Chapter 1104: firefly

The Hans nationals are really pitiful. From the post-war period to the present, they have not completed the research and development of a fighter independently, and therefore have lost the ability to research and develop. Now they want to introduce their own F-14 fighters, there is no secret.
They definitely don’t need to introduce production lines. They will improve their existing production lines, and they will be more advanced than Han’s production lines. They want to introduce technology. This is understandable. However, they have to import all the materials from their own flight test. For what?
Others may not know it, but Qin Guan knows it clearly, they must be for another project.
firefly.
In this era, many people still don't know anything about invisibility and don't feel anything. However, some people have foresight and have begun to put a lot of effort into this.
According to the information disclosed by later generations, the most advanced stealth technology is Xiong Guo. Their F-117 fighters have been equipped with troops in the 1980s. This technology makes them look like aliens.
But in fact, there are still some countries that have begun to delve into stealth technology. This includes Hans Kingdom. They have also started the development project of stealth machine, which is Firefly.
Just this year, MBB won a contract from the Hans State Air Force and the project was officially launched. This project is also known as the medium-range missile fighter (MRMF).
In terms of the stealth principle, from the wind tunnel model disclosed later, the "Firefly" is a stealth fighter with a polyhedral shape like the "Nighthawk", but it is different from the "Nighthawk" which focuses on ground attacks. It is an air superiority fighter that focuses on medium-range interception capabilities. It uses its excellent frontal stealth capability to attack enemy non-stealth fighters outside the line of sight. The positioning is more in line with the needs of the Eagle Air Force.
To put it bluntly, it's a cold arrow.
After all, the biggest enemy of the Hans is the bear country. The terrible torrent of armor in the bear country is an eternal threat to the Hans. If you want to win a ground war, you must first win the war in the air, seize the air supremacy, and then carry out the air. Attack on the ground.
Firefly is a role of stealth killer.
The "Firefly" is relatively small, and its aerodynamic layout is quite different from the "Nighthawk". For example, it uses a tailless delta wing, a single vertical tail and a belly air intake layout. From the wind tunnel model, its cockpit and front fuselage are perfectly integrated, but this layout makes it hardly capable of close combat.
This aircraft is the role of carrying medium-range bombs, launching missiles secretly, and then driving away after launching.
Now, Gerhard in front of him is the person in charge of this project. The radar cross-sectional area of ​​their fighter aircraft is even twice as low as that of the F-117.
Historically, in the mid-1980s, the "Firefly" project entered the fast lane in MBB. A low-speed model with a scale of 1:3.5 and a transonic model with a scale of 1:20 have been manufactured, and a "manned" model with a cockpit in a 3:4 scale has been manufactured as a flight simulator to verify the cockpit instruments and aviation. For electrical rationality, all models have been extensively tested in the wind tunnel.
It's a pity that they couldn't hide it from the Western world. Soon, Western reporters became aware of this advanced fighter. Reporters have no professional ethics. They dare to disclose any news, so that they can gain personal prestige.
In this way, this project was revealed, which alarmed Eagle Country.
In 1987, the Hans had to admit that the "Firefly" project existed. In the same year, a delegation of the Eagle State Air Force came to MBB and saw the wind tunnel model of the "Firefly" for the first time, and personally experienced its large-scale manned. Simulator.
The situation afterwards is obvious. The Eagle Country will never tolerate the Hans people developing their own advanced stealth machines. The current progress of the Hans people is one step away from manufacturing prototypes. Unfortunately, this project is in Eagle It was cancelled under pressure from the Chinese.
The wind tunnel model and everything related to the "Firefly" were kept in a closed area of ​​MBB's assembly plant in Ottobrunn. Since then, everything about the "Firefly" has been suspended. It stands to reason that it should be able to be in the 1990s. Completed the first flight at the beginning.
This is the sorrow of the Hans, it is almost as if the development of a new fighter jet with the David was stopped by the Eagle Country.
now what? The Hans people came to find all the information about the Annihilation 14. Naturally, they also had this consideration.
The Hans people themselves have lost the ability to develop advanced fighters. If you want to study this Firefly fighter, it is best to have a reference. Who can they find? I can only find Han, other countries, are you willing to provide these materials?
In other words, as long as they request information from other countries, their intentions will come out and they will be doubted.
A fighter jet has to go a whole way from design to finalization. The experience is the most precious, and what Hans people lack is this experience.
Thinking of this, Qin Guan already understood. Toward Gerhard in front of him, Qin Guan continued: "Our J-14 is only a light three-generation aircraft. You have a better chance. Why not introduce Eagle Country's F-16?"
In many aspects of performance, F-16 is actually better than the F-14. The Hans people do this, and it's far from near.
"When the F-16 was designed, it did follow the laws of the energy maneuver theory. However, this aircraft is only capable of close combat. It cannot launch medium-range bombs. At the same time, it uses a fixed leather towed air inlet. The high-altitude and high-speed capability is poor, so we are more inclined to your J-14." Gerhard’s answer is no problem.
The F-16 fighter’s radar currently lacks continuous wave illuminators, so it can’t launch mid-range missiles. It can only use Sidewinder missiles for close-range combat. At the same time, it uses a fixed inlet. Although simple, it gives up the ability to fly at high altitude and high speed. , Although theoretically it can fly to Mach 2, but if it exceeds Mach 1.6, the resistance of the intake duct is too large, and the air intake is too much, and the acceleration is quite slow.
It is understandable that the other party wants to buy its own F-14 fighter. Moreover, the significance of such export is significant. If even Hans people have purchased the F-14 fighter, it shows that the performance of their fighters is excellent and successfully opened up developed countries. Market!
At the same time, as long as they sign an agreement with the Hans people, they can only use the fighters they introduced to produce them for their own use and cannot be exported to a third party, so they will not cause trouble to their exports.
It's their own business how many planes they have to produce.
It's just, how do they break the matter of developing their own stealth machine?
After a pause, Qin Guan said: "Our F-14 fighter has very good performance. We also intend to continue to improve this fighter in China, including a version with a certain stealth capability."
When Qin Guan mentioned the ability of stealth, sure enough, the Hans on the opposite side immediately opened his eyes: "Can this fighter also be stealth?"
