Chapter 496: Italian Raptors

In the aviation industry, there is a saying that as long as the engine is powerful, the bricks can fly into the sky.
For Eagle Country, the engine is not a problem. The first-class engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10 was first manufactured in Eagle Country, and it is also the only such powerful engine in the world.
Therefore, on the basis of the powerful engine, they don't need to worry about power, and design whatever they want. For many years, they have been best at conventional aerodynamic layout.
Therefore, almost all of Eagle Nation’s fighters have conventional aerodynamic layout.
However, if the engine is not powerful, then it can only find a way in the aerodynamic layout. In the 1980s, the duck layout has gradually become popular. In addition to the conventional layout of Eagle Country, the three brothers in Europa , Typhoon, Gust, Gripen, all are duck aerodynamic layout.
Of course, these three aircraft are still invisible. At most, in the designer's conception, there is no initial blueprint. At this time, the Han Guo's fighter plane with a duck layout, the Raptor, has entered. In the research and development stage, there is already an all-metal prototype!
When I saw this fighter for the first time, I was very surprised by the unique structure of this fighter.
For example, the canard in front of it has a very large area, and it can be clearly seen that there is a gap on it. That is to say, the canard of this aircraft can be turned!
"General, our fighter plane uses movable canards." Seeing Jamal fascinated by the canards, Qin Guan on the side followed the past and explained: "Compared to fixed canards, movable canards bring In order to greatly improve mobility, for example, it can provide positive lift, which is the easiest when raising the head."
The duck layout, also known as the head-up layout, is easy to tilt your head, but it all depends on the movement of the duck wings. Once the duck wings are movable, adjustment is quite difficult due to static instability. of.
"For the control of this aircraft, we decided to use fly-by-wire control, just like in the West, using 1553B data bus." Qin Guan said of these theories, of course it was a set of sets. After all, in later generations, magazines will be read more. .
These technologies were originally the most lacking in Han, so when I heard Qin Guan say so, Lieutenant General Jamal was quite interested: "Do you already have these technologies?"
As a foil, Mr. Song has always been beside him with a smile, but he is playing drums in his heart. Qin, what you said is what we are most worried about right now.
Now, when he heard the other party’s words, Qin nodded his head:
Of course, if we don’t have these technologies, how dare we use them? A fighter plane, the proportion of new technologies cannot exceed 20%, otherwise it will be too difficult to develop. , There is a risk that it will be discarded at any time."
Qin Guan is telling the truth, a fighter plane cannot have too many new technologies, but now this Raptor fighter plane, the proportion of new technologies occupied is too big, at least 60%!
If it weren't for Qin Guan to push it forward, everyone would have no idea, especially Qin Guan said that the progress was still quite optimistic.
"In the past few years, we have not completely abandoned." Qin Guan said: "Our country has always increased its efforts in the field of aviation. Our scientific researchers are also working diligently to develop these technologies. We all have reserves."
Facing Jamal, Qin Guan continued to talk freely: "We have to catch up with the West on the third-generation aircraft. The overall performance of our fighter aircraft is definitely above the F-16. At the same time, we plan to use it for three years. In time, we will put this fighter into service as the main force of our air force."
The development time of fighter aircraft is gradually increasing. In the past, two or three years were enough to develop the second-generation aircraft, but it took more than five years for the third-generation aircraft. As for the fourth-generation aircraft, it will even reach the terrible time of about ten years. .
Qin Guan is here, but he is talking about it. In three years, this fighter can be put into service. The progress of this project is definitely not slow.
This is also dispelling the worries of the holy nation, and handing over the F404 engine to us to assemble, we will definitely complete the task! Our technology is not as unbearable as the rumors outside, we have caught up with the world's advanced trend!
"Where is its engine?" Jamal continued to ask.
"In terms of engine, we plan to use Spey." Qin Guan said: "We are now planning to improve Spey, increase its power, and increase the thrust of Spey engine to 11.5 tons to meet the needs of this fighter. The technology, if it is backward, is on the engine."
Qin Guan seeks truth from facts. The place where he lags behind is the engine. This thing cannot be accomplished overnight. It is because of the engine that the Super Seven project has to be imported from abroad. F404 is one of the alternatives.
What Qin Guan said, Jamal nodded in agreement. In the development of military aircraft, the engine is the most difficult, and the other party did not lie. Moreover, Jamal is also very interested in this newly developed fighter aircraft in Han.
"Mr Qin, do you say that its performance is stronger than F-16?" Jamal asked.
Hearing what the other party said, Qin Guan was suddenly happy.
The military expenditure of the Holy Nation is quite tight. In this case, they still ordered F-16s from the Eagle Nation. In their eyes, it is not enough to have Xiaolong.
But now, if the Raptors can be successfully developed ahead of time, the performance exceeds the F-16, and the price is cheaper than the F-16, then maybe the Holy Nation can order the Raptors.
In this way, the Raptors are elite, with a large number of Super Sevens, enough to protect the sky of the holy country, and the export of the Raptors to the outside world does not have to worry about leaks.
In Han Guo's plan, the Raptors belong to the low-end machine in the high-low match, and the Su-27Sk is considered the high-end machine.
"Of course." Qin Guan said: "About next year, our fighter will fly for the first time. At that time, I can invite you to watch our test flight again and you will know how powerful it is."
Listening to Qin Guan's words, Jamal was quite excited: "Definitely, I will come to watch the first flight of this fighter in person at that time."
When it's over, Qin always wants to pit his side.
This is not Super Seven. There is no fly-by-wire control, and it can fly with ordinary hydraulic transmission. The Raptors must use digital telex to surrender it, and the devices it needs are simply not available!
How is it possible in a year? Even if it is an outsourcing chip, it is impossible to complete the matching. At this time, Song Lao is quite disturbed.
