Engine, Andrei doesn't care, in this era, Maozi's technology is quite strong, AL-31F has been fully matured, with the Su-27 equipped with troops, then, improved on the basis of AL31F, and then developed a new AL-41 engine, can also be carried out step by step.

After all, in history, the Rurica Design Bureau began the research and development of the AL41 engine in 86 years, and it was also carried out for the MiG-1.42 project verification machine of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, which used a large number of advanced materials such as composite materials and new alloys, and applied full digital control, etc., and the single-crystal blade high-pressure turbine was cooled by new blades, and finally the AL-41 was greatly improved in every aspect compared with the AL-31. The turbine temperature has increased by 12 percent, the thrust-to-weight ratio has increased from 8 to 11 on the AL-31, and the thrust/frontal area ratio has also improved. Moreover, the cost of engine operation is reduced by about a quarter.

If it weren't for the embarrassing collapse of the Soviet Union in later generations, this engine could have been finalized and produced after test runs, and became the same advanced engine as the United States, but unfortunately, the rest of Russia could only eat the old book, and the later 117S engine was only a product that applied part of the AL41 technology mixed with AL31, and it was far from the real AL-41, and with the loss of funds and technology, it was impossible for the Rurika Design Bureau to design the real AL-41.

Now, under Andrei's promotion, the Su-27 has appeared five years earlier, and the engine has also begun to be developed simultaneously, so Andrei is not worried about the heart disease problems faced by later generations of Huaxia, and Andrei is always worried about electronic technology.

One of the advances of the fourth-generation aircraft is electronic technology, not to mention the powerful electronic warfare capability of the entire fighter, and the radar alone is no longer the effect that the flat slot radar can achieve.

Flat panel slot radar, in essence, is different from the original inverted radar, but the shape of the radar antenna is different, the conversion rate of radiated radar energy is different, and the transmitter and receiver are still similar. In order for the radar beam to reach various places, the antenna needs to be rotated, so that the purpose of observing any airspace at any time cannot be achieved.

The newer generation of radar is a phased array, in which the radar antenna does not move, and by changing the phase of the radar beam, it automatically radiates to the surrounding airspace. On the MiG-31, Mikoyan's engineers stuffed the phased array radar into it.

However, this is a passive phased array radar, and the transmitting mechanism is still the same as before, emitting with a high-power magnetron, but changing the radar beam phase through the front ferrite phase shifter, this phased array radar can only be a transition.

The radar of the future will be the era of active phased array radar, and this initiative lies in the fact that every point of the radar antenna is a transmitting and receiving unit! It can both transmit and receive. Each unit is a T/R component, so that even if the radar antenna fails, some components can continue to work and continue to complete the task, and at the same time, by changing the phase of each beam, it can not only realize the scanning of the whole airspace, but also concentrate all the beams together, which is used to increase the ability to detect stealth aircraft!

And for the USSR, electronic systems were always lacking!

Hearing Andrei's question, Simonov said: "Our radar development department, together with experts from the island countries, has now completed the development of the basic T/R module and is preparing for subsequent integration. ”

Hearing this, Andrei showed a look of joy on his face: "This is a huge progress, I want to report to General Secretary Andropov, these experts should be rewarded!" I would advise General Secretary Andropov to give them the title of Hero of Labor of the Soviet Union! ”

At this time, Andrei suddenly remembered that in history, the active phased array radar of the Americans was also developed from the island country!

In the 90s of that year, the American father saw that the godson island country made a t/r module, so he said, take it and let us test it, see how much worse the performance is compared with ours, and then take it back, carefully study it, and then build it, and after all, the American father's technical strength is strong, and the performance of the island country is better than that of the island country after improvement, and then they said to the godson of the island country, well, yes, continue to work hard, it is worse than ours!

However, that was already the technology of the nineties, and now, only in the eighties, in Andrei's consciousness, he thought that a single T/R component would plague the Soviets for many years, after all, Soviet radar technology had just reached the standard of flat slot radar, and it would definitely be difficult to engage in active phased array. Who knows, with the cooperation of experts from the island countries and the strong technical strength, it will be done so quickly!

With all that, what's the difference? As long as you continue to invest money and carry out research and development, the development of fighter aircraft is the most money-burning behavior, and the state system of the Soviets determines that the Soviets are not afraid of burning money!

"I really hope that our new fighter can be developed quickly, truly surpass the West and the United States, and let our technology lead the whole world." Andrei said.

"General Andrey, can you give us a picture of what you have in mind the future fighter will look like?" Simonov asked.

Every suggestion of Andrei was very correct, and some were even more proficient than professional designers, which made Simonov decide to ask Andrei for advice while being interested.

What will the fighter of the future look like? Andrei thought for a moment: "Is there plasticine?" ”

In the design bureau, there is no shortage of this thing, and many designers also use plasticine to knead shapes when they are inspired, and for Andrey, this is a better form of expression.

After all, if Andrei was asked to draw complex structural drawings, it would be absolutely impossible, and Andrei could only make a few models according to the models of later generations.

Familiar, one model after another, soon appeared in front of everyone.

The first, the only fourth-generation aircraft in service, the F-22, the second, the T-50, which Russia fought to catch up, and the third, the B-2 stealth bomber.

The fourth? Andrei thought about it, but still pinched out the F117.

"I'll give you these models as a souvenir." "Butterfly wings, full-motion flat tails, twin vertical tails with large inclinations, diamond-shaped noses, built-in weapons, these are the most suitable options for stealth aircraft," Andrei said. Hehe, these are my personal opinions. ”

Next, it seems that it's time to go and see the aircraft carrier? (To be continued.) )
