0711 Understanding the Gap
On the third day of the exposure of the 'Nanyuan Tomcat', Arcie and more than 30 spirit slaves flew to the imperial capital in the name of the secret aircrew of 'Grumman'.
The Grey Slaves turned into Western ground crews, half male and half female, and were responsible for assembling the three 'Tomcats'. Arcie hasn't changed her appearance, she is a tall female pilot who is two meters tall and heroic. It was also her first public appearance.
Zhou Qingfeng is indeed willing to spend 500 million or even more dollars to establish a joint venture aircraft factory, although he will definitely go to Da Mao Ermao's house to poach people, but cultivating his own aerospace manufacturing industry is also the direction of 'Shengguang''.
Being able to use the existing domestic scientific research and manufacturing system will naturally save time and effort, and it is better than building a car behind closed doors.
After confirming this news, it can be regarded as causing a lot of sensation and quarrel in the domestic aviation industry. In the past two years, the way of doing things in the past two years is said to be investing, and there is a lot of real money.
All collaborators make a lot of money.
After the Gulf War, appropriations from the domestic military industry began to pick up. But it is precisely because of the awareness of the gap that researchers feel the pain of backward technology and lack of funds.
In the early 90s, an important military industrial enterprise like Chengfei actually had only a few dozen computers for daily work, and the conditions were too simple.
It's a desperate gap, as if it will never be shortened. Many people simply went to the West, because it is better to wash dishes in the United States than to be a professor in China.
Because of this, Hongdu Factory is desperate to win the project of 'Holy Light', and it is impossible for Cheng Fei to throw away the meat that was sent to his mouth.
Within two days, all the major aircraft factories heard the news, and a bunch of factory leaders hurriedly went to the imperial capital to grab meat to eat. Even Shi Fei, who makes pesticide machines, is no exception. After all, no one wants to build a pesticide machine all the time.
For the quarrels of various units, Zhou Qingfeng did not participate. He only needs the qualification to set up a factory, as well as the right to sell products freely internally and externally in the future.
Ministries and commissions have no opinion on this, just like K-8 and Thunder, which are projects that are carried out by each unit to raise funds on its own.
If the product performance is good, it is often 'flowering inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall', and domestic needs can also be considered for procurement.
However, after the arrival of Alsie's air crew, the ministry and the military attached great importance to it. Each manufacturing unit also sent people to learn and see how the 'Tomcat' was assembled and tested on site.
Zhou Qingfeng also took out a full set of 'Tomcat' maintenance materials obtained from Isfahan, divided into categories, and filled several cabinets. Everything he made public and allowed copying.
Eagle sauce is unique in the aviation manufacturing industry. When designing the 'Flying Leopard', Xifei obtained a full set of military design specifications from the German company MBB.
According to the words of Chief Master Chen of Xifei at that time, it was called 'Daigo Empowerment'. In contrast, the Soviet-style design specifications are too rudimentary to be compared.
There are specifications for design, manufacturing, and maintenance. With these specifications, not only do you save money and trouble, but you also guarantee quality.
The assembly of the first 'Tomcat' took a week, and Zhou Qingfeng allowed domestic personnel to sit by. When the second aircraft was assembled, he asked domestic technicians to join in. The third one simply let the domestic personnel do it themselves.
The first Tomcat had no problems with the ground test, but the second had some minor problems. The third one simply couldn't be moved, it had to be disassembled and reassembled, and some parts were broken.
It's just that everyone has benefited a lot, and lamented that Eagle Sauce's professional maintenance tools and detailed manuals are very valuable for promotion, and can even be pushed backwards to the design concept.
Zhou Qingfeng secretly repaired the parts, and asked each unit to continue to send people to learn how to repair American-style equipment. But the ministry disagreed, demanding that the number of people who knew about it be controlled and that it could not spread unchecked.
After all, this is a secret collaboration of the Grumman Company.
After a simple ground run, the assembled first Tomcat was asked to be sent to the test flight institute in Yanliang, Xi'an, for testing.
