Soon came to 6601.
Over the years, with the continuous development of other research institutes, 6601 Institute has become more and more tired. Its j-8-2 fighters have no orders. After the Sabbath has purchased them, almost no country is interested in this high-altitude and high-speed second-generation aircraft. After losing the orders, the whole institute will almost run out of ammunition and food.
Fortunately, there are still new projects supporting them. If there are no scientific research projects, the whole institute is afraid of going bankrupt. This project is a vertical takeoff and landing fighter. Moreover, this scientific research project is developed together with Xiong Guoren. The personnel of yaklev design bureau often coordinate it.
Although they don't like this project, now they have no technical reserves on the third generation aircraft, not to mention the fourth generation aircraft. Unless they can break a world on this vertical takeoff and landing fighter, their prospects are not good.
The supporting 1112 factory can subcontract the production of orders that cannot be completed by other factories, and it can still survive. However, as a scientific research institution, 6601 Institute is afraid that it will not be necessary to exist.
Their situation is almost the same as that of the yaklev Design Bureau.
In the early stage, they were very powerful. 6601 Institute was once the most powerful scientific research force in China. It was the big brother, just like Jacques aircraft once soared in the sky. Jacques aircraft was the most famous in the propeller age, but it was quickly marginalized in the jet age.
The 6601 Institute was very famous before the third generation machine. When it came to the third generation machine, it was quickly marginalized.
These are very impressive. If they had mapped and imitated Su 27 in those years, perhaps now the main heavy machine in China is Su 27.
When he set foot on the land here again, Qin Guan secretly thought that, however, things would not come back. If they chose to remain complacent, they chose today's result. Of course, Qin Guan can also see that as long as a scientific research institution continues to walk down firmly, there will still be a bright future. For example, this time, he looks forward to seeing a miracle.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to 6601 Institute." Mr. Gu came up and said.
Now president Gu has reached the age of retirement. It is said that he should retire to the second line and be the father of his J-8. However, the current situation of the research institute needs his continued support. Therefore, he is still struggling on the front line.
When they heard that Qin Guan was coming, they were very excited. President Gu personally went to the railway station to meet him.
"Well, when general Lin heard that I was coming, he came with me. Let's go around here." Qin Guan introduced to President Gu.
General Lin! President Gu was even more happy: "welcome general Lin!"
The market prospect of their vertical takeoff and landing fighter is very small. So far, only the Navy needs it, and the Air Force bases are on land. There is no need for the chicken rib method of vertical takeoff and landing. After years of development, the vertical takeoff and landing, once regarded as the development trend, has become the yellow flower of yesterday, and no air force is interested in it, The air force needs short takeoff and landing. If it is vertical, the gain is not worth the loss.
"Well, Lao Gu, it seems that you are radiant and strong now." general Lin said to general Gu.
"Yes, everyone, please get in the car. I can give you a brief report on the car." Mr. Gu said.
In the car, President Gu opened the conversation.
"The most important thing for a VTOL fighter is its power system. At the suggestion of President Qin, we take the way of lift fan. Among them, the most difficult is the transmission shaft and release clutch. These have been overcome. We have been able to make a transmission shaft with an output of tens of thousands of horsepower and a clutch with correct separation and combination In terms of life, there have been hundreds of hours. "
Although it is not long enough, hundreds of hours are good data. The life of vectoring nozzle is only dozens of hours, and it is still used.
"OK, we can go and have a look," Qin Guan said.
This time, we mainly look at the engine. The engine experiment is not in 6601 Institute, but in the supporting 4410 plant.
"The personnel of yaklev design bureau are also developing there. However, before going there, I want to invite President Qin and general Lin to our design institute first. We have a plan for a new aircraft and want to report to you."
After jointly developing the engine, the next step will be the research and development of fighter aircraft. In this regard, we did not cooperate with yaklev. After all, the technology of yaklev design bureau is not very advanced, and China has surpassed them in many aspects.
On the basis of this engine technology, 6601 Institute has developed its own design scheme.
"OK, let's go and have a look." Qin Guan said, "now let's talk about what kind of plane you're going to build?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin, the project we intend to carry out is a stealth VTOL fighter."
What, stealth? Hearing this, Qin Guan felt great joy in his heart. He didn't like a research institute that didn't want to make progress. In recent years, gratifying changes have taken place in 6601 Institute. They are also keeping up with the world's advanced level. They are also planning to build their own stealth fighters.
No matter whether the project can be approved in the end, if they have such vision and thinking, it's good. It's always more progressive than the chicken ribs of the J-13.
"Yes, stealth fighter. We have a hunch that the future sky belongs to the stealth era. Our fighter must have stealth performance, even if it is a vertical takeoff and landing fighter." President Gu said: "In this way, this fighter will have a larger market. However, due to our weakness in stealth technology, we hope to go to brother units to learn more."
Mr. Qin disagrees. All design institutes are competitive. Without Mr. Qin's coordination, they can't go. Moreover, they can't make a decision to develop an aircraft without Mr. Qin's support. If they only repair and repair on the basis of Jacques 141, it's almost the same. If they design a new stealth aircraft, they need a lot of preparation of
Qin Guan glanced at general Lin and saw that invisibility is the trend in the future. I told you that you don't believe in stealth bombers?
This is sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. You must have a vision of development and be forward-looking.
"Well, it's OK. It's necessary for our domestic design institutes to compete, but in addition to the competition, they must also cooperate." Qin Guan said, "tell me more about your stealth aircraft."
