Possession of anti-ship missiles can only be regarded as a means of deterring strikes against enemy aircraft carrier battle groups.

If you want to defend the vast sea area of the country, you still need your own aircraft carrier!

"How to solve the problem of carrier-based aircraft?"

A gray-haired naval officer stood up and said.

"Without carrier-based aircraft, aircraft carriers are useless!"

This is a seminar on the aircraft carrier renovation program.

The content of the discussion was very broad.

Because, when the Varyag was bought, there was basically nothing but the hull.

Even the big shaft of the propeller was cut off.

There are many things that need to be done to rearm it, and that's not ordinary.

The power system, radar system, electronic system, etc., all need to be started from scratch.

And that's just the aircraft carrier itself, a renovation project that needs to be carried out.

The carrier-based aircraft, which is the most important thing for aircraft carriers, is the most headache for everyone.

"Carrier-based aircraft, we can also buy a squadron from Da Mao first, come back, and use it first."

Someone made a proposal to buy carrier-based aircraft.

"No, Da Mao's asking price is too high, and you have to buy at least 33 planes."

There are also people who have raised objections, and this person has obviously talked to Da Mao about this matter in advance.

"There were less than 33 planes, and they didn't think about restarting the production line at all."

Since the disintegration, Da Mao's navy has not had a good time, and such a large money-guster as carrier-based aircraft has basically stagnated, and most of the funds have been spent on maintaining strategic forces and nuclear submarines.

"Da Mao doesn't have to think about it, he sold us Su-27 and Yier-76 before, but it didn't take us lightly!"

One was visibly impressed by these things and said after the other party had spoken.

Da Mao sells arms and sells arms every day, and there are not only one or two people who have been cheated by him in the world.

Especially the third brother who likes to pick up cheap, his nose and face are swollen by the pit.

"There is a prototype over there in Ermao, and they are interested in selling it to us, do you want to buy it back and study it?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in charge of trade matters said.

Self-developed carrier-based aircraft has always been a relatively ideal solution in everyone's minds.

However, almost no reliable research on heavy carrier-based aircraft has been completed in China before.

And in recent decades, technology has changed so fast that many of the designs of that time now seem to be falling behind.

Although Ermao's T-10K-7 prototype is almost the same as it was more than ten years ago.

But after all, it is an improved version of the Su-27, and it can still be used for another twenty years.

"How much do they ask, and can they sell it with the drawings?" I was anxious and asked about these details on the spot.

"Anyway, it must be cheaper than buying the Su-33 from Da Mao, as long as the drawings are given a little more money, there is nothing they dare not sell."

The man knew the character of Ermao's gang very well, and said after smiling.

Since the separation, Ermao's life has not been easy at all.

"With prototypes and drawings, how long will you be able to figure out their technology and build our first carrier-based aircraft."

The old man in charge of the meeting looked at the person in charge of the carrier-based aircraft project who had been sitting and had never said anything, Yang Wei.

"If there are drawings and prototypes for us to explore, we should be able to complete the first carrier-based aircraft within five years."

Yang Wei said after thinking for a while.

"Of course, it also depends on the completeness of the other party's drawings and the state of the prototype."

Ten years have passed since the prototype was produced, according to rough estimates.

And in the past ten years, I don't know if Ermao has been well preserved, and what kind of situation will occur, Yang Wei will not be surprised.

"Our weaknesses in carrier-based aircraft are actually mainly the technology of folding wings and blocking cables, and in other aspects, our domestic fighters have technology to make up for them."

The biggest difference between the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier and the fighter aircraft of the Air Force is that the carrier-based aircraft must have folding wings in order to be able to store them in the hangar.

Otherwise, the wide wing of the fighter will take up too much space in the hangar.

will significantly reduce the aircraft carrier capacity.

"Okay, let's buy the prototype and drawings first, and we will build our own carrier-based aircraft!"

At the end of the meeting, he said with a hammer.

In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the replacement of third-generation aircraft of the Air Force and the research and development of experimental equipment for fourth-generation aircraft.

Therefore, the development of aviation can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds.

