Chapter 281 The cornerstone of the great country of Yang Yuan
In fact, the new round of aviation majors in the Ming Dynasty has officially begun, and this round of development has more aircraft models and more powerful performance.◇↓◇↓ Novel.¥f
The first is the heavy fighter ghost.
This has been developed since the tiger shark entered prototype manufacturing last year.
From the establishment of the Kunpeng aircraft manufacturing company in 50 or 6 years and the establishment of the Ming Empire Aviation Academy to the present, the six years of training have given Yang Feng a sufficient number of outstanding scientists. With the experience of the research and development of the tiger shark fighter, coupled with more advanced material support and aviation design theory, the Ming Dynasty engineers are no less than any other country in the United States and Europe at this time.
In fact, European and American companies have come to poach people now.
Fortunately, the Chinese people in this era have very strong self-esteem, and Yang Feng's conditions are generous enough, and his respect for scientists is far greater than that of any country, so I have not heard of anyone being poached yet.
All subsystems are relatively mature. For example, the engine, the Tamron 3 can be used directly, such as the fire control system, the tiger shark fighter radar fire control system developed by the team led by Shu Xingbei. The performance was already quite advanced at this time, and it has all-weather combat capability. It is only limited by the tonnage of the aircraft and is not enough to guide semi-active radar-guided missiles, but it is much better than the e4 system hidden by the Americans, so it only needs to be improved.
The most important thing that is still being solved is the flight control system. Tiger Shark is still a traditional hydraulic power-assisted mechanical type. As a fighter that mainly performs low-altitude subsonic combat missions, it does not require too high-end things. However, high-altitude high-speed fighter like Ghosts will definitely not work without a computer-scaling system, so it will take some time.
But overall, there was no pressure to serve before 58 years. In history, ghosts were tested in 58 years and started serving in 61 years. Now three years are not too long. As for what the Americans will develop in the next step, this has nothing to do with Chief Yang, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
In addition to heavy fighters, another ongoing project is fighter bombers. In this project, Chief Yang is relatively conservative. He did not change swept wings like F111, Su24, etc., so he simply played Flying Leopard. Although it is good to change swept wings, it takes too long. In fact, he urgently needs fighter bombers. Although Flying Leopard design is conservative, as a fighter bomber, it has everything you need, including large range, large bomb load, barely supersonic speed, and good maneuverability. Of course, the most important thing is that he has a SB engine.
Shrinking the Conway, which Acon, is developing, is SB.
As for simulated telex, it is no big deal. It is barely enough to change it to a mechanical control system with hydraulic power. In the short term, he will use this aircraft as a pure supersonic tactical bomber. There is no such strong maneuverability requirement, and it will be gradually improved in a few years. This is all for decades to be used, so there is enough room for improvement in the future.
In this way, he will probably get a reduced version of Flying Leopard in up to six years. Of course, the radar and electronic systems are definitely not as good as the genuine ones, but as far as the aircraft itself is concerned, it will definitely not be much worse. It is just a fighter bomber, so there is no need to have too high requirements. It is enough to throw bombs and conduct air combat within the visual range.
There is also the ground attack aircraft. This is a ground attack aircraft without even thinking about it. A10 lightning is the only choice, which is the true classic artifact. And it doesn’t have to worry about the messy avionics designs, an aircraft that doesn’t even have a fire-controlled radar. To put it bluntly, it is a pure mechanical monster. It has no advanced nature but is the most down-to-earth work. Basically, after it is developed, you won’t change the ground attack aircraft in your lifetime.
And it happened to be the development of Tamron's engine into the US. It transferred to the TF34 large bypass ratio engine, and then the next one was naturally the CF34. This not only has the A10 engine, but also the Kunpeng's regional jetliner also has an engine. In addition, it can also develop the large bypass ratio engine in Aikang Company to build a Boeing 737. His current Aikang is still a small bypass ratio engine, so Boeing will not have a day to turn around.
Even the next large-thrust military turbofan has a technical source. After all, the American system is the king. If you want to make pomegranate sister and eagle, you must transfer to the American system.
There is also the reverse fire bomber project, which is actually the most technically difficult. According to Yang Feng's estimate, if he does not provide too much extra help and let Kunpeng develop itself, he will definitely not expect it before 1960. But this is enough. After all, it will be too scary to come out too early. In 1960, the time was just right, and the thieves broke twice the speed of sound. Figure 22 is about to be put into service. It is not a shocking moment for the Ming Air Force to drag out a supersonic long-range bomber.
besides……
Well, there are several projects that Head Yang is carrying out, including Cobra armed helicopters, air tankers modified based on Hercules transport aircraft, air gunboats, and large anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and air early warning aircraft based on the ongoing Airbus' first airliner A310. In short, he is riding one project after another, making even the generals of the Air Force dazzled. They don't even understand many concepts here. Of course, Yang Yuanmai, and his men can only go crazy.
