Chapter 1463: Selling the engine

In the past, the J-14 project has just started. Qin Guan tried his best to sell this aircraft. Now, this aircraft has already been sold, and everyone knows it. The same F-14 fighter appeared in China, and the whole world must know that it was provided by itself. Therefore, this project must not be carried out.
What about the rest?
Of course, he started from the other party's ongoing project.
Hearing Qin Guan’s words, General Dennis was taken aback, and coincided with him. He was also getting on this kind of aircraft, and Qin Guan’s words made sense, because Han’s domestic J-10 fighter jet was just a model. This kind of fighter is quite novel in appearance and can be said to be a trend-setting fighter. Several other fighters in Europa are also advancing towards this aerodynamic layout. "President Qin, we are also working on the project you mentioned." Finally, General Dennis made up his mind: "Now, please come to the conference room and listen to our fighter project."
When Qin Guan came this time, he also brought Chen Rui. Chen Rui followed Qin Guan and looked at the fighter with a big nose. He was also very curious. I heard that they had a new project, so I followed along. Went to the meeting room.
As for more professional designers, there are really no, but Qin Guan's vision is old enough, as long as Qin Guan looks at it, he can say the same.
Now, the ongoing project to upgrade the Mirage 3, code-named Cheetah, is just a transitional project. No matter how improved the Mirage III is, it cannot compete with the real third-generation aircraft. They have to research and develop independently, but their technology is too poor, so if they were almost able to introduce the F-14 at the beginning, the carver project would be terminated, but they are still continuing.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tom, I will introduce our carver project to everyone." The engineer Tom, who has met before, came out again this time to introduce this project to Qin Guan and others.
"Now that this project is in the initial stage of development, we first proposed its design requirements. There are six items in total, including the following."
The slide shows that these requirements are what they want to achieve as much as possible.
1. The thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 1:1 or better.
2. Reduce the wing load as much as possible to improve maneuverability.
3. It has the potential to install vector thrust nozzles.
4. The wire transmission control system realizes worry-free control and enhances maneuverability.
5. Advanced avionics.
6. "Glass" cockpit.
"On this requirement, we must first select the aircraft and determine the basic structure of the aircraft. We also believe that the duck layout is one of the most suitable solutions for us." Tom continued.
Now, their project is starting. The model of the later generations was almost released in 1988. Now, everything is conceived.
"Excuse me for speaking out." At this moment, Qin Guan said: "These requirements of yours are very difficult to meet, especially the first one. It is impossible to achieve with your existing power."
Although the talk fell apart later, at the very beginning, everyone worked together. Therefore, Qin Guan knew exactly what their family background was.
They don't have a qualified engine. They only have the Ata 9K-50 in their hands. The turbojet engine of 20 years ago has low thrust, high fuel consumption, and self-importance, and it will definitely not support their fighter development.
And without a qualified engine, the development of fighter jets is impossible.
Qin Guan said the main point in one sentence, even if the thrust of the engine was increased by 10% with the help of the Han country in accordance with the project at that time, it was not enough.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, all our current researches are carried out around engines. Since we cannot obtain advanced high-thrust turbofan engines, we have decided to use a large number of composite materials to reduce weight in order to cope with small thrust engines and reduce Wing load."
Qin Guan shook his head: "Composite materials are still not enough. If the composite materials are hardened, it will cause more problems. It is the right way to think of turbofan engines with high thrust."
You think we don’t want to. If we had a qualified engine, we would have started it! Tom thought secretly in his heart, and at this moment, General Dennis on the side spoke up: "Mr Qin, what do you mean is that you have a qualified engine, can you provide us with it?"
The Chinese side lacks engines, and the Chinese side also lacks engines. However, the Chinese side is making rapid progress. Is it because they already have qualified engines?
Qin nodded his opinion: "Yes, in order to solve our own power problem, we have made great progress in the past few years. We can now imitate the F404-level engine completely, and the performance is basically the same as that of the F404, but because just now I started to imitate, so the scrap rate is very high, and the purchase price is very high."
Of course, Qin Guan came here for the arms trade between the two sides. As an arms dealer, he can do all kinds of business. Now, taking advantage of the intelligence agencies of the Eagle Nation and the Xiong Nation, they are biting their dogs and fighting each other. No one pays attention to him. Hurry up and negotiate a stroke of military cooperation.
What about the high price, do they have a choice?
In order to develop the carver project, Rainbow Country has invested as much as 2 billion eagle yuan! With this amount of funds, 70 or 80 F-16s can be purchased, and they have not produced a carver. If they are finally produced, the price of this light aircraft is definitely the price of a heavy F-15 fighter. Several times the price.
What they have is money, and they don't have a suitable seller. They are the only ones who do not kill them.
Moreover, these engines are almost exactly the same as the F404. Even if the East Window incident happened in the future, as long as they refused to admit it, it would be the Yingguo people shouting to catch the thief and selling these engines. Qin Guan did not have any psychological pressure.
I have already exchanged the F404 production line, and provided so much capital and technical support. It is time to imitate it in China. Even if the initial performance is not stable, I can give Rainbow Nation an emergency. Just by selling this batch, the funds will be enough for us to use for improvement, and the future products can be stabilized, and the F-14 can be retrofitted. There is no need to worry about the export of this kind of aircraft due to engine problems.
"About the price?" General Dennis asked cautiously. If the price is extremely high, it really can't be bought. If the price is acceptable to them, they can buy a batch first.
In addition to being used for new carver projects, they can also upgrade their existing Mirage F1 fighters.
In later generations, they have tested the possibility of introducing the M88 engine. The M88’s afterburner thrust is 7,711 kg, which is only 7% more than the "Ata" 9K-50, but 40% lighter than the "Ata". The thrust-to-weight ratio is greatly increased, the space occupied is also greatly reduced, and the fuel consumption rate is Much smaller than "Ata". M88 can provide an excellent solution for "carvers" and can be used to upgrade "Phantom" F.1.
Since even M88 is suitable, F404 is definitely more suitable, but the price is high.
Now, when Qin Guan heard the other party asking about the price, he said lightly: "I can't say the specific price, but it must be at least 10 million eagle yuan."
