Chapter 1016: Install aerial refueling pipe

Amir’s visit was still fruitful. On the second day, news came from the 6617 factory in Prairie City. The 100 79 tanks newly built for them had already begun to be loaded on trains and bound for the port. Ready to ship for them to take away, Abbas also smiled. After squeezing out the people of Zhailand, the 6617 factory was running at full capacity to produce tanks for the date palm country.
At the same time, under the recommendation of Qin Guan, Amir went to the capital of Han, preparing to discuss with several rocket experts to see if the scud transformation plan can proceed smoothly.
As for Qin Guan, he temporarily stayed at the 1172 factory, and he is discussing with a group of designers about the installation of aerial refueling pipes.
"Our Flying Leopard fighter-bomber has a long enough range. Is it necessary to install an aerial refueling pipe?" a technician asked.
It should be an aircraft with a short range such as the J-7. The Flying Leopard has a range of nearly 4,000 kilometers and a combat radius of more than 1,600 kilometers, which is enough to complete the defense and attack tasks of the motherland’s sea and air. Need air refueling? Look at the later generations as well. The Flying Leopard equipped by Han has no aerial refueling pipes, and its own J-11 does not have aerial refueling pipes, because these two voyages are enough.
The one who owns the aerial refueling pipe is the J-8-2. This is just an experiment to solve the existence and not really use it.
"Yes, if it is a defensive force, air refueling is really unnecessary. If it is an offensive force?" Qin Guan said, "For example, if the target is far away from five thousand kilometers, should we? Strikes? If there is a strike, how many in-flight refueling will take place? Maybe we don’t need it, but what is the customer’s demand?"
Of course Qin Guan knew that Silver Nation did have this need. They just did not have suitable bombers. If there were, they would attack when Eagle Nation’s fleet was sailing on the sea. The garrison of the bomber troops far away in China was itchy by their hate.
The Silver Nation has aerial refueling aircraft, but their fighters have too close range, and it is too risky to refuel multiple times in the air. Besides, they don’t have large bombers.
In order to better promote the flying leopard, it is a major move to install an aerial refueling pipe for the flying leopard, which is a must for the export type.
Hearing Qin Guan’s words, Old Chen nodded:
Yes, we can install an aerial refueling pipe for the Flying Leopard, which can increase its range and become a strategic bomber, but we have never had aerial refueling technology in our country. It will take a long time to break through this technology."
It takes a long time for a technology to emerge from scratch.
"Why not?" Qin Guan said: "Which one of our F-11 fighters does not have an aerial refueling pipe? It's just that we haven't used it before. Almost all of our imitated models are copied completely. Just take one. If you can't If you fold it into the fuselage, it will simply be fixed. Now it is time to solve the problem."
The J-11 is the Tomcat fighter. Of course, this fighter has the ability to refuel in the air. If the Eagle Navy cannot refuel in the air, their combat missions will be greatly affected.
As for the model I copied, in order to avoid accidents, none of the screws were moved, and they were completely copied. Of course, there is also a set of aerial refueling equipment. It is not complicated to process. Now you can negotiate with your brothers and have a set. Come and install it.
In later generations, the Flying Leopard had never conducted aerial refueling experiments. On the one hand, it was because the flying leopard had a sufficient range, and on the other hand, it was because of the lack of suitable aerial refueling aircraft in Han. Eight plus is enough. If you give it to Feibao, you can't feed its stomach at all, so it's worthless.
Now it's different. With the four KC-10 aerial tankers obtained from the Parthian nation, then there will be a giant nurse. It is enough to fuel ten flying leopards. What are you afraid of?
Qin Guan said: "I'm here with us, waiting to complete the aerial refueling project. After the test flight is completed, we will take this aircraft and fly directly to Silver Country."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, everyone was stunned and flew directly to Baiyin Country? How far will the voyage be? There must be at least three air refueling in the middle of the journey. As long as there is one mistake, there will be an irreversible situation. The Han fighters have never flew so far. Who will fly?
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you notify me when you came here?" At this moment, a voice came from outside, following the voice, a young pilot walked in.
Chen Rui’s tone was complaining, but his face was smiling. He was in the flight test institute, and it was only a few dozen kilometers away from Factory 1172. It was almost at the door of his house. Who knew that Qin Guan came this time without notifying him. He was very dissatisfied. Now, he walked in quickly and went straight to Qin Guan.
Then, I saw the expressions of everyone: "What's wrong? What are you doing so surprised? I didn't have a test flight today. I rested."
You don’t think I ran out secretly, do you? I went through formal procedures.
Seeing Chen Rui, Chen Lao immediately had an idea: "Mr Qin, listening to you, we have no technical problems with the installation of aerial refueling pipes for fighters. The key now is the skills of the pilots. We need pilots. Give us a test flight, I think Chen Ruilai is the most suitable."
Air refueling technology is commonplace in the Western world, and any pilot can do it. However, in China, this technology is built from scratch. No pilot has ever flown before, and it is impossible to master the flight know-how in this project. , Of course, let Chen Rui fly first.
Qin watched Chen Rui, and Chen Rui's face was full of joy at this time: "Come on in the air? Okay, I can only enjoy the flight simulator before. Now we finally have a real plane to fly. Brother-in-law, we have the air. Refueling machine?"
The Tomcat has the ability to refuel in the air. Chen Rui once opened the aerial refueling pipe when flying before, but he suffered from the lack of an aerial refueling machine. Now Qin Guan said that if he wants to use this technology, he must have a refueling machine. .
Qin nodded his opinion: "Yes, Chen Rui, do you want to test this subject?"
Chen Rui nodded: "This subject is challenging enough, I like it."
"Then you have to promise me a request." Qin Guan said.
"Brother-in-law, what you said, do we have to make conditions for revolutionary work?"
"For your kid, I must mention it," Qin Guan said.
"I can promise you any conditions, as long as I fly." Chen Rui answered simply.
"After this mission is completed, there will be a half-month holiday. You go to Lin Xiaoxia to spend this holiday."
