Chang Haonan's original meaning was actually to go directly to the 601 Institute.

After all, Factory 112 is only responsible for production, and structural improvement is entrusted to the research institute.

However, Yao Mengna directly turned the direction and walked with Chang Haonan to a small door next to the assembly workshop.

"While we were producing the first batch of two aircraft, we also assembled a complete fuselage for the comrades of the 601 Institute to conduct some aerodynamic, structural and flight control tests, in order to facilitate the docking with the production process, so it was placed in the test workshop next door."

He Ming explained as he walked.

Now Chang Haonan finally understood why he met Yao Mengna here so coincidentally.

The latter should theoretically be hung on the side of the research institute.

After a few minutes of winding through the corridor, He Ming pushed open a small inconspicuous door.

Inside is a slightly smaller space than the final assembly workshop.

"This is what we specially used to change out of an old workshop for the No. 11 project."

After the three of them walked in one by one, He Ming closed the door with his backhand, and at the same time introduced:

"Originally, it was planned to be used to produce the J-7 after surveying and mapping, but then because the whole project was transferred to the south, it has been idle, and then it was used as the assembly workshop of the J-8 for a period of time."

"But because the overall design is too old, it is difficult to adapt to the production needs of the new model, the previous plan was to dismantle and rebuild as the second workshop of the J-8C, and then I felt that it was close to the J-11 assembly line, so I used it for testing."

While speaking, a plane that was suspended in mid-air had already appeared in front of Chang Haonan.

The shell of an airplane, to be precise.

Because even if the distance is not close, you can still see that places like radars and engines are full of counterweights.

In addition, the color of the skin on the surface of the aircraft has been changed from yellow to a slightly greenish color.

"It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this improvement plan......"

Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to carry out this kind of structural test by simply introducing an assembly line.

For example, in India, the static test of the Su-30MKI was completed in Russia.

At least there's no need to do it so early.

For example, the static test of the J-6 was completed when preparing for the J-6.

Because the final step of this kind of test is to destroy one or more complete aircraft, it is a very valuable combat resource for the Huaxia Air Force, which is seriously lacking in immediate combat power.

In the last generation, the static demonstrator of the J-11 was put into service only after entering the new century.

And now, the action is obviously much earlier.

"According to our path of 'production and improvement', the first three batches of six aircraft are no different from the Su-27SK aircraft we imported before, except for the wingtip pylons,"

He Ming explained beside him:

"From the fourth batch to the sixth batch of 24 single-seater aircraft, as well as the first batch of 4 two-seater aircraft, will begin to use the new airframe after the upgrade, as Yao Gong just said, as well as the N001M radar with slightly better performance, the most important thing is to have a ground-to-sea mode, to obtain limited ground-to-sea strike capabilities."

"Equivalent to the original Su-27SM and Su-30 in Komsomolsk?"

Chang Haonan turned around and confirmed.

The basic model of the Su-27 does not have any ground attack capability except for rockets and iron bombs, in fact, it completely wastes the huge bomb load brought by the flanker body.

The J-10 does have multi-purpose capabilities, but the body still severely limits the play.

If a truly multi-purpose fighter can be obtained a few years in advance, it will be a huge benefit to the Air Force's combat effectiveness upgrade and the transformation of its tactics.

Of course, at the cost of the number of J-7s, there will definitely not be so much.

But it's also a good thing, Hokyo originally specialized in large aircraft, and it was too wasteful to use the production line to build fighter-bombers.

"Yes, these six batches of a total of 34 aircraft are also the entire number of our 100% Russian component production, and we will gradually use string parts to produce them later, and gradually transition to completely domestic production except for the power system."

Project 11 was a contract between Huaxia Aviation Industry and Sukhoi, and had nothing to do with Rurika-Saturn, which built the engine.

But speaking of this, He Ming first paused for a while, and then added:

"Of course, after the turbofan 10 on Mr. Chang's side is completed, then even the power system will be solved, and when the time comes, the third-generation fighter will be completely localized......"

"You just said that in addition to the power system, small things such as aircraft fasteners can also be localized?"

Chang Haonan noticed some of the details mentioned by the other party.

In the aviation manufacturing industry, there may be high technology hidden in every detail.

Aircraft fasteners, that is, bolt rivets used on airplanes, these inconspicuous little things.

But the inconspicuous is inconspicuous, but the technical content is not low.

Moreover, there are many types of fasteners that need to be used on an aircraft, and the specific performance requirements and materials used are very different.

In addition, there are no shortcuts to material and process problems, which leads to very slow development.

In the last life, even until around 2020, Huaxia had to import a large number of aircraft fasteners for production every year.

"Yes."

He Ming, who had not experienced all this, nodded as a matter of course:

"These are all part of the technology sharing clause in the content of the contract, and accordingly, many of the technologies that were previously on paper on the Russian side will also be further developed using our resources, mainly computer resources."

Chang Haonan chatted with He Ming about the progress of the No. 11 project, and at the same time briefly greeted several researchers along the way, and walked quickly to the close side of the plane.

Then he raised his head and took a closer look at some of the details on the plane.

Although you can't see much, you can clearly see a set of bolts on the innermost side under the wing, as well as the corresponding electrical interfaces.

Moreover, it is also a two-seater model.

In other words, it is even a real Su-30 airframe after the first round of upgrades.

In the last life, Huaxia did not introduce and produce two-seat models of Su-27UBK or Su-30, J-11BS, including the later J-16 are independently developed models on the basis of J-11B.

Although the No. 11 project on this timeline is now unrecognizable compared with the previous life, a complete version of the Su-30 came out in 1997, which still shocked Chang Haonan.

You must know that all the "Su-30" used for air performances in the early years, even including the first batch of Su-30MK exported to India, were actually directly replaced with the Su-27UB......

"Is my influence already so terrifying?"

Although Chang Haonan secretly felt that this matter was inseparable from him, he was still a little surprised by this progress.

You must know that after the J-8C was successfully finalized, Chang Haonan returned to Shengjing several times for the turbofan 10, and he did not directly intervene in the No. 11 project before that.

If such a project can make such a huge change because of him, it undoubtedly means that it is one step closer to the original goal of rebirth.

"This body is the two-seater model we are going to assemble?"

"That's right."

He Ming nodded:

"It was additionally transported from Komsomolsk for research, and it is also a typical example of the implementation of the Russian technology on paper, which I just mentioned."

"In this technical state of the aircraft, we plan to call the single-seat model J-11A, and the two-seat model called J-11AS, and from the seventh batch of aircraft, the structure and avionics equipment of the aircraft will be upgraded at a deeper level."

"This airframe is prepared for the second round of improvement plans, one is to eliminate the structural weakness of the central lift body, the second is to upgrade a larger proportion of composite materials and lithium-aluminum alloy weight reduction, and third, it is to fully replace the localized airborne equipment, and fully compatible with the domestic ammunition system."

Just when He Ming was introduced here, Yao Mengna, who had just gone around to the other side of the plane, walked back with a laptop in her left and right hands:

"Mr. Chang, I brought the running logs and results of the software."
