Grumman couldn't get a piece of the NATF project because the Navy wanted to save money!

After all, engineers in the United States have very high salaries, and Americans who engage in R&D will never work day and night.

In this case, the cost of research and development will not be low, the cost of construction will also be very high, if there is no naval appropriation, Grumman itself is absolutely impossible to give the Tomcat fighter a skin, into a stealth shape, even if there is, it is just a PPT project, it will definitely not progress to the stage where a prototype can be made, which will burn a lot of money.

Now, the Orientals are developing this project, I don't know to what extent? If the results of these projects of the Orientals are obtained, their Grumman company may not have to spend too much money to build the NATF carrier-based aircraft that the Navy needs!

In this way, Grumman can continue to produce carrier-based aircraft for the Navy and continue to earn high profits!

"That's right, we believe that only stealth machines can fight stealth machines." Qin Feng said: "Moreover, the cost of a new design stealth machine is too high, and using our existing achievements to transform it is the most economical solution." ”

Lao Maozi's Su-57, isn't it just to flatten the Su-27, this scheme is the simplest.

"Well, you're right, but in this transformation plan, the shape is available, but what about the built-in bomb bay?"

The stealth aircraft must not only have the ability to look stealth, but also have a built-in bomb bay, otherwise the ammunition will be hung under the wings, which will destroy the stealth.

"Of course, it is in the belly bomb bay, and we have also deliberately thickened the space of the rear fuselage, so that we can create a long enough bomb bay, if the fuselage structure is strong enough, then we do not need to place a baffle in the middle of the bomb bay, we can make an eight or nine meter long bomb bay, so that it can carry large anti-ship missiles, and all kinds of attack weapons can be stuffed."

The Tomcat fighter exists as an air superiority fighter, but with the development of the times, the fighter is also developing to be multi-purpose, and by the time of the F-14D, it can carry various bombs to carry out ground attack missions.

The two engines of the Tomcat fighter are very far apart, and the space in the middle is just an ordinary flat plate to connect, and now, it can be thickened and made into a bomb bay, which runs from the front to the back! This, of course, was inspired by the Su-57, but because of the requirements for the strength of the body, the bomb bay under the belly of the Su-57 was not opened up front and back, and there was a partition in the middle.

As for whether Qin Feng's PPT project can be opened, of course, Qin Feng has the final say.

At this time, looking at Qin Feng's project, the representatives of Grumman Company present took a deep breath, strong, too strong, such a design, the Navy will definitely like it!

Although the Navy has the A-12 carrier-based attack aircraft project, if the Tomcat's facelift can also throw large weapons such as anti-ship missiles and land-attack cruise missiles, then the Navy has one more option! Even, if something goes wrong with the A-12, they can be used as a substitute for this project!

They are completely satisfied with the design of the aircraft, and now they are most concerned about how far the project is going.

"Mr. Qin, how is your project progressing?"

"Well, keep it secret for the time being, I can only tell you that we in the East are not as backward as the outside world advertises, we also have our own specialties, and even in some aspects, we can still be in the leading position."

Pelehak's eyes rolled: "Mr. Qin, then, can we participate in your project and jointly develop it?" ”

If it is said that the introduction of these technologies of the Orientals, it costs money, maybe the Orientals will also open their mouths, and it is often hundreds of millions of dollars to ask, if they are jointly developed, then there is no need to spend money, and the technology is directly shared!

"That's right, our Grumman company has strong technology, you may take a lot of detours in independent research and development, and we can jointly develop this aircraft as quickly as possible!"

"I don't count that. This project was carried out by our domestic 320 factory, led by the Air Force, so we have to ask them. Qin Feng looked at someone present: "Lin Lao, can we cooperate with Grumman in research and development?" ”

"Of course not!" Lin Lao refused: "We have already suffered a loss, and we must not eat it a second time!" ”

"That's right, the peace model project has signed a contract, and if you say it, in the end, you will change the hexagram, and we will continue to increase the price, we will not cooperate with this kind of company!" Another Air Force leader followed suit.

"Mr. Pelehak, I'm very sorry, I've been bitten by a snake for ten years, I'm afraid of the well rope!"

Pelehaq thought for a moment: "If you are willing to let us join the research and development of this project, we can hand over the aircraft and the parts you ordered to you, but the follow-up research and development will not be taken care of, you need to figure it out yourself." ”

The price increase was what they Grumman wanted, and they wanted to make an extra profit, and the seizure of the aircraft and spare parts was instructed by the superiors, but now that things have changed, they don't solve this matter, and any blocking cables and bulletproof inserts will be in vain.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there was already a transaction last year, Dongfang has already got sixty sets of parts, and now they will give them the agreed 55 sets, and there will be no risk of leakage, and the leak should have been leaked a long time ago! Coupled with the temptation of this stealth machine, Grumman's best choice is to fight with the Oriental!

