Chapter 1051: Persist in transport ten early warning aircraft

"If we want to develop early warning aircraft, we must base ourselves on our own existing platform." Qin Guan said: "Looking at our country, is there a better platform than Yunshi?"
Have it?
of course not!
Qin Guan and Niu Guoren have already negotiated on the SC-5 transport aircraft. Although this type of transport aircraft is also large, it is a transport aircraft after all.
Compared with passenger aircraft, its internal environment is quite harsh. If you work inside the transport aircraft for a long time, it will be a great harm to human health, and it will also reduce the human's ability to continue combat.
The internal noise of the passenger plane is small and comfortable. It is the most suitable platform for the early warning aircraft.
Looking at the later generations, almost all of the early warning aircraft of the Eagle Country were developed on the passenger aircraft platform, that is, the comfort of the passenger aircraft.
"Only a passenger plane with low internal noise and comfortable ride can provide the premise for continuous combat." Qin Guan said: "If you want to develop an early warning aircraft, it is best to be at the 100-ton level. Such a combat cruise can take more than 20 hours. , There is also enough space to accommodate replacement crew members."
Qin Guan continued: "If we don't use Yunshi, is there a better platform?"
Foreign airliner?
That's impossible. When those passenger planes were introduced, they were the goal of civilian use. The conversion of passenger planes from civilian to military use was subject to sanctions by the airliner manufacturer. Otherwise, why would the later Hans not use the Boeing of domestic civil aviation? Machine modification? Instead, wait for the Il-76 transport plane?
Now, Qin Guan's rhetorical question left everyone with nothing to say. You said that Yun Ten was unqualified. Can you find another qualified one? If you can't find it, then listen to me.
"Yes, it seems that we can only use Yunshi." General Lin said.
Qin nodded in view: "Yes, just use our type of transport, Mr. Ma, have our planes conducted wind tunnel experiments?"
Qin Guan proposed to build an early warning aircraft on the basis of Yunshi. These days, President Ma wouldn't do nothing, right?
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Guan's words, Ma Lao said below: "Yes, we have done related experiments. Adding a 9-meter-diameter radome to the upper part of the rear fuselage of Yunshi will not damage the aircraft at all. However, the corresponding power must also be increased, otherwise it will not be able to meet the demand."
Hearing Mr. Ma’s words, some people immediately objected:
Up to now, the turbofan-8 engine of our Yun-10 matching engine has not progressed smoothly, and there are so many technical defects. We have to use civil aviation backup. Engines, if our military aircraft needs to increase its power, how can this demand be met?"
The domestic research and development is a lot of difficulties. The biggest problem is the engine. After the dismantling of the Tenth World Games project, an important factor is the engine problem.
Now, this is indeed a big problem, but no matter how many problems you encounter, you have to face the difficulties. You must not bow your head because of the difficulties and take the road of outsourcing.
Qin Guan said: "We are now experimenting, and we need to build a prototype. This prototype needs an engine to improve the power, and we will solve it. The research on early warning aircraft is not easy. We may need five or even ten years to complete it. Get up, at that time, don't we have advanced engines yet?"
Qin Guan didn’t pay attention to the turbofan eight, and I don’t know if it will mature, but he has already given the full set of F110 information to Mr. Wu, and the 4430 factory will carry out forward research and development. It is the core engine. When the core engine comes out, a series of modifications can be carried out, such as a gas turbine for ship use, or a passenger aircraft engine with a large bypass ratio.
At that time, there is no need to worry about the engine problem.
Now, if there are no conditions, we have to create conditions. This is the only way to go.
Qin Guan held a firm attitude.
"Mr Qin, our Yunba has passed the finalization and has reached the flight standard. If we first use the Yunba platform as the basis for a small early warning aircraft, how about?" Another comment was made.
Hearing this, Qin Guan frowned. In the Air Force, there are so many people who are unwilling to go to the top ten?
The eighth transport aircraft comes from the imitation An-12 transport aircraft from Han. This transport aircraft uses four-engine propellers. From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the C-130, but its technical performance is far worse than that of the C-130.
Besides, this is a medium-sized transport aircraft, how can it be capable of strategic early warning?
"No." Qin Guan said: "Everyone knows that Niu Guo's early warning aircraft project is progressing slowly. Do you know why this is?"
The fan hunting early warning aircraft, Qin Guan had seen before, the appearance of the big head and the continuous technical failures made Niu Guoren a big headache.
"Why?" someone asked.
"Because their aircraft platform is small and the computer performance they are equipped with is lagging behind, they have been unable to achieve the expected goal. If we use Yunba as the platform, its observation capability may be less than 300 kilometers. The Eleventh Fighter’s radar can see so far, so what else does the Eighth AWACS do?
The AWG-9 radar carried by the Tomcat fighter plane can indeed detect a bomber-sized target at a distance of 300 kilometers when using the farthest mode. Qin Guan is not lying about this.
The strategic early warning aircraft must control enough light range. In later generations, the large-scale Air Police 2000 was first studied. On this basis, the Air Police 200 was improved. First, the big one, breaking through the technology. It’s much easier to study the small ones.
Qin Guan denied all the proposals and continued: "I firmly believe that the only option is to develop an early warning aircraft on the Yun-10 platform. I hope the Air Force can carefully consider my suggestions."
Mr. Ma cast a grateful look. At this time, everyone was not optimistic. Only Mr. Qin was insisting. Without Mr. Qin, the future of his own project might be uncertain.
"Well, President Qin, we will carefully consider your proposal. We will continue to demonstrate and prepare to launch the early warning aircraft project." The Air Force Commander said.
Qin Guan can only be a suggestion here, he can't really make a decision, after all, this is a major event in the Air Force, and Qin Guan cannot alone decide.
However, Qin Guan insisted this time, his words are also very heavy, and the Air Force will definitely consider it carefully.
"President Qin, let's stop here for this project for the time being." General Zhang said, "Apart from this project, what else do you have to offer?"
Qin Guan could only put aside the early warning aircraft project and continued: "My second suggestion is to develop a special electronic warplane based on the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber, called the Electronic Leopard, or the Roaring Leopard, how about?"
Electronic warplane?
After hearing Qin Guan's words, everyone was solemnly again. The projects Qin Guan said were all forward-looking.
