Old Dassault's body is still strong, and his voice is clear when he explains, just like an old pedant in a university, and when he heard the introduction of the other party who came from the translator, everyone's hearts were deeply touched.

What is the Gap? That's the gap?

The biggest gap is not the design, not the idea, but the material!

For example, the engine, the turbofan-6 that is now being engaged, after more than ten years, is still failing, why?

Its design refers to the Spey engine, and the index is very high, however, the material is not up to standard, resulting in various failures during the test run, and now there is no sign that it can be finalized.

Needless to say, the aero engine is an obstacle, it is just a small brake pad, and there is such a significant gap between itself and the world's advanced level!

Domestic fighters still use the most common alloy brake discs, which is a big gap in this regard!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Dassault Sr." General Lin stretched out his hand to the old Dassault, although General Lin is not young, and the old Mr. Dassault is still decades behind, and he is definitely a junior.

"The eastern sky needs advanced fighters to protect it." Dassault Sr. said: "If you need it, we at Dassault are more than willing to cooperate with you. ”

At that moment, on the side of the tarmac, another fighter roared, apparently preparing for the next round of air shows.

When everyone heard the roar, they couldn't help but look over, and when they saw it, they suddenly felt a burst of incredulity.

What kind of plane is that?

From the outside, it looks the same as the Mirage 2000 next to you, but it is larger and has two engines in the tail!

Qin Feng only glanced at it, and then thought of the model he saw when he went to Dassault headquarters yesterday, and immediately shouted: "Phantom 4000!" ”

Old Dassault smiled and nodded, that's right, it's the Phantom 4000!

The Mirage 4000, Dassault-Breguet's dream of pursuing a heavy air superiority fighter, is also full of the enthusiasm of Marcel Dassault, the founder of Dassault.

The Mirage 2000 is a single-engine light aircraft, and the old Dassault has always had the dream of a heavy fighter, and this dream has been realized on the Mirage 4000 next to it.

Of course, he came here not only to promote General Lin's visitors from the East to promote their Mirage 2000 fighters, but also to watch the Mirage 4000 flight show.

The Mirage 4000 and Mirage 2000 can be said to be twins, using the same engine and weapon system, but the overall length has been increased by 20%, the wingspan has increased by 33%, the wing area has increased by 80%, and the maximum take-off weight has been increased from 17.5 tons to 32 tons.

If you want to truly supreme air combat, it must be a heavy aircraft, according to the fighter mafia's energy maneuver theory, whoever has a large reserve of energy in the fighter will be able to win in the air battle.

And the Mirage 4000 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1 by adopting a twin-engine winter, and in this era, only the F-15 can compete with it.

At the same time, it also adds a pair of fixed front wings on both sides of the air intake instead of the small batten wings of the Mirage 2000, which can effectively improve airflow in high angle of attack conditions and allow the aircraft to gain greater maneuverability.

At the beginning of this year, the first prototype of the Mirage 4000 was built, and I can't wait to come here to participate in the air show!

No Eurofighter has its performance, and it has thrown off Europe's newest Tornado a few streets!

The fighter project in the East is secretive and highly secretive, but France is different.

Because they develop fighters, in addition to their own use, they have to sell, which is even more important for the Mirage 4000.

Because this is completely a project developed by the company with its own funds.

For the sake of his dream of a heavy air superiority fighter, Dassault Sr. and the French government have reached an agreement that the government will fund the development of the Mirage 2000; Dassault-Breguet is responsible for the development of the entire Mirage 4000.

If it can't be sold, it will only be a dead end.

"Let's go ahead and watch from the stage." Boileau said from the side.

Qin Feng looked at the Mirage 2000, at this time its cockpit canopy had been covered with tarpaulin, and it seemed that his desire to see the cockpit of this fighter plane was about to be disappointed.

How advanced a fighter is, you can look at its cockpit, the domestic fighter does not even have a flat display, and the gap with the West is very big, although I have seen it many times in magazines, but Qin Feng has not seen the real cockpit once, it is really a pity.

After reluctantly glancing at this fighter, Qin Feng had only one thought in his heart, if I wanted to be able to fly it, how good it would be!

At this time, Qin Feng didn't know that two years later, he really had the opportunity to experience the flight of the Phantom 2000, and at that time, it was a greater shock to Qin Feng.

By the time we returned to the stands, the Mirage 4000 air show had already begun.

When everyone saw the performance of the Phantom 2000, they were already fascinated, and when they saw the Phantom 4000, it was a little strange at first, why did they fly again?

However, a single take-off of the Mirage 4000 completely conquered them.

Two M53 engines are installed in the tail of the Mirage 4000, and when the afterburner is turned on, the two engines output 19 tons of thrust, and the weight of the fighter is only 16 tons at this time!

Its thrust-to-weight ratio has long exceeded 1, so as soon as it left the runway, the fighter had a large angle of attack, almost vertically climbing upward!

In this day and age, no aircraft can be made!

Everyone was stunned.

Old Dassault watched with relish.

The year 1979 was a monumental year for Dassault Systèmes.

This is the 30th anniversary of Dassault's development of the first fighter jet, the Hurricane, in February 1949, when Dassault's first jet fighter jet was launched.

And this Mirage 4000 is a milestone in the history of Dassault's development, it will become Dassault's proudest fighter and become France's long-sky sword!

The cries of everyone were heard in my ears, including the Chinese guests around me, who were obviously also very envious of this fighter.

However, the elder Dassault couldn't help but sigh.

China is too poor, don't expect to sell them such fighters.

China has just reformed and opened up, and their foreign exchange reserves have never exceeded $1 billion.

The fighter must sell for at least $30 million! Even if China uses all their foreign exchange to buy fighter planes, it will only buy 20 fighters, after all, there is a one-stop service such as maintenance of fighters and spare parts.

This kind of fighter can only be sold to the rich oil powers.

For the Chinese, the Mirage 2000 is enough, this time just let them see it first, and then it is time to officially sell it to them.
