"Your Majesty, the J-10 fighter jet developed by the Royal Aircraft Factory commissioned by the Air Force Armament Commission has been finalized as a whole, and the 522nd wind tunnel test is still being carried out in the wind tunnel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Feng Ru, Chief Aviation Director of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, reported to Wang Chenhao on the testing of the latest model of the J-10 fighter. Standing next to him were Defense Minister Wang Shizhen, Air Force Minister Liu Xiang, Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi and Finance Minister Song Hanzhang.

According to the process of design generation, research and development generation, and service generation, the Chinese Imperial Air Force began to develop the next advanced fighter when the Thunderbolt fighter and Hellfire fighter were in service, which was the development of the J-8 fighter on the basis of the J-7 Hellfire fighter.

However, the Thunderbolt and Hellfire fighters of the Chinese Empire have dominated the world for many years, and European and American countries simply cannot catch up with or surpass the active fighters of the Chinese Empire in a short period of time after the war, which has caused the J-8 developed by the Chinese Imperial Aviation Administration to fail to enter service, and the upgraded version of the J-9 has also not been ordered by the military.

In this way, at the end of Guanghua 26 nine years later, the research and development indicators of the J-10 fighter were increased again and again, and the experts were even almost ready to develop the super fighter in Amosif's science fiction novel.

Nine years ago, the Hellfire fighter was the flagship of Royal Airlines and has been dominating the world ever since. As a result, Royal Airlines continued to be favored by the Chinese Imperial Air Force and authorized the development of the J-10 fighter. Since Royal Airlines is Wang Chenhao's private property, the design and development of the Jian-10 fighter is naturally indispensable to Wang Chenhao's "fingers", and the ultra-modern sense is naturally not a problem.

The Hellfire fighter is a propeller aircraft. The design concept of many future fighters has been integrated, and it can be said that the overall model no longer needs to be modified in the general direction, and has reached the most advanced streamlined shape. Therefore, the J-10 fighter has not changed much in the shape of the Hellfire fighter, and only slightly corrected the details under the wind tunnel test data. Its wings are designed as trapezoidal straight wings, and the wingspan is large and angular tail, giving it greater handling performance and a more modern aesthetic.

For the first time, the Hellfire fighter had a retractable landing gear. This is evident in the J-10 fighter. The landing gear needs to withstand the gravitational force of the aircraft when it is parked on the ground, taxiing, taking off and landing, and running. Withstands, consumes, and absorbs the impact and jolt energy of aircraft during landing and ground motion. Braking when taxiing and maneuvering the aircraft, and maneuvering the aircraft when taxiing and taxiing. In the past, the speed of the aircraft was low, the requirements for the landing gear were not strict, and even the fixed landing gear did not affect the flight and combat of the aircraft. But in the era of the Hellfire fighter. At speeds of more than 380 km/h, whether the landing gear is retracted, where it is retracted, and how much weight it retracts can seriously affect the performance of the aircraft.

The landing gear is received into the wings or fuselage when the aircraft is in the air for good aerodynamic performance, and the landing gear is lowered when the aircraft lands. However, there are gains and losses. The disadvantage of this is that the total weight of the aircraft is increased due to the addition of a complex retraction system to the landing gear.

Therefore, in the past nine years, Wang Chenhao has given advice when he has nothing to do. Under the guidance of Wang Chenhao. Feng Ru and other aeronautical engineers finally understood the meaning of Wang Chenhao's words, so they greatly improved the landing gear device.

In order to meet the needs of the take-off, landing, taxiing and ground taxiing of the J-10 fighter. The lowest end of the landing gear is equipped with wheels with pneumatic tires for improved load-bearing. In order to shorten the landing run, brakes are installed on the wheels. In addition, a system including load-bearing struts, shock absorbers, retraction mechanisms, front wheel sway reducers and cornering control has been installed on it. The load-bearing struts connect the wheels and shock absorbers to the body. And transfer the impact load during landing and gliding to the airframe. The front wheel sway absorber is used to eliminate the oscillation of the front wheel in high-speed coasting. The nose wheel turning control mechanism can increase the flexibility of the aircraft in ground turning. When the aircraft lands and lands at the moment of landing or when running at high speed on an uneven runway, it has a violent impact with the ground, except for the pneumatic tires that can play a small part of the cushioning effect, most of the impact energy is absorbed by shock absorbers. The application of the J-10 fighter is an oil-air shock absorber. When the shock absorber is compressed by impact, the air acts like a spring, storing energy. The oil passes through the small holes at a very high speed, absorbing a large amount of impact energy and converting it into heat energy, so that the aircraft will be stabilized quickly after the impact and will not be bumped.

