MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 758 Baidi aerospace plane

  Chapter 758 Baidi Aerospace Plane

  The stars are shining overhead.

  Mr. Lin and Qin Tao walked on the road of the design institute together.

   "Old Lin, then you can follow them from now on, I want to say goodbye."

"Well, I'm very excited now." Elder Lin said: "Many excellent test pilots will turn into aircraft engineers after their flying careers. I have been in the Air Force for half my life. Now that I am retired, I can still participate in the research of strategic bombers. Very satisfying."

   "Then I wish you success in your work."

   "Taozi, you seem to have forgotten something?" Elder Lin said with a smile.

   Forgot what?

  Qin Tao really can't remember.

   "The air show is about to start, and you haven't prepared anything in advance?" Elder Lin said, "Don't you often like to fool foreigners?"

   Clicking on the wrong technology tree is very scary. It will lead to delays in the project at least, and the end of the entire project at worst. Qin Tao is absolutely unique in fooling others into going the wrong way.

  Take vertical take-off and landing fighter jets as an example. They used hydraulic torque converters to fool others, which delayed the X-35 project for at least two or three years.

   Now, for this new aircraft carrier, he should come up with some tricks!

   "That's right. Although we have decided to develop a stealth bomber, this project must not be announced to the public. Then we have to have other plans." Qin Tao said: "Just let's put another satellite."

  Mr. Lin looked at Qin Tao with expectant eyes: "Say!"

   "Aerospace fighter, I think it's called Baidi."

  With the fourth-generation machine, it is time to pre-research the fifth-generation machine. What should the fifth-generation machine of Mingzhou Group look like?

   That is naturally an aerospace plane!

   "Baidi Aerospace Plane?" Elder Lin pondered for a while: "That's right, the name sounds domineering enough, can you tell me more about it?"

   "We have to get a prototype, let Zhao Dangsheng come and listen to it." Qin Tao said.

  After the stealth aircraft is built, the next generation of fighters will inevitably be a taller aerospace aircraft, which is also an inevitability of technological development.

  However, it is not easy to build an aerospace aircraft. First of all, one engine is restricted.

  Aeroplanes sound easy to understand, that is, they can take off and land like ordinary fighter planes, and then fly directly to outer space when needed, becoming a weapon with dual identities in aviation and spaceflight.

  Then what engine does it use?

  The engine used by the rocket has its own oxidant, which can fly in outer space, but the self-built oxidizer is too bulky after all, and it is necessary outside the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, the oxygen in the atmosphere must be used.

There are also engines that use oxygen. Both turbojet and turbofan use oxygen, but these engines can only be used at low speeds. Once the speed exceeds Mach 3, the compressors and other components in these engines will react. The flying airflow will slow down when it collides with the blades, and even damage the compressor.

  At this time, a ramjet engine is needed, without a compressor, directly with a combustion chamber.

   In other words, one of the keys to aerospace aircraft is the variable cycle engine.

  Zhao Dangsheng was confused when he heard it. After listening, he finally made up his mind: "Mr. Qin, I think this is science fiction."

"That's right, this is science fiction." Qin Tao said: "One hundred years ago, if it was said that human beings could go to outer space, it was definitely science fiction. Isn't it all realized now? Today's science fiction, when it arrives, it will be proper. Now, we must first dare to think, if we don’t even dare to think, how will it be realized in the future?”

  Zhao Dangsheng nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, then you draw the renderings, and we will turn the renderings into models."

   "Well, a one-to-one model." Qin Tao said.

  If it’s just a small-sized model, then 3D printing is enough. There is no need for Zhao Dangsheng and the others at all. The one-to-one model can only attract attention when it is brought to the air show.

  Old Lin was in high spirits, of course he knew that what Qin Tao said was mainly for the purpose of fooling around. This project sounds lofty, but it also costs a lot of money!

