The production line is British, regardless of whether it is backward or not, the management level is first-class, the smile on Mhammad's face continues to bloom, aero engines, but a big problem! If this problem is solved, the aviation industry will have a stable cornerstone!

Why are the US fighters all in a conventional layout and not engaged in a duck layout? It is because of the perverted aviation industry of the Americans, the engine is very advanced, the thrust-to-weight ratio is large, and the engine of the F22, the thrust-to-weight ratio can reach ten, and it can carry out supersonic cruise! In contrast, the only Russian engine that could be compared with him in the same period, the thrust-to-weight ratio did not reach eight.

The modification of the Spey engine has great potential, and when the TF41 is finalized, it can be further tapped on this basis, and in history, the British have further improvement programs.

At the same time, when the TF41 is stabilized, the next project can be started, imitating the engine on the F-16 fighter!

As for the construction of the Air Force, Mhammad has long had a long-term plan.

Deng Gong was deeply impressed by the visit to Xifei, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, who was traveling with him, also felt a lot. Because the Air Force wanted to use a two-seat layout of bombers, and finally gave up the J-7 project, without the investment of the Air Force, Xifei is still sticking to their own project, this kind of perseverance is admirable.

After the visit, after the discussion in the conference room, the group planned to leave, Chen Yijian, who wanted to speak and stopped, finally mustered up the courage, it is not easy for the chairman to come here once, and the thoughts in his heart can no longer be held!

"Report to the chairman, we fly west, and there is another project that we want to report to the chairman." Chen Yijian said.

And the project? Now flying west, the project of even J-7. It was all completely dependent on the Navy's meager funds, and if it weren't for overseas funds, the project would have stalled long ago. What else can they have for new projects?

"Chief Engineer Chen, Chairman Rili Wanji, your new project, first report to the Third Machinery Department." The minister of the Third Machine Department said.

"It's fine. You say. Deng Gong said.

"We have developed the J-7 project, which is a fighter-bomber, mainly to meet the needs of our army, but the last time we went to Pakistan for inspection, we saw a world-class fighter, and our project is still in the development stage, with various indicators. It is already lagging behind, so we have a bolder idea, reverse mapping the Tomcat fighter, and on the basis of the Tomcat fighter, we will develop a powerful fighter-bomber! Chen Yijian said.

The Tomcat fighter's variable sweep wing technology gives it both excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance and excellent ultra-low-altitude maneuverability. In addition to being able to be used for long-range quick volleys and close-range combat, it has an excellent body. Also needed for fighter-bombers.

If Xifei can completely map this fighter and develop the corresponding bombing model, the performance will definitely exceed that of the J-H by more than 70 times!

Mhammad was shocked, isn't this the project of his own upgrade of the Tomcat fighter and becoming the F-14D Super Tomcat? In addition to air combat, it has a powerful ground attack capability. The bombing of the nuclear reactors of the Indians relied on the capabilities of such heavy fighters.

The U.S. Air Force's F-15 fighter is the same, the modified F-15E has the same air combat capabilities as the F-15D, and at the same time has the ability to throw various ground attack weapons.

At this time. Almost all the fighters of the republic were born from Soviet fighters, whether it was the J-7, J-8, or the Qiang-6, there was a strong shadow of MiG fighters.

After the later generations of J-7 were successfully finalized and equipped with troops, they could be regarded as having a truly self-designed fighter, which was already the biggest progress.

If there are no other factors, then Xifei will continue to unswervingly design their first independent product, J-7, but, seeing the strong performance of the Tomcat fighter, Chen Yijian can no longer be calm, he knows that if a fighter-bomber is developed on the basis of the Tomcat fighter, what a powerful fighter it should be!

"How is this possible? With such a weak foundation as flying west, how could such a powerful fighter be imitated? If Shen Fei does not have a new J-8 modification project, he can hand it over to Shen Fei to do. The minister of the Third Machine Department said.

"We're not bad flying west! As long as the state agrees to our project, I can make a military order! In front of his Pakistani friends, he was talking about Xifei's weakness, and Chen Yijian also had self-esteem.

"This matter, let's consider it later, Xifei can be based on the existing conditions, introduce foreign capital, and successfully localize the Spey engine, which is already a lot of progress." Deng Gong said: "As long as Xifei is like this, step by step and down-to-earth, we will definitely be able to do a good job in our J-7 project." ”

Chen Yijian's eyes dimmed, it seems that this bold plan may not be realized.