The braking device is a key technology, mainly because the speed of the Jian-10 fighter is too fast, and the landing runway distance is too long if the brakes are not improved, which is not conducive to taking off and landing on aircraft carriers in the future. Therefore, Feng Ru personally led the team to tackle key problems and developed a disc brake device, which is mainly characterized by large friction area, large heat capacity, easy maintenance, and can effectively reduce the landing and running distance of J-10.

The cockpit has been improved, the original Hellfire fighter is installed with a goose egg-shaped one-time stamping of the glass windshield cockpit, but the actual combat shows that although the glass cockpit is clear, but once it is hit by a bullet, the glass fragments hurt the pilot, and a bullet is likely to be broken throughout the windshield, can not play a role in blocking the wind, high-speed flight fighter is very cold, the pilot can not stand it, affecting combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, the plastic synthesis and processing industry of the Chinese Empire has achieved scale, and the successful development of transparent plastics has made the aircraft cockpit windshield cover change to a full-vision plastic cockpit cover. Although the clarity is still not as clean as glass due to process limitations, it does not affect the pilot's line of sight, and its safety and protection performance is much stronger than that of glass, and the weight is reduced.

The propeller is responsible for converting the engine's power into forward thrust, and its importance cannot be overstated. During the development of the Hellfire fighter, the engineers could not understand the variable pitch turboprop method proposed by Wang Chenhao, but after nine years of project research, the engineers finally developed this variable pitch turboprop, which is also a three-inch wide twin propeller. After changing to a turbine type, the thrust was doubled. Significantly reduced power consumption, reduced fuel consumption, the importance of the fighter is self-evident.

Precisely because of the use of turboprops. Coupled with the amazing achievements of the Chinese Empire in aero engines nine years later, Adel developed the KMX-25 twelve-cylinder air-cooled engine with a rated power of 1129 kilowatts, coupled with an improved geared supercharger/decompressor, which made the J-10 fighter achieve a combat speed of 766 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 540 kilometers per hour, and a limit speed of up to 852 kilometers per hour, far exceeding the maximum speed of 380 kilometers per hour of the Hellfire fighter. Of course. Compared with the engine of the J-10, the Daimler-Benz DB601M engine developed by the Germans for five years is much inferior, and it is large in size, heavy and prone to failure at high altitude and high speed, and the main reason for this factor is that Germany is far behind the Chinese Empire in aero engines.

In firepower. The armament of the J-10 fighter is still the inheritance of the Hellfire, with three 12.7mm M2 heavy machine guns arranged side by side on each wing (after 1927, a 20mm cannon was added to the nose to counter the German He-100 fighter). It can carry 1 1500 kg aerial bomb or 8 rockets under the wings.

The rocket is still 47 mm caliber unchanged, but the overall length has been increased. Its effective range reaches 2000 meters, and its accuracy has not changed much, and it is still not suitable for aerial combat, which is conducive to ground attack. But in order to not affect its fighting performance. The mounted rocket system can be thrown away during a dogfight, just like the fuel tank.

The advantage of the Hellfire's all-metal stamping is that the fuselage and wings are very strong. This was evident during the war against the United States. The bullets of the US fighter jets hit the fuselage of the Hellfire fighters, and some sparks were just sparks. It's hard to hurt the vital point. Therefore, the J-10 fighter is still full metal skin, with the progress of the material technology of the Chinese Empire, the J-10 fighter uses magnesium-aluminum-chromium alloy with lighter weight, higher strength and stronger corrosion resistance, if it were not for the radar of other countries has not yet been deployed in actual combat, Wang Chenhao wants to coat the J-10 with stealth paint that absorbs radar waves.

On the whole, the J-10 fighter is more modern and has a very high technical content. With an empty weight of 3 tons and a take-off weight of 5.89 tons, especially when equipped with high-power engines and high-performance turboprops, the range has more than tripled compared to the 1,200 kilometers of the Hellfire fighter, reaching 3,800 kilometers (not surpassing the Mustang), and can accompany long-range bombers on any mission.

At the same time, in terms of practical ceiling, the J-10 fighter broke through the 6,000-meter mark of the Hellfire fighter and broke through the 10,000-meter mark to reach 12,500 meters. It only takes two minutes to climb to an altitude of 6,000 meters, and it jumps to an altitude of 10,000 meters in five minutes.

Finally, the most modern equipment is on the J-10 fighter, that is, the J-10 fighter has a lot of instruments added to the cockpit. The most attractive thing is the addition of an airborne radar system, which can search for radar targets the size of an aircraft within a range of 70 kilometers. In addition, the duration of on-board radio calls has been increased to one hour and radio communications to ten hours.

