Chapter 598: J-8 2

In the development of fighter aircraft, a very important job is drawing, and in the old industrial base, there are a large group of draftsmen.
Mechanical drawings have an innate sense of beauty. For example, in aviation magazines, you can see the structural drawings of various airplanes, which is dazzling and makes people feel extremely fresh.
That's just a thumbnail. In the design office, the drawings that are designed are often from Jimmy Factory. Anxie draftsmen are holding plotters and drawing meticulously on the drawing board. There are dozens of people in the large room. The scene where hundreds of people are drawing together is a beautiful scenery.
Now, on this three-meter-long flat plate is a huge drawing. This drawing shows a large-scale fighter plane.
"This is our J-8-2 project." Mr. Gu said: "We know the needs of the Air Force, and we also know that it is impossible to rely on foreign countries. Therefore, based on our own research, we have developed the most advanced dual-engine in China. Heavy fighter, please read the drawings carefully."
In the air, Cai Guoqing, Qin Guan is certainly aware of this aircraft.
For Han, the biggest threat is the bombers from Xiong. Now the relationship with Xiong is the most tense. Xiong may tear his face at any time and enter a state of war with Han.
Therefore, for the Han Air Force, how to defend its airspace is the most important if it intercepts Xiong’s bombers. Before the easing of relations with the Eagle, Han can only rely on itself.
The previous fighters all died due to high indicators, but the J-8 project survived because it was hardly self-developed, and it was an imitation and improvement project.
Specifically, the appearance is very similar to the MiG 21, but it is elongated. It is equipped with two turbojet-7A engines with a lengthened nose. Through this improvement, it can obtain the long-range interception most needed by Han. ability.
It has a range of 2,200 kilometers, which is the furthest of the Han Air Force. As for the J-7, it is only 1,480 kilometers. After the auxiliary fuel tank is added, it will be even further.
Due to the use of two engines, its acceleration performance has been greatly improved, and the top speed has also been increased to Mach 2.2. However, its air combat capability is completely scum.
The nose of the air intake cannot accommodate large-caliber radars, and it has no long-range interception capability. At the same time, due to the slender body, taking care of the high altitude and high speed, the maneuverability is very poor. The interceptor is not born for air combat at all. Yes, just to intercept enemy bombers.
Even for this aircraft, it has gone through hardships. The prototype made its first flight on July 5, 1969, and it took a long time to complete its design and finalization in 1979 and enter service in 1980.
But now, the most is the finalization of this prototype. Not to mention that although it is finalized for service, there are still countless problems of various sizes. Let's first say that it has no all-weather combat capability at all, and it is definitely a tasteless existence.
Therefore, in history, there were not many J-8s in the Air Force, and the main model was J-8-2.
Compared with the prototype, in addition to using the turbojet-13A engine with further increased thrust, the biggest change is that the air intake is changed to the air intake layout on both sides of the fuselage, thereby freeing up space in the nose to install a larger fire control radar. And more electronic devices.
Although its flight performance is not good, it has a big head and can be equipped with advanced radar, so in later generations, although Qi Ye is retiring one after another, Ba Ye is still the backbone of the old and the strong.
According to the historical progress, now the J-8 primary model has just been born, but now, if they continue to engage in this kind of nose air intake, the Air Force will definitely not like it.
Who could have imagined that they actually got the J-8-2 out.
The nose was changed to air intake on both sides, leaving a huge space for the radar to use. Now, instead of the historical peace model project, Han has already begun to build its own radar, which can be used for 6611. , Of course, it can also be used for 6601, and, because of its larger nose, so the size of the antenna that can accommodate the radar is also larger, which has better detection capabilities.
"We have contacted 114 Institute in charge of radar development. According to them, the size of the radar that can be loaded on the nose of our aircraft exceeds 900 millimeters, and its detection capability can exceed 150 kilometers. , It may reach 200 kilometers."
What China needs most is long-range interception capability. This interception capability is closely related to radar, and the performance of radar is closely related to caliber.
The larger the nose, the larger the diameter of the radar antenna that can be accommodated, and the farther you can see.
Although these claims are a bit exaggerated, anyway, it hasn't been installed yet. After it is developed, maybe the performance can be improved?
This picture seems to be quite smooth. Of course Qin Guan knows that drawing is a basic skill at the 6601 Institute. They often hold drawing contests to see who draws more beautiful pictures.
Yes, designing the structure of the aircraft is very important, but it is more important to make the pictures look good. This is a face project. Now, this beautiful picture really attracted the attention of the top Air Force.
It's a pity, they only look at whether the lines are smooth, don't they see how blunt the grafting is?
Last year, Qin Guan visited the MiG-23 together. At that time, Qin couldn't watch the MiG-23, so he exchanged both the Raptors and the Blue Sharks in order to achieve a major advancement in his own aviation industry.
Now, the Raptors project is progressing smoothly, but the Blue Shark has not made any progress, and these people are clever enough to directly graft the MiG-23's nose to the J-8 fighter.
Look at how stiff the air intake on both sides is, and then look at the force beams, which are beautifully bent, can they withstand it? The fighter plane is flying with high maneuverability and cannot disintegrate?
"In this way, one of our J-8 fighters can be as effective as two Raptors. Moreover, our aircraft has a fairly mature technology. The prototype of the J-8 has been finalized. With this modification, we can It takes a year to make it. As long as the funds are in place, we will be able to complete all its improvement projects soon, and I can issue a military warrant."
There was a gleam on Mr. Gu's face. After all, it was just a change of the nose. Very quickly, the back was done, and the front was all right.
The Air Force needs high-speed long-range interceptors. Although the Raptors look more beautiful, what's the use? No one can see far, no one can fly fast!
"Well, this plan can be discussed at a meeting of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and we should also discuss the development of air force equipment." Minister Mo who was present had already decided.
The equipment belongs to the Air Force, but the meeting is to be launched at the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and some technical experts are required to demonstrate. In such a meeting, 6601 takes advantage of it, because the people inside are very familiar.
