Due to the use of canard aerodynamic layout, the pneumatic aspects of the J-10 and the Mirage 4000 have a lot in common, and the experience accumulated in the development of the J-10 can be reverse-engineered, understand the technical key of the Mirage 4000, and then, on this basis, make improvements. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

The Mirage 4000 is produced in Iraq, but many of its components still need to be imported, some of which Dassault will never decrypt, such as the source code of the flight control system and the fire control system, but it only opens up the interface of the fire control, so that Iraq can modify other missiles by itself. And these are the key technologies of a fighter.

When the No. 10 project is completed, Iraqi technicians can easily use these technologies and use them on the Mirage 4000, for example, they can optimize the flight control system, rewrite the source code of the flight controller, and increase the static instability. Another example is that with the rapid development of science and technology, the original computer can be replaced with a new on-board computer. When the Mirage 4000 was upgraded and extended in the middle of the life, the French were left behind and went it alone.

If Qusay now asks Iraq's own engineers to set a model and develop their own fighters, it will be tantamount to being ambitious, Iraq lacks this capability, and after participating in this project of Chengfei, it already has sufficient research and development strength. {{}}

By then, I am afraid that the Soviet Union has collapsed, and Iraq has absorbed a large number of excellent Soviet engineers. Plus the existing team, plus Iraq's strong economic investment. Well, develop Iraq's own fourth-generation fighter. It's no longer impossible.

When the F-22 dominates the sky and the United States uses its own broom to fool a large group of allies with its joint fighter F-35, while the F-22 for its own use does not export a single one, Iraq can already proudly confront the sky!

Thinking of this, Qusay's heart fluttered a little.

Aircraft design. It is a huge system of engineering, materials, processes, metallurgy. Optics and electronics involve all aspects and play a very good role in promoting the overall level of scientific research in Iraq.

So, in his heart, Qusay is very willing to participate in this project.

It's just that this project is a project with a fairly high degree of secrecy in the big countries in the East at the moment, at a high level. Except for the people in charge of the special charge, I am afraid that only people at the level of deputy prime ministers know about it. Are they willing to share such a project with Iraq?

"We in Iraq are very willing, but I don't know if Chengfei is willing to share all the scientific research results with us, but if you really want to develop a medium-sized fighter, the turbofan six engines and new avionics equipment we have developed with you can be used in the new fighter." Qusay said.

In later generations, it is a big problem that restricts the Jian-10. It is the heart, the engine problem, and now, the turbofan VI has been successfully developed, and is developing an additional thrust type to further increase the thrust-to-weight ratio and improve the life, this fighter is gradually maturing.

Watching the other party ponder for a while, and finally agreed to intervene in the research and development, Xiao Dangsheng knew that with the funds provided by the Iraqi side, this fighter would definitely be developed soon.

Cheng Fei's plan to complete the development of the model in '88, manufacture the prototype in '90, and complete the first flight in '90, and strive to be finalized and put into service in '95 will certainly be completed on time, and even be able to complete the development ahead of schedule!

After Qusay's visit, Xiao Dangsheng began to send Kusai's answer back to China, so that Director Song, who was in charge, knew that as long as the high-level agreed, this cooperation would be carried out smoothly. {{}}

However, just after Xiao Dangsheng left, Farrouge, who stayed behind, asked: "President Qusay, I have no objection to us investing money to participate in the development of this kind of fighter, but should we equip this kind of fighter that we jointly developed?" ”

Now, the Iraqi Air Force is equipped with many types of warplanes, which is a nightmare for logistics. Therefore, Iraq is replacing the old Soviet-style fighters with the new Mirage 4000 and F-20, and they will be mothballed or supported or sold at a low price. And now, if Iraq is involved in the development of such fighters, will Iraq itself equip it? This kind of fighter is different from the Super Seven, when the Super Seven was designed, it was aimed at the export market, and this kind of extremely secret project in the East must be their main fighter in the next few decades, and it will not be able to export to earn foreign exchange.

Investing a large amount of money, just learning from a teacher, is still not in line with Iraq's style.

And if Iraq is equipped, will it overlap with the existing models?

Qusay looked at the chief engineer of Iraq for the F-20 fighter, and his thinking has stood at a new height, that is, for the overall interests of Iraq, the national interests of Iraq!

"Yes, there will be a conflict with our existing ones, but our existing F-20 fighters are also flawed. {{}}," Kusai said.

