Good planes are beautiful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not to mention anything else, the Soviet MiG-29, Su-27, look so beautiful, refreshing, and this beauty, also represents the excellent aerodynamic layout, the Soviet Union in the avionics technology is not good, the engine can not catch up with the United States, just work aerodynamics, to meet the requirements of suppressing the F-15.

And now, the air force personnel of other countries also have eyes, and they can see at a glance that the plan proposed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau is absolutely backward!

This is, of course, backward, after all, this is the scheme designed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau in the sixties, if it had been taken out at that time, it should have been advanced, but, looking at it now, it is backward!

Not only Egyptian technicians, but even Cheng Fei also has such feelings.

In fact, just last year, when the Pakistan Air Force visited Cheng Fei's J-7, Cheng Fei proposed to adopt the same two sides of the air intake channels and the leading edge of the wing roots as the J-82 fighter on the basis of the J-7 fighter, and add leading edge flaps and replace the engine. In fact, it is a plan to reduce the single-engine version of the J-8 of the No. 1, but the Pakistan Air Force is not interested, believing that the combat effectiveness of this fighter is not good, and in the end it will not be done.

Now, the development of fighters has reached a new layout, such as the now popular wing-body fusion, side strips, pre-compressed air intake, medium sweep ****** and turbofan engines and other advanced technologies, which are the main solutions of the new generation of fighters. And now, the proposal proposed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau is really not interesting.

As a major investor, Egypt must recognize the project in order to proceed. But now, the Egyptian side really cannot agree with this plan of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

"This is the most secure plan for improving the MiG-21 fighter at the moment." Alexander explained: "We have done pre-research on such a scheme in the Mikoyan Design Bureau, so it can fly with very little money, and at the same time, after installing our advanced radar, it can also be equipped with medium-range missiles and has the ability to attack beyond visual range." If you don't think this is the case, we will start from scratch, and the cost will rise significantly. ”

Mubarak shook his head: "Although we value the cost of the fighter very much, however, the performance of the fighter is also an important factor, we need a fighter that can achieve the performance of the third generation aircraft, over-the-horizon attack and close-range combat, are competent, although we are also equipped with J-7, we know that this fighter is small and flexible, and the ability to fight in close combat is not bad, but this improved version of the fighter still makes us completely satisfied." ”

"Then what kind of fighter do you need to be satisfied?" Andrei asked.

"It would be nice if the aerodynamic shape was more beautiful, for example, changing the airfoil, adding side strip wings, and fusing with the wing body of the fuselage, such a fighter is tenacious." Mubarak said that as a president of the Air Force, Mubarak also has a thorough study of modern fighters, and then he paused and continued: "For example, like the American-made F-16 fighter jets." ”

f-16！ In Mubarak's heart, of course, he likes the F-16 the most, otherwise, Egypt will not become the fourth largest user of the F-16 in later generations! And now, Egypt has not received such advanced fighters from the United States, but, in their hearts, they still hope to have such a fighter.

Especially, now that Egypt is investing, it is necessary to make a decent one!

Hearing Mubarak's words, Alexander was also speechless for a while, big brother, do you think this is pinching plasticine, how you want to pinch it? Looking at the small body of the J-7, it can't be modified into a fighter similar to the F-16 anyway! Unless it's a redesign! And if you redesign it, it's not that simple! Just blowing a wind tunnel requires a lot of time and money! Even if you find an F-16 for mapping and then copy it backwards, it will take enough money!

"General Andrey, you should know that we in Egypt have harsh requirements for air force equipment, in particular, the situation we are facing now is also very complicated, we need a real third-generation aircraft to defend our airspace, and since we have participated in the development and intend to introduce it into domestic production, it is naturally used as the main air supremacy fighter, this simple improved scheme on the J-7 fighter is afraid that it will not be able to meet our needs and cannot be used as our main air supremacy fighter within 20 years." Mubarak's words made it clear that the performance of this fighter is insufficient, and if it does not undergo a major facelift, I am afraid it will not be able to meet the needs of Egypt.

If it does not meet the needs of Egypt, then this project will be completely ruined, although Cheng Fei tries his best to improve the Jian-7, but Cheng Fei has no funds, and must find a financier to provide funds!

"Alexander, can we continue to exploit the potential of the MiG-21 and make significant improvements?" Andrei turned his head and said to Alexander: "President Mubarak's demands are not low, and it seems that we need to work harder." ”

Alexander said: "It is not impossible to transform the MiG-21 to be similar to the F-16, adding wing-body fusion, side wings, changing the airfoil, these programs can greatly improve the maneuverability of the fighter, but if this is changed, the development cost will go up, and the original development cost of 100 million rubles is definitely not enough." A lot of research can't be done in Chengfei, you need to go to Moscow to blow the wind tunnel. ”

Originally, it was said that it was modified on the basis of the MiG-21 and taken out for use in third world countries, but now it is good, people are not satisfied, they think the performance is low, and they require a major change!

Tu Jida on the side, has not spoken, but, the expression on his face, shows his nervousness, in this cooperation, in fact, Cheng Fei is not too sure, until now, Cheng Fei has not gone through a completely independent research and development project, if according to Mubarak, this is simply to create a brand new aircraft! How much to invest? Will Egypt accept it?

However, he has a faint expectation in his heart, if this kind of fighter can be successfully developed, it will definitely be a big leap for Cheng Fei! Following behind the Mikoyan Design Bureau, going through this process is definitely a rare experience for Chengfei's research and development team!

Just, how much does it cost? Can Egypt afford to get out?

"So, how much research and development money is needed?" Mubarak asked.

"According to preliminary estimates, 300 million to 500 million rubles will be needed." Alexander said. (To be continued.) )