   In terms of joint fighter jets, our own side has already taken the lead, and the Americans will definitely not be convinced. Next, how can the Americans be willing to lag behind in the new generation of aerospace aircraft? They want to invest a large sum of money to develop advanced fighters, and they must not let the Orientals take the lead!

   In this way, will the United States be dragged down like an old man? It's really exciting.

   In the next period of time, some people will be busy.

In fact, the Baidi aerospace plane is only a part of the whole Nantianmen plan. If the whole Nantianmen plan is brought out, it will definitely shock the whole world, but at the same time, it will make the whole world hear the voice of the Eastern threat Qin Tao decided not to stimulate the West too much, so as not to be trapped in a cocoon.

  Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the airshow is coming.

   "It's a pity that there is no sailing show." Qin Tao and Zhao Ling beside him said, "That is the home field of our Mingzhou Group."

In military industry exhibitions, they are generally air shows or defense exhibitions. The former mainly displays aircraft, while the latter can display various equipment. However, land weapons can be displayed for a while, but naval weapons cannot. It is a display model. If you want to fully display the navy's equipment, the space is not big enough.

   "Of course there is no nautical show. Moreover, the navy and its superiors have applied for many times to hold a military parade at sea, but the superiors have repeatedly pushed back. It is estimated that it will be next year." Zhao Ling said.

   "Why? Don't you dare to use your sword?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "Our equipment is there, and others have already seen it."

   "It's one thing to see it, but another thing to show it directly." Zhao Ling said: "We still need to be more cautious, so as not to be jealous."

  Qin Tao smiled, and was noncommittal about this method, which was not his business to ask.

   "Old Maozi is out in full force this time, and two aerobatic teams are here." Qin Tao looked at the planes on the airport and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Lao Maozi has two aerobatic teams, one is the Warrior aerobatic team using heavy Su-27 fighter jets, and the other is the Swift aerobatic team using medium-sized MiG-29s. Regardless of the history of the two demonstration teams, in short, the official They were established in 1991. Their mission is to sell fighter jets to the whole world. The old man is short of money.

   Now, the two aerobatic teams have arrived, and this is to cheer Dongfang. However, they probably will spend money again. It is impossible for Dongfang to purchase these fighters. Dongfang’s own fighters are already very powerful.

"Yes, the reputation of our air show is getting higher and higher, and many surrounding countries will also come. Although they don't expect to sell the plane to us, they can sell it to the countries around us." Zhao Ling said: "For them , the influence of going to Europe to participate in the air show is not as good as that here.”

   "You know a lot." Qin Tao looked at his wife.

   "Since I became the secretary of Mingzhou Group, although I am not very proficient in majors, I have been involved in a wider range." Zhao Ling said: "This is also under your influence."

  Qin Tao smiled: "Then you shouldn't have led the research and development of Hongqi-16 at the beginning. You should just be my secretary. I guess I can retire a few years ago."

   "Retire? Retire without waiting for the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be built?" Zhao Ling also smiled: "You are retiring now, how about I come to be the boss of the group?"

  Qin Tao is really reluctant to retire now, because he will be bored to death. If the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is built, he can really retire at that time.

  Tomorrow is the air show, so many people have arrived in Zhuhai one after another. Because of the Aerospace Expo, it has become lively.

"We Rolls-Royce brought civilian engines." In the hotel, Stanley said: "We also have our own booth, so tomorrow, we will appear there as exhibitors, so that we can better hide our identity."

  Eastern air show, they originally didn't plan to participate, but, considering the huge benefits, Rolls-Royce still came.

  After all, the East does not have a self-developed airliner. Their increasingly prosperous civil aviation market requires a large number of Western airliners. Half of these airliners are equipped with Rolls-Royce engines.

  So, Rolls-Royce sent its civilian engine to participate in the exhibition, to some extent to support the Zhuhai Air Show, after all, there are not small benefits in it.

  Daniel nodded: "That's right, our identities will not arouse suspicion. Will the Eastern vertical takeoff and landing fighter take part in this exhibition?"