According to the progress of Head Yang, in the early 1960s, he could have entered the top three worlds with his conventional military power. As for the atomic bomb, it will be said that thing will be heard when someone uses the atomic bomb to scare him.
He did not hide these ongoing projects, including the backfire bomber, from Adenauer at all, and took him to visit them one by one. In fact, these things were all made public, and even the full scale model was made public on TV. Which country has not had several ambitious projects these days. Let alone him, wouldn’t even Canada dare to launch an arrow interceptor?
Supersonic cruise, fly-by-wire flight control, hand-free control, built-in bullet bay, does the f22 feel like it? However, it is a fighter that Afro officially launched in 53 and successfully tested in 58.
Crazy, really crazy.
Compared with such a madman, Yang is really conservative. The tiger shark has a little bit of a speed of 15 times the sound speed of the sound. It will fly its first flight when it serves.
Even the Indians have begun to develop supersonic fighters.
This is a truly crazy era. Everyone is blowing bubbles like blowing bubbles. Everyone is plunging into this leaps and bounds with confidence. Everyone is dreaming of becoming the final winner. Double the speed of sound is not enough, at least twice the speed of sound is not enough. Ten thousand meters is not enough. If there is no height of 20,000 meters, I am embarrassed to say hello to others. The air cannons are out of date, and fighter jets need to fully missile-based...
In short, in such an era, don’t be afraid that the project indicators are too high. No matter how high it is, it’s no big deal. Everyone is the same.
He wanted to make Adenauer clear of the true strength of the Ming Empire, and only in this way can he strengthen West Germany's confidence in standing on the side of Head Yang.
He even took Adenauer to visit the final assembly of the tiger shark prototype. The aircraft will fly for the first time in two months. It has basically been manufactured and only some internal parts have not been installed yet.
I have to say that this is an extremely elegant and beautiful fighter. Even Yang Feng's aesthetic vision in his later generations believes that from the appearance alone, everyone who sees it will not help but like it. Compared with the mainstream nose air intake of fighter jets at this time, in order to pursue a high-speed chopstick or other inexplicable shapes, the under-rib air intake, the slim-fitting bee waist shape, and the conventional wing surface layout all make it look simple, elegant and beautiful, unlike a fighter jet, but like an oriental beauty.
But this beauty has a violent heart.
"The engine with a maximum afterburner thrust of 7.9 tons, with two air-to-air missiles, the weight can be reduced to 7.9 tons when half of the fuel inside the aircraft is in. This means that the thrust-to-weight ratio in air combat can reach one point. Until now, no ongoing fighter can meet this standard, and its maneuverability will be unparalleled. The maximum take-off weight can reach thirteen tons, a twenty-mm six-barrel Vulcan cannon, and seven external plug-ins can be mounted including infrared guided air-to-air missiles, conventional bombs and auxiliary fuel tanks. The fuselage centerline hanger can withstand a ton of weight, and can be equipped with three tons of weapons at most. It has the same powerful ground attack ability, and it also has the ability to refuel in the air."
Xu Shunshou pointed to the tiger shark under construction and said.
Of course, he won’t talk about the defects of this fighter. In fact, the most important thing is one, the legs are short and very short. Even if three auxiliary fuel tanks are hung, the maximum combat radius is only more than 500 kilometers.
If you want to achieve the thrust-weight ratio of Chief Yang's air combat, you must make sacrifices in other places. The air weight of fighter jets of the same level that are being carried out in other countries is basically more than eight tons, and the normal take-off weight is more than ten tons. You should know that even the Tenglong third engine can be said to be the best at this time, the thrust-weight ratio is only just over five, which means that the engine alone weighs more than one ton.
The tiger shark's empty weight is only six to seven, and the body weight is only five ton. The reason why it is so light is that in addition to the large amount of new materials, new aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and even composite materials, there is also the most important thing that is that the body is small, but the small body means that the internal volume is limited, the oil carrying capacity is less than other aircraft, and of course the combat radius is shorter.
Fortunately, if West Germany wants it, they don’t have to care about this. Anyway, they only have a small land area, and the combat radius of 500 kilometers is enough for them to protect the sky above their heads.
There is also a flaw, that is, the price is expensive, and it is of course expensive to use titanium alloys. Fortunately, the titanium alloys in the Ming Dynasty were developed. If the United States concentrated the whole country's titanium alloy to build super swords, the price would probably be even more expensive, but this problem...
"You don't need to worry about the price issue! We are friends. If you really want it, just follow our internal purchase price!"
