Chapter 1336

"Ty-22 UAV?" After listening to the words of the head of the headquarters, without waiting for Zhuang Jianye's reply, the leader of the army turned to the head of the headquarters: "this model is very strange. Is there a project in the headquarters?"

"No project!" The head of the headquarters answered quickly after hearing the words, and then stepped forward to the leader of the army and explained in a low voice: "things have to start from the time of the old head of the headquarters..."

It turns out that as early as 12 years ago, Tengfei group, which has just been restructured from Tengfei aviation manufacturing plant, has begun to study the aerodynamic layout of flying wings.

However, under the conditions at that time, Tengfei group could not be compared with Northrop company in the United States. They were generation after generation of prototypes. They smashed the later B-2 stealth bombers and yf-23 fighter planes which were even better than the F-22 with us dollars and the youth of technicians.

At that time, Tengfei group didn't have such strong conditions at all, let alone China's. even with the strength of the whole country, it was difficult to compete with Northrop at all costs.

The problem is that at that time, Tengfei group did not have the strength of Northrop, but also had its own unique advantage, that is, its own UAV. At that time, Tengfei group was in the period of great development of its UAV. Therefore, under the proposal of Zhuang Jianye, Tengfei group incorporated the research on flying wing aerodynamic layout into the framework of UAV, Relying on the UAV system to improve this high-quality aircraft with great potential in the future.

So there's ty-22.

At that time, Tengfei group's ty-2 UAV platform, attack-2 UAV and reconnaissance-8 UAV had been serving in the army one after another, so Zhuang Jianye wanted to apply to the headquarters for a sum of money, so as to better study the characteristics and precise control of the flying wing aerodynamic layout of ty-22 UAV.

At that time, the headquarters attached great importance to the UAV of Tengfei group, and immediately sent an expert group to evaluate the ty-22 UAV

In the process of evaluation, ty-22 UAV dropped its chain directly, and three flight tests in a row all fell to the ground directly from the sky because of the control system malfunction.

Not only three UAVs were destroyed, but also the patience of the evaluation expert group was exhausted, and a disqualification was directly filled in the report, and the ty-22 UAV of Tengfei group was directly rejected.

If we put it in a few years' time, even if the ty-22 UAV of Tengfei group at that time was only a reduced variant of German ho-229 bomber during World War II, it is estimated that it would not be directly rejected.

Because at that time, the world's first real stealth bomber, the B-2, had been made public. The flying wing layout, which overturned the traditional layout, was so fascinating that it set off a new upsurge of research on flying wing layout all over the world.

The problem is that when the ty-22 UAV was evaluated, the B-2 bomber was still in a state of strict confidentiality, not to mention that it was not clear at home, but the KGB of the Soviet Union had no concept in its head at that time, only knew that the American Ghost beast was holding big moves in the aspect of bombers.

In addition, at that time, the aviation industry generally believed that the flying wing layout was difficult to control, the mobility was poor, and the flight speed was slow, so it was not the first choice for future combat aircraft, so it was not popular.

All kinds of factors combined, leading to the final ty-22 UAV was directly rejected by the headquarters.

Originally, this happened when the old head of the headquarters was in office. The current head of the headquarters was not clear. Coincidentally, when he was re elected as head of the headquarters, the B-2 stealth bomber of the United States officially appeared in public. So before he left office, the old head of the headquarters explained that if one day Tengfei group picked up the ty-22 UAV again, he would more or less support it.

Although the current head of the headquarters remembers the words of the old head of the headquarters, at that time, all kinds of domestic reforms came to a critical juncture, and all kinds of things can be described as complicated. The new head of the headquarters was too busy to occupy space. On the plane, Tengfei group did not hear about the restart of ty-22 UAV. It was just a UAV, and it was still a failure, The head of the headquarters forgot about it.

If we hadn't seen the VTOL verification aircraft with semi flying wing configuration today, it would be hard for the head of the headquarters to remember that China's take-off still has ty-22 UAV in hand.

After listening to the causes and consequences, the military leaders looked at the vertical take-off and landing verification plane in front of them, which is somewhat similar to the yf-23. Why don't they understand the truth?

If China's take-off does not have the technical accumulation and experience summary of the flying wing aerodynamic layout behind it, it will not be able to make the VTOL verification aircraft in front of us. The reason is very simple. This kind of aircraft is not the technology and talent, but the most valuable experience.

But China's take-off is actually done. What does it mean?

The ty-22 UAV that was lost in those years was not lost at all. Instead, it has been studied in this field for more than ten years. The VTOL verification machine in front of us is the best proof!

"Xiaozhuang, I didn't expect that you still have such a deep family background in China's take-off..." thinking of this, the military leaders turned to Zhuang Jianye, with a more intense smile: "well report, where is your ty-22 UAV going?"

"Chief report, our ty-22 UAV has developed to the fifth generation." Zhuang Jianye answered quickly.

"Oh?" After hearing this, the military leaders became interested: "is there a prototype machine in the fifth generation? Can we see what this drone is like? Do you want to be like what the Americans say, like an alien spaceship? "

"There's no one here, but there's one at the factory test site over at Xingzhou, but the corner reflector has been removed. If it comes, it's estimated that it will take three or four hours..."

"How far is Xingzhou from here? It's less than 500 kilometers. Where can I wait so long? And what are you doing with corner reflectors on drones? You're not afraid of falling over weight? "

Before Zhuang Jianye had finished speaking, the head of the headquarters interrupted directly. The barrage of questions made Zhuang Jianye laugh bitterly. The head of the headquarters was so angry that he said, "you're still young. Hurry to get the plane over here!"

Zhuang Jianye had no choice but to explain: "it's not that I don't want to do it, chief. The key is that we have to report the air situation all the way. If we don't install angle reflectors, the ground radar can't see it at all. Unless you order to clear it on a certain military route, what can we do if there is an aviation accident?"

The head of the headquarters was shocked, and immediately looked at the military leaders. The military leaders' eyes became more fiery. Without hesitation, he said: "get out of the way of a military route, let ty-22 UAV fly over. At the same time, let the ground radar pay close attention to it, and report the suspicious target of this route immediately."

"Yes The officer on one side turned to give orders.

Forty minutes later, the air intelligence radar didn't wait for a report. On the contrary, over the airport of the aerospace production and manufacturing base, there appeared an aircraft like an alien. Its whole body was gray and its shape was ferocious. As the height decreased, it soon showed its true appearance in front of the public. A chief of the air force, who was an aviation officer, saw this scene through a telescope, Teng immediately stood up from the temporary seat, pointed to the landing ty-22 UAV and yelled: "yes, this is the bomber I expected, this is the bomber I expected, this is the seed of our bomber..."
