Chapter 381: J-7CP
However, they have obviously grasped some key points in the country, and the Chinese Air Force must intervene, and everyone will study and equip together, so that it is possible to really move the project forward, which requires talks at the government level.
From this point of view, General Jamal is still wiser, and he also seriously considers this project and tries to let it go forward.
Whether the superior agrees or not, that is the matter of the superior, and the people present have to consider this project, can they follow up?
"As for the engines and supporting electronic equipment, we can talk about them, and at the same time, we also hope that our Kamla aircraft factory will cooperate to produce this aircraft together."
Until now, Pakistan's fighter planes have been completely purchased from outside, and they only have the ability to overhaul them, and now they hope that through this cooperation, they will further enhance their aviation industry capabilities and give them the ability to produce such aircraft, which is a temptation for many countries.
It is clear that the current project has gone beyond the scope of buying and selling aircraft, and is already an international cooperation.
The West provides engines, which is different from providing avionics, engines, that's a big guy.
General Jamal left, the meeting went on for two full hours, and now, after the meeting, he was going to do another thing, which was to meet with the top levels of the government and move the plan forward at the government level.
As for the others, after seeing off General Jamal, the meeting naturally continued.
"How's it going, are there any difficulties?" Manager Sun of China Aviation Technology asked Tu Lao.
Tu Lao's gaze was firm: "What is the difficulty, if there is difficulty, we must also go on, after all, we have seen it, the Pakistani side is also sincere, and the prospect of modification of this aircraft is too impressive." ”
Everyone was tempted, now in China, there is an urgent shortage of modern fighters, if this is changed, it will be able to reach the level of third-generation aircraft.
Our own J-8 2 is the only one with a large nose, but the fuselage is too long and the maneuverability is limited, so it is an interceptor, and if we do this now, we can come out with a real fighter, and the fighting performance is also good, and it can also be used to install a large radar.
Even if there are difficulties, it is worth trying, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a designer who does not want to engage in modern fighters, is it still a qualified designer?
"So, they will provide the engine and equipment, and we will be able to work on the body, can it come out in three years?" Manager Sun continued to ask.
Three years is not a short time, and the improvement of the J-7M has only taken two years.
Tu Lao shook his head: "This is different from last time, this time, we have to make a lot of changes to the fuselage, so to speak, it is similar to pushing down and starting over, we also have to blow the wind tunnel, three years to let the plane go to the sky, it is not simple, after going to the sky, there will be various test flights, I see, it will be good to be delivered in five years." ”
It's already 84 years now, and the most conservative estimates are that such an aircraft will appear in 89, most likely going to the nineties.
Tu Lao is already old, and it can be said that this project will almost be his last project.
"Moreover, this project is in conflict with our new annihilation project, and I don't think our air force will necessarily agree." At this moment, Qin Feng also spoke, after all, Qin Feng is a person from the Air Force, and according to the Air Force's thinking, where is there so much money to support research and development?
The Air Force picks up ready-made ones, just like the J-7M, and now that it has been successfully developed, the Air Force has also begun to procure, but it is estimated that it will be enough for the Air Force to invest funds and follow the research and development together.
"And, according to their assumptions, we're going to have to undergo major surgery." Qin Feng continued to follow the analysis, since the other party proposed this plan, of course he had to participate in the research together.
The current nose can't be equipped with the radar they want, and since they said that they were going to contact, the one who can get their hands on it must be the radar of the same level as the APG-67 in the nose of the F-16.
The caliber of this radar, the air intake in the nose are blocked, it will not work at all, and the nose must be changed.
"Now, if we want to change the head, we can only change it to both sides of the air intake, there is mature experience to learn from, if we change the belly air intake or other air intake, we are afraid to waste more time." Qin Feng continued.
Since the nose is to be changed, it is faced with the problem of how to change it, and the only reference for its own side is the Jian-8.
The layout of the J-8 is based on the J-7, and later, it was successfully changed to the air intake on both sides, and you can completely follow the way of the J-8 to engage in air intake on both sides.
In fact, Qin Feng doesn't like the air intake on both sides, this method cannot meet the high angle of attack flight, and it will block the air intake on one side when turning, resulting in a decrease in flow.
However, if you want to complete this project quickly, the air intake on both sides is the best option.
In the development of the new J-1 project, there are two schemes of air intake on both sides and belly air intake, and finally the belly air intake has been recognized by experts, indicating that the belly air intake is the mainstream of the third-generation aircraft.
However, the research institute of Factory 132 is not capable of carrying out this kind of overhaul, so it can only draw a scoop according to the gourd, which is the most suitable and the fastest.
In international cooperation, time is also very important, and if the time drags on, the project may also be variable.
"That's right, we're just going to get air intake on both sides." Tu Lao said.
Now, everyone is just thinking about changing the nose, of course, they don't know that the changes in this project are quite large, not only the nose, but also the tail Pakistan is not satisfied, this kind of overall disassembly of the tail, it takes a day or two to change the engine, how can it be tolerated by them?
Even if they are Mirage 3, it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble the engine, so the nose, tail, and all parts of the aircraft are changed, and in the end, it is found that it is almost the same as a new development.
"Now let's go back and make the plan as soon as possible, just now, the other party proposed that the next meeting will be held in January, the time is very short, we must be fast." Tu Lao said.
Now it is necessary to start as soon as possible, and when the J-7M project has just ended, it has ushered in this new and challenging project.
"It's time for this project to have a new number." Manager Sun on the side said, "What's it called?" ”
"It's called Jianqi CP, how about it?" Tu Lao thought for a while and replied.
CP is the first letter of the national English word of the two countries, and when these two letters are used together, it means China-Brazil cooperation.
