Chapter 836

Hearing Qin Guan's words, President Gu was stunned. He thought a little and said, "hang our belly."

He can't find anywhere else.

It's all the trouble caused by the landing gear, because the landing gear occupies the valuable internal space of the wing. If you want to mount heavy missiles, you can only hang up the belly. This is also the characteristic of the second generation aircraft. The third generation aircraft all use the small three-point landing gear to make room for the space under the wing.

The wing cannot be hung. If you want to hang a bomb, you can only find space under the belly. Therefore, President Gu said to hang it under your own belly.

Hearing what President Gu said, Qin Guan continued, "how much can you hang there?"

"We can improve the stress structure below and hang at least two," Gu continued.

The J-8 is a project carried out by his men. He absolutely knows the J-8 like the back of his hand. Now, if he wants to find a place, he can only hang one under the belly. If he doesn't change it, he can only hang one along the center line of the belly.

If it is an anti-ship missile, it may make sense to hang one, but if it is an air-to-air missile, what is the use of hanging one?

Improve it. It should be able to insert two!

"These two undead birds weigh one ton, that is to say, after hanging this missile, we can't hang the auxiliary fuel tank anymore?" Qin Guan continued.

Hearing Qin Guan's question, President Gu nodded, "that's right."

This sentence is true. When the missile is hung, he can no longer find a place to hang an auxiliary fuel tank. When the J-8 2 was designed, a auxiliary fuel tank was hung in the midline of the aircraft belly.

Even so, the operational radius of the J-8 is only 800 kilometers, which is much larger than that of the J-7, but it is far worse than that of the male cat.

"If you can't hang the auxiliary fuel tank, can you deploy those airports to meet the air defense tasks in the southwest, as you just said?"

When Qin Guan asked, general Gu's face changed and he stopped talking.

Qin Guan was right in his words and pointed to the most critical place.

With the auxiliary fuel tank, we can have a large range, but we can't hang the undead bird. With the undead bird, the interception ability is enough, but we don't have enough range. How can we overcome this contradiction?

Moreover, not to mention anything else, just hanging two undead birds will also lead to a closer range of the fighter, because the air resistance is large and the result is significant.

When the J-8 was developed, it was aimed at high-altitude and high-speed interceptors. It can only carry light air-to-air missiles, but can't carry heavy missiles at all.

Even in later generations, it is said that a J-8 III has been transformed, and the maximum plug-in has been increased to 5 tons. It can carry four c801 / c802 / C803 air-to-ship missiles and two short-range combat missiles in sea attack, and can carry a variety of guidance weapons in ground attack. Moreover, the pylon under the J-8 III fuselage can hang an air to ground missile weighing about 1.5-2 tons to carry out strategic nuclear bombing missions.

However, these data are unrealistic and boastful.

"Yes, if the j-8-2 is replaced with a new turbofan engine and the fuel consumption rate is greatly reduced, it's almost the same." at this time, the air force commander said, "but if it's like this now, it's absolutely impossible to go on."

"Then there's no way?" Gu said reluctantly. Every time Qin Guan came, he seemed to disturb himself.

"Yes," Qin Guan said, "there are still some ways. This is to develop an air tanker."

When Qin Guan said this, everyone was stunned.

Han's territorial air defense is still a typical Xiong's way. A large number of forward bases are deployed to carry out territorial air defense operations under the guidance of ground radar stations. In this case, there is no need for long-range aircraft.

However, the vast southwest and northwest of the motherland, with open space, can not effectively guard all the airspace of the motherland. How to solve this problem when the number of existing aircraft is insufficient?

That's aerial refueling!

Aerial refueling can significantly increase the combat radius of aircraft, which is necessary for an offensive air force. Look at Eagle country, almost all pilots should master aerial refueling technology. Once their aircraft runs out of fuel, they will go to the nearby area to look for refueling aircraft.

Now, if you want to defend the airspace of the motherland, you need a long-range aircraft. If the flight range of the aircraft is not enough, the way you can think of is to use an air tanker!

Qin Guan has now put forward this plan.

"In addition to our air force, our navy also needs air tankers to meet the task of patrolling our southern coastal areas. Therefore, I think we should start the research and development of air refueling technology."

The Navy did not attend this meeting. The Han state is still a Continental Army. As long as the threat from the north is not eliminated, the status of the army is the first, followed by the air force. The navy can only develop itself with meager funds.

"Mr. Qin, how should we develop aerial refueling technology?" Mr. Gu asked.

Qin Guan's words gave him a hope that if his side can handle the air refueling technology, the j-8-2 fighter may still be accepted by China.

"We need big planes," Qin said. "Only big planes can meet our air refueling needs."

Qin Guan put forward the big plane again.

"We have started to develop Yunshi in China now. We hope that this aircraft can be completed as soon as possible and can be used to transform into our air tanker. Our northern industrial company is negotiating with NiuGuo. We want to introduce their sc-5 transport aircraft project and can also be used to transform into an air tanker. If it is ready-made, we can also transform our bombardment 6 into an air tanker Aerial tanker. "

Qin Guan put forward three plans in one breath: Yunshi modification, sc-5 modification and Hongliu modification. However, no matter which modification, the first thing to be solved is the technical difficulty of aerial refueling.

In history, the Han state used the bomb 6 to be converted into the bomb oil 6, and the J-8 2 to be converted into the J-8 2 d. it has the air refueling capability, but it took a long time to break through this air refueling technology and experiment again and again.

As for now, you don't have to bother so much.

Because the male cat fighter purchased from the Sabbath has the ability to refuel in the air, and people still use the retractable air refueling pipe.

The pilots and instructors from the Sabbath also have experience in aerial refueling, because the Sabbath also has aerial refueling aircraft.

With their teaching, our side can make rapid progress and quickly overcome this technical difficulty. It would be better if we use air tankers from the Sabbath.

"Yes, I agree to launch this plan," said General Zhang, commander of the air force. "Our air force should have long-range combat capability."
