In the past, Andrei strongly opposed the canard wing, however, at that time, Andrei was not completely against the canard layout, Andrei opposed the Su-27 canard wing, which became a three-wing aircraft, which seemed majestic, but in fact did more harm than good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the aircraft, which was originally a canard layout, Andrei did not express his approval, and at the same time did not express extreme disgust. After all, in later generations, except for the United States, almost all other new fighters are duck layout, which shows that this kind of aircraft also has advantages, especially in instantaneous rotation performance, the duck layout is originally called a head-up layout, and it is not blown when it moves.

Andrey was just disgusted that the Mikoyan Design Bureau did not take stealth seriously and pressed all the blockages on plasma stealth technology.

And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, apparently, is also left behind. At his own suggestion, the fastest molding scheme of Sukhoi is, of course, a stealth improvement on the basis of the Su-27, similar to the scheme of the T-50, and at the same time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also chose the scheme of the canard layout!

Andrei is not omnipotent, it is impossible to understand everything, Andrei's advantage lies in these unknown prophets from later generations. And in terms of specific academics, it is definitely inferior to these old pedants.

Moreover, Andre in his previous life, as a test pilot, has always stayed with Shen Fei, and has not been exposed to too much stealth design, as for the J-31 made by Shen Fei, hehehe...

So, in fact, in Andrei's heart, it is not completely rejecting the duck layout. And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also wants to do it with both hands at the same time, which shows that the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not very confident about its own plan, and at the same time, it is determined to win!

With these two giants competing against each other, this is the best way to choose from them!

"I'm just a pilot, not an expert, and I respect your choice." Andrei said: "However, if you are developing these two aircraft at the same time, will it involve energy?" ”

You must know that the Mikoyan Design Bureau in history, only one type of MiG-1.44, which consumed a lot of energy and time, and finally the collapse of the USSR did not come out.

And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is doing both at the same time! In this case, will you be low on energy?

"Of course not, our two planes actually have a lot in common." Simonov said: "At the same time, our new canard layout has a higher footing. When designing, we considered it more as a newer generation of fighters, for example, the weapons of this aircraft, we planned to equip it with electromagnetic guns. ”

Electromagnetic cannon! With the continued development of the Soviet economy, there are sufficient funds to support the research and development of various black technologies, orbital laser weapons are one, and electromagnetic guns can also be regarded as another, until now, Andrei finally put the fighter in front of him, and the one in history.

Regardless of future generations, at least for now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is really fighting, after all, in the project of the third-generation aircraft, the Su-27 stabilized the MiG-29, and on the project of the fourth-generation aircraft, the Sukhoi Design Bureau still needs to accumulate and continue to struggle.

As for what it will be like in the future, even Andre is looking forward to it, and now, for such a big guy, Andre is undeniable, after all, if the technology is too advanced, the risk of research and development is also very great. As for who will spend the new generation of fighters, this is a decisive progress for the Soviet aviation industry!

After half a day of visiting the Sukhoi Design Bureau, in the second half of the day, Andrei and his party came to the Gromov test flight institute in Zhukovsky.

Last year, the Moscow Air Show was held here, which attracted a large number of tourists to watch, opened the window of Moscow for the people of the world, and let them understand what kind of scene this country was portrayed as a flood beast in the Western media.

And when the air show passed, it was quiet again, and as an important aviation research base of the Soviets, the degree of secrecy here was also quite high.

After going through several gates and finally entering the test flight institute, Andrei was shocked again.

Originally, Andrei came here mainly to see the test flight of the new aircraft of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. However, the plane did not see it, but was first stunned by an aircraft on the runway that was preparing for a test flight.

Judging from the rear of the fuselage, it is completely the appearance of a MiG-25, with a huge rectangular air intake, twin engines and double vertical tails, however, the wingspan seems to have become larger, and at the same time, the front fuselage is different from the MiG-25, you can see that the fuselage is significantly elongated, and it is also widened, and there are portholes on the side, the appearance of a passenger plane is alive, but the volume is a little small, it seems that it is good to be able to accommodate a single row.

That, it seems to be the MiG-25 version of a supersonic airliner, right?

The MiG-25 once held up the Soviet sky, and under Andrei's operation, the MiG-25 was like a giant dragon flying in the air, suppressing the breathlessness of the Western world.

But now, although the MiG-25 is not declassified like later generations, the MiG-25 is still outdated, relying only on high altitude and high speed to win living space, when the opponent's air defense missiles are upgraded, there will be problems, and now, in the arsenal of the West, several missiles are optimized specifically for the MiG-25.

Therefore, the MiG-25 is gradually retired from active service, and the upgraded MiG-31 is not likely to be in close combat, it is just an ultra-long-range interceptor, and it has even developed to the ability of early warning aircraft to command several MiG-29 or Su-27 to fight.

It was in this context that Andrei came up with the idea of transforming the MiG-25 into a supersonic business airliner, which was originally a plan of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and now it is being used to fool the big dogs in the Middle East.

Even under the circumstance of being deceived and threatened, countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have placed orders to buy this supersonic business airliner that is still on paper, and after that, Andrei has not paid attention to it, and now, I just happened to see the test flight of this supersonic business airliner, how can I not be excited!

"Let's go down and see this airliner." Andrei said to Ustinov beside him: "This is a good thing! (To be continued.) )