Li Ming's heart was beating violently, this was it?

The Peace Model Project was stuck, and they were also very angry, but they had no choice but to watch, and even because they wanted those spare parts, they had a disagreement with Mr. Qin, what about now? Mr. Qin ignored his past suspicions and helped them successfully solve this matter!

It is impossible for Grumman to continue to help with the development, and the equipment has been installed on the aircraft, the modification work has entered the end, and the rest of the work, they can do it themselves, as long as they can get the aircraft and spare parts back, they can change it themselves!

Thanks to Mr. Qin!

Li Ming's eyes were full of gratitude, he had blamed Mr. Qin before, Mr. Qin didn't have any bad thoughts about what they had in the north, Mr. Qin was just talking about things.

Next, be sure to ask Mr. Qin to have a few drinks and express his gratitude!

Russell and Calvin at the scene were also very excited, as long as Grumman's matter was resolved, then their matter would be solved, and the Orientals would definitely not be able to detain their goods anymore! Hurry up and solve it, you can't delay the US Navy with a blocking cable!

Qin Feng's gaze looked at Lin Lao again: "Lin Lao, do you think it's okay with such conditions?" ”

"Hmph, unilaterally breaking the contract has created obstacles for us, resulting in a major blow to our 82 Project, and we should be compensated a sum of money, but we also know that Grumman is also passive in this matter, so forget it! It's okay if it ends like this. ”

Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart, Lin Lao is a cow, and at this time, he didn't forget to beat the Americans.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, thank you for your understanding." Pelehak spoke: "Can our cooperation start immediately?" ”

"Of course not, we have to wait until you have dealt with all the mess in front of us, and we can turn the page before we can start a new page."

"Okay."

"Mr. Lin, let's ...... then" Russell and Calvin also waited.

"My affairs are not in my hands, but the customs department is in charge."

What, what about playing us?

The two of them were about to stand up and scold, but Lin Lao continued to speak: "However, after the goodwill of your Grumman Company is understood by the relevant departments, they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

"Mr. Lin, we are in a hurry!"

"Then it's up to Grumman to act."

We have to let Grumman settle the matter first, and then the other things can be said, which is also obvious, let's agree first, what if the other party regrets it again?

"Let's get it as soon as possible." Pelehaq said: "However, can we leave the designer behind and communicate with the project team of your fighter?" ”

"It's okay to stay, and first appreciate the great rivers and mountains of our motherland." Lin Lao nodded: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, I will send someone to take you to the Great Wall first." ”

The negotiation was finally over, and the group of people left the conference room with mixed feelings, each busy with their own things, and Qin Feng was called to the office by Lin Lao.

"Xiao Feng, amazing, just using a picture, you fooled the Yankees! Where did this picture come from? ”

"I painted it when I was idle these days." Qin Feng said that in the past few days, the long nights have been long, and he can't spend it, so he can only rely on drawing pictures to relieve his loneliness.

"When Grumman finishes what needs to be done, he will definitely come to continue the project, will it be revealed when the time comes?"

"Definitely!" Qin Feng said: "When the time comes, the angry Pelehak will definitely tear me apart." ”

Qin Feng said as he sat on the sofa generously, without the slightest fear.

"Don't sell it, just keep talking!"

"Our J-11 has begun to be officially put into production, the next task is to understand the technology, improve and improve, I think that we can follow the shape of my aircraft, our own technical force is not enough, if there are Grumman technicians involved, it will be better."

Surveying and mapping imitation is just the beginning, the next step is to improve and improve, but how to change the Tomcat fighter?

Changing composite materials, changing avionics equipment, and replacing telex operations, these are all small changes, big changes, that is, completely changing the appearance! Change the Tomcat fighter into a stealth machine!

The Tomcat fighter actually has a stealth facelift, but it is not a NATF project, but an A/F-X project.

After 91 years, with the collapse of the Red Empire, the most powerful enemy of the United States completely disappeared, and the Americans then threw away the NATF, but the Navy still needed advanced carrier-based aircraft, so it proposed the A/F-X plan, which is still a variable sweep wing, similar to the F-14 Tomcat, Grumman does have this improvement plan, but this project was also abandoned in 93.

In the end, the Navy was forced to engage in JSF with the Air Force.

Grumman can't get involved in the NATF project because the goal of the project is to save money, but if the money problem is solved, then they can also make up the stealth cat!

Pelehaq and the others left the conference room, went straight to the airport, and got on the special plane to return to Grumman, where they also discussed.

"Do Orientals really have this kind of technology?"

"Yes, the Orientals are at the level of building a J-7-J-8, and these planes are not good!"

