At this defense exhibition, the J-10 Super Raptor piloted by the Bayi performance team can be described as a big show, which is also the first official public appearance of the J-10, and it is also interpreted by the outside world as a show of muscles for the Chinese Air Force. However, they didn't know that the J-10B, the main equipment of the Chinese Air Force, was not present at all, and the fighter used by the Bayi performance team was still the J-10A, which will become the main plane of the Air Force and the reserve force in the next stage.

The Bayi performance team not only flew some traditional performance projects, but also demonstrated the super maneuverability of the vector thrust J-10 in front of the world for the first time. The base version of the J-10 Super Raptor was not equipped with a vector engine from the beginning, and it was only the later version of the J-10A and all J-10Bs that were equipped with this kind of thing that increased the maneuverability of the fighter. The J-10A equipped by the Bayi performance team is actually a specially built performance aircraft for it, with higher technical requirements and safety requirements, so as to be pleasing to the eye during flight performances.

Including the Cobra flown out of Pugachev at the Paris Air Show in June last year, as well as a series of super-maneuverable maneuvers such as the Frolov Fa' wheel, which were presented to the audience by the pilots of the J-10, which was fascinating. At the end of the day, the performance plane still went straight to the zenith, and after a flip, it began to fall in a loop in the air like a fallen leaf, which made the audience shout incredible.

The J-10 with its good handling, super weapon loading capacity, and excellent close-range combat ability, let the outside world also understand why the Chinese Air Force does not want to sell this aircraft to other countries, if the J-10 is another country's own aircraft, it is estimated that it will not be sent to the arms market.

However, some people who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour have also begun to question that this kind of super-maneuvering, which can basically only fly at speeds below 400km/h, has no meaning in actual combat. This argument and the debate it gave rise to would continue for years until the actual war began, when the usefulness of this mode of maneuver was confirmed.

Conventional maneuvering is aerodynamic maneuvering, that is, when the aircraft has a certain speed, additional lift is generated due to the change of the angle of attack, forming a centripetal force, which makes the aircraft produce a curved motion. Vector thrust is essentially aerodynamic, but it is different from the centripetal force of conventional maneuvering, which is a direct force that achieves the purpose of changing the trajectory by directly changing the nose direction. As a result, supermaneuvering is faster and more direct. Taking the pitch trajectory change as an example, the vector nozzle deviates downward, causing the aircraft to form a downward pitch motion around the center of gravity, and the nose pointing directly changes. It is precisely because of this characteristic of the vector nozzle that at small speeds or even zero speeds, the aircraft can do almost radius-free nose pointing movements.

This more flexible nose pointing gives the fighter a larger attack range and more attack angles, which can also achieve omnidirectional attacks. However, it is true that as the doubts say, this kind of super-maneuverability can not be used at medium and high speeds, and in the case of large speeds, the angle of attack and sideslip of the aircraft will change sharply, which will cause a significant increase in lift and side forces, resulting in a huge force effect on the body and the human body, resulting in damage to the body and even the death of the pilot.

However, even if it can only be used at low speeds, before entering the fight, the super-maneuverable fighter can grasp the fleeting fighter in advance, relying on its more agile nose pointing to attack the enemy first, if it still uses a combat missile with over-the-shoulder attack capability such as the AIM-9X or PL-10, then the survival rate of the enemy aircraft will be surprisingly low.

In the afternoon, other fighters participated in the air show, especially the stunning appearance of Dassault's flagship product Mirage 4000 opened everyone's eyes, and Dassault also unashamedly played the title of the strongest fighter on the planet, hoping to take this opportunity to get more orders.

To date, the French Air Force has procured only 40 Mirage 4000s, which is not even as large as the 60 procured by the Nanyang Republic. Instead, the French Ministry of Defense and the Air Force asked Dassault to continue to push forward with the Rafale plan, and it is clear that the future sales of the Mirage 4000 have been tested. Originally, the most likely local tyrant Saudi Arabia has also become a user of Chinese military aircraft, with 160 FC-9 fighters, 100 FBC-1B fighters, and 200 FC-1 fighters, and it is basically impossible to buy anything new.

The UAE also has some thoughts of buying new fighters, but they do not purchase large quantities and are more optimistic about the smaller Mirage 2000-5 fighters. That is, he suffered a big loss in the Iran-Iraq war, and he was bent on obtaining Saddam Hussein, who could suppress the Iranian dragon, and planned to buy this kind of fighter plane that stabilized the dragon, and sat in the Iraqi Air Force.

Towards the end of the evening, the characters of the finale of the day's air show appeared.

