The question of whether or not to allow Iraq to participate in the No. 10 project has caused a debate at the top of the military, and Xiao Dangsheng returned to China to participate in this discussion because he is familiar with the situation in Iraq. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo{{}}

The opinion of the positive side is very clear: Cheng Fei's fighter is an indicator put forward by the military, a military aircraft that can adapt to future wars and is completely independently developed, and this is the highest secret of the army, and it is a very secret project, which cannot be involved by the outside world.

The opposing side, mainly aircraft design institutions, emphasized that although the state is now very concerned about this project, the country's investment is still too small, and if this advanced fighter needs to be ahead in all aspects, the lack of research and development funds will undoubtedly delay the development progress of the fighter.

And now, the injection of foreign capital is a very powerful booster. Iraq is a good partner, and other projects need not to be mentioned, namely the turbofan VI, which had to end the development of the model due to lack of funds, and has now successfully achieved finalization and has become the first alternative engine for the new machine. In this sense, Iraq has been involved in the development of Project 10.

As for the secrecy mentioned by the military, it is only meaningful for countries with lower technology than themselves, and the Soviet Union has always exported castrated versions of military products to the outside world, and that is because the technology level of the exporting countries is lower. And now Iraq, the two main fighters equipped in China, Xingneng is no longer under the fighters developed by its own side, so what is there to keep secret?

What is there in the Air Force now that is capable of taking out its hands? Now all military aircraft production plants on the mainland. What kind of aircraft is Iraq's eye? No.

Shen Fei's J-8 2, this is the best fighter that the Air Force can come up with now. It's a pity that such fighters. Iraq doesn't look down on it at all, and invests a lot of money in various projects in Iraq, such as Yun 10, Turbofan 6, etc., but it doesn't invest any funds in Shen Fei, but. Shen Fei has full funding from the state, and he does not look down on other aircraft factories. Now, the state has decided to invest 550 million. Conducted a Peace Model project with the United States to help modify the avionics of 50 J-82 fighters.

The rest is the Jian-7, this kind of fighter, Iraq has invested, but it was converted into a super seven, and then sold to Pakistan. {{}}

It is now the No. 10 project in China, a project that involves countless efforts, even if it is successfully developed. It is not up to the level of the current Mirage 4000 in Iraq, and what reason does Iraq have to participate in such a project? Ship ten, that's Iraq needs big planes. Super Seven, that is Iraq wants to jointly develop and export to the third world. Project 10? Iraq already has a Mirage 4000 and an F-20, and these two fighters are high and low. That's enough.

Therefore, even if Cheng Fei invites him now, Iraq does not necessarily inject funds, and the so-called international friendship is just a naïve idea, and interests are the most important thing.

Cheng Fei hopes that Iraq will inject funds, that is, they hope that this fighter can be successfully developed as soon as possible and equip the troops, which is the most important thing, with Iraq's capital injection, the Jian-H-7 project is carried out so quickly, beyond their imagination, they hope that their own model development can also be accelerated, and the country's investment is far from enough. {{}}

With sufficient funds, we will be able to speed up the progress of research and development, otherwise, ten years later, when their fighter is successfully developed, the fighters of all countries in the world have reached a new height, and perhaps, new models have already appeared. The gap between them and the world's advanced level will widen and widen.

In particular, Iraq's existing Mirage 4000 is very similar to the aerodynamic layout of their Project 10, and if Iraq can be persuaded to agree to a systematic survey of their Mirage 4000, it will have a great effect on promoting the self-developed fighter.

Up to now, the design of Chengfei has not been able to get rid of the shadow of the Soviet Union, and the existence of the MiG-21 can be seen more or less on all domestic military aircraft.

The same canard pneumatic layout and four-degree redundant telex will benefit Chengfei Company a lot, which is incomparable even if funds are invested.

As for Iraq, it also needs to have sufficient interests in order to be able to invest a huge amount of money in the development of this fighter, and Chief Engineer Song predicts that Iraq will need at least $1 billion in research and development funds, which is a huge amount of money. {{}}

Is Iraq interested in participating in such a project? This coincides with their existing projects.

Therefore, after the meeting, although no final agreement was reached, some progress was made. Xiao Dangsheng received an order to test Iraqi President Qusay's attitude towards such a project.

