The meeting broke up unhappy.
Back in the room, Tallikov was still very angry.
“What are the people in the East thinking? They want us to redesign the fuselage. If we can redesign the fuselage, why should we come to the East to sell it? We can complete the modification of the IL-96 ourselves!”
"Yes, we have made great concessions. We use their engines, their avionics, and they use our airframes. Isn't this a good thing for mutual cooperation? They are still so picky. They clearly don't want to cooperate. !”
“Humph, let them go to the Antonov Design Bureau and have a **** fight, and then come back to us. By then, we will have to use our own for everything!”
“Yes, in fact, we can also develop our own engines. Our Kuznetsov Design Bureau has corresponding models, so we don’t have to catch up with the Easterners!”
If the Red Empire had not collapsed, Lao Maozi would still have everything he wanted.
For example, according to the original plan, their next-generation transport aircraft has been locked in the IL-106. The aero engines of this transport aircraft include the NK-92 of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau and the D-10 of the Soloviev Design Bureau. 100 two models.
Among them, the NK-92 engine has a thrust of 176 kN. If this engine is completed, it will be more powerful than the Western engine they used. Later, although this engine was not used, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau did not Frustrated, they raised their own funds and launched the NK-44 engine project. This engine has a design thrust of up to 400 kilonewtons and is planned to be a supporting engine for the Tupolev Design Bureau's Tu-304 passenger aircraft.
Now, because the Tu-304 passenger aircraft has no further development, this engine has not been developed and is only used as a paper project. However, if their Ilyushin Design Bureau wants to use twin engines, it can still be used. Up.
However, they began to frown again when they thought about the huge amount of money to be invested.
While they were complaining, Nicholas came in.
“Nikolai, what did they say?” Tallikov looked at Nikolai.
“I have talked to Qin several times, but he still insists that he does not know how to build an airplane, so he listens to the opinions of experts. He insists on modifying the airframe and requiring that its weight reach the same level as that of the West, and that the weight cannot exceed the standard.”
Are you kidding? The aircraft of the Red Empire have always been heavier than those of the West. How can they reach the same weight as the West? This simply cannot be done.
Talikov's eyes showed a disappointed expression.
"However, Mr. Qin also said that it is not easy for us to come here, so we can stay in the East for a while. Their Mingzhou Group is responsible for our food and accommodation, and invites us to travel here in the East." Nicholas said: "Business It’s not about favors, he wants to fulfill his duty as a landlord, so they can take advantage of this period to discuss it carefully. Where do you guys want to go? "
Who will reimburse you for traveling in Eastern lands? This is of course good news!
Everyone recovered from their disappointment immediately.
“I heard that Mingzhou Group operates a small island?”
“Yes, we most want to go to a warm beach for vacation.”
"Okay, then I'll say hello and arrange for you to go to Shuangsha Island for vacation." Nicholas said.
Da Mao was almost always in high latitudes. During the Red Empire era, there were some seaside amusement parks. After the family split, the amusement parks were gone. Da Mao sadly found that he didn’t even have a place to go on vacation.
Even if they have it, it’s useless because they have no money.
Now, someone pays for them to take a vacation, which is a piece of cake in the sky.
Yurasov suddenly became nervous.
I'm going on vacation, can I still see that woman? He hadn't worked well all day today, and his mind was filled with images of being entangled with that woman.
Amid worries, Yurasov packed his luggage with others and left the hotel. Just as he was getting on the plane, he unexpectedly saw the familiar figure, so he could no longer control his excitement and ran over.
"Najesta, you..."
Today in the conference room, he learned that the woman in front of him was called Najesta. Now, his eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, unwilling to leave.
“The group organized a tourism activity. I heard we were going to Shuangsha Island, so I signed up. What are you going to do? Are you going back?”
“Great, let’s go to Shuangsha Island too, let’s go together! Come, I’ll help you carry your luggage.”
Looking at Yurasov, who had been silent in the design bureau, Tallikov frowned slightly. There seemed to be something wrong here.
However, traveling is fun, let’s relax first.
Tallikov would not know that after going to Shuangsha Island, many people never went back with him, especially Yurasov, who insisted on being with Nagstar. Maybe he was going to Damao Land, so he had to stay.
As for other people, they also have their own reasons.
They set out on their journey happily, but Nicholas did not go with them.
Since you have come to the East, you must go to Mingzhou Shipyard to see to what extent the aircraft carrier that Mao Mao attaches most importance to has been modified.
When he arrived at the destination and saw the aircraft carrier, Nicholas opened his eyes wide.
The once rusty aircraft carrier has disappeared, and what appears in front of him is a brand-new looking aircraft carrier!
The part below the waterline is brick red, and the upper part is the light gray common in the navy. After painting, the aircraft carrier looks like it is new from the factory!
Nicholas took a deep breath, and then strode over.
