Chapter 907: Thunder rolling

Lu Hesheng finally understood Tan Zhenhua's true purpose, at least he thought he had finally figured it out.
The all-metal prototype parked in front of him, as well as the prototype that he saw during the visit just now, which is under construction at the Xijing Aircraft Factory, has already taken shape, truly represents the current China The combination of the most advanced aircraft design and manufacturing technology!
From his perspective, this fighter is ahead of the entire generation of the "J-8 II" seen in Shengyang a few days ago from the point of view of its design.
The "Flying Leopard" fighter has all the elements of all third-generation fighters!
The use of advanced turbofan engines as the power, the aerodynamic layout of the intake ports on both sides plus the central lift body, the wing body fusion combined with the large side strip wing plus the airfoil of the leading edge flap, obviously reserved for the large-size PD radar Nose, 4 degree telex control system, multi-function display plus head-up display system, advanced fire control computer and full digital bus......
With his rich experience, Lu Hesheng immediately came to the conclusion that once this fighter is successfully developed, it will at least have the strength to compete with the British "Gust", even if it is against the early model F-14 "Panda". Downwind!
And if its aerodynamic performance is excellent enough and the performance of radar and airborne weapon systems is also strong, then, although its positioning is only a "battle bomb", when it mounts and strikes in the all-air superior combat mode, it can even attack. It may be longer and shorter than F-15!
The two-seater F-14 of my own design often gets the F-15 full of teeth?
This greatly exceeded his expectations of China's current aviation capabilities.
At the same time in China, why is there such a big difference in the results seen after a few days of visit?
It wasn't until he discovered that a large number of onboard equipment was marked with English and French nameplates that he realized.
Carefully he even noticed the production company logos on these nameplates: Gallo Thomson, Gallo Dasso, Britannia Marconi...
Even inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a few white men with high noses and blue eyes who haunted the factory...
Although these are somewhat beyond his expectations, they are still within acceptable limits. China has eagerly introduced all advanced technologies and equipment from various Western industrial countries. This is not news, even if it involves the aviation and military fields of national defense and security. Western countries, including the United States, have also provided China with some technology, openly or secretly, to help it improve its defense industry capabilities. The purpose is nothing more than to add a considerable amount to the bedside of the arrogant giant bear. The strength of the opponent is nothing.
Lu Hesheng knew this well, but when Tan Zhenhua told him frankly that he had half of his investment in this fighter and that he had 100% export rights, and this fact was given to Chen Yijian, the chief designer of the fighter who led him to visit. After personal confirmation, he was truly shocked.
He really did not expect that this was actually engaged in a plane, a fighter!
Knowing that you are rich, knowing that you love toss, but, you are a private person, a Chinese, toss this kind of thing, is it too outrageous?
At this moment, Lu Hesheng is more worried about the future of his precious granddaughter...
However, he didn't expect that what surprised him even more was yet to come.
When he was invited to sit in the small meeting room of 3603, when only Chen Yijian, Tan Zhenhua and him were present, Tan Zhenhua's words not only sent him, but also brought Chen Yijian to Lei. .
"Grandpa Lu, come to our company as the chief engineer, how about moving your home and office to Xiangjiang? It's easier to get in and out, and it saves the Americans from trouble with you."
"...Zhenhua, what shall I do? Help you build this plane? Didn't Master Chen do a good job? Besides, I don't have Chinese nationality, it is a lot of inconvenience to work here, and I haven't done it from scratch. With a plane, many things don’t understand the whole story. How can Chief Chen take it easy, and why should the United States bother me?"
"Because of me, I would like to ask Grandpa Lu to come out of the mountain and join Master Chen to change this plane."
"Change? How to change?" This was Lu Hesheng's question.
"Why do you want to change? These are all prototypes? Even if you want to modify the aerodynamic shape, you have to wait until the first flight, depending on the situation, to decide?" This is Chen Yijian's problem, and there is a point clearly in the words. Dissatisfaction with layman command and insider.
"Well, I want to change it to a carrier-based aircraft."
With one word, the sky thunder rolled.
Chen Yijian and Lu Hesheng looked at each other for a long time before they cautiously asked: "Uh, that, Zhenhua, you want to change the "Flying Leopard" to a carrier-based aircraft? Is this, is it..."
He "did it" for a long time and didn't say why, obviously he didn't know how to speak if he had a full stomach.
Based on Chen Yijian’s familiarity with the navy, as far as he knows, in the foreseeable future, China has no aircraft carrier plan at all. What we are now in charge of is the Type 037 "Yellowwater Battleship" with a displacement of 400 tons. Then, what carrier aircraft do we need?
Tan Zhenhua quickly explained: "Master Chen, Grandpa Lu, blame me for not clarifying what I said, so, I have an immature idea. I think this "Flying Leopard" has a good foundation, dual-engine, central lifting body. Structure, fly-by-wire control, so I want to develop a special carrier-based aircraft model based on it. Of course, this is not something that will come out soon. Of course, we should complete the development of the current model of "Flying Leopard" as soon as possible. Lord, but I want to ask Grandpa Lu to come out and help me bring me a pre-research group for carrier-based aircraft. Master Chen, you can also select a few young people out. There won’t be too many people. They can accept my Grandpa Lu’s. Guidance, while taking the "F-14" stored in our facility as a blueprint, combining theory with practice, thoroughly understanding how the carrier-based aircraft should be designed, what elements and key points, and combining with our "Flying Leopard" development process , Then when our "Flying Leopard" technology freezes and a part of the manpower can be freed up, don't we have a ready-made team and technical reserves, can we start this carrier-based aircraft project at any time?"
After a pause, he added: "Master Chen, let's look at the problem from a developmental perspective. What if the navy proposes to want an aircraft carrier? We have this pre-study for the base, plus the reason With the development of our existing models, won’t we be able to take this order from 3603?"
Not to mention, Chen Yijian calmed down and thought about it carefully, and suddenly discovered that this is not only a great thing that can deepen the firm's technical reserves, but it also has room and possibility for manipulation.
Who knows Lu Hesheng’s name? That is the top figure among the world's carrier-based aircraft designers. The F-14 from his hands is even more fascinating to all opponents. Moreover, the carrier-based aircraft must be designed because of the harsh take-off and landing environment. The choice also resulted in the fact that its performance is generally not the same as that of the land-based fighters of the times, and there is only the F-14, which is an anomaly, which has been born a few years later than it in the many military exercises in the United States. The F-15 fighter jet was very successful, showing its excellent performance and powerful combat power.
This also fully demonstrates Mr. Lu's aircraft design skills.
Such a character, even if he only listens to a lecture from him, is the result of cultivation, let alone how many years can he work with him?
It is estimated that this news will be released in the center. Are those young people afraid that they will grab their heads?
I just don’t know whether this old man Lu Hesheng, who has been called "Grandpa Lu" affectionately and affectionately by Tan Zhenhua, can agree, and ah, can be called by Tan Zhenhua, what is the relationship between this old man and Tan Zhenhua?
He was about to ask, but he heard Lu Hesheng yell out in an extremely surprised and nervous tone: "Zhenhua, you just said that you have an F-14 here?"