Again, there was a revolutionary improvement, and that was that the fighters of the Chinese Empire began with the J-10 fighter, and the aircraft was equipped with searchlights and navigation lights to conduct night operations. The main thing is to prepare for the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft carriers, because the inability of carrier-based aircraft to move at night has always been a weakness of the Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, and it is what the Imperial Chinese Air Force is eager to improve.

Of course, the J-10 fighter is so advanced that the various advanced electronic equipment on the plane alone is worth more than 20 million dragon coins, and its overall cost is as high as 660,000 dragon coins, which is enough to buy 5 Hellfire fighters.

In the imperial study, Wang Chenhao asked Feng Ru: "If the Imperial Air Force immediately purchases the Jian-10 fighter, when will it be mass-produced and put into service at the earliest?" ”

Feng Ru replied: "Your Majesty, the J-10 fighter has been researched since the mass production of the Hellfire fighter in Guanghua's seventeenth year, and it has been more than eight years and seven months since this year. Because the hegemony of the Imperial Air Force has not been threatened for a long time, the J-10 fighter has been continuously upgraded, so far, the performance of the J-10 fighter has far surpassed the Hellfire fighter, but the production cost is high, the construction period is as long as nine months, and the mass production takes at least a year. ”

Liu Xiang suddenly shook his head and said, "It's too long, a year." The South African battlefield certainly can't wait. ”

Wang Shizhen asked: "Lord Feng, the performance of the Jian-10 fighter is too strong, and the Heinkel fighter against the Germans is a knife to kill chickens." We don't need such a powerful fighter yet, and taking it out will cause international panic. Slow down the performance. With a transitional model, as long as the Heinkel fighters who could suppress the Germans were sufficient. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "That's right!" Aren't there still J-8 and J-9 projects? ”

Feng Ru explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know! The J-8 and J-9 projects were canceled five years ago and three years ago, because there is the J-10 project, so it would be a waste of money to spend any more energy on the research and development of the J-8 and J-9. As a result, the Directorate General of Aviation terminated the program long ago. As for what Wang said, it is okay to reduce the performance to produce a batch of transitional fighters, the General Aviation Administration has used wind tunnels to test many aircraft shapes, and has also developed aero engines with different horsepower, and it is not a problem to assemble a transitional model of fighters that suppress the Heinkel fighters. ”

"But then again!" Feng Ru continued: "The maximum speed of the Heinkel fighter has reached 560 kilometers per hour. A fighter at this speed is not something that can be produced in a month or two. The more than 1,000-horsepower aero engines they use will take at least five months or more, and even with the Empire's strong manufacturing capabilities, it will take three to four months to produce a fighter with this performance to be mass-produced. ”

Tang Shaoyi said to Wang Chenhao at this time: "Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be a technical problem of the empire. It's a question of how long it takes to go to mass production. The South African battlefield will last at most a month, and if the empire does not provide advanced planes to press the enemy out, the United ** will definitely lose morale, and the South African battlefield will probably drag into an endless war of attrition. ”

Wang Chenhao frowned and said, "What should I do then?" We can't know that the enemy's planes are more advanced than our current Hellfire fighters, so we have to hit it hard! Touch a nose to ash. Is there a shame in it? ”

The crowd fell silent.

After a while, Feng Ru suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!" ”

Wang Chenhao waved his hand and said, "Say it quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Feng Ru sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "Chen has seen the data of the Heinkel fighter. With Germany's current technology and manufacturing capabilities, the above data is likely to be the limit of the Heinkel fighter. In fact, this fighter is not afraid. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly wondered: "How do you say this?" ”

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

Feng Ru continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks after researching. The actual combat data of the Heinkel fighter should be between 450~480, because the structure of their aero engine is not enough to maintain a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour for a long time, and the instantaneous speed will not exceed three minutes, and the ultimate speed is quite dangerous. ”

Liu Xiang asked: "Even if it is as Lord Feng said, its actual speed is between 450~480, it is far beyond the limit speed of the Hellfire fighter, and it is very disadvantageous in combat." ”

Feng Ru explained: "I have a way to speed up all the Hellfire fighters in the empire to 480 kilometers per hour in a month, so that I can use the Hellfire fighters to deal with the enemy. ”

Wang Chenhao's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "What is the speed-up method?" ”

Everyone is also looking forward to it.

