Chapter 1240: Single-engine to dual-engine

What Qin Guan wanted was an excuse and a reason. As long as he could live a good life, that was enough. Since there are customers coming, why not accept it?
Now, what the Kingdom of David said is a good plan. If it is a project jointly carried out by the Kingdom of David and its own side, and it has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Rainbow, then Qin Guan’s anger will naturally disappear. Wait until the fighter is developed and exported to After the Kingdom of David, the Kingdom of David is exported to the Rainbow Kingdom. It has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Han. Just let them toss as they want.
"If this is the case, we can still consider it. However, we have a prerequisite. This project is an improvement project for you. You don't need your staff to stay in our factory for a long time."
Qin Guan said it solemnly.
In fact, it is understandable for the customer to develop fighter jets for the customer to stay for a long-term stay and care about the development progress at any time. However, it is helpless, because the thing that the Rainbow Country did is really not authentic and caused a bad impact. Therefore, Qin Guan simply took this opportunity to drive their people away.
You come to see occasionally, yes, but you want to join in and study together, no!
Besides, you don’t have time for yourself. The current state of David is making every effort to develop their fighter jets. The type of Lion fighter that is similar to the F-16 but changed to a duck layout is currently the most important project of the state of David. , The Kingdom of David wants to develop this project into their main fighter project, and their technical strength is not strong, how can they intervene in the development of this project or for the Rainbow Kingdom?
Therefore, after hearing Qin Guan’s words, the two of them only pondered for a while, and then they both agreed: "Okay, President Qin, since you insisted so hard, then, of course we can agree, Yugui Fang came to complete the improvement of this fighter, but we feel that the task volume may increase a bit.
Rafael said cautiously.
Will the task load increase? What are you afraid of! With a smile on Qin Guan's face: "It's okay, the task volume has been changed, then our research and development funding will be increased, how do you plan to change it?"
Qin Guan knew that the most important thing in this project was the problem of the engine. Because of the lack of suitable engines, he was forced to switch to the backward Ata 9K-50. He had to improve the engine. This is a big project and it is a big project for his own technology. For personnel, it is also a very advantageous opportunity to practice hands.
Don't they think that the increase in thrust is not enough, and they want to improve the compressor and continue to increase the thrust?
"Mr. Qin, the performance of the engine we use is insufficient." Rafael on the side said cautiously: "So, we envisioned whether we can plug two engines into its rear fuselage to become a double Engine fighter?"
Hearing this, Qin Guan frowned. What a change is this? This is simply the development of a brand new fighter!
Now, the project Qin Guan helped them research, if compared with the history, should be a better match for the carver project.
This is an effort of the Rainbow Air Force to pursue advanced fighters in the future. This aircraft has received strong support from the Air Force Commander, Lieutenant General Dennis Earp. Unfortunately, the only option they have is the old "Atta" 9K50 turbojet engine. , They can only use all imaginable methods, such as improving the engine, increasing thrust, for example, using a large number of composite materials.
By 1988, the "carver" project had been carried out to the stage where prototypes could be produced. Since composite materials were not yet in place, the prototypes could only use metal parts and were heavy.
But at this time, the situation changed. Lieutenant General Dennis Earp retired. Jane Fan? -Lt. Gen. Loglenburg succeeded him. Loglenburg used to be a pilot of a "pirate" attack aircraft. He put forward higher requirements for the "carver", asking for an increase in range and ammunition.
His view is very different from that of Lieutenant-General Earp, who was a P-51 pilot. In this way, the single "Atta" 9K-50 engine of the "carver" simply cannot meet the requirements of the new commander. It must use dual release bureaus. This means that Atlas' previous efforts are all in vain, and the design team is back. Before the drawing board.
The redesigned double-headed "Carver" early proposal looks similar to "Phantom" 4000, because this project attracted a large number of designers from Dassault, including the David Fabish who made Qin Guan hate. The people from Dassault.
This is all in history. Now, the Prime Minister of Rainbow has won Han's F-14 fighter. This is the most suitable fighter they can purchase. Unfortunately, because the engine problem cannot be solved, they can only It is a new idea.
It is only in 1982. In this era, the use of composite materials is not much. Even if their engine thrust is increased, their own weight is still very large, no matter what, so, simply, they proposed a New ideas, plug in two engines!
Do you think it's plasticine? The rear fuselage is changed and two engines are inserted. What is the difference between the workload and designing a new aircraft?
The engine has become two, and the fuselage has to be zoomed in simultaneously, or else it would be too uncoordinated.
If you can order a few hundred of them and redesign them once, now, just a few dozen of them, will you improve them?
"No, this won't work." Qin Guan immediately shook his head: "Our technicians are very busy now. The workload of this kind of change is too large, and the time and money cannot be consumed."
Even if you provide funds, we still don't have enough time. After all, everyone is now working on the third-generation engine, and quickly replace the Jian-10.
The J-10 has already been produced and is currently entering service in the Air Force in small batches. Why isn't it serving in large batches? It's not because of the engine.
Spey’s modification has reached its limit. No matter how it is modified, the symptoms of high altitude weakness cannot be corrected. Therefore, the real performance of the duck-shaped J-10 cannot be displayed at all. The engine is dragging its feet. The Air Force’s funds are limited and can only be used in one direction. The Air Force is equipping it in small batches while waiting for the new third-generation engines to appear.
At this time, it is not worthwhile to do such a big project for them.
Qin Guan disagreed, and all this went back to the starting point.
"However, if this is not the case, no matter how we increase the thrust of the Ata 9K-50 engine, we will not be able to meet our expectations." Rafael said, he is familiar with the project.
"The weight of this engine is too large. After it is installed, it still cannot achieve its original performance."
This sentence was immediately pushed back by Qin Guan: "Since you want to buy it, can't you still buy F404?"
