Chapter 551: J-13 Carrier-based Type
They have never given up on the J-13 project.
It is almost impossible to change the high-altitude and high-speed fighter like the J-82 to be able to get on the ship, so Mr. Gu and others are also very sensible and did not make such a suggestion, now, they heard that the Navy is inspecting the Melbourne, although it is an empty shell, it has also been studied all over again, for what? For the sake of the Navy's aircraft carriers, of course.
J-13 project, there is still a chance!
The Air Force will definitely not want it, it has already chosen Song Lao's plan, and after several years of struggle, now the J-10 project has been officially launched, so if you want to continue to develop this project, then the Navy is left.
The Navy also has funds, although there are very few, but after all, there is, just like the J-7 project, this project was originally developed by the Navy and the Air Force, but as a result, because the J-7 is not a two-seat layout in parallel, the Air Force decided not to, as a result, the Navy is left, the Navy relies on its own funds, and still develops the J-7, it is said that the prototype has been built, but it is just conceivable, J-13, you can also take such a path!
J-7? J-7 is not suitable at all, after all, it is the foundation of the second-generation aircraft, J-13 is different, the design of J-13 is designed in accordance with the third-generation aircraft, it also has edge strips, has the performance of large angle of attack, and the size of this aircraft is also appropriate.
Now, Mr. Gu came here, mainly to sell the J-13 to the navy, for Shenyang, not just to tinker on the basis of the J-8, they must also have modern fighters, since the air force does not want it, then hit the navy's channel!
Hearing Mr. Gu's words, the people present didn't care too much, and they specialized in developing a carrier-based aircraft, which was not something they could afford.
However, once Mr. Gu said it, it was endless, and along the way, he had already perfected the design plan again.
"We know that our J-13 has a lot of differences, but we are also looking forward, we must also continue to improve and improve our J-13 fighters, now, we launched the Navy carrier-based J-13 fighters, and the previous J-13 layout, has been very different, it can be said that it is specially designed for carrier-based aircraft, you can see, now the world's carrier-based aircraft, which one is not specially developed?"
Mr. Gu said this, it is really true, whether it is the United Kingdom, France, or the United States, carrier-based aircraft are almost all specially developed, and they are born to be on ships, and it is rare to use land-based fighters to change fighter versions.
Only the Soviets did this, however, now the improvement of carrier-based aircraft of the Soviets, that is still top secret, is not clear from the outside.
"Carrier-based aircraft are very different from land-based fighters, and they can only be developed specifically for the Navy so that they can best meet the needs of the Navy." Mr. Gu said: "For example, our carrier-based J-13, the air intake has changed a lot, from the previous belly air intake, to the arc air intake on both sides of the wing, I came in a hurry this time, without drawings and models, if you find a description, it is very similar to the US Navy's F-18 fighter." ”
In the past, when bidding, the J-13 was a belly air intake layout, which seemed to be a smaller F-16, which was very efficient, but it was not suitable for the use of carrier-based aircraft of the Navy.
Because the front landing gear must pass through the air intake to be connected to the main girder of the fuselage, which is simply impossible, it is connected to the horizontal bulkhead.
As a land-based fighter, there is no problem in doing this, because when landing, it is the main landing gear behind that is stressed, and if the landing gear in front of it lands first, it will definitely be the end of the plane being destroyed and killed.
However, the navy is different, the navy's fighter is to catapult and take off, when ejecting, the catapult's strong thrust is through the front landing gear acting on the fuselage, in this way, the front landing gear must be connected with the girders of the fuselage, otherwise it will not be able to withstand this force.
For this reason alone, the J-10 can be eliminated, after all, this is the biggest enemy of the J-13 carrier-based aircraft, and if Lao Song launches their J-10 carrier-based version, this is the main problem.
They can change it and change the belly to a two-rib air intake, but the J-10 can't change it, and it can't be compromised because of the needs of the navy's carriers.
In this way, from the front, it is very similar to the F-18.
When Mr. Gu said this, it was obvious that some experts were already interested, and Pan Lao also said on the side: "That's right, only in this way can you withstand the thrust of catapult and takeoff." ”
That's the benefit of specialized research.
Hearing Pan Lao's praise, Mr. Gu was very encouraged and continued: "We use large side strip wings to increase the maneuverability of large angles of attack, and at the same time, in the tail, we should also strengthen and increase the blocking hook, and the tail adopts a single vertical tail, as for its engine, we can only use it at this stage, only turbojet-15, we believe that as long as we are determined, we will soon be able to get this kind of aircraft out." ”
Turbofan 6 has been discontinued, the new turbofan project is still far away, at this time, only the turbojet-15 is ready-made, so this kind of engine will be used.
This is also compared with the J-10, after all, both use the same engine, and now they have won the favor of the Navy, maybe they can re-enter the equipment sequence of the Air Force in the future.
It's a pity that there is still no hope for the domestic push, otherwise, if the surveying and mapping imitation F404 engine is launched, it is the most suitable for the current fighter.
After all, it is in the plan, it is a light aircraft, of course, now everything is in the imagination, and the design has not been further started, and the specific indicators can also be changed, but the current gap, only Shenyang can make up for it, this is their last chance for J-13!
"If this project can be developed, a good carrier-based aircraft will be prepared for the navy, which can meet the needs of two thousand years later, Lao Gu, I support you." Song Lao said.
Mr. Song actually expressed his position here, and also supported the project that Mr. Gu said, which made Mr. Gu even happier.
As long as Chengdu does not come to look for trouble, this carrier-based aircraft project, they are in order.
Tu Lao obviously wants to fight for it, after all, it is still possible to improve the Jian-7, but the technical strength of the 132 factory is not enough, and they can only complete one project, and if they strive for the carrier-based type, they don't have the energy, so they can only do it.
Of course, everyone's support will not work, and the key is to look at the support of the Navy and the support of the country.
"Old Ma, you have to support us." Mr. Gu looked at General Ma and said.
