Yang Bonghata didn't respond immediately, but just held the side face with one hand and fell into thought.

This concern is certainly justified.

At most, only two points of the J-8-3 are to find potential foreign customers, and the remaining eight points are to fight for the Chinese people.

But if it is put together with the flight performance of the Su-27, then the effect is ......

He looked at Liu Ming, the deputy chief designer sitting on either side of him, and Chang Haonan-

With the increasing role of the 83 Project, the seat of the latter in the conference has also increased, from the beginning can only shrink in the corner of the conference room with Lin Shikuan, to be able to be assigned to a position at the edge of the conference table, and now it has been able to sit at the front stably.

Although he may not continue to stay in the 83 project team for a long time, this feeling is ......

It's still cool!

After all, in a previous life, let alone sitting in such a position, even if you occasionally attended a meeting, at most you were just attending.

Not even attendance.

"I think it's self-defeating."

Seeing Yang Fenghat's posture, Chang Haonan felt that it was almost time for him to speak:

"Xiangzhou Air Show, not only Xiangzhou, but also our entire Huaxia business, this year is the first time, it is the most important time to earn reputation."

"On the one hand, the arrangement of the flight show has been basically determined, and if it is changed temporarily, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the exhibitor."

"On the other hand, even if we put the two Flankers on the second day, it doesn't seem like it will have a direct impact on us, but it won't make a difference to those who follow the air show."

"As a late-developing country, we can't get a plane that surpasses the Su-27 for the time being, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"In the face of competitors, we are afraid to make off-market moves, but it seems that we are deceiving ourselves and not confident enough."

Chang Haonan's words quickly played a role.

Those who were able to remain in the military industrial units at this juncture in 1996 were more or less unwilling to admit defeat.

Now it is just in time for the successful test flight of the No. 04 prototype, and the long-term depression has finally been released, and the spirit has naturally come up.

If you are provoked like this again, the effect will be immediate.

Some immediately stood up and expressed their support:

"Chang Gong is right!"

"Don't care about the performance of the Su-27, you must not lose the momentum!"

There are also those that continue to extend on the basis of Chang Haonan's analysis:

"Another point, our J-8-3 and Su-27 are performing on the same field, and the pressure should be on Sukhoi's side."

In a word, more people were awakened.

"yes, that makes sense......"

"If you really want to talk about the performance effect, Su 27 won't be nothing, but if it's not as good as us, then this face will be lost."

“……”

In fact, the person who made this suggestion at the beginning did not have any bad intentions, but he could only say that he was concerned and messed up, and he wanted to get the best performance effect of his own plane.

So everyone quickly reached a consensus on this matter.

"In that case, let's determine what needs to be done during the 20-minute air show."

Yang Fenghata said and flipped the page of the notebook in front of him:

"After all, we are still a new plane, and it will take some time for the pilot comrades who are performing to get used to it."

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became enthusiastic again.

"If you put on an airplane show...... Super maneuverable? ”

Although everyone is engaged in aircraft design, they are not experts in flying itself.

Not surprisingly, some people immediately objected:

"It's too risky to use a prototype that has not yet been designed and finalized to engage in super-maneuvering, and I also want to know that the Su-27 will most likely perform the most classic Cobra maneuver, we can't attack the other's strengths with our own shortcomings, we have to think about what unique advantages we have."

This speech was obviously very pertinent, so everyone followed his train of thought and began to brainstorm.

"Unique advantages...... But what we're better at can't be performed at the air show. ”

"We have a higher ceiling than theirs, but ......"

The nature of the air show itself is special, in order to allow the audience to watch with the naked eye, it must be a low-altitude and low-speed subject, and the flight overload cannot be pulled very large.

This is really not friendly enough for a high-altitude and high-speed oriented aircraft.

Chang Haonan is also a little distressed at this time, the improvements he has made to the J-8-3 in the past few months, the core is still focused on the maneuverability under low-altitude and low-speed flight conditions, so that the aircraft can fly to 2.4 times the speed of sound that was unimaginable in the past, which is actually a piggybacking thing.

But the foundation of the second-generation aircraft, no matter how good the low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability is, you really have to compare with the Su-27 with the lift body design......

It's not like that.

As he mentally pondered the possible performances, he looked down at the rest of the show, trying to find some inspiration.

"Su-27 and Su-30 twin aircraft fly against ......"

In an instant, an idea crossed Chang Haonan's mind.

"In fact, if I have to say, we still have ...... advantageous projects"

"You can let the No. 04 prototype focus on some vertical maneuvers, especially large-angle climbing, after replacing the new engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft is more than 1 in the take-off state without weapons."

Of course, everyone present is well aware of the basic performance of the aircraft, but there are still some concerns:

"Vertical maneuver...... But the thrust-to-weight ratio of the Su-27 is even higher, and it is really better than the climb rate, unless it goes to more than 15,000 meters, it still can't take advantage. ”

"Logically speaking, this is true, but there is still some room for maneuver in this area compared to other performances."

Chang Haonan adjusted his sitting posture and said to the person who spoke just now:

"I watched the performance content submitted by the Sukhoi side, and it was all performed by two cameras, and the whole performance time was very long."

"This means that the two planes have to load more fuel when they take off, and the single-seat Su-27 aircraft has to cooperate with the two-seat Su-30 in the performance, and it cannot give full performance."

Everyone is an insider, and after Chang Haonan mentioned it, he can naturally understand what is going on.

For almost all fighter jets, the two-seater version requires additional weight and space to accommodate an extra pilot and the corresponding operating and life support equipment, so the performance is somewhat weaker than the single-seat version of the same model.

Depending on the model, the difference is between 5% and 10%.

But the Flankers are an outlier.

Due to its signature nose design with an angle of depression, the "rear seat" of the tandem two-seater Su-27UB is strictly above the rear of the front seat, and the height difference between the two pilots is huge.

This design gives the rear seat unparalleled visibility (which is useless in most cases, essentially to accommodate the massive radar), but correspondingly increases flight drag.

And that's not all, because the height of the cockpit will affect the efficiency and stability of the vertical tail, so the two-seater version has been replaced with a larger vertical tail......

In short, after adding more water and water to the surface, the flight performance of the two-seat flanker is much greater than that of the single-seat version, and it is generally believed that it will be about 15% or even higher.

"Not only that, but our performance time is relatively short, so there is no need to bring half a full amount of fuel according to the regular routine, and you can also reduce some dead weight."

"In this way, calculated inside and out, at least in terms of physical feeling, it should be able to come up with vertical mobility that is not inferior to those two flankers!"
