"Cheng Fei was secretly developing such a high-performance radar? Why didn't you report it earlier? Wang Hai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, couldn't help but say: "Such a radar has been successfully developed, and it can be installed on Shen Fei's Jian-8-2 fighter!" ”

At present, the 14 institutes in Nanjing are responsible for supporting the development of radars for the Jian-8 2, and since all of them are starting from scratch, it is difficult to develop them, and the progress of the project is completely lagging behind.

Otherwise, no one in the Air Force will mention that Western avionics will be used to equip their own Jian-8 fighters first, so that Jian-8 can gain valuable medium-range combat capabilities.

"We have already reported to the Third Machinery Department, and the Third Machinery Department wants us to raise our own funds for development." Tu Jida said.

Self-funded again! In China, the radar was handed over to the 14 institutes for development, but unfortunately the progress of the 14 institutes was too backward, and at the same time, after Cheng Fei visited the Pakistan Air Force, he had the idea of self-development, and Bai Xue stubbornly brought up a group of research teams, including scientific researchers from Pakistan, to overcome various technical difficulties day and night.

This is not to map an aircraft skeleton, as long as the shape is determined, what function each circuit board has, how to solve it with its own existing technology, and most importantly, the radar program! How do you determine if an echo is clutter or a target? How to operate the air-to-ground mode requires the support of the program, and it is extremely difficult to decipher the program inside and disassemble the source code.

The problem of funding, which worries them the most, is not a problem, because another Middle Eastern country also needs this kind of radar, and as long as they tell them that they are developing it, they will provide some funds.

Chengfei and Pakistan jointly developed. A certain country in the Middle East contributed funds, but it still followed this model.

It is extremely difficult to develop a high-performance radar, and even the Soviet Union is having a headache for the flat slit radar on the Su-27, and finally declares it a failure. Turn around and re-engage yourself with the bulky upside-down lid.

The West carried out a technological blockade of the Soviet Union, but Chengfei gained an advantage, obtained two prototypes of radars, and various circuit components could also be imported from the West in the name of civilian use. Although the electronic components for civilian use have poor anti-interference capabilities, but now. They had to make sure they copied it before switching to their own ruggedized military electronic components.

Mhammad couldn't help but laugh in his heart, mounted on the J-8 2? I'm afraid that those guys from Shen Fei are embarrassed to use it, right? Is their skin really that thick? An improved J-8-2 occupies a large amount of the country's allocation for Air Force equipment, and as for performance...

"Well, that's good. We also look forward to the early entry of this self-developed radar into the practical stage. "This is of great significance for the development of our Air Force," Mhammad said. A fighter aircraft is mainly composed of three parts, the fuselage, avionics and engines, as long as we overcome the difficulties of avionics and engines, the fuselage. I think you should have a mature plan. ”

"Yes, that's right, what we're missing now is mainly avionics and engines, and these two projects have been completed. Our new project is ready to go into full swing. Another researcher said.

NEW PROJECT! When this sentence came out, all of a sudden, the minister of the Third Machine Department frowned, this kind of thing can't be said casually!

"Oh? We are flying, and there are new projects? Deng Gong asked.

"Chairman, this is a confidential project." The minister of the Third Machine Department said.

In front of the Pakistani delegation, it is very inappropriate to leak its most advanced fighter project, especially since the new project has not yet been shown to the chairman, in case the chairman takes a fancy to it, then Shen Fei's improved project, I am afraid that the funds will not be secured, after all, the country's financial resources are too limited.

"It's okay, in front of our friends in Pakistan, there is no secret of our military power." Deng Gong said magnificently: "As long as we have in our arsenal, we can sell it to our Pakistani brothers, but now, I'm afraid they don't look down on our air force equipment." ”

Deng Gong's words were self-deprecating, in the past, the Republic supported Pakistan with a lot of weapons, and now, the performance of Pakistan's equipment has far exceeded the models produced by the Republic, in the military exercises just carried out, Pakistan has taught the Republic's Air Force a vivid lesson, let them know what a modern Air Force is, and they still have hidden the models, in fact, they have fallen behind.

"Old Song, the chairman has said so, you can report to the chairman." Tu Jida said.

They have long wanted to report to their superiors, but they have never had the opportunity, seeing that Shen Fei is going to take most of the allocation, and the Air Force has been paying attention to Shen Fei's Jian-8 2 project, Cheng Fei's people are very anxious.

