Chapter 735: Step into the cockpit

The fate with Pugachev is very great, including later, when the domestic air force began to master the control of the Su-27, Pugachev also personally served as an instructor to guide, as for now, it is the second contact between Pugachev and the Chinese Air Force.

It is not yet Pugachev's turn to play, and the current Chinese guests are still visiting the production line of the Su-27, and they are looking forward to it.

The beautiful and fluent appearance of the Su-27 fighter looks so enviable, and the visit to the production line is the content of the first day.

At the end of the tour, in a corner of the factory, everyone saw a strangely shaped airplane.

Most of the Su-27 is of a normal layout, only a few are of a three-wing layout, and the plane in front of you also has an extra canard wing in front.

The role of this canard wing can be explained in many ways, the Su-27 used by the Soviet Navy last time I saw it has canard wings, but as a carrier-based aircraft, the wings of that kind of aircraft can be folded.

What now? The plane I see now does not have wings that can be folded, and the canards that protrude in front of the side wings look so unusual, what is this aircraft?

"Comrade Simonov, this plane, it seems, is a facelift of our Su-27 fighter?" General Lin asked the other party.

"Yes, this aircraft is an improved fighter developed on the basis of the Su-27, and it is precisely because of the existence of this model that we are able to sell the existing fighter to you, we are all good friends, so we have no secrets about our friends." Simonov spoke very openly.

The Su-27 is the most advanced fighter of the Soviet Air Forces, this fighter was exported to China, which also sparked some discussion, and finally agreed to be exported, and the Sukhoi side promised to develop a new fighter with performance beyond the existing fighters, which is one of the factors, on the other hand, that is, the Mikoyan Design Bureau is developing a new fourth-generation aircraft, so this aircraft is exported to China, and it will not be the most advanced.

This aircraft can only be understood by the Chinese, now that they have bought the Su-27, maybe in the future, they can buy this aircraft again?

Qin Feng looked at it seriously, compared with the Su-27, this kind of aircraft has an additional canard wing in front, and there seem to be some differences on the fuselage, but these differences are difficult to see.

"What's the difference between this canard wing and the last time we saw it?" General Lin asked.

"The canard wing you saw last time was mainly used to provide lift, and if the aircraft wants to take off and land on an aircraft carrier, it needs to have more lift, and now the canard wing of this aircraft has been integrated into the aircraft's control system." Simonov briefly introduced.

In the past, it was just a fake canard wing, which was used to provide lift, similar to the canard wing on the J-8 ACT, but now this one is different, it is integrated into the control system!

For the Soviet Union, when the Su-27 began to enter the service stage, the improvement of it began, although the Su-27 has been successfully developed, but it still has a lot of problems, for example, its overall design, has been around the radar constant modification, resulting in limited structural strength of the fuselage, in this aircraft, these problems must be effectively and properly solved, it uses the radar, will be the development model of the MiG-31 radar.

The control of the Su-27 uses an analog fly-by-wire system, and the aircraft in front of it will use a digital fly-by-wire method to really program the control of the aircraft, and at the same time, in addition to this increased canard, it is also planned to turn the tail engine into a vector propulsion engine, so that this aircraft has more outstanding maneuverability, when thinking of this kind of aircraft, even Simonov is looking forward to it.

This aircraft is now named T-10M, but when it comes to real service, the Sukhoi Design Bureau does not intend to call it the Su-27M, but intends to give it a new model, the Su-35!

That's right, when it comes to the Su-35, many military fans will be in high spirits, this Su-35 is a fighter that China continues to import while producing the Su-27 in large quantities, it has advanced fly-by-wire control, radar, engines, etc., however, it is not a three-winged surface, its appearance, looks no different from the Su-27.

This is because it is called Su-35, there are two models, the Su-35 of later generations, and the current Su-35, almost nothing to do with it, the current Su-35 is a masterpiece of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and it is the development model of the Su-27 in their plans, for them, the pursuit of maneuverability, super-maneuverability is endless, what is a Cobra maneuver, it can make more super-maneuverable actions to!

"Can we go up and have a look?" Qin Feng asked.

Of course not, let you take a look at the appearance, explain the potential of the products of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, forget it, if you want to go up and see, it is absolutely impossible.

"Everyone is coming here, the Su-27 here is going to give you a flight show tomorrow, you can see this plane first." Simonov said.

Of course, the cockpit of the T-10M cannot be seen by Chinese guests, but the cockpit of the Su-27, you can see it to your heart's content.

After all, it was the Su-27 that sold you.

Speaking of looking at the cockpit of the Su-27, everyone got excited again, walked through this strange-shaped technical verification aircraft, and then moved forward, and walked to the Su-27, the plane was painted with the sky blue paint commonly used in the Soviet Union, the nose was a white radome, and behind the nose, a ladder had been erected, waiting for the visit of the Chinese Air Force.

Although Qin Feng wanted to be the first to go up, General Lin was obviously more excited than Qin Feng, and ran over with his hands and feet, and was the first to climb up the ladder, which was equivalent to twice the height of the gangway of domestic fighters! Standing on the high gangway, General Lin was not satisfied with standing outside and watching, so, with one step of his legs, he was the first to step into the cockpit of the Su-27.

The first feeling is leniency! Soviet fighter planes have always been relatively crowded, full of all kinds of equipment, sitting in it, very restrained, if you are not skilled, you may touch all kinds of equipment.

But the Su-27 is not, this is the first fighter in the Soviet Union to embody ergonomics, the cockpit of this fighter is very spacious, a change from the crowded feeling of previous fighters, and even, if this fighter becomes the main force of their own side, the height limit for pilots can be more relaxed.

In the past, when qualified pilots were recruited, the initial flight training was the same, but in the later stage, it would be diverted, and those who were tall could only fly transport planes and bombers, and only those who were short could fly fighters.

If it is the current cockpit, it is no problem to relax to 1.75 meters! Well, one meter eight can't top the canopy!
