Chapter 690: The Importance of Invisibility
"We have made the best efforts in stealth performance, through the complex calculations carried out by our supercomputer, we have mastered the performance of electromagnetic reflection, and the current shape obtained is the best solution. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" Simonov continued: "The entire fuselage does not have a plane that is directly reflected back, we have also carefully processed the seams, the air intakes of the two engines have also been designed in an S-shape and a special shield, the blades of the compressor inside will not be directly exposed, and at the same time, the distance between the two engines is relatively far, so that in the belly between the two engines, there can be more space to design the bomb bay, which can accommodate at least six R-77 missiles and two R-73 missiles, The built-in weapon is an effective way to reduce radar reflections, and at the same time, the engine with a large distance between them, combined with vector control technology, can complete actions such as steering and rolling even without the tail rudder. ”
Simonov played the slides one by one, relaying his design ideas to the high-level decision-makers present, and Andrei couldn't stop nodding his head.
In terms of appearance, in addition to the layout of the engine, it is very similar to the F-22 in other aspects, which is the shape determined by the Americans after arduous exploration, and now, coincidentally, Sukhoi has also adopted this shape, and in history, it is Sukhoi according to the performance characteristics of the American F-22, combined with its own Su-27 fighter, to create a new generation of fighters, with excellent performance in all aspects.
And now, the T-50 in history, was born more than twenty years earlier!
After Simonov's introduction, the Yakolev Design Bureau presented its own design, which is a fighter scheme that also uses a canard layout, from the designer's point of view, full of confidence in this fighter, but, judging by the audience, this fighter is used to fill the number.
The Yakelev Design Bureau designed a series of excellent combat aircraft during World War II, but when the fighters entered the jet age, the Yakelev Design Bureau fell behind, and the planes that were taken out were almost not put into service, although they tried their best to develop the Yak-36M fighter with vertical take-off and landing, but after this kind of fighter was equipped with the navy, a series of problems arose, so that this fighter was short-lived, and it was soon retired.
For the Yaklev Design Bureau, now what they can get their hands on is the Yak-44 AWACS aircraft, this AWACS project has been highly valued by the superiors, and it is already in the finalized test flight stage, however, this AWACS aircraft is not large after all, and if you want to revive the Yaklev Design Bureau, you must win the contract for the next generation of fighters!
It's a pity that when the plan came out, the chief designer didn't see how interested everyone was, and sure enough, the Yakelev Design Bureau was just a foil this time!
In all fairness, the scheme of the Yakelev Design Bureau was not outdated, the canard layout was based on the results of the Central Fluid Institute, and at the same time, the design also took into account the results of stealth, for example, the vertical tail in the back, which was slanted.
However, the R&D capabilities of the Yakolev Design Bureau are doubtful, after all, they have not even developed a fourth-generation aircraft (international standard third-generation aircraft). The only Yak-36M built is not practical, so the Yakelev Design Bureau is actually a soy sauce character, even if their plan is brilliant, it is difficult to win the bid.
And now, after the presentation of the Yaklev Design Bureau, Andrei began to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of these schemes, as a front-line personnel from the Territorial Defense Forces, Andrei has rich experience and a sophisticated vision.
"The project of the Mikoyan Design Bureau can only be said to be partial stealth, I have not seen the design of the built-in bomb bay, indicating that it is mainly plug-in, which will greatly increase the flight resistance after full load, reduce the maximum speed of the flight, and at the same time, bet the magic weapon of stealth on plasma stealth technology, I personally think the risk is very high." Andrei said: "The Sukhoi Design Bureau's plan takes into account stealth and mobility well, and the shadow of the Su-27 can be seen from the ontology, and the technical difficulty should be relatively small." If we invest money in the development of this project now, will the Sukhoi Design Bureau be able to guarantee that within five years, a prototype will be built? ”
Within five years! Andrey gave a very short time, after all, stealth is still a new concept for the Soviet Union, and the next generation of fighters is not only a breakthrough in stealth, but also all-round, high-thrust turbofan engines, advanced integrated electronic systems, super maneuverability, these, can not be effective in a short period of time.
For example, if the Su-27 is counted from the beginning of the project, it will be carried out from 69, even if it enters the detailed research and development stage from 76, it will take five or six years to make the Su-27 finalized, and the new generation of fighters, it took five years to build a prototype, and after three years of test flights, it entered service in the army in the early nineties, which is already a fairly rapid progress.
Andrei asked, and Simonov replied with considerable confidence: "We can make a military order." ”
At the beginning, because the T-10 project did not achieve the expected purpose, Simonov tried his best to override the entire plan and start over, so that there was a new generation of heavy air superiority fighters, which completely suppressed the American F-15 in terms of performance, and now, hearing Andrei's question, Simonov is full of confidence. l In the competition of the fourth-generation aircraft, the Mikoyan Design Bureau won the contract for the light fighter, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau created a heavy fighter, this game, in fact, even if the Sukhoi Design Bureau won!
And in the next generation of fighters, the Sukhoi Design Bureau will also win! Now, listening to the tone of General Andrei, it is clear that there is a lot of support for the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and at this time, Simonov patted his chest even more and packed the ticket.
Work overtime and be sure to get it done!
At this moment, a voice on the side said: "General Andrei, stealth performance, is it really so important?" ”
Andrei looked at the past, and the speaker was the director of the 30th Central Scientific Research Institute under the USSR Ministry of Defense, who was mainly responsible for formulating the overall performance requirements of the future fighter with the 2nd Scientific Research Institute, that is, the various performance indicators of the new generation of fighters, which were determined by them.
The dean's questioning was suspicious of Andrei's tireless pursuit of stealth performance. (To be continued.) )