"Most of the construction process has been completed outside. The future construction will mainly be inside. There is no other work on the floating dock now, so we will continue to lift the aircraft carrier. If there is other work in the future, the aircraft carrier will dock at the outfitting slipway at any time. Over there Assembly." Qin Tao introduced the progress of the aircraft carrier: "Most of the internal modification work requires manual work, so it takes a long time."
“Where is the boiler? Has the boiler been replaced?” Nicholas asked.
"We haven't built all the boilers yet. We will replace them together after they are all built." Qin Tao said: "For us, replacing boilers has long been familiar. The job looks big, but it is actually very small. There are so many small things. It’s the work that’s the most annoying.”
While talking, the two of them had already stepped onto the deck, and the marking lines had been painted on it, exactly the same as before.
"It's a pity that such a good aircraft carrier can only operate medium-sized carrier-based aircraft like the MiG-29K. The Su-33 is already outdated." Nikolai said: "Looking at your development in the East, it is really enviable. Your stealth aircraft are already on board."
“Well, our stealth aircraft have been deployed in many countries around the world, and you will definitely have a chance in the future.” Qin Tao said. "No, no, I'm not talking about the single-engine stealth aircraft, I'm talking about the twin-engine heavy fighter." Nikolai said.
Twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft? Qin Tao was stunned: "Nicholas, what twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft are you talking about?"
Qin Tao was very surprised: "How do you know? Why don't I know?"
“You don’t know?” Nicholas glanced at him curiously: “How could you not know? Satellites have already photographed that aircraft taking off and landing on your 002 aircraft carrier, and the United States should have also photographed it.”
The 003 aircraft carrier is still in the outfitting and sea trials stage, but the 002 aircraft carrier has long been in force. After the J-20 carrier type completed the take-off and landing test in Huangdi Village, the next step is naturally to go on the aircraft carrier for testing. Although the 002 aircraft carrier The equipment of carrier-based aircraft has been completed, but it is still normal to use it as a test platform. In recent times, the J-20 has frequently taken off and landed on the 002 aircraft carrier. Of course, it cannot escape the eyes of satellites in space.
Across the ocean.
Swift held a photo taken by a satellite in his hand. In this overhead view, a canard-type fighter jet was landing from the deck of the 002 aircraft carrier. Its tail hooked the landing hook and was in the deceleration stage.
His eyes were complicated. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was extremely complicated.
Now, the U.S. Navy is completely unable to catch up!
Since the emergence of the Mingzhou Group, it has caught up in some areas and surpassed it in some areas. The equipment of the Eastern Navy has developed rapidly.
In the past, when the Eastern Navy obtained the J-15 carrier-based aircraft, they had already felt the pressure. After all, with the retirement of the Tomcat, the J-15 has become the only carrier-based heavy fighter in the world. The U.S. Navy has The big bugs simply cannot compete with the J-15, and they are already at a disadvantage.
But they had no choice. After all, the Tomcat's retirement was arranged by Congress, so they could only accept it. They expected that the super bug that the big bug would evolve into would be more powerful, and they also looked forward to quickly developing a stealth fighter.
However, not long before their project started, Dongfang's stealth carrier-based aircraft had already entered service. In this field, Dongfang was completely ahead of them!
Their stealth aircraft have always been full of difficulties and have various problems. However, Dongfang's stealth carrier-based aircraft are being mass-produced and sold to many countries, exposing them to more and more dangers.
At present, their JSF is not yet mature and is still far away from equipping the navy. However, Dongfang has already developed an advanced heavy-duty stealth fighter and has also developed a carrier-based model!
How can the U.S. Navy catch up? They are simply unable to catch up, they can never catch up with the East again!
At this time, just behind him, a group of people were still discussing.
“There’s nothing special about this aircraft, canards? The best canards are on enemy aircraft.”
“That’s right, no matter how much they brag, it can’t change the fact that its stealth performance is poor. This kind of aircraft has at most the same level of stealth capabilities as our Super Hornet, and we still have the advantage.”
Swift smiled bitterly, what's going on with these people? When you find that you can't surpass your opponent no matter how hard you try, do you start to comfort yourself and paralyze yourself? No matter how weak this twin-engine heavy aircraft is, it is still much better than their Super Hornet.
"By the way, do you know? The recent defense exhibition they went to in the oil region showed a trimaran. This is clearly imitating us and following our path. In terms of warships, it is our U.S. Navy that leads the times. !”
Swift didn't say much. He knew that there was no point in talking to these people. If the Navy wanted to develop a new heavy-duty carrier-based fighter jet, the cost would be astronomical, and the time spent would be unbearable. The best way is to modify the F22 as a carrier-based aircraft, but this project has long been abandoned.
There is nothing they can do now.
Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition.
All countries attach great importance to the defense exhibition here. Even though it has a short history, they are willing to gather here for no other reason than because these spectators all wear a piece of cloth on their heads! There are some of the richest people in the world here. As long as they take a fancy to it, they will spend a lot of money to purchase it without hesitation!