Everyone walked out, and before leaving, Muhammad shook Chen Yijian's hand: "We are very interested in this project you proposed, maybe, we can cooperate in the future, I hope you can complete the TF41 project as much as possible, so that with the export engine of this project, you can also raise your own funds and do what you want." ”

Mahmad's words shocked Chen Yijian's heart and regained his confidence, yes, the most important thing in Xifei now is this engine project! As long as the engine is finalized, it can be exported to that country in the Middle East, in exchange for a large amount of foreign exchange, with funds, then Xifei no longer needs to keep begging for appropriations from superiors, and can be developed with its own funds!

The country's system has begun to reform, it is no longer a planned economy, and even various aircraft factories are looking for their own new projects to develop and strengthen themselves, and many of them have begun to march towards automobiles and household appliances.

As long as you have funds, you will have confidence!

Flying out of the west, Mhammad's heart was also shocked, these national defense science and technology workers, for the strength of the country, silently paying, they are the most respectable people! He saw that Pakistani scientific and technological personnel are also working seriously in it, when the development of this engine is completed, they are important technical personnel in Pakistan, and in the end, this engine will also be mass-produced in Pakistan, which is the original agreement.

Taking a special plane from Xi'an, the team rushed to Chengdu again.

The land of Bashu, surrounded by mountains, when the Anti-Japanese War was at its most severe, a large part of the country was lost, only Sichuan, still firmly in the hands of the Chinese, because the terrain here is too steep, and the surrounding mountains will collapse any attacking troops.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it also became a strategic reserve base, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, all established bases here.

Chengfei Company, located here, is a merger of the 611 Research Institute and the 132 Aircraft Factory, and is now a key aircraft company in China.

Several modifications of the J-7 appeared from here, and Shen Fei had a more important task, which was to develop and improve the J-8.

When the special plane landed on the runway of Chengfei, the main personnel, including Tu Jida, were already on the runway to greet them, and at this time, it was already afternoon.

In the morning, the chairman visited Xifei, and they had been notified in advance, and now, the chairman and Pakistani friends have come to visit Chengfei again, and Tujida knows that it must be President Mhammad's proposal, because Chengfei has the items that President Mhammad is most concerned about.

In Chengfei's large conference room, the two sides sat down, and when Mhammad's eyes fell on a model airplane in the middle of the conference table, Deputy Director Song Wencong skillfully took the model and covered it with a tablecloth.

Of course, this qiē can't hide from Muhammad's eyes, belly air intake, delta wing, isn't this the J-10 fighter of later generations?

Tu Jida coughed and said: "Welcome to the leaders to inspect, we are flying, mainly responsible for the improvement of the J-7 project, now, we want to change the aerodynamic layout of the J-7, so that the maneuverability of this fighter can be greatly improved." ”

"Mr. Tu, let's talk about our radar." "We are not interested in J-7. ”

Mhammad has always been so direct when he spoke, and Tu Jida said: "Regarding the radar, I think it is better to ask Engineer Bai to introduce it." ”

At this time, Bai Xue, who was wearing a military uniform, stood up, saluted everyone, and then turned on the slide projector.

"After we obtained the complete AWG-9 radar and APG-66 radar from Pakistan, we immediately carried out reverse mapping, and now, we have overcome the sidelobe elimination technology of the flat slot radar, as well as the various circuit modules, principles, these two radars have their own advantages, due to the large antenna size of the AWG-9 radar, so the detection range is farther, and the APG-66 radar appeared later, so, the signal processing capability is relatively powerful, and now, we are based on the continuous reverse mapping of these two radars, At the same time, we are designing our own radar, which is a pulse-Doppler radar using a flat slot antenna, which has perfect anti-air and ground capabilities, and can detect signals in complex echoes on the ground, and at the same time, it will also have a synthetic aperture mode, and we plan to build a prototype in the near future. Bai Xue said.

The domestic imitation means are first-class, in later generations, the radar used by the J-10 is after studying the APG-66 radar of the F-16, it took three years to imitate it, and now, Bai Xue, who has set up a military order, will be developed in two years, she did not immediately start copying, but first understand the technology in this radar.

Compared to the last time she was in Pakistan, Bai Xue's face was a little pale, her eyes were still red, and it seemed that she had been working day and night since she came back.

When there is pressure, there will be motivation. (To be continued......)
