Chapter 756

Merlinz was also dazzled by the $9.98 million price tag. I don't know how long later, he looked back at the seemingly conventional layout in the spotlight, but in fact there was no Jian Jiao 7max advanced trainer belonging to the conventional category, and then looked at the price tag again.

Face incredible look has always been unable to control, involuntarily in the freckled face covered with full.

Despite this, merlinz still couldn't believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes with his hands. He couldn't understand why the j-jiao-7max, which is comparable to a light combat aircraft, was only priced at US $9.98 million.

I can't help it. The brand in front of the plane has a series of performance introductions in addition to the huge $9.98 million.

equipped with a turbojet-13 engine.

The normal thrust is 4.3 tons.

The afterburner thrust is 6.4 tons.

The maximum range is 1200 km.

The weight of external store is 2.6 tons.

The practical lifting limit is 16000m.

Limit overload: negative 2G to positive 8g.

Judging from the data and the actual real aircraft, the size of the J-7 Max is not large. At most, it is only two-thirds of the F-16 and one-half of the F-15. At most, it is the F-5 level that the US military has eliminated.

However, the size of the j-jiao-7max is small, but its performance is not inferior at all. In terms of the roll speed and the maximum turning speed, which are the two most challenging maneuvering indexes of the third generation aircraft, the j-jiao-7max is almost the same as the F-16. In other words, the j-jiao-7max is not inferior to the F-16 in the subsonic maneuverability at medium and low altitude, and far superior to other advanced trainer aircraft of the same level.

The problem is that this is not a paper performance, but a real reality that can be fully realized. After all, although the strake wing plus double delta wing is complex, it has unique excellent performance in low and medium altitude subsonic speed. With the lift body structure of full motion horizontal tail and wing body fusion, it has the mobility of F-16, which is a probability event.

Perhaps the only thing lacking is the engine, the turbojet-13, which is obviously a self-made aeroengine in China. The afterburner thrust is only 6.4 tons, and it is only the turbojet rather than the turbofan. Obviously, there is some lack of power.

Because of this, the excellent aerodynamic design of j-jiao 7max has not shown its real potential. If the 6-ton turbofan is replaced in the future, j-jiao 7max will have a qualitative leap. By then, with the advanced avionics and fire control radar, j-jiao 7max can compete with F-16 and mirage 2000 in the sky.

However, at that time, the j-jiao-7max will not be a trainer, but a real fighter. So at this moment, as a trainer, the j-jiao-7max has no problem in choosing the turbojet-13. After all, the biggest task attribute of the trainer is to train pilots. In this regard, today's j-jiao-7max configuration can be superior to a number of international senior coaches Machine.

Among them is the trainer program led by merlinz.

If maleshevsky was shocked to see the J-7 max, merlinz could only describe it as despair.

The reason is very simple. The trainer project that merlinz is in charge of is not the official main equipment model of the US Army, but the dismounting project that was killed by the US army a few years ago.

That is to say, the t-46 trainer, which was prepared to replace the t-37c intermediate trainer currently in service by the U.S. Army in those years.

At that time, the US military confirmed that it really considered replacing the t-37c intermediate trainer, so merlinz, who worked for Fairchild aviation manufacturing company at that time, participated in the development of the t-46 trainer.

After two or three years of hard work, the prototype plane was successfully tested, but the budget was seriously overspent. In addition, the U.S. military found that the t-37c intermediate trainer could persist for more than ten years after upgrading, so it was not cost-effective to purchase new aircraft, so it directly cut down the t-46 trainer.

Fairchild aviation manufacturing company, which was expecting to make a lot of money from t-46 trainer, did not expect to end up throwing a stone on its own feet. Instead, it did not make any money. On the contrary, it suffered from blood loss and could only apply for bankruptcy.

At this time, McDonnell Douglas valued Xiantong's technological strength in aerospace. In addition to aircraft, Xiantong also undertook the processing and manufacturing of NASA's radio antenna, collective shell, and carrier rocket's secondary liquid oxygen tank.

At that time, McDonnell Douglas undertook the upgrading of the US Air Force's strategic ballistic missiles. He needed to enhance his technical strength in this area, so he took Fairchild aviation manufacturing company under his command.Then there was a drastic reorganization. Fairchild aviation manufacturing company was retained and nominally became a subsidiary of McDonnell Douglas. When you go out, you can also use McDonnell Douglas's name. You can enjoy the cool by looking at the tree behind you. The situation should be better than before. But in fact, Fairchild aviation manufacturing company after the reorganization is one sky and one underground compared with before.

Because McDonnell Douglas values the space version, the purpose of the reorganization is to cut out the space plate as a whole, integrate it into the mainstream system of McDonnell Douglas, and take care of it like a married grandson.

The rest of the airline business, McDonnell Douglas half a wink, when a stepmother to engage in a subsidiary, let its own survival.

Because of this, although Fairchild company can draw on some resources of McDonnell Douglas, it is very limited. Even at some times, McDonnell Douglas can't wait for Fairchild company to collapse quickly, so that it doesn't have to pay so much salary and insurance every month, which can save some costs.

But as a shareholder and executive of Fairchild, merlinz naturally doesn't want to see his own industry collapse. If McDonnell Douglas can't help, he can only rely on himself. Since the U.S. Army has dismounted the t-46, it doesn't mean that other countries in the world don't need it. After all, as an alternative model of the t-37c intermediate trainer, it still has many merits.

For example, its initial supersonic flight capability is not comparable to that of the general trainer.

Realizing this, merlinz quickly changed his mind and began to sell his t-46 trainer all over the world, not to mention that some people really took the bait. This country is no other than Japan.

However, Japan is not only interested in the performance of the t-46, but also in the favorable technology transfer conditions of merlinz. After paying a large amount of patent fees and purchasing money for the production line, Japan finally built a "pure domestic" T-3 intermediate trainer.

Merlinz, who made a lot of money from the Japanese, not only allowed Xiantong company to survive, but also got inspiration from the deal, that is, he could use the t-46 trainer to earn the cost of patent interview or technology output. Based on this idea, after learning about the Thai bidding training machine, merlinz came with the newly formed team to kill the generals, ready to make no reservation Export what they call "American technology"!