However, when they came over, they were surprised to find that those guys with a piece of cloth on their heads were all flocking to the Oriental booth, while the other booths were almost deserted!
This time, Dongfang debuted as a national pavilion of Dongfang Military Industry for the first time. It is one of the largest national pavilions participating in the defense exhibition. They occupy a total booth area of 2,100 square meters and display more than 500 types of equipment!
They were very annoyed as they walked around the Eastern booth with a white cloth on their heads but rarely went to the booths of other countries.
"What we have here is the most advanced L-15 trainer aircraft. This trainer aircraft uses advanced aerodynamic layout and can perfectly simulate various maneuvers of third-generation aircraft. As long as different flight control data are input, feedback from different aircraft can be obtained. ." A Dongfang personnel introduced the trainer model around him.
Since this is not an air show, nor is it next to a runway, there are no real aircraft displays, but mostly model displays. The model of the L-15 trainer aircraft is five meters long and is a very realistic model.
Large sides, dual engines, and a cockpit that is low in the front and high in the back give it a modern feel at first glance.
A certain wealthy man just wanted to stop here to watch, when his subordinate suddenly came over in a hurry: "Master, there is a booth in front of you, displaying a dual-engine heavy-duty stealth aircraft!"
Twin-engine, heavy-duty, stealth machine? The combination of these words made the wealthy man unable to react for a moment. His face was blank at first, and then turned into excitement: "Okay, go, go immediately!"
When he rushed over, a large group of people had gathered there, almost all of them with white cloths on their heads. Fortunately, the models on the booth were placed very high and could be seen from a distance.
The rhombus-shaped nose and butterfly-shaped wings look similar to common stealth aircraft of this era. However, its air inlets are not close to the cheeks on both sides of the nose, but are on the belly of the fuselage, with twin engines and double vertical ducts behind it. The tail, as a whole, looks like a flattened Su-27.
What kind of plane is this?
This wealthy man immediately became interested. In the era of stealth machines, the designs of stealth machines in various countries are similar. This stealth machine has a special shape and gives people a refreshing feeling.
At this time, there was a beautiful girl standing on the booth, introducing her to everyone.
"Everyone, our aircraft uses a brand new design. What are the benefits of this design? It has the world's largest stealth fighter bomb bay. Our heavy fighter can hang various long-range attack missiles in the bomb bay, such as It is said that our export models of long-range anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles can be mounted in the built-in bomb bay, so that they can not only attack the enemy from a long distance, but also maintain stealth during the entire attack!"
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the airplane model in disbelief.
They are all familiar with stealth aircraft. The belly between the air intakes has a built-in bomb bay. Even if it is opened from the left and right, it can hang six air-to-air missiles or two ground attack bombs. This is already very embarrassing. It's easy. Don't even think about those huge anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles. They are for bombers.
Now, this stealth fighter can actually carry this kind of missile?
"Our main weapon bay is in the belly of the aircraft, between the two air intakes, extending from the front end of the air intake to the rear end of the air intake. The length of the weapon bay is more than seven meters!" Lin Xia looked at the following. man, introduced enthusiastically.
Yes, this person is Lin Xia. She is already an important R&D engineer for this project. She is very concerned about this project. She came to the defense exhibition this time and made full preparations, including the fact that she can speak Arabic fluently. language, so communication is no longer a problem.
This aircraft of theirs is destined not to be equipped with the domestic navy and air force, so sell it! Wasn't the Mingzhou Group's stealth fighter originally exported first and then sold domestically? It was developed with their own funds. If Mingzhou Group can do it, they can do it too!
Although stealth fighters are flying all over the international market now, they are all medium-sized and heavy-duty stealth fighters. There are only three models in the world!
The F22 from the United States will not be sold, and the J-20 from the East will not be sold. Therefore, only the FC-31 from the Northern Research Institute will be sold! A conservative estimate is that there is a demand for at least 300 aircraft around the world! Even if they only sell a hundred aircraft, they can still occupy a place in the field of military aircraft research and development!
"In addition to these ground-to-sea attack weapons, large air-to-air missiles can also be mounted with a range of at least 400 kilometers. This kind of fighter can be transformed into an early warning aircraft killer. It can fire from a long distance before the early warning aircraft is unprepared, and then break away. Return.”
There are no large-scale air-to-air missiles yet, but if our aircraft has this capability, it must be publicized. After all, ordinary stealth fighters simply cannot fit large missiles in their cabins and cannot carry long-range missiles.
"Okay, let me introduce our innovation to you next. Look at the side strips on both sides of the nose. These are movable side strips. It is our original aerodynamic layout. Just like the canard wing, it can increase the stability of the aircraft. Stabilizing effect.”
This fighter plane is a completely new design, the first in the world! The movable side bars are also their first initiative. Who dares to slander the Su-27 and say it is flat?
