Last time, Andrey gave a serious critique of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the core problem of which is stealth performance! The Mikoyan Design Bureau's wooden technology demonstrator of the MiG-1.42 project did not have any stealth considerations at all, although measures such as sawtooth were added, stealth was not much improved, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau put all its bets on plasma stealth technology.

At the same time, at the last Moscow Air Show, the wooden technical demonstrator of the MiG-1.42 project was announced, in fact, this is also a signal, which means that the scheme of the technical demonstrator was abandoned!

Otherwise, how could that kind of plan be revealed to the world and studied by the West?

Belyakov learned the hard way and decided to push the shape to the beginning, the main thing is to start with stealth performance! Only in this way can the products of the Mikoyan Design Bureau be able to have the possibility of bidding.

So, they made a big change to the appearance, and in this regard, referring to the models that Andrei left to the Sukhoi Design Bureau, they came up with the current fighter.

From the most basic point of view, this fighter was born from the previous project plan, for example, it still uses the canard wing scheme, but the entire fuselage has been designed and repaired for stealth, and the front nose has become a diamond-shaped scheme, which is also the most suitable stealth aircraft scheme determined by the United States after years of research. In this case, it caused a lot of trouble to the design of the air intake.

After all, both the MiG-29 and the Su-27 have belly air intakes, so that the air intake tract is the shortest and the air intake efficiency is the highest, but from the front air intake, the blades of the engine behind can be seen directly, so that there is no stealth at all, and the blades will seriously reflect radar waves. The original project of the MiG 1.42 also used belly air intake, and the blades were unobstructed. And now, in order to change the air intake, and also to cooperate with the nose, the layout of the belly air intake has been changed to a two-rib air intake, which is perfectly integrated with the canard wings, side wings, and nose! It's the culmination of hard work by engineers!

The vertical tail at the back is also more inclined, and the entire layout of the whole machine can be said to condense all the wisdom of the team led by Belyakov!

Andrei's heart was already shocked, but there was no expression on his face, this look, Belyakov on the side, seemed to be bottomless again!

The performance of the fighter cannot be proved by the model alone, so the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry finally decided that two units, the Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, would build a technical demonstration machine to verify the performance of their fighters, and then choose from them.

Even if it is a manufacturing technology verification machine, the first one must be built a static test, and the whole machine is connected with sensors everywhere to test the force, which is the first step in the scientific manufacture of fighters, if the force analysis is not perfect, it may disintegrate after going to the sky.

Looking at it like this, can it be that we don't even need to assemble the second technical verification machine, and we can directly declare it a failure? Belyakov knew that his project was not favored by General Andrei, in addition to not considering stealth, General Andrei's dislike of the canard wing was also a very important factor.

However, as the chief designer, you must stick to the principles yourself! Stealth was not taken into account, it was a mistake of oneself, which I had already changed, but on the issue of canard wings, I could not compromise! After all, until now, the experts of the Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Central Fluid Institute have agreed that the static and unstable layout of the canard wing is the most suitable for improving the maneuverability of the fighter! It's the right choice!

Anyway, if General Andrei is not optimistic, he will have to fight for it himself!

"Andrey?" Ustinov on the side also saw that Andrei's expression was unusual, and couldn't help but say beside him.

Andre came back to his senses at this time: "Well, this plane has been changed like this, it's really beautiful, I was stunned just now." ”

Pretty? Is this a compliment? Belyakov was overjoyed, so there is hope for his own aircraft?

From the outside, this plane is simply a mold extension of the black ribbon of later generations. However, in terms of performance, this fighter is definitely much stronger, after all, in later generations, although Chengfei has developed rapidly in aerodynamics, stealth, etc., but in terms of engine, this short board can not be supplemented, so, limited by the engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine of the black ribbon is not high, and now, the black technology of the Soviet Union is extremely advanced, even if the old engine can only be used in the test flight stage, and when the AL41 comes out, it will definitely make this aircraft the king of the sky!

A good plane has to look beautiful! The Su-27 is one such product, and now, hearing Andrei's praise, Beryakov is extremely proud.

"Andrey, have you taken a fancy to this plane?" Ustinov said: "The last time I came, I saw this plane and thought it was beautiful. Seriously, when I look at Sukhoi's plane, it looks like it has been flattened, and it's not as smooth and beautiful as this one. ”

Now, too, only Ustinov dares to make such statements. You know, Sukhoi, that's what Andrei highly admires.

Andrei is still unsatisfied, fundamentally speaking, Andrei is definitely not the type of person who has always abandoned chaos, and when he came here, although he has met many women, Andrei has always been good to Ekaterina alone. But now, Andrei really has a joy, after all, in later generations, the black ribbon represents the future of the Chinese Air Force! Moreover, it is also the only fourth-generation aircraft that has been finalized except for the United States!

The appearance of this pneumatic shape is the result of various reasons and all aspects of consideration, which is suitable!

Of course, Andrey can't make a conclusion yet, this time, it's just a matter of seeing.

"How far has this new project progressed now?" Andrei asked.

"Our No. 1 machine, conducting static tests, is manufacturing the No. 2 machine, because the engine has not yet been finalized, so now we can only equip the AL31 modified engine to experiment, however, we are mainly to verify our flight control, as well as our stealth ability, and other aspects, are temporarily balanced with loads." "Probably the project will develop for another six months to a year, and then it will have a showdown with Sukhoi's products," Belyakov said. Of course, the R&D progress in avionics and other aspects is also lagging behind, but when our competition is over, it should be about the same. ”

Now, Beryakov's heart is no longer worried, General Andrei is satisfied with this aircraft, and his hopes are great! (To be continued.) )
