A fighter plane, the first flight can actually do this! Let Qin Feng be extremely admired, think about the first flight of Jian-10, it was like parting with life and death, for fear that Qin Feng would fall down in the end after going up, but now, this first flight, began to do a maneuver performance!

There are many reasons, for example, when the J-10 made its first flight, the biggest problem was fly-by-wire, after all, it was the first time in China, but when it came to Xiaolong, the fly-by-wire flight control has matured, especially, it only uses fly-by-wire in the longitudinal direction, and the other directions are still hydraulic transmission, so what can be the problem?

Now, the first flight of the Thunder Dragon is so exciting, everyone looks at the video, they are extremely excited, the second domestic aircraft, has been built!

"The dragons have made their first flight, and our Jian-10 must also work harder!" Qin Feng said: "The last subject, it must be pretty!" ”

Everyone was holding back their strength, and their hearts were full of excitement.

So far, J-10 is still a secret project, although the outside world has guessed the existence of this fighter, but it has never been officially confirmed, in contrast, the Thunder Dragon is different, as soon as the Thunder Dragon came out, it was built for export, so the first flight of this fighter was unveiled in front of the news media, and it was widely reported at home and abroad.

Of course, this is also to be able to sell this aircraft, of course, from the time of the test flight, it will be vigorously promoted.

Which of the two layouts is better?

In fact, there is no question of good or bad, only the problem of need, every country, there is the actual situation of each country, they have their own needs, different needs, the results are different, the maximum flight speed of the Thunder Dragon is not high, the bomb load is not large, but there is the fighting performance and over-the-horizon interception performance that Lao Ba values the most, and at the same time, the price is low, it is their most suitable choice, and it is produced in their own country, which can improve the level of their aviation industry.

"I think they still need AWACS." The meeting had already ended, Qin Feng said in a low voice.

The Faircom early warning aircraft originally purchased from Israel can effectively enhance the combat capability of the Air Force, but as a result, under the intervention of the United States, Israel canceled the contract, which deeply stimulated the domestic military industry.

And what about those Filcons? Israel packaged and sold it to India, yes, it was originally equipped with the domestic air force, but now it has flown into the hands of the Indians, which makes the domestic military industry feel a kind of shame.

India's military strength is already much stronger than that of Pakistan, and now, they have obtained early warning aircraft, and the country has a huge number of MiG-29, Mirage-2000 and Su-30, so Pakistan is still in an absolute weakness, and they want to improve their air force, there is no doubt that they need early warning aircraft to help.

"Yes, they need AWACS aircraft, but their financial resources can't afford strategic AWACS aircraft." Song Lao said on the side: "After all, strategic early warning aircraft are too valuable. ”

Strategic early warning aircraft, often hundreds of millions of dollars, even the domestic can not bear it, the number of equipment is in the single digits, if they want to equip it, it is absolutely impossible, so if they want to procure, they can only be tactical early warning aircraft.

Now, there are a lot of tactical early warning aircraft in the world, especially the most famous Swedish Saab early warning aircraft, which uses a stick like a stick on the back of the aircraft, so that it has the least impact on aerodynamics, according to the shape of this stick, this early warning aircraft is also named balance beam.

The reason why the disc is not used is because it uses a phased array radar, which can be made into various shapes in the same way as Ferkang, but it is still flawed when it is made into a stick, and it can only be seen on both sides, and there are blind spots in the front and rear.

Now, Qin Feng heard Song Lao's words, and he also had a lot of ideas in his heart, we are now developing an early warning aircraft, after success, can we develop a tactical early warning aircraft? After all, the motherland is vast, there is a vast airspace that needs early warning aircraft to patrol, and a few strategic early warning aircraft are simply not enough!

With such a thought, Qin Feng walked out of the conference room and heard a voice in his ears: "Brother! ”

Qin Xue? Qin Feng was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?" Haven't you been busy with AWACS for the past few years? ”

I haven't seen her for a few years, Qin Xue has become thinner, it seems that in the past few years, she has been busy with work and working day and night, Qin Feng looked at Qin Xue with concern in her eyes: "You have to pay more attention to your body!" ”

"For our Tianzi No. 1 project, everyone is holding back a lot of energy, day and night, no, we have finally completed the hardware assembly of the early warning aircraft, and we will start to test flights in the future." Qin Xue said: "In the future, I will be here again, and we will have a long test flight." ”

The early warning aircraft, like the original eye 1471 radar, was initially saved, only the first step of the long march, after the accumulated, it will be tested, and if it is saved for three years, the test may take six years, and there will be all kinds of problems waiting for them, and they must continue to debug, constantly run in, and constantly optimize, and finally be able to achieve the design goal.

When they were tinkering with radar, Qin Xue and Zhiqiang spent unforgettable working hours on the An-72 transport aircraft, cold, tired, and malfunctioning did not hinder them, they finally completed the research and development of airborne radar, and now, Qin Xue is also ready for the test flight of the early warning aircraft that is about to begin!

"Really?" Qin Feng was very happy: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and this key model of early warning aircraft flew over after nightfall, and had already entered the hangar, under the leadership of Qin Xue, Qin Feng almost trotted all the way to the early warning aircraft.

It still uses the Il-76 as a platform, after all, this is already the largest air platform that can be obtained in China, and at the same time, it also has a precedent for modifying early warning aircraft, Russia's A-50 is used to improve, and now, China has also imported a lot of this aircraft from Russia, so, of course, this aircraft has become the most ideal improvement platform for domestic early warning aircraft.

Standing in front of this huge transport plane, Qin Feng looked at the huge radome at his head, and his heart was surging.

Without adopting the way of Ferkang, the AWACS aircraft that returned to the normal big plate again looks really handsome!
