane, what kind of plane?

Then you have to think about what is the use of this canard wing, generally speaking, the addition of canard wings is to create vortex, but now this fighter has edge strips, originally the vortex is enough, and the canard wing is added, then it is not a vortex, it should be a stand-in for its head-up effect? After all, relying on the tail to raise the head, that is a negative operation, only by relying on the canard, is the positive lift, directly can lift the nose up, for an aircraft that can do Cobra maneuvering, is it still necessary to deliberately increase the head-up torque?

Then there's only one possibility! Qin Feng said: "I guess, this kind of plane is not an ordinary Su-27, it is Su-27K!" ”

At this time, General Liu also stopped by their side, and during the whole investigation, General Liu mainly looked and did not talk much, he saw the development of the Soviet aviation industry, saw the gap between his own side, and also saw the great effect that if Soviet fighters were introduced, it would play a huge role in improving the combat effectiveness of his own air force.

Now, when General Liu heard Qin Feng say Su-27K, he was also stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"General Liu, we know that the Soviet Union does not have carrier-based fixed-wing aviation, and those Yak-38s are just chicken ribs, and they are basically not deployed normally on their heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, and only their Tbilisi has the appearance of an aircraft carrier."

At this time, everyone walked towards the front, preparing to take a look at this advanced fighter, and Qin Feng was also stating the various materials he had compiled in the recent period to General Liu.

The Soviet Union is very strange, it is clear that it can build a large aircraft carrier, but there is a group of high-ranking officials who oppose the aircraft carrier, they have always carried the argument of missile omnipotence, thinking that the aircraft carrier has long been backward, so the navy can only take a tortuous road, such as first engaging in a helicopter carrier, and then engaging in the nondescript Kiev-class, moreover, it also has to give the title of a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, in fact, it is afraid that those at the top who are disgusted when they hear about the aircraft carrier will oppose the construction plan.

It is only now that there is a new development, which is the 1143.5, that is, the Tbilisi aircraft carrier, but soon, it will have a familiar name for military fans, called the Kuznetsov, and everyone calls it the pants ship for short.

Even if the aircraft carrier is there, it is still a leaping deck, and they need carrier-based aircraft.

The United States has decades of experience in aircraft carrier operations, and the Navy's aircraft carrier aircraft are specially designed and built, the famous F-14 Tomcat, and now the F/A-18, which advocates multi-purpose, are all specialized carrier-based aircraft, and even the previous F4 Ghost is also a carrier-based aircraft, and the Air Force thinks it is good, so it began to procure.

But the Soviet Union could not do it, the Soviet Union did not have any technical reserves, so the Soviets had to use their existing land-based fighters to change, in the past, they planned to change the MiG-23 into carrier-based aircraft, and later MiG-29 and Su-27.

The plane in front of me should have been modified as a carrier-based aircraft, codenamed Su-27K, in Western magazines, there has been a detailed analysis and reasoning of these, and even a picture of the Su-27K landing on the Tbilisi that is being tested has even been filmed.

That Su-27 is a three-wing plane!

On the aircraft carrier, if you want to take off in a glide jump, you must increase the lift and increase the head-up torque, so the Su-27K has added a small canard wing, which is what it does, and, in addition, in order to get on the ship, other improvements must be made, such as strengthening the structure of the main bearing force and the nose landing gear, improving the double front wheels, and expanding the area of the main wing. And with more advanced fly-by-wire control, and so on.

In order to accommodate the increased weight, it also uses engines with more thrust, and so on, of course, these are all speculations from the outside world, and it depends on whether they are willing to introduce it.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, General Liu's eyes flashed: "This fighter can also be improved into a carrier-based aircraft?" ”

At this moment, General Liu also made up his mind, that's right, to buy this kind of fighter! Because, it can also be improved as a carrier-based aircraft!

General Liu was born in the navy, and at the same time, he is also a staunch supporter of aircraft carriers, but it is a pity that the country's economy does not allow the development of aircraft carrier forces now, and when the country becomes stronger, it must have aircraft carriers!

Then, buying the Su-27 now is equivalent to reserving the technical foundation for future aircraft carriers.
