Chapter 323 Visit Shen Fei
The wheels gently touched the runway, and the passenger plane continued to slide and landed smoothly. Compared with the bumpy fighter plane, the passenger plane's flight was much gentler.
Andrei sorted out his military uniform, wore a glittering medal on his chest, and walked outside through the open cabin door.
Beside him was Catherine Ekaterina, and behind him were the staff of the delegation.
"General Andrei, welcome to China very much." Just on the apron, a group of Chinese officials came to greet them.
On the other party's national-shaped face, Andre instantly contacted the person in his memory. Commander of the Chinese Air Force, Zhang Tingfa, General Zhang!
This man didn't know how to fly. He participated in the Red Army until the Liberation War. After that, his troops were assigned to the Air Force. At the same time, he became the commander of the Air Force. Until last year, he became the commander of the Chinese Air Force!
Although he could not fly, under his leadership, the Chinese Air Force transformed from a decade of catastrophe and strictly governed the army, becoming a force that could fight and dared to fight tough battles!
Now, when we learned that Andrei was visiting, China sent an air force commander to pick him up, which was considered to be high enough.
"It's very honorable." Andre stretched out his hand: "Once, we, the Soviet Union and China, held our hands tightly, like brothers. Now, our hands are held together again!"
Andrei's words aroused General Zhang's infinite emotion. Back then, the Soviet Union's support for China was very huge. Now Shen Fei was established completely with the help of the Soviet Union. Without the Soviet Union, China would not have had an aviation industry!
Later, due to the position issue, there were frictions and barriers between the two sides. Until now, the exchanges between the two sides, including military exchanges, have stopped. This is the first time!
Following Wei Guangxiu were several energetic middle-aged men. Andrei's eyes looked over and soon corresponded to the characters in his memory.
Tang Yanjie, Director Shen Fei, Chief Designer of J-8! Gu Songfen, Deputy Director Shen Fei, Deputy Chief Designer of J-8, and will also be the chief designer of the J-82 project later!
When Andrei became the test pilot of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation in later generations, these aircraft designers had already retreated to the second line. However, in the turbulent era, they were able to continuously develop fighter jets like the J-8 and finally finalize them. This spirit is still commendable.
Now, when Andrei saw these people, he was very moved. When he shook hands with them, he could feel that the other party's hand was trembling.
Of course it was not because of Andre. Andre could clearly feel that their attention was attracted by the two MiG-fighters that landed later.
Although the J-8 aircraft has a very poor performance and is not a suitable choice for China at all, it is still the most confidential fighter project in China. Several prototypes should be tested by Yan Liang now. The purely enlarged version of the MiG-21. Although Andre scoffed at this aircraft, the experience from Shen Fei still let Andre know that the development of this aircraft was difficult.
At that time, Shenyang Aircraft 601 was only four years old and did not have the ability to develop aircraft at all. When preparing to establish a development plan that meets actual scientific research requirements, various important laboratories and related test conditions were not met, and they had to make concise work and put their work in test flights and actual use. It can be said that the J-8 did not do things according to scientific research rules from the beginning, which was a problem of decision-making at a higher level of management.
At least 5 test flights are actually only approved to build 2. One is not used for actual test flights after static tests. There is only one test flight. In addition, during the trial production process, the pilot administrator was knocked down, and the aircraft's chief designer and important technical person in charge were locked up in a cadre or went to a cadre school... It would be quite amazing to be able to put an airplane into the sky in such an environment.
Unfortunately, it's still out of date.
"General Andre, can we go and see the MiG-fighter jet?" Finally, Deputy Chief Designer Gu Songfen couldn't help but be curious and said to Andre.
Some of the people who came with the passenger plane were ground service maintenance personnel. After the two MiGs landed, they had already taken out tarpaulins and covered the cockpits of the fighter planes, preparing to drag them into the hangar, and then conducted a routine flight inspection.
MiG-, the most advanced fighter jet of the Soviet Union! In the past few months, several American F-15s were shot down!
Seeing Chen Fei's designers so impatient, Andrei had not spoken yet, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force on the side said: "Mr. Gu, our welcome ceremony has not ended yet! After a long flight, our guests must be tired, so let's go to the cafeteria first."
When the guests come, at least they have to have dinner first! Are you so envious? It is simply a shame to a great country.
Andrei was delighted. It seemed that, just like his analysis, the Chinese Air Force urgently needed advanced fighter jets! His own MiG- will definitely be able to successfully open up the Chinese market!
In later generations, after Chinese aircraft designers got a MiG from Egypt in 79, they began to study crazy about this fighter. After that, many technologies were used on the J-82 at that time, such as the nose and air intake duct, which were exactly the same. Now, although Chinese aircraft designers are still developing the J-8 prototype, they should also know that the J-8 with the nose intake is completely outdated and cannot accommodate large radars. The air combat performance of the fighter will be greatly reduced.
Their eyes were filled with stars, looking at the two MiGs covered with canvas in the distance and dragged toward the hangar.
"Yes," Andre said: "We were here to conduct military exchanges. We will have a confrontation drill tomorrow. Now, let's take a look at the latest technology of our Soviets."
The Chinese aircraft designers' eyes were filled with hope. They followed Andre and walked towards MiG together. Even if they could not control their mood, they had already run to the front and surrounded the plane.
"Everyone, watch it all." Andrei stood beside MiG and said to the experts in China.
The nose, radome, wing box, missiles at the skin and wing roots, and tail... Chinese experts looked extremely carefully. Looking at that look, they wanted to take apart the plane and let them study it carefully.
"We Soviets, this time, came with sincerity. If you like our advanced fighter jet, you can introduce a complete set of production lines for production like before." Andrei's words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. (To be continued.)