In particular, the emerging avionics, radar and other fields have made great progress.

Everyone really doesn't think there's anything remarkable about the Su-33 of the Da Mao family, except for its own folding wings.

The Su-33 uses the same AL-31F engine as the Su-27, and the thrust is now inferior to the turbofan ten improved models developed by Zhang Zhengjiang and them.

In terms of radar, the Su-33 still uses a Doppler pulse radar, which is naturally inferior to the current advanced phased array radar in China.

This is also an important reason why everyone is still more inclined to develop their own carrier-based aircraft.

"Dean Zhang, I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future."

After the meeting, Yang Wei soon found Zhang Xingyang, who was still busy with J20 improvement work.

The J20 is actually very advanced, and in the eyes of many people, such a performance fighter is enough to dominate the title of fighter No. 1.

But in Zhang Xingyang's view, in fact, there is still room for improvement in many aspects of this fighter.

"It's not too much trouble, just come to me if you have any questions."

Zhang Xingyang said happily.

"In terms of carrier-based aircraft, we have just started research and development work, and there must still be a lot of things to cooperate with you." Yang Wei and Zhang Xingyang shook hands and said.

"There are a lot of things that need to trouble you right now."

Yang Wei was not polite at all, and directly said the difficulties they are facing now.

"First of all, there is the issue of the carrier-based aircraft platform, and I want to know about some of the twin-engine heavy J-10."

The double-engine version of the heavy J-10 is a product that did not exist in the original history.

However, this does not mean that Cheng Fei has not thought of making a double-engine version of the J-10.

It's just that the development process of J-10 is really not smooth, and in the end, I have no choice but to give up.

In this world, because the development mileage of the J-10 is very smooth, Cheng Fei has made a lot of efforts to create such a fighter.

Zhang Xingyang also helped them a lot in this process.

Therefore, Zhang Xingyang has a lot of understanding of the Jian-10 double-engine version.

"Why don't we look at the actual machine and talk about it."

It just so happened that there was a twin-engine heavy version of the J-10 staying in the hangar today, and Zhang Xingyang also took the opportunity to say while watching.

The twin-engine heavy J-10 can actually be regarded as a technical verification model of the J20.

J20 has a lot of layout design, and you can see the shadow in it.

Arriving in the hangar, the mechanics are performing maintenance work on the fighter jets.

After Zhang Xingyang said hello to the familiar engineers, he walked to the side of a Jian-10 that was obviously much stronger.

"J 10, I remember it's a single vertical tail, why did you change it to a double vertical tail?"

After looking around the fighter jet, Yang Wei asked with some puzzlement.

If it weren't for the iconic pair of canard wings and the abdominal air intake, Yang Wei would have been a little unrecognizable that this was a J-10.

"Because of aerodynamic problems, in order to avoid eddy currents in the fuselage and reduce the radar reflective surface."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the vertical tail in front of him with an inclined angle placed on top of the two narrowly spaced twin hairs, and said a few words simply.

It's not that he doesn't want to elaborate, it's just that this aerodynamic problem is very complicated, and in detail, it can really be said that it took three days and three nights.

As a fighter designer, Yang Wei also understands how deadly eddy the vortex is to the fighter.

The reason why the F-104 is called the "widow maker" is largely because of its T-shaped tail, which is likely to cause the flat and vertical tails to fail together when flying at high angles of attack, resulting in a crash!

"The double vertical tail seems to be much lower than the single vertical tail?" Immediately afterwards, Yang Wei asked his second question.

"The single vertical tail must be relatively tall to solve the airflow problem when flying at high angles of attack, but this problem is easy to solve under the double vertical tail, so we have lowered the height of the vertical tail a lot."

While answering the other party's question, Zhang Xingyang began to talk about the difference between the double-engine version of J-10 and the ordinary version:

"The twin-engine heavy J-10 has a take-off weight of 35 tons with the blessing of two turbofan ten."

"Nine missiles can be mounted at the same time, eight missiles can be mounted on the hardpoint under the wing, and one missile can be mounted directly under the belly."

"At the same time, because of the use of two engines, the range and combat radius have been greatly improved."

