Chapter 482: Do you want to stop me? Bring me the stuff from the bottom of the box!
Let’s go back to the original judgment: Institute 601 simply does not have the ability to develop advanced fighter jets on its own. Their technical level is to develop a J-8 fighter jet at high altitude and high speed. Therefore, Institute 601 must be based on their Soviet- 27, to develop a three-wing fighter!
Recalling that some time ago, 601 requested to purchase a special al-31f3 model engine, they became even more clear: after being rejected, the Orientals still did not give up the plan, but planned to use domestic engines instead!
If they just build a few imitations of the Su-33, forget it. The problem is, they can clearly see that if the modification of the R-79 is used in Project 11, then Dongfang will not be able to do so in the future. I know how to purchase third uncle!
They originally planned to use engines to restrict Dongfang, but what happened?
Being bypassed!
They were annoyed, they were angry, but they also had a sense of powerlessness.
The other party would only reveal that it was a three-wing aircraft, but they would not say what it was specifically.
Although they are all produced in Factory 112, the confidentiality system in the factory is still very strict. They have no access to this independently developed project of 601 Institute. They will only see it during the test flight. However, by that time , everything is too late!
Yemelyanov clenched his fists.
At this moment, a car drove over and stopped at the door. An old man and an Oriental man got out. The faces of these two people seemed to be very familiar!
"Pleshakov!"
"Mr. Qin!"
Hearing the call, Pleshakov stopped in his hurry, looked at the people standing, and then recognized them: "Emelyanov, why are you here?"
"We are engineers sent by Sukhoyin, Pleshakov, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, aren't you working on a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet?"
When the J-31A was publicly displayed, it was always Zhao Dangsheng who came forward. Even the usual title behind Pleshakov’s election was Mao out of context. However, many people on Lao Maozi’s side still knew that Insiders know that a large number of Yak-141 designers are involved in this J-31A fighter project.
Now, they felt strange that Pleshakov came here.
"Yes, let me introduce some experience, especially in terms of engines."
Engine experience!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat again. Needless to say, it must be the experience of the R-79 engine!
Different engines have different parameters, not only thrust and size, but also special indicators such as intake air flow, surge margin, etc. Therefore, if Institute 601 wants to install the engine on an aircraft, it must not only There must be some special engine nacelle structural parts to stuff the engine in, and other means must be used to ensure the stability of the aircraft.
Now Pleshakov is here to help.
After all, the R-79 engine is used on the J-31A. The designers who developed this aircraft also have the most experience in engine layout. They came to impart their experience, which means that this project is progressing steadily.
In progress!
"Sorry, I have to go in and do some work. Let's drink together when we are free." Pleshakov said and walked in.
Qin Tao also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Yemelyanov.
"Mr. Qin, are you okay? Do we want a drink?"
Qin Tao hesitated.
"Mr. Qin, you are a good friend of our Da Mao. Since we meet, we must have a drink!"
"Okay, let's go have a drink." At this time, Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart. In the past, he was the one who got old people drunk and then made friends with them. Now, these old people actually want to do the same thing and want to make friends with them.
Get him drunk, then make friends with him and get things out of his mouth.
This is so naive!
However, what he wants is this opportunity.
Everything that needs to be paved has been laid, and all that is left is the final word. This work must be completed by him.
They take great care of these old people, whether they are in Factory 112 or 601, and even prepare a bar for them so that they can have a drink after get off work.
There is a beautiful Lao Maozi song playing in the bar, and anyone with a little experience can tell that it is Katyusha.
"Come, drink!" Yemelyanov raised his glass: "Mr. Qin, when our Su-27 was sold to the East, you also played an important role in it. Because of you, we saved our common destiny.
Qingcheng, we can live a good life thanks to you."
"This has nothing to do with me." Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "I was just joining in the fun."
"Mr. Qin, you are on our side, but you have a good reputation. Many people say that as long as we are friends with you, there will be benefits."
"That's true. I just like to make friends."
"Mr. Qin, we should be friends now, right?"
"That's right."
"Then can we know what kind of work you and Pleshakov have here?"
"Well, you are making things difficult for me. You should also know that these are top secrets." Qin Tao said, "If I tell you, it will be a leak. Although we are friends, I still have to stick to my principles.
