Chapter 528： Pre-research of the new 1st generation fighter

Simonov's words are appreciated. It is absolutely genius to be able to fly just like Andrei by picking up any type of aircraft. After looking over the entire Soviet aviation unit, I can't find a second person. Come on, so, while the single-seat Su-27 is equipped with troops, it is necessary to have a two-seat Su-27 for training, raise the cockpit, pull down the nose to keep the center of gravity of the fighter unchanged, and transform the Su-27 The two-seater coach type comes.

With the two-seat type, it can not only be used for training, but also an additional operator, which is exactly what the fighter-bomber needs. Improved electronic equipment can better perform ground bombing missions while retaining the prototype. aircraft's air combat capability.

The Su-27 is a good airframe, has excellent potential for improvement, and can be easily modified into a variety of fighters. At the same time, it also includes carrier-based aircraft.

Now, the carrier-based aircraft on the Soviet aircraft carrier is the MiG-23K, which uses the MiG-23 body, greatly improves the avionics, the engine, and achieves nearly the performance of the third-generation aircraft. After all, it is only a transitional product. The first generation of carrier-based aircraft will appear between the MiG-29 and Su-27. Therefore, the task of improving the Su-27 into a carrier-based aircraft has also entered the research and development stage with the equipment of the prototype.

Speaking of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, Andrei also became excited. This time Andropov allowed himself to inspect everywhere. This aircraft carrier must be visited again!

"Yes, the task of carrier-based aircraft must be seized. Our aircraft carrier formation is a symbol of our country's strength, and we have many rights and interests at sea that need to be protected, and we need our aircraft carrier formation." Andre said. This time, if there is no dual aircraft carrier formation, how can these benefits of the Persian Gulf be obtained? Now, the Soviet Union has unified the understanding that aircraft carriers are necessary!

"Comrade Simonov, are you the one who grabbed these improved models?" Andrei asked.

Simonov shook his head: "No, the improvement of these models, I handed over to our young designers, Korchin, Melyanov and weapon system designer Victor Galushko, etc. People will do it, and I'm sure they'll do it well."

In the development of a model, it is the most difficult to start from scratch, and now, Sukhoi Design Bureau already has complete and mature models, and improvements on these models can already be delivered with complete confidence and boldness. Developed for others.

"Our design bureau has already started the development of the next-generation fighter." Simonov said: "General Andrei, the advice you have given us has inspired us a lot."

Next Generation Fighter! In history, every generation of Soviet fighter jets is a fighter jet that lags behind the United States, causing the Soviet Union to use the second-generation MiG-21 and MiG-23 to meet the third-generation U.S. aircraft F-15 and F-16, and later The advantage of the design is that it can comprehensively suppress the United States in various performance data, and the disadvantage is that it is always a generation behind the model!

And now, on the third-generation aircraft, the Soviet Union has caught up. With advanced electronic technology, the development of the Soviet Union's MiG-29 and Su-27 is still smooth, but even so, it is five years behind the F-15!

Now, after discovering that the advantages of the F-15 cannot be maintained, the United States has begun to make substantial improvements on the basis of the F-15, and produced the F-15C, a greatly modified fighter. The previous early models also It will be improved to the F-15C standard, and this is also a last resort when the Soviet Union has acquired the F-15 fighter and mastered the parameters of the prototype.

However, the United States obviously will not look at the backwardness of the Air Force fighters. While the F-15C is improving, the United States has begun the development of a new generation of fighters!

Just a few days ago, the United States started a call for proposals for the next generation of fighter jets, five years earlier than in history. Historically, the United States proposed the advanced tactical fighter program in the late 1970s, but it did not begin until 1985, after the Su-27 entered service. And now, just before the arrival of 1981, the Su-27 was in service. Under the stimulation of the Su-27, the United States started the development of the next-generation fighter!

Of course, the Soviet Union will not regress. In the third-generation aircraft, the Soviet Union was five years behind, and now, the Soviet Union is finally standing on the same starting line with the United States!

Hearing about the development of the next-generation fighter jet, Andre was very interested. The current meeting is actually a briefing by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Except for Andre, who is a novice and has never heard of it before, the rest of the people , in fact, have already contacted.

"The first is our design index. The United States has put forward plans for advanced fighter jets, which require supersonic cruise capability, super maneuverability, stealth performance and advanced electronic warfare capabilities." Simonov said: "And our fighters, of course, are also On these items, it exceeds or at least equals the Americans."

The third-generation aircraft has just been commissioned, and the fourth-generation aircraft has begun pre-research. In fact, the development of military aircraft is such a law. (Actually, the standards of the Soviet Union and the United States are different. According to the standards of the Soviet Union, the Su-27 is considered a fourth-generation aircraft, and the new aircraft should be called a fifth-generation aircraft. Let’s talk about it, just follow the division of the United States.) In later generations, Chengfei After the completion of the J-10 Mr. Song handed over the improvement of the J-10 to others, and went to work on the next-generation fighter by himself.

Andrei nodded and was able to put stealth performance in a key position. It seems that the Soviet aviation industry will no longer take a slant, focusing only on maneuverability and ignoring stealth performance.

"First of all, the general principle we have determined is that our current airframe is very advanced, so our new fighter is mainly to improve the existing airframe to make it have stealth performance, for example, according to General Andrei As said, the vertical tail is tilted, the air intake is blocked, the nose also changes shape, and the weapon is built-in." Simonov said: "Our stealth coating has also begun to develop, and we hope to catch up with the progress."

Abandoning the unreliable plasma stealth technology, Simonov, at Andrei's suggestion, became more pragmatic.

"At the same time, on the existing basis, we intend to install a pair of canards on the fighter to improve the agility of our fighter, and the relevant design is being developed." Simonov said.

Hearing this, Andre was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a sentence: "The best canards are on the enemy's fighter fuselage, Comrade Simonov, if we put canards on the fighter, it will be a detour. ." (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
