Qin Feng's vacation, there was another accident, and he would not be happy to play with the little tiger head, always thinking about it, of course Qin Feng knew what kind of shock this incident would have on the entire domestic aviation industry, Qin Feng had been looking forward to it.

The peace model project will definitely not be able to continue, after all, this is pure military cooperation, but after all, Super Seven is a civilian international project, can this project survive?

Qin Feng was looking forward to it.

Qin Feng continued to stay in the capital for two days, and after learning that Tu Lao was coming, he immediately rushed to the China Aviation Technology Company, because the super seven project belongs to international cooperation projects, which is considered a foreign trade project, so it belongs to China Aviation Technology to be responsible, Qin Feng and many comrades in this department are also quite familiar.

Tu Lao's face, with the exhaustion of the wind and dust, he had just come back from abroad, got off the plane, and came over directly, now, Tu Lao sat down, and drank a few sips of water, at this time, he was surrounded by all the eyes, super seven project, what happened?

"I've been working with Grumman over and over again." Tu Lao said: "They also believe that our Super Seven cooperation is a non-governmental project, so this project should have the possibility of restoration, even a model of peace, and there is a certain possibility of restoration, after all, we know that the American system is different from ours, and their president has issued a ban, and when the next president comes to the next president, it may be lifted." ”

Yes, this is also a problem of the other party's system, but this president has just come to power, and it will take four years to step down, and if he runs for re-election, it will be another four years, who can wait, wait for eight years, wait for an unknown result?

Therefore, the peace model project is estimated to be enough, but this super seven project, it seems that there is still a great opportunity, especially when Tu Lao is talking now, it is obvious that the other party attaches great importance to it.

As we all know, Grumman also has problems now, their most profitable is the F-14 fighter, the current order for this fighter has been greatly reduced, so Grumman is also very much looking forward to making money in the export market by developing this super seven fighter together with China, or in other words, through this project, to make domestic money, anyway, people will never pay.

"We are now planning to do it in three aspects, first, the technicians in the United States, continue to work, and then depending on the situation, return in batches, in short, we must keep people there, second, we must bring back all the information we have obtained as soon as possible, and finally, the work of Grumman is still ongoing, so we have to continue to communicate with them and get all the research and development materials of this aircraft, after all, we spend money."

After the withdrawal of this project from the Pakistani side, that is, the 132 factory is paying for it, and in the current situation, Grumman has researched the results, of course, to provide it to its own side, which is also a policy principle of Tu Lao, and if you can do it in the future, you can continue to do it, and you can't do it, and get the current results back, we will continue to do it, in short, we must not let the previous investment go to waste.

Tu Lao's age is already old, this project, should be the last project he is in charge, he definitely doesn't want this project to be yellow, no matter how many problems he encounters, he has to move forward step by step, until the final success, from the J-7M project, he has no way back, he must continue to move forward!

Tu Lao is still determined, and his deployment is quite appropriate in terms of cooperation with Grumman.

"yes, we've got to keep going." Manager Liu of AVIC said: "However, we can't completely rely on Grumman, we still have to make preparations!" ”

Prepare with both hands, Tu Lao has always done this, in the past, there was a parallel project research in China, once the project failed, then the domestic project was launched, but now, with the continuous research, the domestic engine, turbojet 13, is absolutely unable to provide enough power, even if it is to increase the thrust, then the engine can only be selected from abroad.

"yes, we're planning a trip to Europe to look at the RB199 engine in the near future." Tu Lao said: "We try to get as much information as possible to study the possibility of assembling our fighters. ”

The best push is F404, if F404 is not good, that is the RB199 engine used in the Tornado fighter-bomber jointly developed by Europe, in fact, when the super seven project just began, Europe has promoted this engine, its thrust is OK, but the internal structure is complex, it is a three-rotor engine, at that time Pakistan and the United States relations were very good, customers to choose the engine, and finally chose this F404.

Now, the F404 is not used, so it has to be selected from Europe.

"If you are going to Europe, then I suggest that you also look at the M88 engine." Qin Feng spoke on the side, he looked at Tu Lao's appearance, he was very distressed, but now, he had nothing to help Tu Lao, so he had been listening silently and being silently anxious, and now, when he heard that he was going to Europe to find an engine, Qin Feng immediately thought of this engine.

RB199 engine, is already a mature and reliable engine, at the same time, this also means that its data is a little outdated, the thrust-to-weight ratio of this engine is close to 8, however, its thrust is only more than 7 tons, so, if it is used on its own fighter, it will face the embarrassment of insufficient thrust, after all, the thrust of F404 is larger than it, and until now, the F404 engine is a super seven plan engine.

In contrast, the M88 engine has not yet been successfully developed, only in the bench test stage, and it is said that this engine has a lot of indescribable origins with the F404 when it was designed, but its indicators are much higher.

The first version of this engine, there is 8.3 tons of thrust, the thrust-to-weight ratio is more than 8, it is said to be close to 9, think about the engine M53 of the French Phantom fighter, with a single rotor, the world is unique, to the current M88, although it is a medium thrust, but the thrust is definitely strong enough, it is said that the life is not good, but the domestic aircraft, which one has a long enough life?

If you're going to use an engine, why not consider this state-of-the-art?

Tu Lao nodded: "Yes, we also have to inspect this engine, but now I think that there is a more important problem, that is, customers, if there are no customers, then our research and development is meaningless, especially in the current situation, we need to have customers to support." ”