.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yemelyanov's eyes.
"Of course, I can't tell you the purpose of coming, but I can talk about the progress of our J-31A project."
"Every subsystem of this aircraft is very smooth. Take its engine as an example. After we introduced a full set of R-79 engine technology, we built a domestically produced turbofan 15 engine on the basis of this technology.
, its test results are very good, this engine has become our most advanced domestic aviation engine. In addition to being used on our J-31A, it will definitely be used on other fighter jets."
engine!
What they were most concerned about was the engine problem. Now that they heard Qin Tao say this, it was almost certain.
"And its avionics equipment." Qin Tao continued: "We have overcome the difficulties of flat-panel gap radar in China. The Shenying radar we developed has advanced performance and moderate caliber, and can be equipped on the J-31A
On the fighter plane, coupled with the air-to-air missiles we developed ourselves, the fighter plane will have powerful combat capabilities."
At this time, Yemelyanov was still thinking about the engine. He had not yet paid attention to the radar and avionics equipment Qin Tao mentioned. When Qin Tao finished speaking, he suddenly realized and his face suddenly changed:
"Your own supporting avionics are already so advanced?"
"Yes, we know the gaps in these aspects, so we have been working hard to improve our technology." Qin Tao said: "Our digital fly-by-wire flight control has also matured."
Yemelyanov was completely confused.
I originally thought that the other party was just replacing the engine, but now it seems that things are not that simple. The other party is planning to completely replace the engine. In addition to the engine, there are also radars, flight controls, etc., all of which will be replaced. In this way, there is no need to ask for help from Lao Maozi.
By purchasing any parts, Dongfang can produce fighters similar to the Su-27.
If this project goes ahead, how can they continue to make money? Even the existing assembly contract for two hundred aircraft cannot be completed.
No, we absolutely cannot let this happen!
"Mr. Qin, what do you think of the prospects of our cooperative projects?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't know about this."
Don’t know? It’s not for sure, but I don’t know. There is a problem, there is a problem!
Yemelyanov's heart became even more entangled.
"Come on, Mr. Qin, have a drink!"
After finishing the glass of wine, Qin Tao looked at the people in front of him: "Do you have something on your mind?"
"No no."
Looking at the looks of these guys, you know they won't hide their feelings.
"I can reveal some inside information. Anyway, it's all gossip and informal."
"What's the secret?" Yemelyanov asked nervously.
"Originally, they didn't plan to start a new business, but they wanted to order some engines from you, but you refused to give them life and death. This incident angered them, and they decided to be self-reliant."
What engine to order? Isn't it the al-31f3? Of course Yemelyanov knew about this, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big reaction.
He reported this matter to the country, which judged that Dongfang might be trying to imitate a fighter jet similar to the Su-33. The country's subconscious reaction was that they were unhappy.
Why, what qualifications do you have to imitate the Su-33? You can only purchase it from us!
What is for sale is the Su-27 production line, other aircraft must be purchased!
Da Mao has just equipped the Kuznetsov with Su-33s. If nothing else happens, the Su-33 production line will have to be shut down. Now, it has received orders from the East and continues to produce Su-33s, which means that the production line can continue
If it keeps running, they can make more money.
Therefore, it is impossible to sell the engine. If you want to buy it, you can only buy the complete machine.
I originally thought that Dongfang would bow its head and admit defeat and come to purchase, but unexpectedly, Dongfang was stimulated and wanted to produce independently!
If it were in the past, of course they would not believe it. Orientals do not have this ability!
But what now?
The engine, avionics, and flight control are all available on the J-31A. If they are transplanted to the J-55, there will be no problem at all!
If the Easterners have mastered this kind of aircraft, what kind of J-11 will they need in the future?
The backward radar with reversed antenna cannot mount the weapons produced by Dongfang...
"However, I have heard that there is a problem with the current production capacity. The output of this 15-inch turbofan engine is very low and cannot meet their needs at all. Moreover, after all, it is a new engine and is not as sturdy as my third uncle." Qin Tao continued.
Said: "If you can export a large number of engines at a cheap price, then the project here will probably be delayed. After all, they have to develop their own research and development, and the time and energy cannot keep up. Some are of no use.
, I will make do with it for the time being.”
This is the most critical step!
