Chapter 683: A New Research Institute
For the engine test not to mention for the time being, the next day Li Zhao brought the overall design drawings of the aircraft over, the progress of the design drawings of the aircraft is actually relatively large, after all, Li Zhao is not ready to make it very advanced, now Li Zhao just wants to complete some relatively simple actions, such as what fallen leaves and the like, that is unimaginable, but even so, it is a very powerful aircraft, after all, the power is strong.
The index set by the engine designed by Li Zhao is still relatively high, if it can really reach the index, then the power of the aircraft is absolutely no problem, the first is the thrust, Li Zhao finally set the normal thrust is 13000 N, and the afterburner thrust is set at 16000 N, this index is already very high, but I don't know if it can be achieved in the end, although the factory has a good foundation, but Li Zhao still has no bottom in his heart.
And the aircraft itself, with such a large thrust, as long as the engine life is okay, then in a short period of time, this aircraft is beyond the reach of many aircraft. The first is the flight speed, although Li Zhao's is Mach 2.2, but as long as the strength of the body is enough, then Mach 2.5 is not possible? Of course, if you want to fly so fast, you must deal with related aspects, such as changing the stainless steel shell.
Of course, this is a joke, but there is such a strong motivation, many times there can be a lot of unexpected effects, but this needs to be tested at that time, after all, Li Zhao has only engaged in drones, this is the first time to engage in this kind of aircraft, although there are six masters as a reference, and recently the drawings of the meter twenty-one have also been sent, but the difficulties in this are also obvious to all, how advanced you want to be, and the difficulty is also imaginable.
In particular, Li Zhao wants to achieve the first flight at the end of next year to the beginning of the next year, so a lot of performance has to be compromised, which is also the reason why Li Zhao is only ready to achieve a relatively simple operation in the first step, but even so, the final finalization time is not what Li Zhao can predict, maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe maybe.
But even so, this aircraft has a lot of merits, first of all, the power is strong enough, many times with enough power, then a lot of impossible maneuvers can be achieved. The second is that there is a lot of room for improvement, there is enough power, and it is a classic aerodynamic layout, so if you want to upgrade and improve, then there are infinite possibilities. Finally, in terms of materials, the advantages of the factory are too great.
Li Zhao is now considering whether to use carbon fiber, yes, it is nano carbon fiber, Li Zhao just established the research institute on the project, after more than two years of research, there is still a little achievement, more dare not say, the production of aircraft can still be used a little, this will greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft, at the same time can also reduce the reflection area of the radar, Li Zhao already wants to use a part, of course, it also depends on the final design.
Because Li Zhao has begun a lot of preparations when he established the research institute, so now many aspects can be applied to the aircraft, and now Li Zhao's main completed design is the structure of the aircraft itself, machinery and aerodynamic layout, etc., the content that needs to be distributed is mainly airborne instruments and weapon systems, of course, there is also an electronic part, but now the electronic part has meters 21 as a reference, Li Zhao originally planned to study this piece next year.
Brought the drawings to Su's father's office, Li Zhao handed over the drawings to Su's father, and asked him to take a look at them first, Li Zhao was also explaining from time to time on the side, and soon Su's father knew the progress of Li Zhao's drawings, and said: "Then set up various sub-project research teams now, but the weapon system is estimated to be no way for the time being, we have no missile-related research, at most we can install a cannon, and the cannon obviously has a mature plan."
Li Zhao nodded and said: "Then let's find a meeting with the relevant research institutes, first set up the project team, I estimate that the radar research team is still very confused, I don't know why to use it, now they have designed several radars, and they have also tested a lot, but they are all useless, the future aircraft will definitely develop over-the-horizon strike capabilities, and there is no advanced fire control radar at all."
Father Su said at this time: "Let's talk about it then, first assign the task to see how far we can achieve next year, after all, none of these studies are simple, after all, the indicators are set very high."