"What's that?" As soon as Pelehaq saw this plane, he couldn't help but exclaim, because this plane looked so different from ordinary fighters, with some matte black paint in the sunset, the nose appeared angular, the integrated cockpit that did not obstruct the view, and the extremely experimental forward-swept wings and angled tail hanging. It has excellent wing-body fusion, with two air intakes that fit snugly into the fuselage and are compatible with the side strips, and a pair of very peculiar canards that, when retracted, connect to the root of the main wing.

Small had already judged in advance: "This is a stealth fighter!" ”

Of course, Pelehaq reacted and said, "Is it the same thing as our ATF plan (Advanced-Tactical-Fighter)?" ”

Small's gaze did not leave the cold and handsome black fighter for a minute, and said in his mouth: "It's a different route, it actually uses a forward-swept wing like the X-29, considering the mature application of the Chinese's vector propulsion technology, this fighter must also use the same arrow propulsion engine as the previous J-10." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following is China's latest generation of technical verification fighter J-11 Black Hawk fighter, developed and manufactured by China Shenghua Aviation Manufacturing Company, the fighter has some advanced combat attributes, we call it 5S attributes, namely low detectability (Stealth), supersonic cruise (Supersonic-Cruise), super-maneuverability (Super-Maneuverability), over-the-horizon combat (Super-BVR), Situation-Awareness.

The fighter has the characteristics of low detectability of radar waves, and when performing a mission, it will unknowingly enter the enemy's hinterland to deliver a fatal blow. As a high-speed fighter, it is capable of carrying more than Mach 1. The supersonic cruise of 5 can appear on the battlefield more quickly. It also has incredible maneuverability, with forward-swept wings giving it unrivalled agility in subsonic conditions in close-range dogfights. Similarly, the advanced and powerful on-board electronics make this fighter have a radar detection range far beyond that of ordinary fighters, and its unique battlefield situational awareness system makes it always have the upper hand in battle. The host in the venue introduced the J-11 fighter to the audience.

Pelehak frowned and said: "Is it really possible to achieve these things, not that I doubt the Chinese, if these indicators can really be achieved all, there is no doubt that this fighter is the most powerful fighter in the world today." ”

Small said: "I think there is still some distance to achieve all of them, after all, this is still a technical verification machine, I am afraid that it is still far from the final production version, but the Chinese have accumulated some similar experience, their J-10 has vector engine technology, and the Qiang-7 has also verified the technology of stealth performance, if you want to achieve 1." For supersonic cruising above Mach 5, then their engines also need at least a completely new generation, with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 10 and a thrust of more than 150 kN. We don't have any information on whether China already has such a technology, but if the investment is sufficient, I think that with China's current level, it should not be a pipe dream to complete such a fighter. ”

Pelehaq sighed: "I can't accept this thing a little, our ATF plan is still in the bidding stage, and the Chinese have built a prototype and showed it off at the defense exhibition." ”

Small's Northrop was involved in the ATF's planning, and he himself was familiar with the progress of the project, while Pelehark's Grumman Company did not put much thought into the ATF because it was mainly focused on working with Hongdu on the A-11/J-7 project.

"Although we are a little slower, but I believe that in the end we will not fall too far behind, and by this summer at the latest, the first prototype of the YF-23 designed by us and McDonnell Douglas will be able to leave the factory, and if it goes well, it is difficult to say who will enter service earlier than the Chinese J-11!"

Pelehaq couldn't help but tease: "But you have to beat Lockheed and Boeing's YF-22 first!" ”

Small said proudly: "We are very confident in this! ”

In the process of chatting between the two, the J-11 "verification aircraft" that attracted thousands of eyeballs smoothly rose into the sky, and its vigorous and unique appearance was like a maverick eagle, stretching its posture in the sky, whistling by, which was refreshing.

Qi Yiming himself was also in this venue, and a different kind of sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although the Black Hawk in the sky looks very similar to the Black Hawk equipped by the Air Force, it is not a real production version of the Black Hawk fighter, and he used a lot of tricks to fool people, and the idea is to hope that the United States, which is also studying stealth fighters, will make the mistake skill tree.

This "demonstration aircraft" in the air did not adopt the best forward-swept wing configuration, but used a high-strength composite wing such as a real Black Hawk fighter, such a poor aerodynamic shape, can not improve the problem of wingtip tremor, if into a really difficult action, there is still a danger of wing blockage. The other is the strange canard wing, which looks close to the main wing as if to increase stealth, but is actually foolish. There is also an engine nozzle that uses a pitch binary vector engine, which is a bit redundant, because the F-22 itself uses this technique. There are so many bits and pieces that they are used to mislead people, and Qi Yiming is eager to ask the United States to verify the techniques used in every "verification machine". It must be very helpful to make a mess of the ATF meter.