When Qin Tao spoke, his tone was low and his eyes were erratic. In fact, he was paying attention to everyone's reactions.
If you want to delay Dongfang's independent research and development project, or even make Dongfang abandon the project, then you should use the cheapest price to export the third uncle over!
"If it is an ordinary engine, of course there is no problem, but this kind of engine is used on carrier-based aircraft!" Yemelyanov was still hesitant at this time.
"What kind of carrier-based aircraft is there? There are no aircraft carriers in the East, so what kind of carrier-based aircraft is needed?" Qin Tao said: "It's just that the navy wants to purchase a batch and plans to deploy them on the southern islands. Of course, the aircraft must be treated with salt and moisture.
Well, they are interested in the engine of this kind of carrier-based aircraft."
"Didn't we also talk about three wings?"
"Three wings, are you kidding me?" Qin Tao said: "It's not that I look down on them, but at the level of the 601 Institute, they can just add a canard wing to the Su-27, but I, Qin Tao, will go backwards!"
Right!
Now, all problems are solved.
Dongfang does not want to build carrier-based aircraft, but plans to use them for the navy. It is still an island in the south. They have heard about it a long time ago. The island in the south was reclaimed and built to create an airport. It is surrounded by sea water. If the engine of the carrier-based aircraft is used
, it is definitely more durable!
Yes, that’s it!
"Mr. Qin, as long as we are willing to export this kind of engine, will we stop their self-research projects?" Yemelyanov asked.
"What did you say? I don't know anything!" Qin Tao started pretending to be stupid again.
have no idea?
It was clearly you who was talking just now! Yemelyanov glanced at Qin Tao in surprise, and then suddenly realized that Mr. Qin meant to stay out of the matter. After all, he said so much, he was talking to Dongfang
Adverse.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mr. Qin is such a friend!
Yemelyanov was very grateful, but because he remembered this incident, he drank another glass of wine and said goodbye to Qin Tao in a hurry.
He couldn't make a decision. He had to tell Moscow everything that happened here. Moreover, because the matter was too important, he had to go back in person!
When he was in the evening, Yemelyanov got on a passenger plane and returned to Moscow.
All the preparations have been completed.
In Institute 601, the lights are bright.
"Mr. Qin, will your plan work?" Mr. Gu asked Qin Tao worriedly.
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen." Qin Tao said: "We just need to do what we should do. As for whether we can succeed, it depends on God."
"Mr. Qin, we are very moved by your open-minded optimism. However, this project is too important to us and there cannot be any mistakes!" Li Ming said with emotion.
Qin Tao smiled: "Didn't Mao Duanzhang come here? How was your communication?"
Qin Tao brought Plishakov with him. He was drinking with Yemelyanov and others outside, while Plishakov sat with everyone to discuss the issue of Turbofan-15.
After saying these things, Plishakov left. After all, his J-31A project was too important. If Qin Tao hadn't summoned him, he wouldn't have come at all.
At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's question, Luo Yang spoke: "After his introduction, we think that using this kind of engine is not a bad choice. Especially, the prototype of the turbofan 15 has already been
After the construction was completed, the relevant units began intensive transformation to increase the thrust of the engine and reduce the weight of the engine. This improved version can perfectly replace our third uncle."
The prototype of the turbofan 15 is just the beginning. On this basis, further improvements are the key research direction of the 624 Institute and other related institutions.
Utilizing domestic progress in aero-engines to increase turbine front temperature and reduce weight at the same time, this is the goal of the first phase of improvement.
"If you don't pursue the time effect, then of course this modification is the best. The problem is that we have an important time node!" Mr. Gu said: "We can't have already started sea trials of our aircraft carrier.
Our fighter jets are still waiting for their engines."
"How about we replace it with the original third uncle first?" Li Ming proposed a plan.
The Sea Flanker uses the specially improved Third Uncle, but if they can't get it now, they can only use land-based ones instead.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?" Mr. Gu shouted twice before Qin Tao realized that he was obviously thinking about other things just now.
"Mr. Qin, are you distracted?" Mr. Gu looked at Qin Tao funny.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I was just thinking whether it is still necessary to develop our Turbofan 10 project."
Turbofan ten? This is the key project of Liming Factory! Hearing Qin Tao say this, Mr. Gu's expression suddenly changed.
