Chapter 509: Very good at business
In the previous air battles, the emphasis was on the continuous confrontation between the two sides, so it was very important to circle steadily, and everyone chased each other for two or three laps to see who could win if they turned faster, and this was the era of stable circling.
However, this era has passed, and the current air combat does not need to be faster than anyone who continues to circle, as long as it is faster than anyone who circles in an instant, the nose of the aircraft only needs to turn half a circle, aiming at you, or when my missile can be launched, I will launch the missile directly, why am I going around in circles with you if I have nothing to do?
At this time, it is the best instantaneous disk, which has an advantage over a stable disk, a conventional fighter, and a powerful aircraft has a greater advantage, but it is definitely the strength of the canard layout fighter than the instantaneous disk.
Do Americans understand airplanes? They are actually not comparable to Israel, just look at how many wars Israel fought after the end of World War II.
The Israeli Air Force has always been tested by the flames of war, they are the ones who understand the needs of war best, and they can also keenly see the development of war; now, when it comes to the uselessness of canard wings, it can only be said that they will not look at the problem from the perspective of development, just like in the past, according to experience, they have always said that air-to-air missiles are useless, and it is enough to have a cannon to engage in combat, and then you can see how the advanced Israeli Air Force abused the Soviet Union's second-generation aircraft on the battlefield in the Bekaa Valley.
In fact, now the canard layout of the fighter, the aviation powers are engaged in, even the Soviet Union, has begun the research and development of the MiG 1.44 project, their aircraft against the United States' fourth-generation aircraft, using the aerodynamic layout recommended by the Central Institute of Fluidics, is the canard layout!
European countries are also engaged in it, only the Americans can't look down on it, because the United States has a world-class aviation design level, and the Americans' aviation research and development is standing at the highest peak, for example, when other countries are still working hard for the thrust-to-weight ratio of 8 engines, the United States has now begun to pre-develop the thrust-to-weight ratio of 10 engines, according to the Americans, as long as the engine is powerful, the bricks can fly into the sky, for such a country that is simply against the sky to extraterrestrial technology, Can people do it with an unconventional duck layout? The regular layout has been played well in the hands of others.
"Actually, the Americans have also engaged in a duck layout." At this moment, Song Lao spoke.
Song Lao has always had a soft spot for the duck layout, of course, the research and development of the world's major powers, that is, quite concerned, although there can only be some outdated news, the news disclosed by others, even so, is meaningful.
"In World War II, they had the XP-55, a canard layout fighter, which was an outlier in the propeller era, of course, because of handling problems, it still failed in the end." Song Lao said: "At that time, the XP-55 of the United States, the Henscher HsP.75 of Germany, the Max M.35 of the United Kingdom, the Ambrosini .4 of Italy and the J7W1 of Japan were the top five heroes of the canard wing of the year. ”
With a large propeller behind the buttocks, the main wing in the back, and the canard wing in front, this layout of the fighter was studied back then, but in the absence of fly-by-wire control, it was absolutely impossible to respond by manpower, and most of the prototypes crashed because of the operation.
It wasn't until there was fly-by-wire control that it continued.
"Later, the Americans had the XB-70, a bomber with a canard layout, and for the sake of trimming, a rather special wing was made, but, unfortunately, it did not enter service."
"A few years ago, the Americans also engaged in the X-29A, this kind of aircraft is not only a canard wing layout, but also a forward-swept wing model, this special aircraft, should still be in test flights, our Israeli colleagues, should be the most clear."
Song Lao said that the Americans' duck layout aircraft won the approval of their Israeli counterparts: "That's right, although this aircraft is a technical verification machine, it also proves that the Americans have also invested a lot of money in the study of the duck layout, and they are also engaged in it." ”
This aircraft is even more advanced, not just canards, but forward-swept wings.
In the beginning, the wings were straight, and later, in order to break through the sound barrier, it was necessary to have swept wings, until now, but the planes with the wings forward have not been seen.
Forward-swept wings offer many advantages in terms of maneuverability, and the advent of high-strength composite materials has made the manufacture of such wings a reality, and Grumman has built this technology demonstrator, which has been in test flights.
A lot of the Americans' words are fooling people, just like the theory that aircraft carriers are useless.
"So, we firmly believe that we are on the right track and that we will succeed in this aircraft." Saraf said.
"The avionics of this aircraft are all developed by you." Song Lao continued.
In China, the research and development of the fuselage has been carried out for a long time, and the engine is now also intended to rely on the turbojet-15, so it is very important to have avionics.
"Yes, this fighter completely adopts our integrated avionics system, which relies on the MIL-STD-1553 data bus for overall signal transmission, using the MIL-STD-1750 sixteen-bit central processing unit of Lada Electronic Industries, the radar warning receiver of Ellisla Company, the airborne navigation system of Taman Company, of course, its most critical is Elta's EL/M2032 multi-modal pulse Doppler radar, this radar system, It is also the key to the powerful performance of our fighters. ”
After Saraf finished speaking, he glanced at Ward, and Ward's mouth-like explanation at noon finally played a role, and here, it turned into an important sentence: "We know that you are in urgent need of airborne radar systems, so if you need it, we can sell this radar to you, the price is not high, and the whole set, including display equipment, etc., only needs fifteen million dollars for a set." ”
It is clear that the Jews are the most business-savvy, and they keenly discovered the weak point in the equipment of the squadron, which is the lack of advanced airborne radar!
Therefore, although their radar is under development, it can also be sold for money, and the asking price is not high, only fifteen million.
But what, when these words entered everyone's ears, they were like thunder, what, fifteen million, just buy a set of radar equipment?
How expensive does this have to be?
The F-16 fighters that the Americans are selling are only 10 million each, although the engines are not powerful, but everything else is a good thing, the full set is only 10 million, in your case, just one radar, it will cost so much?
