In addition, this composite material is really very strong. It can carry as a structural member, not to mention, but also absorb and transmit electromagnetic waves. In addition, it has the advantages of light material and high strength!
It can be said that the material is almost perfect! Moreover, it also has strong performance in high temperature resistance, which means that it is not a problem to break through the thermal barrier caused by Mach 3 or above.
I'm afraid that's why the speed of the phantom can reach the Mach 4 limit speed! Because its mass is much lighter than expected!
But now there is a problem... This composite absorbing material... Can't be made!
It can't be said that it can't be made. The manufacturing difficulty of this composite material is very high! It can be said that many abnormal people with high conditions! At present, if you want to make it, there is only one point, made in the laboratory!
If it is built in the laboratory, the cost of completing a phantom is not included in the R & D cost, but only the construction cost. Jiang Yanhai asked Erdan to estimate it. According to the current actual cost, it is about twice that of F22!
The cost of F22 is 190 million US dollars. According to 200 million US dollars, a phantom will cost about 400 million US dollars. Note that this is the cost!
If it's an old American thing, according to the characteristics of the old American, if it is sold, it is estimated that it will jump to at least $100 million behind the double digits.
Of course, if there is such a thing, it is estimated that Laomei can't sell it.
At this price, China really can't afford to play! How much is the current domestic military spending a year? Of course, R & D expenses and military expenses are two concepts.
This means that its R & D cost is infinitely close to zero. Wouldn't it be too much to add $5 billion to its R & D cost according to the American algorithm?
If the R & D cost of US $5 billion is included, the ex factory price of US $500 million for a single machine should be acceptable. After all, the R & D cost should be shared equally.
However, without solving the manufacturing problem of composite materials on a large scale, there are only two options to use phantom.
That is, the fuselage adopts a conventional structure, and then only uses invisible paint to sacrifice its ultimate speed. In this way, its performance is also very powerful.
But the power is limited. If high composite materials are used, the result will be very simple. The speed can reach Mach 4 at most. I can get rid of some air-to-air missiles without boasting!
You don't need any maneuvers. You can eat it directly. If you have the ability, you can chase it!
At present, there are few air-to-air missiles capable of exceeding Mach 4, and the number of air defense missiles is not large.
Of course, we can't say no, but the missile launch is not launched behind your ass. it must be launched from a long distance from you. In this way, the effective range of the enemy's missile is greatly shortened.
But the enemy's effective range is shortened, and yours is not.
Can its combat effectiveness not be strong? And its bomb load is so abnormal that it is estimated that it will not be a problem to abuse a team of F22 at that time.
Jiang Yanhai thought that the material of the engine was the most important, but now it seems that this composite material is the most troublesome! Because there is another reason, that is, the one Li Yunfeng prepared for him is a top material laboratory, which can not complete the manufacturing of this composite material.
It needs to use some of the country's specific top experimental equipment and some of the country's important tools. To put it bluntly, only the country can make such things!
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yanhai shook his head. Now this material really feels a little invisible. Forget it. Put this material in the back first. Fortunately, invisible coatings can be easily manufactured. As for the back, it's a big deal to increase the research and development in this field.
Now J20 and F22, including phantom, are regarded as generation 4 fighters. The future generation 5 fighters must move towards the composite materials of the whole body. These aspects need to be invested sooner or later. Let's invest early.
Li Yunfeng has bought an Aeroengine Research Institute, and Jiang Yanhai went directly after determining it.
In fact, this Aeroengine Research Institute was half a National Research Institute before. It could get state financial support before, but because their R & D progress could not keep up, it could only be eliminated naturally.
Now that Li Yunfeng has taken over, the country is naturally happy, because there are Taihang as the main engine research institute, and two other engine research institutes to study the flight departure of large civil aircraft.
In fact, so many engine research institutes can't be used, and if there is one among the people, it won't cost the national R & D funds, of course.
When the time comes to study the engine, as long as you can use it, the problem of who will study it is not big. The state can purchase directly, and the price can be a little higher, so as to give enterprises enough profits and let enterprises gradually start competition!
These are good things.
Therefore, Li Yunfeng didn't take much effort to win the Institute, and the researchers inside, Li Yunfeng once took over directly. Jiang Yanhai came here this time, he didn't hesitate too much, but directly took out all the engine design drawings.
In fact, the design drawings drawn by Jiang Yanhai himself were taken out.
"You guys, this is the engine I designed, which is different from the current mainstream engine design. I know you may question it, but all questions should be made after it is manufactured! I have successfully developed its materials before." Jiang Yanhai said to everyone.
Jiang Yanhai's tone is very sincere. The reason for this is that there are still many famous researchers in this research institute. Unlike the material research institute above, there are some ordinary high-tech talents.
There are many researchers who are already famous in this industry. Jiang Yanhai's attitude is naturally not less.
Moreover, some people here have also heard Jiang Yanhai's name, "so you are the boy who has studied the latest engine materials, awesome!" the leader is a 60-year-old man with gray hair. Although he can't be said to be the top engine design scientist in China.
But it's also famous in the second level. After all, the Institute can't have no capital at all. The old man's surname is Zhao and his name is Zhao Jianguo. He has a distinctive name in those years.
"Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be so polite to me. It's just a coincidence." Jiang Yanhai smiled.
"It's no coincidence to do research. You must have made great efforts in this area, so you can achieve something. However, you let us directly follow your design drawings, so confident?" Zhao smiled and asked.
"Yes, I think sometimes it's necessary to have confidence in research." Jiang Yanhai said seriously. "I've calculated this myself countless times. I don't refer to the design scheme of mainstream engine, so I don't know whether it will succeed or not, but it's OK in theory."
"Therefore, I hope to produce it according to my requirements first," Jiang Yanhai added.