"Yes, the personnel we arranged in advance have observed that fighter plane approaching. The plane is only covered with a canopy, but other parts are exposed. We can clearly see the structure of the lift fan, so the plane It must be a vertical take-off and landing model, and our reconnaissance satellites have also noticed that the vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are undergoing intensive test flights, so they will definitely perform flight demonstrations."

   "Okay, let's keep our eyes open and see how Dongfang's aircraft does it." Daniel said.

  Plagiarized or plagiarized oriental technology? Daniel doesn't care. What matters to them now is time. If they can't improve their progress, they will be easily suppressed by the X-32. They don't want their project to be rejected, which will hit them too hard up.

   "However, we also noticed that next to this aircraft, there is another aircraft, which is very unique."

   "Where is it unique?"

   "Until now, that plane is still covered with a sheet of cloth, so that we can't see its true appearance. We can only look at its size. That plane is obviously larger than the J-31A by more than one size."

   Much bigger?

  Then what is this plane for?

  Daniel also became curious: "Could it be their twin-engine heavy stealth machine?"

That's all they can think of. At present, the most powerful fighter jet in the East is owned by a private company. This company appears to be independent, but in fact it is inextricably linked with the Mingzhou Group. It was supported by the Mingzhou Group. .

  They started to take the path of international cooperation and came up with a joint fighter jet. Now, the project has been considered a success, and there must be new projects.

  What is this new project? With a little brainstorming, one can know that it should be a twin-engine heavy stealth fighter. This kind of fighter jet will not be exported, it is only for its own use and provided to their domestic air force.

   "If so, then this aircraft is very similar to our F-22, and the Orientals are clearly stealing our aircraft!" A technician cursed.

  Oriental J-31A looks like a scaled-down version of F-22. Now it is a double-engine heavy-duty stealth machine, which is a copy of F-22. Orientals are really shameless.

   At the beginning, when Lockheed bid for the bid, they were rejected because they looked like the J-31A. This is really ironic.

   "Look at it tomorrow and you will know. If it is the same as our F-22, then we will launch a media campaign!"

  A plane that has been publicly displayed has no secrets. A brand new fighter plane will be more attractive if it is covered with a tarpaulin.

  The Dongfang fighter plane attracted the attention of many people the day before the opening ceremony of the air show, and they began to discuss it.

  Others are discussing, and the Mingzhou Group is not idle, and has collected a lot of information.

  So, on that night, Yuan Liming, the person in charge of the airshow, found Qin Tao.

   "Mr. Qin, you Mingzhou Group will add luster to our air show every time. This air show has not yet opened, and countless people are interested in the planes in your tarpaulin."

   "We stole the limelight, aren't the other brother units dissatisfied?" Qin Tao asked.

"How could it be?" Yuan Liming shook his head, this sentence was considered normal, but when it came to the next sentence, Qin Tao couldn't help but cry: "Anyway, it's not the first time you've grabbed the limelight, with you here, that's the focus of the audience, Even if they want to be dissatisfied, they don't have that qualification."

   "Tomorrow, do a good job of safety and security, especially the issue of order. If too many people come to our booth to look at the fifth-generation aircraft, it will eventually lead to chaos, and there will be a stampede accident, that will be bad."

"Don't worry, this is not the first time we have held this event, and we have already experienced it." Yuan Liming said: "Mr. Qin, I look forward to your wonderful performance tomorrow. Your plane will definitely be reported by the media all over the world." Headlines."

   "Well, you should go to Lao Maozi to have a look. Every air show, Lao Maozi strongly supports them. They originally planned to show off, but now we have stolen the limelight. You have to do a good job in advance."

   "Well, I'll go right away." Yuan Liming nodded.

  The air show is very important, he must take care of it, and if he is not careful, accidents may happen.

  This night is destined not to be peaceful.

The next day, before dawn, there was a huge crowd of people outside the air show site. Whether it was military fans or ordinary people, they all wanted to come here for a visit. Like the Badaling Great Wall during the Golden Week, it became crowded with people.