Aviation engines have always been a weak point in the country. The turbofan VI, which was developed for 20 years, finally came to an end. However, scientific research cannot be stopped, so in 1987, the development of a new generation of aviation engines began again.
However, in order to reduce the risk of development, the cfm56 core computer used on passenger aircraft was directly copied.
For Western engine research and development, the first thing to do is the core engine. After the core engine is released, different outer ducts are added to become different aircraft engines, which can be used for fighter jets and passenger aircraft.
This CFM56 core machine is not only the engine of the passenger aircraft, but also the core machine of the American F110 engine. The latter is equipped on the F16 and F15. Therefore, by mapping this core machine and matching it with the appropriate external duct, it can become an advanced engine. fighter engine.
In 1992, this engine had already undergone bench testing. This was of course just the beginning. According to the difficulty of developing the engine, it would take at least more than ten years of experimentation.
For domestic military aircraft, the turbofan X-10 is very important. In its glory days, it supported almost all types of domestic fighter aircraft. The J-11, J-15, J-16, and even the single-engine J-10 began to be replaced. .
However, at present, there are still many years for the maturity of Turbofan 10, and the prototype of Turbofan 15 has been released due to the full use of Lao Maozi's technology and craftsmanship, and it is also very successful. In the later period, weight reduction and increase will be promoted. When a new model comes out, its performance beats that of a turbofan by a dozen!
In this way, is the Turbofan 10 project unnecessary?
"Of course it is necessary." Mr. Gu immediately became anxious: "This Turbofan Fifteen is foreign after all, and the Turbofan Ten is our own. Although the Turbofan Ten will go through various difficulties, as long as the Turbofan Ten is successful, Then we have walked a complete path. In the future, we will slowly improve and improve, and it will not be too difficult. After all, this is our own child."
Qin Tao smiled: "I don't know much about this. Besides, I'm a shipbuilder, so it's not my turn to tell you what to do."
"No, Mr. Qin, your opinion is too important. Please support the Turbofan 10 project." Mr. Gu said seriously.
Qin Tao smiled and changed the topic: "I'm exhausted today. I have to go back and rest. I'll take a look at the J-15 project tomorrow. I don't know what stage this project has developed to."
"Mr. Qin, we have started replicating the airframe in a special factory. At present, the main frame of the airframe has been installed. These are copied according to the T-10k." Luo Yang said: "And, as long as With a brand new engine, our T-10k-7 that has not been disassembled will probably be able to fly."
What?
Qin Tao opened his eyes wide: "Can that prototype fly?"
Luo Yang nodded.
"If this prototype can fly, it means that as long as we get the engine, we can start initial training in Wasteland Village!" Qin Tao became excited: "How strong is the aircraft? "
When Delano asked him to fly the Su-27, it's hard to say about other aircraft. No one sold Qin Tao's face, but these prototypes are different. Qin Tao got them back. As long as they can fly, Qin Tao will If Delano can be arranged to fly, Delano is even the best candidate, because we need to practice landing and so on. Delano, an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, has the most experience and can be a coach!
"There is absolutely no problem with the strength. We have checked it, but the engine has reached the end of its life and we cannot disassemble it and repair it," Luo Yang said.
"Great, let's take a look tomorrow!"
Originally, he got two prototypes. Qin Tao just wanted domestic technicians to better imitate them. One was dismantled into parts and the other was kept intact as a prototype. However, he did not expect that one of them would have a chance to fly into the sky. .
The next day, in the special workshop of Factory 112, Qin Tao saw the work on site.
Relevant personnel have been busy on this project for a long time. The structure of the brand-new replica aircraft has been created with longitudinal beams and beams running through the entire fuselage. From the outline, you can already see the beautiful appearance. The prototype of the J-15.
It’s just that the internal equipment has not yet been installed. This prototype will take a long time. Moreover, even if it is assembled, it may be used for static testing and may not be able to fly.
The T-10k-7 has been completely refurbished, with all the exterior skin replaced with new aluminum alloy and painted with yellow primer.
"If this plane can still fly, it must have a number. What should it be called?" Qin Tao said to everyone.
The front represents the J-15, and the back represents the 601. Anyway, this number is just a factory number and can be chosen casually.