Originally, it was to be sealed with plastic sheeting and towed from the surface road by trailer. "Why walk from the ground? I can fly over. ”
For this blonde, blue-eyed, extremely beautiful 'Western pilot', the domestic side is extremely curious and shocked. There was someone who arranged the food and lodging for her and the spirit slave, and at the same time stared at her, asking all kinds of questions around the corner.
Although they didn't need room and board, Arcy and the Lingnu had to pretend to be normal. The spirit slave can not talk much, and the magic queen must communicate with the domestic pilots and try to teach a group of qualified 'Tomcat' pilots.
It's not difficult, and 'brainstorming' can speed up the process a lot.
As for Arcie's proposal to fly directly to Yanliang, China reluctantly agreed after thinking about it for a long time - it must be accompanied by two Jian-7s, accept ground command, and land at the specified airport.
At the time of takeoff, Arcie played a trick of 'Tomcat', taking off short distances - without any external assistance, the F-14A spread its wings and flew with only more than 400 meters of runway.
In comparison, the J-7 series, which is fully loaded with less than half the weight of the Tomcat, has a 500-meter runway.
When the TF-30 engine roared and Alcie pulled the nose of the plane, a group of people observing from the ground let out an exclamation - does a carrier-based aircraft need the ability to take off short?
Waiting for the two J-7s to catch up, Arcie began to play again. She deliberately provoked on the radio: "Hey, you two rookies, do you want to come and play an air combat fight?" ”
The J-7 pilot naturally refused.
However, it is rare for Alsie to fly in the sky, relying on the performance advantage of the 'Tomcat' crushing, she circled around the two J-7s, biting her tail at every turn, and locking on the target with fire control radar.
The fire control radar lock can be described as an undisguised mockery, and even a soldier can't stand it. So in the eyes of the ground radar air intelligence personnel, it was the three planes in the sky that suddenly began to circle and fight, biting each other's tails.
Arsie can be heard shouting unbridled in the public communication channel.
"Hey, are you still feeding? The reaction was too slow. ”
"I bite my tail, I bite my tail, I bite my tail again."
"You're a light machine with an empty weight of only six tons, why are you so bad at maneuverability?"
"Is the sound of the radar warning machine good? I don't have a sense of accomplishment when I win, when will you be able to lock me in once? ”
There are two top domestic pilots who come to perform the accompanying mission, but the J-7 they fly is like a rookie in front of Arcie.
Because it has to take off and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier, the 'Tomcat' with its wings spread has excellent low-speed handling, and the 'one-on-two' aerial combat is also like abuse.
The Jian-7 pilots tried their best to bite the 'Tomcat', but as long as there was a slight chance of success...... 'Tomcat''s wings swept back, and they would go far away with a little afterburner, and they would not be given the slightest chance.
As for the escape, the Jian-7's broken radar caliber is small, and the performance is poor, and it can't catch the 'Tomcat', and it doesn't have a chance at all.
Alsie even made the two top pilots experience the pain of being found locked up from a hundred kilometers away. If it's really a real combat state, they don't even know how to die.
After the air battle in the Persian Gulf, China also studied how to deal with the 'Tomcat' with long-range ammunition, came up with a lot of 'J-8 guns pick F-22' tactics, and even published a number of internal articles.
Now, under this almost actual combat exercise, the imaginary tactics have been proven to be all bullshit.
Even if the two J-7s are guided by ground radar, they are not the opponents of the 'Tomcat' at all - the third-generation aircraft fighting the second-generation aircraft is as simple as playing.
In front of the screen of the ground radar station, whether it is people from ministries and commissions, people from the military, or aircraft research and development units, everyone is silent and frustrated.
And the three planes flew around the sky and did not go anywhere. Not long after, the two J-7s ran out of fuel and had to fly back to land. And what about Arsie......
"Hey...... Where do you go? Running out of gas? How long has it been flying? You're not really running out of gas, are you? You're really short-legged! You should be nicknamed the Defenders of the Airport Wall. ”
Chief Tu whispered in the crowd: "Alas......, the gap is too big, if only we could copy this fighter." ”
(Any idea what I'm asking for?) )
