Northeast of Paris, Le Bourget Airport.

This is a suburb of Paris, only 11 kilometers from Paris, on both sides of the road, there is the French countryside, the green farmland, the towering houses, people look relaxed.

Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget are the three most important airports in the Paris metropolitan area, all of which are operated and managed by the Aéroports de Paris company.

Le Bourget Airport began operations in 1919 as the first civil airport in Paris and was the only civil airport in the greater Paris area until the opening of Orly Airport in 1932.

This airport covers a vast area and has three runways, namely the 03/21 asphalt runway with a length × 60 meters and a length and width of 2,665 meters, the 07/25 concrete runway with a length × 45 meters and the 09/27 asphalt runway with a length × 45 meters respectively.

These runways are of a very high standard and can take off and land all kinds of large aircraft, and since there are three runways, it is quite suitable for an aviation exhibition.

On this day, it is the biennial event at Le Bourget Airport, and from early in the morning, it is already crowded with people from Paris, aviation enthusiasts from Europe, and journalists from all over the world.

There are also countless airlines that exhibit their own aircraft here to attract potential customers, and a large number of orders will be signed during each aviation exhibition, which is somewhat similar to the car show and the housing show.

With continuous development, it has also become a professional place, for example, in a corner of the airport, the Aviation and Space Museum has been built.

In the past, British air shows only showed their own aircraft, and then finally relented and began to allow other aircraft to enter, which became a famous international air show, and the French air show was inclusive of everyone from the beginning.

Qin Feng followed the bustling flow of people, along with the rest of the Air Force delegation, entered the venue together, and when he saw the museum, he couldn't wait to walk in and take a look, the opportunity was rare.

However, today I came to visit the air show, and the air show here is even more attractive.

Just entered the door, I saw a few big guys, that is Airbus A300 wide-body passenger aircraft, this kind of passenger aircraft has a wide body, using twin engines suspended under the wings, the economy is good, since 74 began to put into production, one after another received a lot of orders.

Of course, this kind of plane is not Qin Feng's dish, everyone is from the Air Force, and they are not interested in this kind of passenger aircraft, what everyone wants to see is a fighter jet.

What is that? The group walked to the exhibition stand of the fighter jet, and when they saw the first fighter, Qin Feng couldn't help but get excited, and blurted out: "Wow, Hurricane, Hurricane fighter-bomber!" ”

This can be said to be a Eurofighter, this kind of aircraft adopts the variable swept wing structure that was popular in previous years, and has less air resistance at high speeds and maneuverability at low speeds, and has become the mainstream for a while.

However, later, it was found that the operation of this aircraft was complex and self-important, and it was gradually eliminated, and the aviation technology of the new era has begun to pay attention to the performance of large angles of attack and the use of vortex lift, which is also the result of the development of aerodynamics.

Qin Feng looked at it intently, it is said that Lu Lao has been exerting force on the variable sweep wing, and he doesn't know how Lu Lao's plane is being studied.

"This is a fighter-bomber, let's look at something else." General Lin said.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that although relations with the West have eased, the West still wears colored glasses for the country, and fighter-bombers are offensive roles, and this kind of aircraft will not be exported to China.

It's good, but you can't get it.

If you look at it, it's better not to look at it.

Under the leadership of General Lin, the group continued to walk forward, and soon, they came to the front of another booth.

"Wow, F-16 fighter!" At this moment, Qin Feng shouted again, his two performances attracted the laughter of others, this young man, seeing the advanced fighter jet, was as excited as seeing a girl.

Of course, Qin Feng was excited, in the past, he could only look at the magazine and drool at it, but now, he can finally see the real fighter!

It is completely based on the theory of the fighter mafia, according to the theory of energy maneuvering, as well as the experience of air combat in the Vietnam War, it is necessary to greatly optimize the combat performance within the visual range, so as to give birth to a professional fighter.

How tough is it? It is the first fighter in the United States capable of 9G overload maneuvering, and it is also one of the first fighters in the United States to adopt wire-by-wire flight control and ergonomic cockpit. It has performance characteristics such as high thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing load.

The first thing that catches your eye is, of course, its bubble-shaped cockpit!

Domestic fighters have two windshields in front, and the thick bulkhead seriously restricts the pilot's line of sight, and in this kind of fighter, the entire cockpit canopy is one piece of glass, and there is not a single bulkhead!

At the same time, the seat is raised, and the pilot is like riding on it, this kind of fighter must be enjoyable to fly!

At this time, the sun shines down and the surface of the canopy shines.

Along the cockpit canopy, I saw the side wings on both sides, which are said to be the source of vortex lift, and the oval air intake in the abdomen is even more enjoyable to watch, and flying at a high angle of attack is its strength!

"I really want to fly on one kind of plane one day." Qin Feng couldn't help but say.

From front to back, look at it all over again, in comparison, domestic planes, that's garbage.

General Lin looked at this fighter, and his heart was also up and down, yes, if it could be equipped with this most advanced fighter in the United States, how good it would be!

"Guys, you're here, let's go, I'll take you to the place with the best view, our air show is about to begin."

Just when everyone was drooling at the F-16 fighter jet, a voice came from the side, and when they looked up, they saw Dassault's Boileau, with an interpreter next to him, and when the translator finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation in his hand.

So, everyone followed Boileau and walked towards the rostrum on the side, where the position was relatively high, and even some seats had telescopes set up in front of them, which was definitely the best place to watch the air show.

Boileau walked over with everyone, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately there was no one on the side of the American booth, if the Americans and the Chinese communicated, maybe the Chinese would have taken a fancy to the F-16, in that case, their own side would have wasted their efforts this time, inviting Chinese to visit the air show for free, air tickets, accommodation, meals and other all-inclusive, which is of course for the purpose of selling fighters.

In the bidding for military aircraft of other countries, Dassault has lost several times to the American F-16, and they are very vigilant.
