Super military empire

(Greatly add 6/20 for driden)

These words of Liu Yijiu made everyone understand why the meeting held behind the Soviets.

The intelligence system of the Republic is really too powerful, and even the most advanced Soviet fighter performance parameters are so thoroughly understood.

They didn’t even know that Director Liu’s information did not come from the intelligence department, but from his own mind. The appearance of the Su-27 now gave Liu Yijiu an even more unexpected harvest—designed by the Soviets. China’s fighters are so powerful, but the Republic has no one comparable.

Knowing the gap, if you still don't catch up, it will make people look down on themselves.

Before taking office, Simon Love found Liu Yijiu and talked about some of his improvements to the F-14 fighter.

Liu Yijiu didn't expect that Simon Love would have come up with results so soon.

"When I first learned about this project, I was thinking about how to improve the performance of this fighter. Our Su-27 project, from the side, looks very similar to the f14. Moreover, now The forward-swept wing is installed. It is estimated that the Americans will not think it is an F-14 if they see it." Simon Love said embarrassedly.

Liu Yijiu didn't make fun of him.

People who are purely technical can't be idle at all, especially after seeing other people making mistakes!

"Do you have any comments or suggestions for the imitation panda? You said that there is a problem at the beginning..." Liu Yijiu asked Simon Love.

If you can combine the f-14 and Su-27, this is the most ideal. Many technologies of the MiG-25 can't be used at all.

Of course, the Double Triple Project has gained a lot of technology from the MiG-25.

"Director Liu, I think that if we are just imitating, there is no need to add forward-swept wing design to the front. The forward-swept wing is only to increase the lift during takeoff. In the air, the advantage is not very obvious. Later, it will cause the complexity of the internal mechanism... In addition, there is no need to make the double vertical wings into variable wings. At present, there are two improvements. The first is to cancel the front swept wings and retain the variable wings. , The other one is to change the variable wing to a large wing, and add a forward swept wing in front..."

Simon Love introduced Liu Yijiu very seriously.

And spread out two sketches from the side for comparison.

"If you change, what are the benefits? Or, why do you want to change? As a chief designer, which solution do you think is more suitable for our current situation?" Now that the other party is in working condition, Liu Yijiu will start Think of yourself as his superior.

If you want to make drastic reforms on the entire plan as soon as you come up, naturally you have to persuade the managers to do it.

Moreover, as long as Liu Yijiu is persuaded, it will do.

In the Ninth Institute, the modification of the project is definitely much easier.

"Yes, Mr. Simon Love, isn't it better to integrate these two plans together?" Zhu Dao regards Simon Love differently now.

Especially after knowing his identity.

"On the surface, such a design scheme will greatly improve the performance of the fighter aircraft. However, because these mechanisms are too complex and difficult to operate, there are more opportunities for failure. I think this is what you are now Problems encountered!"

Simon Love's words made Zhu Hodao and Liu Yijiu both nod their heads.

Liu Yijiu just feels that this is an opportunity for them to develop stealth fighters in the future. If they start to research now, they will be able to make the technology more mature, and just try it out directly.

And the entire aircraft design team has a blind admiration for him. Even if the research is not progressing, everyone feels that it is their own level, not Liu Yijiu, the young director's guidelines.

Liu Yijiu was very embarrassed when he heard this.

He knew these problems himself, but he didn't want to face it, or admit it.

This has caused a serious delay in the progress of imitating the f-14.

"Moreover, this will actually reduce performance a lot. Adding a retractable triangular forward-swept wing at the front will increase a part of the weight. The rear double vertical tail becomes variable, and the weight will also increase, which is complicated to operate. Needless to say, just the increase in weight will reduce the performance of the entire aircraft a lot. Especially if the machining accuracy is not up to date, not only will it not improve flexibility, but will cause more serious consequences..."

Simon Love is not welcome and said directly.

There is nothing wrong with Liu Yijiu's improvement plan.

What is wrong is that it is totally unrealistic to make such a design based on the current basic conditions in China.

"Cancel the forward swept wings, cancel the variable performance of the double vertical tails, and retain the variable swept wings. This is a complete imitation. The performance of the f-14 is indeed advanced, much more advanced than the f-15 currently replaced in the United States, but the operation is complicated. It is difficult to train pilots. At the same time, maintenance is even more difficult and the cost is very high. The Chinese Air Force cannot afford such maintenance costs..."

