To be fair, the Typhoon fighter is not backward. Its performance has reached the peak of military aircraft research and development in Europe!
Relying on the advanced canard layout and belly intake layout, it has high agility and first-class maneuverability. Moreover, it also has two advanced ej200 engines. The thrust level is the same as that of the previous rb199, but the performance is higher. According to their plan, the thrust weight ratio of this aircraft is even close to 10!
If the aircraft model ends, their engine project will certainly end. Such a loss is huge.
Now, after hearing Brent's idea, wallop only felt a deep feeling in his heart. If the air force has no confidence in the fighters developed by itself, or even does not intend to support them, they may not be able to carry on.
"We are all old friends, so I won't hide it," Brent said "The air force recently plans to send a team of people to contact the eagle country, hoping that the eagle country can export stealth aircraft to us. The future era belongs to stealth aircraft. If we focus on this project, the investment of the air force in typhoon fighters will certainly be much smaller than planned."
The air force should look to the future. This project in China will be very destructive. It is conceivable that many countries in Europe may buy this stealth aircraft. Even if it is ten or twenty, it is also a fourth generation stealth aircraft.
In this way, NiuGuo air force will find that it is full of stealth aircraft around it. What should they do?
Only stealth aircraft can deal with stealth aircraft. If you want to develop stealth aircraft, you can only rely on the eagle country. After all, only the eagle country has this R & D ability. Otherwise, do they have to buy it with the Han country?
As an old empire, how can they buy weapons from a developing country such as Han? Do they still have face?
Without Han, the performance of Typhoon fighter is quite advanced, which is enough to become the pride of Europe. Unfortunately, it is not a stealth aircraft. Even how many similar products are hanged in the third generation aircraft, it is useless in the era of the fourth generation aircraft.
The fourth generation aircraft has the advantage of generation difference over the third generation aircraft. Niu guoair force has realized this crisis.
Maybe the air force still needs a typhoon. After all, the current strong wind of the air force can't serve the stealth aircraft, and the expensive price of the stealth aircraft also makes it impossible for them to change one by one, but the order quantity will be greatly reduced.
Wallop felt dark and almost fainted. The air force planned to outsource. Sure enough, the air force, a traitor, did not support his own national enterprises and ran to get close to Eagle country!
Wait, wait, things are still changing.
Where is it so easy to buy stealth aircraft in Eagle country? Eagle country's F-22 is the most advanced stealth aircraft. It is a double engine heavy air control fighter. According to Eagle people's plan, this kind of aircraft belongs to its own use and will not be exported at all.
Thinking of this, wallop tried to keep his mood stable, and then said, "Eagle has no plan to export stealth aircraft. If the air force can't buy it, will it consider our typhoon?"
"Typhoon fighter, can you be invisible?" Brent asked.
Wallop wants to say yes, but he thinks it's too boastful. Even with the stealth coating, it's not easy to make this aircraft invisible. Just the abdominal air inlet leads to a large increase in radar reflection area. This is a dead hole and can't be changed at all.
So, NiuGuo aerospace company, is it going to decline like this?
With complex psychology, wallop left the air force and was the staff. He even felt gray.
There are also some ways. For example, they can develop the fourth generation machines themselves.
However, the high investment makes wallop feel that the future is bleak. The board of directors is serious. If they invest a lot of money, the return is very small, and may even bring the aerospace company to a desperate situation, will they agree with the project?
Typhoon fighters can only be developed jointly by several countries. None of them can afford them, let alone the fourth generation aircraft. The investment of this kind of aircraft is greater, because they have almost no technical reserves in stealth technology.
For a moment, the aerospace company even felt like it was on a dead end.
"Mr. Qin, the news from NiuGuo is coming. The prospect of the Typhoon fighter project is not good." when the meeting was over, Qin Guan was on his way home. The scholar introduced the latest news to Qin Guan.
When Hans joined its own project, it can be expected that the prospect of typhoon fighters is not optimistic. Now, in the face of this situation, scholars are very happy. If this giant goes bankrupt, there must be many business opportunities. It is possible for our side to occupy the European market.
"Well, now they just feel that their future is uncertain. They will certainly gain something in a short time," Qin Guan said.
What? The scholar looked at Qin Guan puzzled: "can they still develop the fourth generation machine by themselves?"
"Of course not." Qin Guan said, "with the progress of our plan, the eagle people will certainly have countermeasures. It is estimated that their joint fighter project will also start."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. NiuGuo aerospace company, where can it go bankrupt so easily.
Qin Guan didn't think that either. Otherwise, he would have a dead enemy with Niu Guo.
In fact, it's almost the same now. After all, in that parallel time and space, in January 1994, the Ministry of defense of the eagle country launched the jast (Joint Advanced strike technology) project to try to develop a multi service shared fighter, which was the predecessor of the later famous JSF (Joint Strike fighter) project.
Of course, such a big cake should be watched by various military aircraft R & D giants, and Niu Guo also joined in. McDonnell Douglas formed a R & D team with Norge and Niu Guo aerospace, while Lockheed and Boeing fought alone.
Among the three competitors, their three combined teams are undoubtedly the most powerful. McDonnell Douglas is an old fighter manufacturer, and the F-15 and F-18 are owned by others; As an old shipborne fighter manufacturer, Norge also developed the stealth aircraft yf-23 "black widow II" which failed in the final bidding; As for NiuGuo aerospace company, as the inventor of harrier fighter, they have great advantages in the development of vertical takeoff and landing fighter.
Originally thought it was a sure bet, but it was the first to eliminate it. After it was out, NiuGuo Aerospace chose to cooperate with Lockheed. They also contributed to the final F35.
Therefore, now Qin Guan believes that they will certainly come to this step. Eagle F22 cannot be exported, so they have to develop a low-grade aircraft. Now, under the aggressive pressure of their own side, if they don't come up with countermeasures quickly, they can't watch their own side occupy the market?
However, the prospect of typhoon fighters is not optimistic. In this way, our own side can occupy more of the third-generation aircraft market.