J-8 was turned over and over in their hands, it was completely hand-rubbed, and there was no possibility of any exchange, as for J-7, Grumman was still working with Factory 132 and Lao Ba to carry out the Sabre-2 plan, trying to modernize and improve J-7.

Now, to say that the Dongfang can suddenly leap from the second generation to the fourth generation aircraft all at once, they do not believe it.

"That's right, the Orientals are indeed at the level of building seven and destroying eight, but they will make shells!" Pelehaq said: "Isn't the J-11 they built just a copy of our shell? ”

The last time I came to the East to negotiate, Pelehaq had already discovered this problem, although the Orientals don't know anything else, but the ability to make shells is still very strong, the so-called stealth modification, it's just a change of shell, it's not a big deal.

"That's right, it's a shell, but the shell of the stealth machine is not the same as an ordinary shell!"

The shape of the stealth machine,It seems to be very ordinary,But in fact,Every arc,Every detail is exquisite,A slight flaw,It may make the stealth work wasted,There are a large number of models,A large number of numerical calculations,It's not just a shell。

"That's right, this shell is not simple, but, don't forget, some time ago, Loongson Company, a subsidiary of the Pacific Group, just released their first processor, Loongson No. 1, the performance of this processor is stronger than the most advanced processor of our domestic Intel company, you say, since this advanced processor has been introduced to the market, their design department, has it been used?"

Pelehaq continued to sigh: "If it was said by someone else's mouth, I might be suspicious, but this Pacific Group is too strong!" I think they can do it, and this deal is the same as last time, and we can both accept it, isn't that the best option? ”

Because other projects were stuck, Russell and Calvin were moving around, and the superiors were anxious, so they had already instructed them Grumman to deal with it all, and they took the initiative to come over this time, hoping to solve this matter quickly, and the most important thing was to get benefits.

Although it is not more than 200 million US dollars, there is a new scheme design, which is related to the long-term development of their Grumman company!

"I believe that Mr. Qin will not lie to me, he is a good person."

"Ahh Qin Feng sneezed.

"Xiao Feng, what's wrong with you?" Lin Lao is very concerned.

"It's okay, I guess someone is praising me behind my back." Qin Feng said: "Next, we need to quickly set up this stall, the first batch of computers of our Loongson company has been built, and they are all sent to the 320 factory, we have to quickly write a program, enter this design into the computer, and wait for the next time their Grumman company people come over, at least let them know that we have done a lot of work." ”

Lin Lao nodded: "Okay." But...... There's definitely something wrong with the design. ”

"Of course there is a problem, but it is just that we are inexperienced." Qin Feng said: "If they think it's inappropriate, they can point out the problem to us!" ”

Lin Lao's eyes lit up, you kid, this is looking for someone to be a teacher for free, but this plan is good!

When it comes to stealth aircraft, the first thing that comes to mind is the F-117, which is the world's first practical stealth aircraft, however, few people know that the theoretical source of this stealth aircraft is the Soviet Union.

In the sixties, the big Mao physicist Pyotr Ufimochev wrote a paper called "The Edge Wave Method in the Theory of Diffraction Physics", in which he demonstrated how electromagnetic waves are scattered on 2D and 3D surfaces, and built a model that made the echo estimation of electromagnetic waves something that could be realistically calculated, rather than an aimless experiment in the laboratory, and proposed equations to predict the radar reflectivity of geometrical shapes.

At that time, the paper did not attract attention from the outside world, until it was discovered by engineers at Lockheed Skunk Works, who were pleasantly surprised to call it "the Philosopher's Stone that brought about a breakthrough in stealth technology". Then the company used this kind of company to calculate the shape of the F-117, this diamond shape is completely caused by the lack of computer power, and the later aircraft has become streamlined, because the computing power has been improved.

Now, Dongfang also has advanced chips, which can calculate complex formulas, and all that is needed is a program.

"Okay, let's fully cooperate, what do you need us to do?" Lin Lao was very excited.

"Give money, those computers are expensive."

"No money!"

Report! Just then, a voice sounded outside.

"Come in."

"Li Gong, they are very interested in Mr. Qin, they want to invite Mr. Qin to dinner, and they also want to invite Mr. Lin."

Lin Lao nodded: "It's time to talk to them, Grumman has fulfilled the agreement and sent those things back, so the 82 project can continue." However, they don't need to be invited to eat, just eat something in the airplane building, and after eating, let's have a meeting! ”

"Well, let's go then." Qin Feng had no interest in coming into contact with the north, and the reason why he tried his best to help this time was not for them, but for the country.

"You have to attend the meeting, too." Lin Lao nodded: "After all, if this 82 project can continue, you are the first to do it." ”

"If you really remember my work, don't let me have a meeting, give me more money."

"There is no money, but their aviation industry system may have to purchase a batch of computers in a centralized manner, your Loongson computer can bid, and the 320 factory can apply."