What Simon Love said was very realistic.

Liu Yijiu's research did not consider whether the Republic could afford it or not.

Most of the equipment in the entire Ninth Academy is like this.

Longwei tanks, even if they are only sold to the military at a "ultra-low" price of 6 million, the military cannot equip them too much. One hundred vehicles will cost 600 million!You know, the entire China's military expenditure is less than 5 billion U.S. dollars a year, and it has to spend more than 4 million troops on food, drink, and clothing training!

At the same time, we have to pay for the technical research and development of military equipment...

The Soviets are pragmatists, just like they made the MiG-25 out of stainless steel, everything is for low cost and easy to use.

The American Blackbird reconnaissance plane is because the cost of titanium alloy is too high, otherwise they would have made such a fighter plane.

"If a forward-swept wing is installed, a large-size *** close-coupling canard front wing aerodynamic layout is adopted, the main wing and the middle of the fuselage are combined with a wing-body design, and the front end of the tail nozzle is equipped with an external ventral fin. , Cooperate with the vertical wing to maintain the stability of the aircraft when flying at high angles of attack..." Simon Love talked endlessly about his improvement plan to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu was stunned.

Completely confused.

Because this aircraft, if it is only a single-engine, if the air inlet is changed to belly air intake, this thing is the Republic's first three-generation fighter, and it is also the fighter that has inspired countless Chinese people-the J-10!

In other words, Simon Love’s design is a heavy-duty twin-engine version of the J-10?

Nima, if this continues, is the panda still a panda?

Called Jianshi?

If Song Lao knew, would he have been hacked?

"Director Liu, Director Liu..." Seeing Liu Yijiu wandering around the world, Simon Love stopped introducing his plan.The kind people on the side screamed softly, and Liu Yijiu came back to his senses after several times.

Liu Yijiu was a little embarrassed, and when he listened to this, he lost his mind.

"Simon Love, what if I tell you that there is an order for the f-14?" With a fart order, Liu Yijiu wanted to make the f-14 stronger.

Everyone who likes pandas deeply regrets the fate of pandas in their hearts.

Moreover, in order not to be accused by the United States of stealing their technology, Liu Yijiu didn't want to copy the F-14 directly.

After so many years, he really didn't want this project to be abandoned.

"We can continue to test the flight while improving..." Simon Love said without hesitation, "Even if there is an order, the Iranians cannot purchase more. Repairs are too difficult. Now in the Iran-Iraq War, the Iranians can The number of F-14s taking off is getting fewer and fewer. It’s because the maintenance support is too complicated. If the variable swept wing is changed to a large one, it will not only reduce weight and improve performance, but also Reduce technical difficulty..."

Simon Love's tone was not strong, he just told Liu Yijiu the benefits of doing so.

Why didn't Liu Yijiu know?

Even the kindness is clear.

Zhu Houdao wanted to tell Liu Yijiu, how about let's get another project?It was estimated that Liu Yijiu would slap him directly, but he did not say in the end.

"Then this project is abandoned?"

"No. While conducting test flights, we will also carry out modifications. Variable swept wings and variable tail wings. These technologies can be studied. When the technology is mature and the cost is reduced, it can be applied to our fighters. That..." Simon Love said very sincerely.

Moreover, he has drawn a sketch on the map.

"How much time will it take to solve these problems? What I want to know is, if this is improved, how much performance will this fighter lag behind compared to the Su-27?" Liu Yijiu pondered for a long time, took a deep breath, and faced Simon Love. Asked.

This question is not just for Simon Love to evaluate his own performance. Liu Yijiu is also testing whether Simon Love is credible and whether it is really to help China design the most advanced fighter aircraft.

Zhu Hodao looked at Liu Yijiu in surprise. He never thought that Liu Yijiu didn't trust Simon Love.

But when he didn’t trust him, let Simon Love be the chief designer who copied and improved the work of the f-14. Is this his luck or misfortune?

Moreover, everyone can guarantee that Simon Love would not think that Liu Yijiu's intelligence work was so good.

Simon Love looked at Liu Yijiu, a little embarrassed, and was silent for a long time. Liu Yijiu didn't speak at all, and even the kindness did not dare to breathe.

"I don't know the final improved performance of Su-27. If you want to make a comparison, you can only do it theoretically. When I first designed it, a lot of improvements were not done, and a lot of performance testing was still Not finished..." Finally, Simon Love said with a wry smile.
