Chapter 731: Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory
This meeting was of great significance in China, and it finally determined the determination of the country to march toward a world-class air force and equip it with world-class third-generation advanced fighters.
Officially inspect the Su-27!
Last time, the Soviets were not prepared to let the Chinese come into contact with the Su-27 fighter, if it were not for the chance encounter in the Gromov test flight institute, everyone would not have seen the Su-27 at all, even at that time, the domestic inspection group was just a horse and a flower, after a few glances, people took off, they could only go around outside, they had not seen it at all, the specific performance of this aircraft, and even more so did not know anything, except for the wonderful performance at the air show, there was nothing else.
Now, since you have decided to make a formal purchase, of course, you have to go to the inspection once before purchasing.
It's like buying a car, you have to take it for a test drive.
The armament department of the General Staff Department was even more impatient, and just after informing the Soviet side, a new inspection group was set up, and this time it went to the Soviet Union with only one task, that is, to inspect the Su-27 and basically find out the technical status and characteristics of the combat use of this aircraft.
"Brother Feng, it's really an honor to go with you this time." Tang Gang was on the plane, and couldn't help but sigh and say, Qin Feng has visited many times, but this is the first time for Tang Gang, he can go to the Soviet Union to investigate, this opportunity is simply too rare.
On the plane, Tang Gang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
"It's not my reason, it's your own efforts, this time the selection is all elite soldiers, I don't count, it's a formal assessment and selection, and soon, you may go to the Gromov Test Flight Institute for test flight training, you have to come on, let's go to the test flight together when the time comes."
Tang Gang nodded vigorously: "Well, I will work hard." ”
In the past, I said that I would go to the West for training, but I didn't make the trip for a long time, but now, the training at the Gromov Test Flight Academy can be achieved quickly, and Qin Feng can't stop being excited when he thinks that he can go to this kind of world-class test flight test academy for training.
"We test pilots, we have to learn more, the test flight of the third-generation aircraft is very different from the past, including the Su-27 this time, this kind of aircraft is also controlled by fly-by-wire." Qin Feng continued.
The advantages of fly-by-wire control, when he tested the Phantom 2000, Qin Feng realized that now he wants to test fly the Su-27, which is also fly-by-wire control, but it is a three-degree of simulation, compared with the Phantom 2000, there is a generation difference, and the digital fly-by-wire developed by his own side is also a generation difference, and under the advanced appearance of the Su-27, it cannot hide the backwardness of its electronic technology.
At the meeting, General Liu set the tone, the introduction and self-development do not conflict, after the introduction, it can help you improve the level of self-development, but here in Qin Feng, there is another idea, your own self-development, in many cases, can also promote the introduction of fighters.
For example, the electronic system developed by the self-developed side is actually more advanced than the Su-27, until now, the Su-27 is still using the backward inverted card antenna, but the side has overcome the processing technology of the flat slot radar antenna, so can you replace this antenna, and then make the radar performance of the Su-27 more advanced?
Of course, this is just a temporary thought, Qin Feng is no longer a layman, rashly modify the original aircraft parts, how much work needs to be done, Qin Feng knows, his own J-7, modified the internal electronic system, originally reduced the weight, but in order to counterweight, but also to the nose of the additional cement ballast, I have to add more than 100 kilograms of additional cement ballast, I modified the wing of the J-7 this time, the workload is even more rapidly increased, my own idea is very simple, to implement, it is a very complex system engineering, if you do not understand the original design, Your own hasty changes will inevitably bring a series of problems.
Qin Feng was like this, chatting with Tang Gang, and the time on the plane passed, after all, the place he was going to this time was not the part of the Soviet Union in Europe, but in the Far East.
The Mikoyan Design Bureau is located in Moscow, and the factory is also near Moscow, but the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not, the Sukhoi plant is mainly located in the Far East, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Khabarovsk Territory, the famous "Yuri Gagarin" aircraft factory, named after a space hero, is enough to highlight the status of this aircraft factory.
(It is commonly known as the convention, and it will be called Komsomolsk later.) )
The Komsomolsk Aircraft Factory was born in 1936, and a few years later, the brutal Great Patriotic War of the USSR broke out, and it was in this war that its role was highlighted, when the entire European part of the USSR fell and could only rely on the Far East for blood transfusions, and the factory here also developed rapidly, and throughout the Great Patriotic War, it mainly produced Tebo-2 bombers.
When the war ended, in 1957, it was identified as the assembly plant of Sukhoi fighters, of course, because the main domestic fighter is MiG, so at this time it was also unknown, so that until 1981, the Su-27 was mass-produced for the first time from here, it became the most dazzling aircraft factory in the Soviet Union, and, until later generations, it was also the star factory of the Soviet Union, it can be said that this factory, almost half of the Soviet fighter industry, no, is more than half.
The Su-27 and Su-30 series fighters ordered from the Soviet Union in China are almost all produced from here, with only one exception, that is, the Su-27UBK combat trainer aircraft, which was assembled by the Irkutsk aircraft factory, in that special era, they even had a lot of conflicts, and the Komsomolsk plant can also produce trainer aircraft, and they will also produce it, if they produce the trainer type, then Irkutsk will definitely have to go out of business.
Later, the two sides fought with each other, until they reached the highest level, and then the trainer type was allocated to Iltskuk, and then India ordered a large number of Su-30ki, that is, the Su-30 family with three wings, which can be regarded as saving the plant.
Now, the delegation of the Air Force, naturally, went to the Komsomolsk plant, the largest assembly plant for Su-27 series aircraft. In the future, when an aircraft is ordered, it will definitely be produced from this factory, so that after it is manufactured, it can fly directly from the aircraft factory to China.
From the sky, there are dense forests everywhere, most of them are natural forests, with a history of many years, a river flows forward, this is the Amur River, in fact, and the domestic Heilongjiang, originally a one, the name is different, Komsomolsk, is located on the riverside.
