"This is our design drawing." Boeing's technician opened the slide.

When the design of the aircraft appeared on the screen, everyone laughed.

"This big mouth reminds me of a toad!"

"That's right, that big mouth is just for fun!"

Faced with these doubts, people from Boeing remained unmoved and continued to introduce: "This design was developed from our AVX-70 project. It uses a single-engine nose-type air intake and a mid-mounted engine with lift jets.

Tube…"

“Next up, the Lockheed project!”

Daniel walked up and opened his slides, and sure enough, the laughter came as expected.

"You, Lockheed, are so shameless. Why are you copying Chinese projects?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's right, we would rather have a toad mouth than a plane that is the same as China's fighter plane! When our plane takes to the sky, what will others do?

See our plane?”

Different paths lead to the same goal! After repeated calculations and designs, Lockheed designers found that the shape of the Chinese project was the most suitable.

So, they brought this project, and as they envisioned, countless people despised them.

At this time, listening to these sarcasms, Daniel felt extremely aggrieved. How could this be a project they copied from the Chinese? This project was their original creation! But now that he said it, no one believed it. Although they checked themselves

After passing it, no one was found to have leaked the secret.

Their project has also gone through a long period of development.

Initially, they planned to use the configuration used on the astovl project: a canard design with a trapezoidal main wing, but they later gave up.

Because canards are not popular in the United States, including the widely circulated saying: the best place for canards is on other people's fighter jets. The radar reflection area caused by canards is troublesome, and the resistance to crossing the sound barrier is also lower than that of ordinary canards.

The configuration was high, so they made modifications, first canceling the canards and becoming a fighter close to a delta wing design, and then adding horizontal tails to return to the traditional design.

Although the final design is similar to the F-22, it actually went through some twists and turns.

What now? People directly say it is plagiarism! In the United States, which has the strongest technological strength, plagiarism is to be laughed at.

"For vertical takeoff and landing, we use a combination of tail nozzles and front lift fans..."

There was another burst of ridicule: "Even the vertical take-off and landing layout is the same!"

"Is there anyone left at Lockheed?"

"That's right, bring out the same innovative spirit that you used to build the F-117!"

Daniel almost went down amid boos. He was extremely depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

"Next, let's ask McDonnell Douglas to introduce the plan."

McDonnell Douglas is also an experienced military aircraft design team. In the Air Force's bidding, the YF-23 project they proposed together with Northrop was considered to be the most technologically advanced. At the same time, because of its advanced technology,

Only then was it abandoned.

Now, their design is still avant-garde and bold: the fuselage adopts air intakes on both sides, lambda main wings, and like the yf-23, the horizontal tail design is canceled. The entire design once again gives people a bright feeling.

"Now, please allow me to introduce

Lambda main wing." This engineer was very proud: "This is a main wing with a unique shape. The trailing edge of the main wing has a forward sweep angle and a backward sweep angle. This increases the aspect ratio and makes the aerodynamic efficiency at high altitudes better than that of a trapezoidal wing.

It also improves maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, and the large-area flaperon can function as a vertical tail through differential control."

On the B-2 bomber, the vertical tail has disappeared. Now, McDonnell Douglas designers believe that the vertical tail is no longer necessary.

Everyone's eyes lit up, just like the original YF-23 project!

"In terms of the vertical take-off and landing solution, we believe that the technical difficulty of the lift fan is too great, so we installed a special lift engine at this location."

In terms of vertical take-off and landing options, McDonnell Douglas uses the same structure as the Yak-38!

In fact, they originally planned to use lift fans, but when China announced the J-31A project, they had a keen sense that this method, like the one used by China, would be despised by many people.

, they would rather use a defective lift engine, even if it is like the Yak-141, than like the J-31A.

The projects of the three bidding companies were displayed, there was another quarrel, and then a vote was taken by a show of hands.

"Now, I announce that Boeing's project has been given the opportunity to develop further and has been given the number X-32, and McDonnell Douglas' project has also been given the opportunity to be given the number X-35!"

After hearing William's words, Daniel stood up immediately: "Why? Our project is the most complete!"

They definitely didn't expect that they would be eliminated at the initial stage! They had already won the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet project, and it would be very easy for them to win this joint attack aircraft project.

"Is it just because our aircraft is similar to that J-31A? This is not fair, this is not fair!"

No one paid any attention to Daniel's words.

Yes, that's the reason! They will never use a copied aircraft design.

Daniel almost vomited blood. Although he knew he would be questioned, he didn't expect that their plane would be eliminated just because of their similar appearance!

"Those two aircraft are defective, there are many defects. The X-32 is a big-mouthed toad, so ugly! The X-35 uses a lift engine, and the problem of deck ablation is simply unsolvable.

It’s a waste of fuel!”

"That's better than plagiarism."

"damn it!"

For Lockheed, this is the most disappointing day. They have manufactured the F-117 and they are developing the F-22, but now, they have been eliminated first in the development of the next low-end aircraft!

The reason they use is bullshit, saying that their planes are similar to Chinese planes!

"Our project is not simply a technical verification, but was born in response to actual needs. In order to cope with the huge financial investment, we must also adopt a joint research and development approach. We must include partners such as the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.

, and the cooperation levels are divided into first-level partners, the United Kingdom, second-level partners, which are the next three countries, and others who join are third-level partners.

"Plagiarism, this is plagiarism!" Daniel couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly in the conference room: "You dislike our plagiarism in aircraft design, what about you? In terms of your business operation model, aren't you also plagiarizing Dongfang?

People? What reason do you have to abandon our project? No, this is not fair!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Facing Daniel's roar, William Perry said calmly: "He has gone crazy, please drag him out!"

Since the plan was to adopt an international cooperation method, it certainly could not be kept secret. On the evening of that day, the project office officially announced the plan to the public.

A worldwide sensation.

The United States, which has always been wealthy, actually wants to unite other countries to develop a brand new fighter aircraft. The requirements, ideas, and commercial operations of this stealth aircraft are almost exactly the same as the Eastern J-31A!

The beautiful country that always prides itself on innovation is so shameless that it plagiarizes?

A lot of inside information leaked out.

East.

Qin Tao has completed his inspection in the Land of Abundance and returned to Huating.

On the way, Qin Tao heard the news that Xu Zhengyang got, and it was a little funny.

At the beginning, he had thought that he would go the way of the F-35, leaving Lockheed with no way to go. However, these were beyond his control, but he did not expect that Lockheed would be eliminated in the end.

.

"Mr. Qin, you are really amazing. You can actually make a multinational arms giant suffer." Xu Zhengyang said.

Qin Tao smiled: "Our J-31A plan is just a stimulus. There are many other reasons. For example, many people don't want to see Lockheed alone."

F-117, F-22, these aircraft are all produced by Lockheed. If you add the new joint attack aircraft plan, it means that the only American military aircraft giant is Lockheed.

Even this company has always been able to control costs, unlike Northrop. But, who can guarantee the future? Once one company becomes dominant, the military will have to pinch its nose and endure Lockheed's difficulties.

Xu Zhengyang didn't think so much. At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Xu Zhengyang thought about it and realized that this was really the case, so he was even more impressed.

Mr. Qin is so awesome!

"Mr. Qin, will the other two companies come up with more powerful aircraft?"

"I don't know about this." Qin Tao said: "After all, Americans are the most advanced in technology. Maybe they can really develop and mature the useless stuff."

It would be funny if the big-mouthed X-32 flew all over the world. The McDonnell Douglas X-35, which uses a lift engine, will worry the Marine Corps?

No matter what, it has nothing to do with me anyway.