Feng Ru said with a smile: "Although there is no way to complete the mass production of the new fighter within a month, he can modify the existing Hellfire fighter within a month. The model of the Hellfire fighter has always been perfect, although the J-10 fighter tested in the wind tunnel has not changed much in terms of the aerodynamic layout of the model. Therefore, when the General Aviation Administration developed fighter jets, it first developed high-power aero engines with the models of Hellfire fighters. Although the J-8 and J-9 have been cancelled, their aero engine research and development is ongoing. As long as the Hellfire fighter is replaced with a J-8 or J-9 engine as the heart, a slight modification can greatly increase the speed, and the key modification will not take much time, one month is enough. ”

"That's right!" Liu Xiang was immediately overjoyed and said: "I have seen the appearance of the J-8 fighter, and it is no different from the Hellfire, but the power of the J-8's engine has reached 1000 horsepower, just change it to the Hellfire fighter." ”

Wang Chenhao also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then let's modify it and let the hellfire go into battle again." ”

At this time, Song Hanzhang suddenly asked: "Why do you change the engine of the Jian-8?" Aren't there engines for J-9 and J-10? Wouldn't it be faster to just put it on? ”

Feng Ru said with a smile: "Lord Song doesn't know, in fact, it takes such a long time for the mass production of the J-10 fighter to be mass-produced. The key lies in the manufacture of the engine, the production cycle of the J-10 engine will take ten months, and the mass production is conservatively estimated to take only one year. And the engine of the J-10 is upgraded from the J-8 J-9, and the engine of the J-8 and J-9 will take more than five months! ”

Song Hanzhang was stunned and said: "So that's the case! It's just that the engine of the J-8 and J-9 will take more than five months. So how do you guarantee that the conversion will be completed within a month? Isn't it? ”

Song Hanzhang was about to say the answer, Feng Ru said with a smile: "We have at least 200 aircraft engines for J-8 and J-9, and we can modify 200 Hellfire fighters. And the Air Force of the Republic of South Africa will not have more than 200 Heinkel fighters, and with the quality of their pilots, I guess we will be able to defeat them with only 50 of them. ”

"I love to hear that!" Wang Chenhao suddenly laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Ru hurriedly thanked him.

Tang Shaoyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this way, we can send the Hellfire fighter jet, otherwise we will really be degraded by all countries!" ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "This incident has given us a warning. That is, we should not underestimate the countries of Europe and the United States, after all, they are old industrial countries for several hundred years, and their reserves of talent and technology are still very strong, and our party can learn from them. ”

The ministers also felt this. So they shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

After Wang Chenhao's approval, more than 200 Hellfire fighters in service in the Chinese Empire began to be replaced with new aero engines on a large scale, so the Hellfire fighter had a derivative version of the J-7B (J7B). The 200 J7B fighters will be converted within a month, and they will be sent to the South African battlefield immediately after replacing them with strong hearts.

In order to delay for a month, representatives of the League of Nations of the Chinese Empire played Tai Chi with various countries. Ask countries for benefits. And none of the countries wanted to unite and lose to the Republic of South Africa, plus they all wanted to see the Hellfire fighters of the Chinese Empire and take the opportunity to obtain some valuable information, so they were very interested. All kinds of pressure was exerted to force the Chinese Empire to drop Hellfire fighters on the battlefield in South Africa.

The same is true for Germany, which wants to test new German weaponry on the battlefield in South Africa. Being able to fight the mythical Hellfire fighters of the Chinese Empire was also the dream of the Luftwaffe. Therefore, I am also very much looking forward to putting pressure on the Republic of South Africa not to take the initiative to attack the United States and strive for peace negotiations.

On February 3, 1927, the Chinese Imperial Air Force sent the 17th Air Wing and the 33rd Air Wing to South Africa to form the South African Expeditionary Force Aviation Division. At the same time, the Chinese Empire dispatched two more aircraft carrier battle groups from the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa to support the Expeditionary Force Aviation Division.

In order to give the South African Republican Army a disadvantage, the day after the Chinese Imperial Expeditionary Force Aviation Division arrived in Cape Town, Cai Ye ordered a joint counterattack on all fronts and launched a new onslaught on Parr, which was controlled by the South African Republican Army. The 200 Hellfire modified fighters of the 17th Air Wing and the 33rd Air Wing of the Chinese Empire were dispatched, and the remaining more than 70 Thunderbolt fighters of the United ** Air Force, plus 120 F2B fighters urgently allocated by Britain to the Air Force of the Republic of South Africa, also took to the air one after another, following behind to "fight the autumn wind".

On the ground, the steel torrent of the United ** swept everything, and in the sky, the warplanes roared, and the black clouds rushed towards Parr like a river and a sea, with the meaning of annihilating the First Army of the South African Republican Army in Parr in one fell swoop.

