Chapter 748: Modified trainer

When Qin Guan heard this, his heart moved.
The national power is still not sufficient, and the country still needs to carry out economic construction. Therefore, the country can not invest a lot of funds in scientific research. Now, under its own proposal, the engines of the third-generation aircraft have started to compete. Then, the initial investment is also Will be bigger.
Therefore, under this circumstance, the country has absolutely no ability to support new engine development projects.
The F-14 fighter was originally an export-oriented aircraft. This aircraft was not intended to be equipped domestically. The number of the F-14 was also a fool. In this case, no one was willing to give the F Fourteen special engines have been developed.
It is said that the F-14 fighter jet will become the main force for foreign exchange earning through exports, and if the supporting F404 engine can be simulated by surveying, mapping, it will be easier to export. However, the country has no energy for the time being. This is the dilemma now facing.
Only when the domestic big push comes out, can we free our hands for the middle push.
In fact, Zhongtui is also useful. When it comes to the stage of drone development, the power of Zhongtui is just right, and Qin Guan also has plans, but it's not working yet.
Now that we have to change the engine for the other party, in the process of improvement, we will understand the technology of the other side's engine, and simply produce a batch of them to solve the engine problem for exporting the F-14?
I have to say, this is really a good idea of ​​opportunism.
"Yes." Qin Guan said: "When we sell the F-14, we are limited to the engine. If the target country cannot negotiate a contract for the F404 and RB199 engines, we can also have a backup plan."
The people present were overjoyed. Although the turbojet is not powerful, it can at least solve the problem of existence!
"President Qin, we will continue to promote the export of equipment to the Holy Nation, and at the same time provide the supporting equipment for the David Nation, and strive for our F-14 fighters to obtain one by one export results and earn valuable foreign exchange." Tu Lao Said.
Qin nodded his point of view: "Our North Industries Corporation will take the F-14 fighter as the main export market. We are looking forward to becoming a leading product and supporting missile systems. We are also developing it. Of course, our F-14 fighter has great potential. big."
When talking about great potential, Qin Guan suddenly remembered something.
"Elder Tu, you said, our air force, what is still missing?"
Qin Guan’s questioning had his own intentions. Elder Tu pondered over it carefully and said,
Our Air Force is finally going to enter the ranks of the third-generation aircraft. We have the J-10 and J-11, two fighters, light and heavy. The main weapon has been changed. Our brother unit is also developing the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber. If it is lacking, I am afraid it is a large transport aircraft. This, we can wait for the progress of the Yunshi."
Qin Guan shook his head: "Old Tu, you have forgotten one important point, our pilot training."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Tu Lao immediately understood: "Chief Qin, you mean the trainer?"
Qin nodded his opinion: "Our country, or the whole world, the trainer of the third generation aircraft is still a blank."
After all, the third-generation aircraft have only begun to be equipped, and the supporting trainer is of course a blank, and this blank will have a great impact.
Pilots, the pride of heaven, cannot fly fighter jets as soon as they come up.
Simply speaking of the training of a pilot, after the theoretical study of the aviation school, the first thing to fly is the propeller trainer. The domestic elementary school five is such a role.
On the propeller plane, after completing the initial basic flight operations, it will be transferred to the jet trainer.
In the previous eras of the F5 and F6, the corresponding trainer was built directly, and it was enough to fly up. This type of aircraft can also be used as a middle school.
But then?
After flying the jet trainer, it is very dangerous to fly directly to the third-generation aircraft.
This also requires advanced trainers.
In China, this is completely blank. After all, the output of the J-7 is not large, and the main force is the J-6.
It was not until the 1980s that on the basis of the J-7, the two-seater J-7 was developed in China to train the pilots of the J-7.
That’s right, it’s okay to train the pilots of the J-7, but if you want to fly the third-generation aircraft, you still need the corresponding model training. Take the later Han, for example, after the introduction of the Su-27, because there is no efficient instructor Therefore, the two-seater aircraft was directly used as a trainer to fly, and then a single-seater fighter was flown. This greatly resulted in the waste of fighters. The Su-27s that were introduced in the early days soon flew to the fuselage and were scrapped. The main reason was that they came to train a lot of pilots.
If there is a special advanced trainer aircraft to simulate the various characteristics of the third-generation aircraft, so that after flying the higher education aircraft, and then board the corresponding fighter, it can greatly save the service life of the fighter.
In the later generations, Han State entered the new century and finally produced two higher education aircraft, the FCT2000 "Shanying". This aircraft is almost a variant of the J-7. Although the performance is lower, the operation is easy.
The other is the L15 Red Eagle. The shape of this aircraft is quite advanced, which meets the characteristics of the third-generation aircraft and has a better technical level. However, it is trapped by engine problems and needs to be purchased from abroad. At the same time, the cost is high, so it has not been available. Order.
Because the research manufacturers at the time did not want to understand, for a trainer, high performance is not the most important thing, the most important thing is cost performance.
So, can the current J-14 be converted into a trainer, can it meet the needs?
In later generations, the discussion about the conversion of Xiaolong into a trainer has never stopped. After all, Xiaolong is a light fighter. It seems a normal idea to modify a trainer on a two-seater basis.
The question is whether it is necessary or not. After all, the Han National Air Force at that time had already begun to purchase the Mountain Eagle on a large scale, and the low cost was one of the big reasons.
"Chief Qin, do you mean to use our J-14 to improve a trainer?" Tu asked, "The main purpose of this trainer is to train our third-generation pilots?"
Thinking of this, he was already excited. After all, this aircraft has been locked for export and will not be equipped in China. However, if it becomes a qualified trainer, it will continue to receive Air Force orders, although it is based on export. , They actually want to equip the domestic air force.
Qin nodded his point of view: "Yes, to be precise, it is a combat trainer." Qin Guan said: "We retain all the combat capabilities of our F-14, and at the same time have the ability to train pilots, and add ground attack capabilities. , One machine has multiple functions. Of course, this is just my idea."
Qin Guan really did not think about it. It is only Qin Guan’s idea. There are vacancies in domestic higher education machines. There are also vacancies in higher education machines in the world. Compared with the two-seater type that directly flies the third-generation machine, it is still vacant. The training cost of this trainer is lower.
This requires coordination.