So, seeing that the timing was right, Xiao Dangsheng finally began to raise this issue with Qusay, which was also the first time that the two sides negotiated on Project 10.

As soon as Kusai heard this, he naturally knew that the project of the medium-sized fighter that flew into the flight was naturally the No. 10 project, and this project, if it was really tracked, could be carried out to the stillborn Jian-9 project, and this project at that time had already adopted a canard aerodynamic layout. The eastern powers have studied the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft more thoroughly, have the largest wind tunnel in Asia, and have a very good ability to control various layouts. {{}}

In later generations, there have been scheming people who have been advocating the relationship between this plane and the lion, but as long as you have enough knowledge, you know that it has nothing to do with the lion.

When the J-10 appeared in the public eye, Western countries began to trumpet that after the Lion fighter project was stopped under pressure from the United States, all the technology was exported to China, and the Chinese developed the J-10 on this basis.

The reason why this statement is very marketable is because both the J-10 and the Lion adopt a canard layout and belly air intake in appearance.

However, these two are completely different, the Lion uses a close-range coupled canard, while the J-10 uses a medium-range coupled canard, which is the most important difference, (that is, the distance between the canard and the main wing is different, the Typhoon is long-coupling, and the distance is the farthest.) This difference will lead to a completely different flight control design. Another important difference is that the Lion uses a fixed pitot tube intake similar to the F-16, while the J-10 uses a binary adjustable air intake; The lion air intake is semicircular, and the J-10 air intake is rectangular; The nose of the Lion is similar to the oval shape of the F-16, and the nose of the J-10 is round. The Lion copied the nose of the F-16, this fixed air intake, it is impossible to compress the air to the optimum, the main task of the Lion fighter is bombing, and the J-10 is air supremacy.

Project No. 10 is a fighter independently developed by Duli, Chengfei's research institute. Although the most important aircraft design institute is still Shen Fei, Shen Fei is currently working hard to develop the J-8 2 project, so the No. 10 project was assigned to Cheng Fei, and this project was approved last year.

This project, which supports the 21st century sky of the eastern powers, has undergone different changes because of the crossing of Qusay, and now, Cheng Fei invites Iraq to join?

In later generations, the development of this fighter was slow, and it did not make its first flight until 98, and it was equipped with troops in 04, because the development of this fighter was completely and almost from scratch. Static unstable design, four-degree fly-by-wire flight control, advanced avionics, and high-thrust engines, these projects have made Chengfei go through hardships, the most difficult of which is the engine, actually had to experience the embarrassing situation of engine and fighter development together, in the West, are in the engine development breakthrough or even success, the design of the aircraft, if the engine design fails, this kind of aircraft will be aborted. At this time, the introduction of the Su-27 project gave Chengfei an alternative plan, and the AL-31F engine was used first, which alleviated the unfavorable situation of slow development of turbofan 10.

And when the Jian-10 was successfully finalized and equipped with troops, it was time to look at the fourth-generation combat of the United States, the F-22, which had already begun to enter service, and the gap between the fighters of the eastern powers and the United States was another generation. In the face of this stealth fighter capable of supersonic cruise, a new crisis enveloped scientific researchers, and after more than ten years of hard work, J-20, this fighter commonly known as the Black Ribbon, has entered the serious ranks of military fans, and finally caught up with the world's cháo stream.

Now, when the J-10 has just begun to be developed, what it means to participate in such a project makes Qusay very clear.

The Jian-H-7 project has enabled Iraq to form a complete design team, and the No. 10 project will allow Iraqi designers to complete the whole process of the world's advanced fighter research and development and climb Mount Everest, the world's technology in military aircraft development! The J-7 is a fighter-bomber with only limited self-defense capabilities, while the No. 10 project is designed to completely aim at seizing air supremacy.

Although Iraq is now very lively, there are F-20 and Mirage 4000, these two kinds of fighters that can be produced by themselves, making Iraq seem to have become an aviation power, but they are just production, and how these aircraft are designed, Iraqi engineers do not know. When 20 years later, these fighters are outdated, Iraq will return to the dot again, and the introduction of production lines alone can only lead to the introduction of advanced processing means and equipment, and the training of industrial workers, but this cannot be advanced national defense, Iraq must have its own research and development capabilities.

Even this reason alone is enough for Cusai to agree to this kind of cooperation, not to mention, Cusai has deeper considerations. (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