When the F-20 was just equipped with troops, it solved Iraq's urgent needs, and it had a powerful medium-range air combat capability, which could launch Shè Sparrow missiles, which Iraq used as the main air supremacy fighter to compete with the Iranian Air Force for air supremacy.

But now, due to the addition of the Mirage 4000, the F-20 is more used to carry out ground strikes, at this time, the disadvantages of the F-20 are also revealed, and the platform is still too small and the bomb load is limited. At this time, Iraq's combat mission had changed, and Iraq needed to face Western countries, mainly the United States, and Turkey, and the United States, and it needed to protect the skies of the entire Middle East region, and it needed to have a strong ability to compete for air supremacy and bomb on the ground.

J-10, close combat ability and medium-range ability are relatively good, especially the third-generation fighter's emphasis on the instantaneous pointing ability of the nose, and the heavy fighter does not fall behind in close combat. After the improvement to the J-10B, the ground attack capability has been greatly increased, so in the Iraqi Air Force, there is also a certain positioning.

"Your Excellency, I have one more proposal." Faruger said.

"Say it." Qusay felt that he would have to come here often to inspect in the future, and unconsciously the vision of Iraq's military workers was constantly widening.

"If we have our own R&D capabilities, we can develop an advanced training aircraft." "With the increase in the number of advanced fighters such as the Mirage 4000 equipped by the Air Force, the training of our pilots is becoming more and more important, and they are all trained on two-seater fighters, which is very expensive, and if we can develop an advanced training aircraft with similar capabilities, we can save a lot of training costs," Farouge said. ”

Trainer! Now, the Air Force pilots have gone through the primary propeller training aircraft, and after the jet training aircraft, they will fly directly to the two-seater aircraft, which is very costly, so in later generations, the advanced training aircraft has gradually been accepted by more countries, using the fly-by-wire cāo system, through different software design, you can simulate the flight characteristics of different aircraft, which is a great progress.

Moreover, the advanced trainer aircraft can also be used as an attack aircraft by mounting ground attack weapons, so as to achieve multiple uses of one aircraft.

The development of this advanced training aircraft is regarded as the first project of the Iraqi aircraft design team, which reduces the difficulty, and has great applicability, and will not conflict with the existing models, and can also be exported in large quantities to earn foreign exchange, this idea is really very good!

"Your proposal is very good, and when we have enough R&D team, we can consider developing such a training aircraft." Qusay said.

…………

On the tarmac of the aircraft manufacturing company in Sè Lie, a strange-looking aircraft is parked.

From the front, it is very similar to the F-16, with a slightly flattened front face, semi-circular air intakes below, and the upper cockpit is also made of the same side rods.

But the rear, however, is completely different, somewhat similar to an improved version of the Mirage 3, which is the prototype of the second Lion fighter newly produced by the Sè Column Aircraft Company.

Standing quietly on the tarmac, Likud Minister Katsaf Ahrens, a hard-line supporter of the Air Force, has always been very supportive of the project to develop his own fighter jet. It's just that, in the first few years, they developed slowly.

Now, constrained by the US arms sales ban, the Air Force seems to have returned to the time of the First Middle East War, and they have no other choice but to reinstate the Air Force.

Self-developed an advanced fighter jet, never felt so urgent.

As a result of the increased investment in funds, a billion dollars of R&D expenses have been accumulated in the form of sè list zhèngfu and even through financing. Now test flights of such fighters have begun.

The twin-engine version of the fighter is also being fully designed and developed, and it is expected that it will be able to make its first flight next year, and these speeds will simply exceed the world record for military aircraft development.

"Although the United States has imposed sanctions on us, and the export of F-16 and F-15 fighters to us has been temporarily suspended, all kinds of technical assistance from the United States have not stopped, and we can also purchase any kind of parts." Said the engineer in charge of the development and Katsaf Ahrens.

With the rapid progress of the Sè Train, they have adopted a large number of mature technologies from the United States and received technical support from Grumman, otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Sè Train Aviation Industry, which has only modified the Phantom aircraft, to quickly develop such a fighter.

Looking at the prototype that had already begun to fly into the sky, Katsaf Ahrens's eyes showed a frenzy: "Can our fighter end the test flight this year?" Our Air Force, by the end of this year, needs to be equipped with twenty such aircraft. ”

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