Yes, the current research is still for Li Zhao's requirements
There is a very big gap, such as the on-board electronic system, which is also very backward, in fact, starting from the third generation aircraft, many flight actions need the assistance of the on-board computer to complete, especially to the fourth generation aircraft, it is even more obvious, why can I hardly hear the news of the F 15 later, the reason is here, it came out too early, and the electronic system is too backward.
Soon the relevant research institutes and related research personnel gathered, Su Father first said: "I came to you today, mainly about the research of the aircraft project, the next content is to be kept strictly confidential, I hope you can pay attention, now I will tell you a news, that is, the aircraft engine has entered the test stage, the design thrust is 13000 N for a single engine, you should understand what this means?"
Sure enough, as soon as this data came out, everyone in the conference room began to discuss, although they didn't know much about the plane, they still knew the general situation of the plane now, and this thrust was too high.
Father Su interrupted everyone's discussion at this time and continued: "Yesterday just completed the ignition test, and now Li Zhao has also started the overall design of the aircraft, so today's meeting is to issue the supporting development tasks of each part of the aircraft, and after you go back, you can set up a research team to start researching, but this project needs to be strictly kept secret, and we will also set up a new research institute, that is, the Aircraft Research Institute."
Yes, these people will also directly change their place of work in the future, and they will go directly to work in the aircraft factory, and now the level of secrecy in the institute is still not enough, and there is no problem with a small number of related project research in the past, after all, the factory has been keeping secrets from the outside world, and only the civilian content has been reported to the outside world, so the research content in the factory is not clear to the outside world at all.
After all, the factories of this era are still relatively professional, can you imagine a factory that is very good at agriculture, and will develop aircraft? In addition to steel-related industries, it can be said that the industries reported by the factory are all civilian, which is still very confusing, after all, who would have thought that there was a person like Li Zhao? In just three years, more things have been made than others have done in 30 years.
However, now that the aircraft has entered the overall design research stage, it will not work in the research institute, after all, there are many people in each research institute, and there are many people, who knows if it will leak out, so it is very necessary to establish a new research institute, and because the content involved is very sensitive, it must also be separated from other research.
At this time, everyone agreed, and Father Su continued: "Let Li Zhao talk about the specific situation of aircraft design, you should also understand the confidential nature of the establishment of this research institute this time, so you must be very cautious about the personnel arrangement and the next confidential work, and the place of work will also change, you will all join this research institute, although you all have other projects, but you must understand the importance of new projects."
At this time, everyone also became serious, they all understood what they were studying now, although Li Zhao had mentioned it before, they had all thought about it, and they didn't start researching it, but they all knew the importance of things.
Li Zhao saw that after Su's father finished speaking, he walked to the small blackboard and began to explain the performance, and at the same time began to introduce in detail the functions required by each system, as well as the requirements for the functions, just like the radar system, Li Zhao's requirements are very high, which is also a normal situation, after all, it is intended for the third-generation aircraft, the kind of radar used for the second-generation aircraft, it is not possible at all, the detection distance is too close, and the farthest is only thirty or forty kilometers.
When Li Zhao said that the detection range of airborne radar must reach more than 100 kilometers, to be honest, Li Zhao felt that the vision of the radar research team could already kill him, and the span was too big. Although they have been studying for two years and have sufficient research funds, the foundation is too poor, you must know that there is no radar on an aircraft like the Sixth Master, and the first Sixth Master equipped with radar is ten years later.
The seventh master will make its first flight two years later, and the early seventh master, the radar is also stretched to the extreme, and it can only detect more than ten kilometers in the early days. To tell the truth, if Li Zhao didn't have the demand for airborne radar research, it is estimated that the relevant research on airborne radar has not started now, and Li Zhao's current request is to detect 100 kilometers, which is really a bit embarrassing, but set a goal first, and then look at the results when the time comes, it is really not possible
There is no way.
And sometimes people have to force it, otherwise it is difficult to know how great the potential will be, just like Li Zhao, now under the pressure of time, he has to complete a series of studies as soon as possible, he has come up with a lot of things in the past few years, if there is no Li Zhao, it is estimated that it is really enough for all the research institutes in the factory for 30 years.