And the most anxious is the chief engineer in charge of the new model project, Song Wencong, at this time, he is already an old man in his fifties, in his lifetime, this will be the last model he is in command, and it is also the country's first third-generation aircraft model!

"Okay." He brought the model he had just taken back to the conference table.

"Chairman, this is our new model, codenamed Project 10, which is our advanced fighter program."

Deng Gong looked at this model carefully, unlike previous fighters, this aircraft seemed to have moved its tail to the front.

"This is called canard layout, also known as head-up layout, as long as we move the canard wings in front, it will generate positive lift, and the nose will immediately rise, so that we have a fast nose pointing ability, and we also get good fighting performance." Song Wencong said.

Regarding the canard layout, Cheng Fei has already carried out a lot of projects, and the eliminated Jian-9 uses this layout.

"At the same time, the canard wing also creates vortices with the main wing behind it, which maximizes the maneuverability of the aircraft." Song Wencong continued: "We use the belly air intake, the nose is free, can be equipped with high-performance radar, at the same time, the belly air intake, can also meet the needs of large angles of attack, our aircraft, designed maximum instantaneous circling angular speed of about 30 degrees per second, the maximum stable dìng circling angular speed of 16 degrees per second, the maximum climb rate of 305 meters per second. ”

When he said these words, Wang Hai, deputy commander of the Air Force on the side, immediately showed a surprised look, if this is the case, the maneuverability of this fighter is far stronger than Shen Fei's Jian-8!

The layman looked at the excitement, and the insider looked at the doorway, Wang Hai almost immediately made a decision: "Our Air Force just needs such a fighter!" ”

"The biggest disadvantage of the duck layout is that it is unstable, and this is also the biggest advantage, when we use telex operation to control the fighter, it is unstable and unstable, so that it has good maneuverability." Song Wencong continued, this is a good opportunity, the second commander of the Air Force has already made a decision, and the research and development funds of Chengfei will be settled!

Telex operation, Cheng Fei is no stranger, he has already converted a J-6 into a wire-controlled fighter before, and has accumulated a lot of experience.

"What engine are you going to use?" Mhammad asked.

In the previous life, Mhammad knew this fighter well, the same heart problem, the turbofan ten project, until 87 years before the project, moreover, more than ten years have passed, and it has not reached the installed level, even if it is a double-engine J-11, the Air Force also refuses to install turbofan ten, and this tenth machine project, thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union, uses the Russian AL-31 engine, can be regarded as continuing to fly.

Now, the Turbofan-6 project has just been terminated, and the design of this fighter has begun, but it is at the stage of no engine.

"We intend to use a modification of the TF41." Song Wencong said.

Under the impetus of Mhammad, the localization of Spey engine has been completed, the modified TF41 engine has begun to develop, the thrust is 17% higher than the prototype of Spey, although in terms of thrust, it is just more than 10 tons, but it still has the potential to further increase, Rolls-Royce company's plan, there is an 11.5-ton thrust model, as long as it is improved, it must be enough to push the qualifications, can drive the take-off of the 10th machine.

Chengfei and Xifei have a close relationship, and they have been paying attention to Spey Engine, just to get a qualified engine for their own projects.

One engine is set for two types, and the TF41 engine will also become a national key model.

"If you allow it, our Pakistani researchers can join in the development of your fighter." "We have approached the Swedish company Saab to participate in the development of their fighter jets, and we have provided some of the funding," Mhammad said. ”

Saab in Sweden! Of course, Cheng Fei knows that this fighter is similar to Cheng Fei's J-10 project, using a canard layout, which is the Swede's forte.

If Pakistanis participate in this project in Sweden, a lot of experience can be brought to Cheng Fei, which can save Cheng Fei a lot of detours, which is definitely worth it!

Mhammad returned home halfway through, and the delegation was still in Europe, and according to his arrangement, he continued to talk about various projects in Europe, and now it happened to be in Sweden.

When Pakistan was willing to provide funds, but wanted to intervene in the development process, the Swedes agreed, and at this time Pakistan was considered a quasi-Western ally, and Europe was also popular at this time for multinational joint development.

Pakistan has no other requirements than joint development, and for Pakistan, this is a good opportunity for their own researchers to advance.

"Your Air Force is experiencing a battle with the Soviet Air Force, you have the most experience, and your experience in air combat is also more in place, if you can intervene in the development of our fighter, it will provide more valuable construction." Wang Hai was the first to express his position. (To be continued......)