The Republic of South Africa's Air Force has deployed 220 Heinkel-100 fighters in Worcester, which is the entire aircraft of the Republic of South Africa, including the 32 aircraft that Germany has just replenished to South Africa, and is also ready to compete with the Chinese Imperial Air Force.

In the sky of Parr, the rampant pilots of the Chinese Empire and the United ** pilots have all participated in world wars, and they are 'old fritters' who have 'drunk' thousands of tons of aviation fuel and flown thousands of hours in the air. Many of them have taken too much pure oxygen due to long-term high-altitude flights, and their brains have become bald.

The Air Force of the Republic of South Africa, on the other hand, has less than 100 hours of flight time and less than 5 hours of actual air combat, and has not yet obtained a 'pilot's license for high-speed fighters.

Before setting off, the Air Force of the Republic of South Africa had just finished flying a high-altitude formation (4 planes) and a single and double aircraft attack, and the 8-plane formation had only flown a few times. A significant number of pilots had not had time to fire their cannons before going into battle. It is such an air force, with the advanced Heinkel fighters, defeated the elites of the United Nations Air Force, no wonder all countries are "indignant", if this time can not be recovered, it will be a shame.

"Bird's Nest! Nest! I'm a fledgling! The bait comes out, please pay attention to the side right, and it's over! ”

"The Bird's Nest understands! The fledglings themselves be careful! Don't be in love! Complete! ”

"The fledgling understands! Complete! ”

……

Although today is the time for the Hellfire fighter and the Heinkel fighter to fight each other, Jiang Chen still takes the entire war into consideration, defeating the enemy is not the goal, and destroying the other party is the victory. Therefore, Jiang Chen ordered dozens of Thunderbolt fighters of the United Nations Air Force to attack as decoys to lure the Republic of South African Air Force, which had little tactical experience.

Sure enough, the joint ** decoy flight formation, which entered the airspace of the battlefield first, was attacked by the Air Force of the Republic of South Africa, which suddenly dived down from a high altitude.

Jiang Chen waited for a while, and after determining that the number of enemy planes in the group matched the intelligence's more than 200 planes, he immediately took action.

'I'm a bird's nest, the wings are the idea, attack with me!' ‘

Commander Jiang Chen gave an order, and the two hundred Hellfire fighters were divided into two attack echelons on the left and right, and the nose of the plane sank violently, and suddenly plunged down from an altitude of more than 6,000 meters towards a low altitude of 1,500 meters.

The Imperial Chinese Air Force suddenly killed, and the high-speed Hellfire fighters were no slower than the Henkel fighters of the South African Air Force, which immediately frightened these rookies.

It may be that the German coach handed it to them, and the South African Air Force actually put on a circle tactic, linking head to tail, covering each other, and looking for opportunities to bite the tail to attack. In order to balance out the surprise attack of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, it was a seasoned tactic to defend against enemy surprise attacks.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire, the South African Air Force, which had not experienced a world war, had no such experience at all, and the commander was estimated to be a foreign officer.

Jiang Chen guessed correctly, the commander of the South African Air Force was the German ace pilot Colonel Rucker, and when he learned that the Chinese Empire had sent Hellfire fighters to South Africa, the Luftwaffe was also very nervous, and they didn't know if their Heinkel fighters could defeat the mythical Hellfire fighters of the Chinese Empire. Apparently, the pilots of the South African Air Force were too vegetable, so the Luftwaffe appointed Colonel Rucker as commander.

However, Jiang Chen knew that the horizontal maneuverability of the Heinkel fighter was better than that of the Hellfire fighter of the Chinese Empire, but the vertical maneuverability was much inferior. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately led the team to pull up again, climbed high and carried out a dive attack on the US aircraft group, and then pulled up again and attacked again...... So repeatedly, the rookie can't do it after all, and soon the circle formation of the South African Air Force is in chaos.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and opened fire at a distance of 400 meters, and the two enemy planes were hit respectively, tumbling and falling, and soon the two wings of the Imperial Chinese Air Force attacked 232 enemy planes with 200 planes and won a 32:0 victory.

The rookies of the South African Air Force saw that the Chinese Imperial Air Force was unstoppable, and they immediately panicked and turned around and fled. And Rucker also understood that the Hellfire fighters of the Chinese Empire were about the same as Henkel in speed and firepower, although in horizontal maneuvering, Henkel fighters had a slight advantage, but in climb and dive, the Hellfire fighters were more advantageous. The Imperial Chinese Air Force won this battle by being experienced, so Rucker knew it and immediately ordered the whole team to retreat.

The Chinese Imperial Air Force won a complete victory, and immediately retained its position on the altar, and the morale of the United States was greatly boosted. (To be continued)
