Andrei smiled, as an outstanding Soviet aircraft designer, Andrei, of course, could not let him lose confidence because of a project. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I am confident that our T-10 project will be successfully completed." Andrei said: "I have full confidence in the Sukhoi Design Bureau. ”

"Thank you, General Andrei, for your support." Simonov was very impressed.

"Comrade Simonov, I still have some immature ideas that I would like to discuss with you." Andrei said.

This time he came to the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Andrey, of course, not only to see the progress of the T-10, but at the same time, there were some new ideas.

"General Andrei, please." Simonov said.

"From the point of view of modern air combat, the first thing that is needed is radar detection." Andrei said: "If our fighters can not be detected by the opponent's radar, or in other words, they can not be detected by the opponent's radar at a long distance, can we greatly improve the actual combat performance of the fighters?" ”

"Yes." Simonov said: "If our fighters cannot be detected by radar, it means that the survivability of our fighters has been greatly improved, and the improvement of survivability will make the combat effectiveness grow simultaneously." However, we are now studying plasma stealth technology, and after the research is successful, it can be installed on our fighters, which can greatly improve the stealth capability of our fighters. ”

Plasma stealth is to place some plasma generators in certain parts of the aircraft. During the flight, a plasma stream is released to form a plasma electromagnetic shield around the aircraft, which "shields" the aircraft and makes it impossible for radar to detect. In the Soviets, this was a technique that was secretly studied, and in the Sukhoi Design Bureau, too, only Simonov knew about it.

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and in later generations, until the twenty-first century, this technology has not matured, so Andrei will not pin his hopes of stealth on this unrealistic way.

"Comrade Simonov, plasma stealth technology, theoretically it works, but in reality there will be all kinds of problems, and we cannot pin our hopes on it." Andrei said: "I now have a few small ideas to improve the stealth performance of our existing fighters. ”

Anyway, it's also a big change, the entire aerodynamic layout is being modified, it's better to take this opportunity to realize the stealth of the Su-27, although the effect is far from the stealth fighters of later generations, but at least don't make a 5 square meter RCS value.

A few small ideas can improve the stealth performance of the Su-27 on a large scale, and Andrei is quite clear, because, in later generations, he will have such theoretical research in Shenfei.

"General Andrei, please." Simonov said.

"First of all, our engine is directly suspended below, so that the power is abundant, and the performance of large angles of attack is good, but this kind of direct look at the past, you can see the structure of the compressor blades, which will greatly increase the reflection area, if the intake channel is optimized, the baffle is designed, or the interior is changed to an S-shaped air intake, the radar reflection area can be reduced by half." Andrei said.

After all, the blades of the engine, the rotating metal impeller, are the radiation source of strong anti-electromagnetic waves, and many of the electromagnetic waves scanned by the radar are reflected by the engine blades.

"Also, the radar reflection area on the side, the vertical tail occupies the most, the tall vertical tail, the radar wave is reflected back vertically, so that the enemy aircraft can easily find us through the radar, if the vertical double vertical tail, changed to an inclined vertical tail, you can greatly reduce the side radar cross-section, for example, now this design, the F-14 radar can search for us at a distance of 100 kilometers, then, after the improvement, the F-14 radar, I'm afraid it will have to be 50 kilometers, or even closer to be able to detect us."

The two that Andre said are common improvements in later generations, and all kinds of third-generation aircraft have become three and a half generations through these improvements.

Hearing Simonov nodded again and again, these improvements, compared to the big changes that are going to be made now, are nothing, and they can be added completely!

Seeing that Simonov agreed, Andrei was greatly encouraged, and he was a pilot himself, and he told the aircraft designer how to transform the fighter, which sounded a bit fantastical.

"In addition, the missiles mounted on our fighters are also a large source of radiation, if we can build weapons in, for example, in the middle of the air intakes of the two hoisted engines of the T-10, arrange the built-in weapon compartment, and only when launching, open the lid of the launch compartment, which is usually covered, so that the radar reflection area can be reduced to a greater extent, and we can have an absolute advantage over the United States and other Western fighters." Andrei said.

Built-in bomb bay! For true stealth, a built-in bomb bay is a must. In later generations, some people even thought of not opening the door, but using a similar revolver or rocket artillery type, the lower edge of the weapon compartment is flush with the lower edge of the air intake, and the middle part of the two air intakes is the weapon launch window. This not only improves the stealth of the fighter, but also improves the reaction speed of the weapon, and can also implement the modularization of the weapon compartment and the speed of weapon hoisting, and can choose different weapon compartments according to different tasks, which is also conducive to the storage of weapons. It is much better than the F-22's lower and side doors, which is the Su-27's specialty, because only the Su-27 has space in the middle of the air intake, and the forward view is wide!

"General Andrei, this weapon is built-in, which will greatly increase the complexity and difficulty of our fighters." Simonov said. The weapon is built-in, but it is not so easy, how to launch, how to mount, are all difficult problems, I am afraid that it will not be solved for a while, and it will seriously affect the progress.

"These are my personal opinions." Andrei hurriedly said: "If it is correct, you can accept it, if it is not correct, it will be the same as if I didn't say it." Stealth, now is still not valued by the higher authorities, perhaps, it will take a few more years to make more people aware of the importance of stealth, now, the focus of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is to finalize the T-10, these improvements, you can also pre-study first, leave it for a later stage and then improve. ”

"Yes, General Andrei, we will consider your proposal carefully." Simonov said: "We have benefited greatly from your erudition and foresight. ”

"It's all for the Soviets, our skies, but it's not very peaceful, there are always hateful Westerners who want to do something to us." Andrei said. (To be continued.) )
