When an aircraft develops into a technical verification aircraft, it has already taken a big step away from being practical. You must know that the development of an aircraft must go through the process of test flight, and the technical verification aircraft is simply in the Test flight is over.
Now, with the continuous development of the economy, the Soviet Union can finally follow the path of the wealthy United States and create a technology verification machine first! Verify that these techniques work!
Although Andre is an expert in fighter planes, when it comes to the development of specific fighter planes, Andre is still a layman, so he can no longer provide any guidance. Now, sitting in the conference room of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, listening to the explanations of the comrades of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, Andre can only nod his head frequently like everyone else.
The specific design plans of each item are all condensed with the hard work of the technicians. Looking at this fighter plane similar to the black ribbon of later generations, Andre can't say anything. Let the experts decide everything. !
After the introduction of the project, Andre said: "I remember, we also have a joint development project with Huaxia, the Super Seven project, how is it going?"
The Super Seven project was an arrangement made by Andre last year. The most important purpose of this project is to dig a hole to pull Pakistan over and oppose the United States.
And now, after so long in the blink of an eye, Andre still doesn't know the progress of this project!
"We can ask Alexander to explain about the Super Seven Projects." Beriakov said, handing the microphone to a designer sitting at the bottom.
Alexander, who was in charge of the Super Seven projects, was also very excited at this time. He didn't join the project to develop the MiG 1.44, which made Alexander very unhappy. However, as a project leader, Alexander also felt the refreshment of the leader.
"Reporting to Comrade Minister of Defense, General Andrei, and Comrade Ivan." Alexander said: "So far, the Super Seven projects are progressing smoothly. We have completed the overall design and are building the first prototype. Of course. , thanks to General Andrei's advice, we're pretty much designing the f-16."
The simplest design, of course, is to copy! At the beginning, when contacting various forces and preparing to improve the J-7 on a large scale, since the performance was increased according to the requirements of Egypt, it is natural to copy the advanced f-16!
So, the slide I see now, the plane above, is almost exactly the same as the f-16! After surveying and mapping, and then reverse imitation, Huaxia is very good at doing this!
"We are not completely copying the design of the f-16. For example, the f-16 was originally a low-end aircraft in the US equipment sequence. The air intake of this aircraft has no adjustment device, resulting in a low maximum speed, and our customers require Use this aircraft as the main air fighter, so it must have high-speed performance similar to the MiG 21, so we used a new adjustable baffle air intake, at the same time with our rd-33 engine Matching, relying on wing-body fusion and other designs, our fighter can fully reach 80% of the capabilities of the MiG-29, but the manufacturing cost is only half."
The project was progressing smoothly, and Andre was relieved. Andre then asked: "Then our foreign trade machine is no problem in terms of investment, right?"
"Yes, so far, Pakistan has expressed satisfaction. If the production line can finally be exported to Pakistan, Pakistan may eventually equip about 250 aircraft, while Egypt will also be equipped with 200 to 300 aircraft. It can be said that as a foreign trade project , our Super Seven project is a success." Alexander said.
As a foreign trade project, Chaoqi was quite successful! For use by countries in the third world, the cost is low, and the combat effectiveness is not low. It can be said that compared with our own MiG 29, Super Seven is obviously more suitable!
For Mikoyan Company, this can further expand the prestige of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Of course, Alexander can vaguely guess the deeper intentions, but it is inconvenient to say.
The design of the entire fighter jet is based on the Soviet system standard. In the future, if the Pakistanis want to convert it into a product using American-made parts, it is almost the same as redesigning and manufacturing!
General Andrei, it's like a cloud of water when it comes to pitting people!
The slides played one by one, and soon, the last one was reached. Wait, this one looks wrong, right? Looking at the angular shape, Andre couldn't help asking: "Alexander, what is the last one?"
Alexander glanced at it, then coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, General Andrei, I came here in a hurry this time, and ended up bringing us this idea."
Imagine a picture? Andrei suddenly became interested: "Do you have any new ideas?"
"Yes, General Andre, our international cooperation this time is very smooth. UU Reading " Alexander said: "The Super Seven fighters we jointly developed are quite popular in third world countries. Therefore, we are thinking that with the continuous progress of the times, those countries with economic strength will definitely want to equip stealth fighters, such as Huaxia, there is absolutely demand. However, our own current stealth aircraft project is extremely confidential. , so it will never be exported, so maybe we can use foreign investment and continue to use the current method to come up with a stealth fighter specially designed for foreign trade."
Hearing Alexander's words, Belyakov on the side was stunned: "Comrade Alexander, how can you take out the abandoned project of the Design Bureau and use it as an international cooperation project?"
Abandoned project by the design bureau? Looking at the sci-fi general appearance above, Andrei's mind suddenly remembered a design plan in history.
The MiG-37, NATO codenamed Ferret, a supersonic stealth fighter that died prematurely!
Belyakov actually opposed this project. Although Andrei was not very old, his experience was not shallow, and he immediately saw that Alexander was ambitious. Of course, he will not succumb to only researching a low-end third-generation fighter from a copycat. He definitely wants to develop a new fighter that adapts to the future trend, and then make a name for himself in history. It is a pity that he could not participate in the stealth aircraft project of Mikoyan Design Bureau, so he deliberately found this alternative project, in an attempt to be reborn through international cooperation.
A designer who doesn't want to be a first-class aircraft designer is not a good designer! Although Alexander played a conspiracy, in Andre's eyes, this was all tolerable. Moreover, he is indeed very interested in this project.