"The most important thing is that our radar system uses phased array radar, which can ensure that multiple targets are locked at the same time."

In fact, except for the built-in magazine because all conditions are really not allowed, most of the technology on the J20 has been tested on the double-engine heavy J-10.

Because of the design of the abdominal air intake of the J-10, it is not allowed to open a magazine inside.

"It's a nice design, you've put a lot of thought into it."

After listening to Zhang Xingyang's introduction to the performance of the twin-engine heavy J-10, Yang Wei said excitedly.

Yang Wei felt that in addition to the lack of folding wings and blocking design, in fact, the twin-engine heavy version of the J-10 could already be applied on aircraft carriers.

Zhang Xingyang could naturally see what Yang Wei was thinking.

So he still reminded Yang Wei: "There are actually still a lot of problems with the double-engine heavy J-10. ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, pouring on Yang Wei's heart, making him calm down in an instant:

"What's the problem?"

"The twin-engine heavy version of the J-10 is indeed more advanced, but its cost is very high and it is more difficult to maintain."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the fighter in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression and said:

"And if you want him to get on the ship, you still have to do a lot of work, otherwise it will be difficult for the fighter to adapt to the battle at sea."

Although carrier-based aircraft usually stay in hangars and fly in the sky during combat, it is reasonable to say that they will not be affected by the sea.

But in many cases, carrier-based aircraft are parked directly on the deck, blowing the sea breeze.

The environment of high salinity and high humidity can easily have a serious impact on the parts and components of the carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, the parts and components of carrier-based aircraft have higher requirements than those of the Air Force in terms of anti-corrosion performance.

"That's not a problem!"

Yang Wei was not as worried as Zhang Xingyang, and said cheerfully:

"The first thing we need to solve now is the question of whether there is or not, and as for what you said, we can solve it slowly."

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Wei passed a special approval document and took away a twin-engine heavy Jian-10 for dismantling and research.

The transaction with Ermao is also very fast, and the other party seems to be worried that we will regret not wanting this garbage.

After confirming that I had received the money, I hurriedly packed these things and sent them over.

It is no wonder that they are like this, there are only four or five countries in the world today that have the ability to build their own carrier-based aircraft.

The eagle sauce and big hair have to be removed here, and the only ones left who can see these old antiques from more than ten years ago are the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

A month later, Yang Wei received the T-10K-7, a big baby that he had been thinking about for a long time.

I don't know if it's because of the lot of storage in the warehouse, or because of the transportation problem.

The surface of the aircraft was already covered with dust.

Yang Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Since their separation, Ermao has been getting worse day by day, and even such important weapons and equipment have been done like this." ”

But he was just joking, after all, if it wasn't for that, how could they sell this thing!

After disassembling the T-10K-7 prototype, Yang Wei and the others began their own learning path.

First of all, it is the folding wing technology of the T-10K-7 that I learned, which is also the biggest obstacle in terms of carrier-based aircraft technology in China.

In fact, when purchasing the T-10K-7 prototype and drawings, the country also bought a carrier-based aircraft landing simulation training system.

It is used to simulate the training of carrier-based aircraft cadets on land.

The most dangerous part of a carrier-based aircraft, in addition to taking off from an aircraft carrier, is the process of landing.

Even Eagle Sauce, which is the world's No. 1 in this regard, has from time to time seen the failure of carrier-based aircraft to land on ships, and the fighters to fall into the sea, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of people.

This point, even after they were later equipped with the F-35 that can take off and land vertically, has appeared several times.

Therefore, the landing process cannot be overstated.

Therefore, in addition to establishing its own land-based simulated carrier-based aircraft landing system, China also sent people to Da Mao's house to study.

It was also at this time that the left and right did not wait for the people of the Dragon Kingdom to come to buy the big hair of the Su 33, only to know that he was put on a position by his former little brother.

However, in this world, unless you practice martial arts to the level of eagle sauce, you can't buy and sell by force.

Therefore, they can only eat this dumb loss with tears.

At the same time, he received a handful of domestic money and began to help train carrier-based aircraft pilots. (End of chapter)
