Chapter 854： 2 giant rivalry

? In the past, Andre strongly opposed canards. However, at that time, Andre was not completely opposed to the canard layout. What Andre opposed was to install canards on the Su-27 and turn it into a three-wing aircraft. , looks majestic, but in fact it does more harm than good.

As for the aircraft that was originally a duck layout, although Andre did not agree with it, he did not express extreme disgust at the same time. After all, in future generations, except for the United States, almost all other new fighter jets have a duck-style layout, which shows that this type of aircraft also has advantages, especially in terms of instantaneous turning performance. The duck-style layout was originally called the head-up layout. of.

Andrei was just disgusted that the Mikoyan Design Bureau did not take stealth seriously, and put all the blocking on the plasma stealth technology.

And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has obviously left behind. Under his own suggestion, Sukhoi's fastest forming plan, of course, is to carry out stealth on the basis of Su-27, similar to the t-50 plan. At the same time, Sukhoi Design Bureau also chose the duck layout plan. !

Andre is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to understand everything. Andre's advantage lies in these unpredictable prophets from later generations. In terms of specific academics, it is definitely not as good as these old scholars.

Moreover, as a test pilot in the previous life, Andre always stayed with Shen Fei, and did not come into contact with too many stealth designs. As for the J-31 produced by Shen Fei, hehehe...

So, in fact, in Andre's heart, duck layout is not completely rejected. And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also wants to do both at the same time. It can be seen that the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not very confident about its own plan, and at the same time, it is determined to win!

With these two giants competing with each other, choosing the best from them is the most suitable way!

"I'm just a pilot, not an expert. I respect your choice." Andre said, "However, will it involve energy when you develop these two types of aircraft at the same time?"

You must know that the Mikoyan Design Bureau in history only researched one kind of MiG 1.44, which took a lot of energy and time. In the end, the Soviet Union disintegrated and did not come out.

And now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has done both at the same time! In this case, will not have enough energy?

"Of course not, our two aircraft actually have a lot in common." Simonov said: "At the same time, our new duck-style fighter has a higher footing. When designing, we are more Most of it is considered as a newer generation of fighter aircraft, for example, the weapon of this aircraft, we plan to equip it with electromagnetic guns.”

Electromagnetic gun! With the continuous development of the Soviet economy, there are sufficient funds to support the research and development of various black technologies. The orbital laser weapon is one type, and the electromagnetic gun can also be regarded as another type. So far, Andrei has finally put the current situation in front of him. This fighter jet matches the one in history.

Regardless of future generations, at least now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is really fighting. After all, in the project of the third-generation aircraft, the Su-27 stabilized the MiG-29, and in the project of the fourth-generation aircraft, Sukhoi designed The bureau also needs to accumulate a lot and continue to struggle.

As for what the future will be like, even Andre is looking forward to it, and now, for such a big guy, Andre is undeniable. After all, if the technology is too advanced, the risk of research and development is also great. of. As for who the new generation of fighter jets will be, this is a pivotal progress for the Soviet aviation industry!

After visiting the Sukhoi Design Bureau for half a day, Andrei and his party came to Zhukovsky's Gromov Test Flight Academy for the second half.

Last year, the Moscow Airshow was held here, attracting many tourists to watch it, opening the window of Moscow to the people of the world, allowing them to understand what this country, which has been portrayed as a monstrous beast in the Western media, is like. A scene, facts speak louder than words, and the Soviet advanced technology level, strong cultural atmosphere, good living environment and salary level, let the West realize that this country is full of vitality.

And when the air show passed, the place returned to tranquility again, and as an important aviation scientific research base for the Soviets, the degree of secrecy here is also quite high.

After going through several gates and finally entering the flight test institute, Andre was shocked again.

Originally, Andrei came here mainly to see the test flight of the new aircraft of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. However, the plane was not seen, but was first stunned by an aircraft on the runway that was preparing for a test flight.

From the rear of the fuselage, it looks exactly like a MiG-25, with a huge rectangular air intake, dual-engine and dual-vertical tails, but the wingspan seems to have increased. The G-25 is different. You can see that the fuselage is obviously elongated and widened. There are portholes on the side. It looks like a passenger plane, but it is a little small. It seems that it can accommodate a single row Just fine.

That, looks like the MiG-25 version of the supersonic airliner?

The MiG-25 once supported the sky of the Soviets. Under the operation of Andrei, the MiG-25 was like a dragon flying in the air suppressing the Western world's breathlessness .

But now, although the MiG-25 is not decrypted like the later generations, the MiG-25 is still outdated. It only relies on high altitude and high speed to win the living space. When the opponent's air defense is upgraded, there will be problems. Now, Western In the arsenal, several are optimized specifically for the MiG-25.

Therefore, the MiG-25 is gradually withdrawing from active service, and the upgraded MiG-31 cannot fight in close combat. It is just an ultra-long-range interceptor. It has even developed the ability of an early warning aircraft to command several MiG- 29 or Su-27 engaged.

It is also in this situation that Andre came up with the idea of ​​transforming the MiG-25 into a supersonic business airliner. This was originally a plan of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and now it happens to be used to fool those in the Middle East. Big dog.

Even under the threat of cheating, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and other countries have placed orders for this supersonic commercial airliner that is still on paper. After that, Andrei has not paid attention to it, and now, just in time. How can you not be excited to see the test flight of this supersonic commercial airliner!

"Go down and see this passenger plane first." Andrei said to Ustinov, who was beside him, "This is a good thing!" (To be continued.)
