Chapter 489: A New Professional Group

Qin Feng was stunned when he heard it, in fact, he had already thought about it, the Americans were actually quite wary of themselves, advanced fighter jets, not sold to themselves at all, the last time I went to Pakistan, the F-16 was in front of me, and the Pakistani compatriots would definitely be happy to let them visit, but Qin Feng couldn't get close in the end, because the Americans were watching there.

Although Israel also has these fighters, its relationship with itself is definitely not as close as that of Pakistan, and it is absolutely impossible for them to use the simulators of these fighters for their own use.

Therefore, you can't get your hands on the F-15 and F-16, but the latter fighter will be easier.

Because, this aircraft was developed by Israel itself.

LAVI is their code name, which translates to Lion fighter, which is also the result of Israel's painful experience.

At that time, the Israeli Air Force relied on the fighter jets provided by France, and it felt that it was alive and well, but after the Six-Day War, France refused to deliver the 50 Mirage 5s that Israel had paid, which made the Israelis know what it was like to be choked by others, and only they could produce and manufacture it, which was the king.

Since then, Israel has been determined to develop its own fighters. They stole the design drawings of the Phantom, and then developed the Cub multirole fighter on the basis of the Mirage 5 and produced 212 units.

Of course, this was only the first time that this aircraft was produced, and after the production of this aircraft, they had an ambitious plan to develop a Lavi fighter on their own.

At this time, Israel already had air superiority fighters, so this aircraft in their plan, mainly as a low-grade aircraft in the high and low mix of air force equipment, its main task is close air support and interdiction, in short, it is a bomb truck, which is used to drop bombs, of course, when needed, it can also intercept air defense.

Now, the development trend of the world's military aircraft has begun to tilt towards the canard layout fighter, the Israeli design of this kind of fighter, also uses the layout of delta wing and canard wing, relaxation of static stability control and other advanced technology, and the use of deep engine burial, wing body fusion and a large number of composite materials and other technologies to improve the performance of the aircraft, according to the plan, after the successful development of this aircraft, will replace the A-4 and F-4 aircraft equipped in their army.

Compared with the secrecy of the development of military aircraft in China, Israel is quite open, and its "lion" development plan was announced in 1979, and the development cost was determined at that time to be about $580 million, and most of the funds were aided by the United States.

Although it is said that they designed it independently, however, relying on their capabilities, it is obviously impossible, and in the development of this aircraft, a large number of American companies participated.

For example, in terms of engines, the PW1120 engine from P&Whitney is used as the power, and the production line is to be introduced, which is also very similar to their F-15 and F-16 engines, which is convenient to reduce the complexity of logistics.

At the same time, many of the wings, fuselage materials, etc., of this kind of aircraft need to be manufactured by the United States, and they are more of a final assembly role.

They are developing rapidly, and by now, the first prototype has begun to be steadily assembled, and they will also have a special simulation cabin for their aircraft test flights.

I can't fly a real fighter, I can only find a feeling from the simulator, and even so, it is quite meaningful, because no one has ever flown a third-generation aircraft, and the flight feeling of this simulator is relatively similar to that of a real third-generation aircraft. "Knock, knock." Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Song Lao shouted, and Qin Feng also looked over and saw a young man coming in outside.

This young man looks like a wise young man with clear eyebrows and bright eyes.

"Xiao Yang, you're here." Song Lao said: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is Qin Feng, the test pilot of our new project, who just came here today, Qin Feng, this is Xiao Yang, who came to our institute last year." ”

Qin Feng stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, feeling that the other party's hand was very powerful, it didn't look like a technician, just like a pilot who often held the operating stick.

He didn't know that this grip was a lifetime, and from then on, the two became brothers in the trenches, until the last J-20, even if Qin Feng couldn't fly, he was still on the runway, there with Comrade Lao Yang, watching his latest fighter take off from the runway!

"Xiao Yang, I have something to do with you, our office, we want to set up a new professional group, are you willing to go?"

I came here last year, I am still a newcomer, if I want to come up step by step in other research institutes, I don't know how long it will take, but now, Xiao Yang has only been here for less than half a year, and he has been promoted by Song Lao and wants to go to a new professional group. "Yes." Xiao Yang is very satisfied: "I think it is quite challenging, and it is also a new major. ”

"That's good, after you go, you can be the deputy team leader and lead everyone forward."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang suddenly froze: "What about the team leader?" ”

"Team leader, I'm going to arrange an old comrade." Song Lao said.

Xiao Yang stayed there for a while and didn't speak, and Qin Feng on the side had already seen it.

"Old Song, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, you have already said that if you want our comrade to lead everyone forward, then arrange an old comrade to be the team leader, what's going on?" Qin Feng said: "Don't look at Comrade Xiao Yang's youth, he is still very motivated, why don't you let him be the leader of the team and lead everyone forward." ”

Song Lao patted his head: "Yes, what you said makes sense, our career needs young blood the most, simply, let our Comrade Xiao Yang be the team leader, you will have to start our new major in the future, this is related to the success or failure of our No. 10 project, by the way, you can also get in touch with Comrade Qin Feng's wife, his wife is in the test flight institute, and she is also engaged in similar projects." ”

Qin Feng was suddenly surprised, they said that it was a new professional group, but they didn't say what it was, and now that he said this, he always felt that it was extremely important.

"Yes, I'll definitely do it." Xiao Yang said: "Let's leave the flight control system to me!" ”

What the? The most important flight control system in Project 10? Qin Feng was also taken aback, just now he was so mixed, there were no old comrades, and the young comrades in front of him who were about the same age as himself would be the team leader?

This time it was Qin Feng's turn to be stunned, he was involved, but it was Song Lao who made the decision in the end.

Song Lao patted Xiao Yang on the shoulder and said, "Then don't go, here in the future, do a good job!" ”
