Chapter 334: Inspecting F-16
Although the overall level of science and technology in Huaxia is not high, Huaxia still has forward-looking research in some aspects, such as quantum communication, which has been put into practical use before Andre crossed in the later generations, which is simply a scientific and technological project of the Zenith! In order to study this technology, Huaxia naturally spent many years, and now, it has been conducting basic research for more than ten years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the reform of China, the country's focus is on economic development, many projects have been cut, this quantum communication technology, although it will not be cut, the allocation has begun to decrease, is in the trough of research, at this time, the Soviet Union can be negotiated, consider the introduction of this technology from China.
In addition to quantum communication, Huaxia is also in the world's advanced ranks in the miniaturization of nuclear weapons, and even the United Kingdom is amazed by Huaxia's technology and negotiated its introduction.
The negotiations with Huaxia will involve many aspects, and now it is time for the side to prepare in advance!
………
United States, General Dynamics.
During the Cold War, the relationship between China and the United States was always at a low ebb, but now, a large number of yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese people have appeared here, and they can't help but make the Americans they meet look sideways, they look at the top management of their own companies, as well as a group of personnel from the Air Force, who are accompanying these people on inspection.
F-16, this is the latest fighter developed by the United States! It can be said that since the beginning of this year, there have only been a few test flights that have just been completed, finalized, and equipped with the US Air Force.
Now, Huaxia has introduced this fighter, which can be said to be synchronized with the world all of a sudden.
Now, in the final assembly workshop, looking at the F-16 fighters that have been assembled, everyone in China has a longing in their eyes. Not to mention anything else, just look at the cockpit canopy, there is no partition in front, it is one! In this way, the pilot has a good forward view and will not be blocked by the metal bulkhead!
However, this requires the glass of the cockpit canopy to have high mechanical strength, and the bulkhead of the second-generation aircraft is actually to ensure the strength of the cockpit, so as not to encounter the impact of birds in the take-off and landing stage and hit the cockpit canopy, it can be said that the manufacture of the aircraft is closely related to the industrial level of the whole country, and the introduction of F-16, advanced glass processing industry, also needs to be introduced simultaneously.
"Our fighter is completely born for air combat." Jackson, a representative of GM who accompanied him, said: "Our canopy has greatly improved the visibility, and our cockpit is also well-designed, with the seats tilted back and the double rods arranged on both sides to maximize the pilot's overload capacity." ”
The personnel of the inspection group stepped on the ladder in turn, looking at the cockpit inside, the simple instrument is completely different from the layout of Huaxia, and the form of the cockpit is full of beauty.
"Well, it looks good." Mr. Tang, who came together, kept boasting: "This is indeed the fighter we need, if we introduce this fighter, we can improve our overall industrial level." ”
"How many Sparrow missiles can this fighter carry?" Mr. Song, the designer of Cheng Fei who came with him, asked the American personnel.
Sparrow Missiles! Hearing this, Jackson couldn't help but say: "Our fighter is mainly used for close-range combat, we have 9G overload, high-thrust engines and advanced combat missiles, and it is the most advanced fighter in the United States." ”
Sidestep the question!
"Does this aircraft have medium-range interception capabilities?" General Zhang, the commander of the Air Force who was traveling with him, asked.
"Well, not yet." "Our radar lacks a continuous-wave illuminator to guide Sparrow missiles, so we don't have the ability to launch Sparrow missiles for the time being, but we can still have that capability after improvement," Jackson said. ”
Doesn't have the ability to launch medium-range missiles! When this sentence was heard in the ears of all the Chinese people, their faces changed, and after a long time, this thing is used for fighting! No matter how strong your fighting ability is, you can't meet your own needs! What you need is not only a bayonet that can fight, but also an airplane that can throw guns!
Even Shen Fei's Mr. Tang couldn't hold it on his face, and he remembered that it seemed that the document that Bush showed him did not have the content of firing medium-range bombs!
"Hey, why don't you have engines installed on the planes on the assembly line?" Another Huaxia personnel questioned that all the fighters had empty rear fuselages.
"This..."Jackson was already cursing those guys at the top in his heart, and the Huaxia side sent representatives to investigate, why didn't he inform himself earlier! It's good to pretend and prepare.
Last time, the F-15 had a serious engine failure on the island, all the F-15s were grounded, and the F100 engines had to be greatly improved before they could continue to be put into service, while the F-16 on its own, now using the same engine as the F-15, was also facing the problem of no engine available.
So, now it's all about building the airframe, delivering it to the Air Force, waiting for the engine to arrive, and then installing a new one.
"We have a problem with the production capacity of the engine, so it has not been installed yet." Place, chief of staff of the US Air Force on the side, said: "However, the fighters exported to you will use mature J79 engines and will not face this kind of problem." ”
It can only be said that it is a production capacity problem, but can it really be said that it is a technical defect? If the Soviets knew, they didn't know how to laugh at their own side!
However, it is precisely because of the serious technical problems of Pratt & Whitney's F100 engine that it will give itself a chance! Jackson couldn't help but think to himself. Our company is very forward-looking in 76 years, began to develop the F101 modified engine, similar to the size of the F100, now, the Air Force is quite dissatisfied with Pratt & Whitney, has signed a contract with General Dynamics, requiring the development of the third generation aircraft engine on the basis of the F101, was given the number of F110.
It's just that the F110 will take at least another three or four years before it will be successfully finalized, and even if it is finalized, it cannot be exported to Huaxia, and Huaxia can only use the J79 version, after all, the United States is also on guard against Huaxia.
"Are both engines the same in volume and thrust?" Mr. Song asked.
"It's about the same, but in terms of volume, the J79 is smaller, and the thrust is smaller." Jackson said that these will be detailed documents when they are introduced, and they cannot be faked.
"And how did you stuff the rear fuselage of the F-16?" Mr. Song continued to ask.
"Add a ring of insulation around the perimeter and you're good to go." Jackson said. (To be continued.) )