  Mingzhou Group's booth has already made arrangements in advance. There are five big and three thick security guards every three to five meters, responsible for maintaining order.

  The railings outside the plane were originally just ordinary red isolation strips, but last night, special stainless steel railings were hurriedly produced on site, and expansion screws were directly screwed on the ground to fix them tightly together to avoid accidents.

  The opening ceremony of the air show was very lively. There were hosts talking, but many people didn't go there to watch. Outside the booth of Mingzhou Group, people of different skin colors and different races had already stopped here to watch.

  They are all waiting for the sheet to be untied to reveal the true face of the plane inside.

  Zhao Dangsheng is used to this kind of situation. He waited quietly on a platform outside the stainless steel guardrail. He didn't pick up the microphone until the host over there announced the official opening of the air show.

"Everyone, let me introduce our exhibits to you. At this air show, our J-31A fighter jet will perform a lot of performances. The result of the lottery will be drawn this afternoon. Now, I will show our fighter jet Let me introduce the advanced performance to you..."

"Vertical take-off and landing capability is the performance that many aircraft are pursuing, but only a few aircraft have achieved it. At present, only a few aircraft in the world have matured, including the British Sea Harrier, Lao Maozi's Yak-38, and Our J-31A, and if we compare the performance, our aircraft is the most advanced! After all, it is a fourth-generation stealth aircraft capable of supersonic flight, and it is the most powerful aircraft of this era."

   Zhao Dangsheng was eloquent, and the people below could only listen patiently.

"At present, this aircraft has received a large number of orders, especially the big countries in the desert. They have purchased dozens of them at one time and equipped them on their aircraft carriers. The combination of this fighter and aircraft carriers can make some small and medium-sized countries quickly Obtain the most powerful sea power! Countries that have purchased our aircraft carrier before can also purchase this type of carrier-based aircraft to eliminate the backward Sea Harrier."

   Zhao Dangsheng actually advertised here! Others can only listen patiently, and there is no other way if they are impatient, after all, this is their home field.

"As for the production issue, it is also the most concerned by all customers. For this reason, this year, we have installed the third final assembly line, which is dedicated to the final assembly of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. At present, our production capacity of this aircraft is limited to the engine. Production capacity." Zhao Dangsheng continued to talk endlessly: "We will urge our brother factories not to delay the time, and use the fastest time to produce engines for us. Of course, we do not rule out the production of supporting engines in Genghis Khan Aviation. It will definitely not be a problem. Compared with other countries, it takes three to five years for production and delivery, we can now compress it to less than two years."

  Half an hour passed, and an hour passed, even if it was autumn, but after all, the latitude here is low and the sun is still shining, so the people who waited for a long time finally lost their temper.

   "Excuse me, what kind of plane is inside this sheet of yours?"

   "That's right, now that the air show has started, don't you plan to show this plane?"

  Amidst the yelling of the crowd, Zhao Dangsheng patted his forehead: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was only focusing on introducing our vertical take-off and landing fighter jets just now, so I forgot."

forgotten?

  Big guy has been waiting here for more than an hour, and the hand holding the camera is sore. He just planned to take a picture of the fighter plane behind you. Fortunately, you forgot!

  Many people began to slander in their hearts, which is too hateful!

   "Take the tarpaulin away!" Zhao Dangsheng shouted to the people behind him.

  Then, the sheet was slowly uncovered, and a beautiful and smooth fighter slowly appeared in front of everyone.

  The nose first appeared. When they saw the structure of the nose, everyone's eyes widened.

What's this?

   Platypus?

  The appearance is very similar to the Su-32. The nose is flat and tilted downward. This design is too unique. Aren’t the fourth-generation aircraft all using diamond-shaped noses?

   Could it be that the stealth design ability of the Orientals has improved again?

  The world's first stealth aircraft is the F-117. The surface of this aircraft has countless creases, which seems to be against aerodynamics, so many people doubt whether this aircraft can fly.

   But when it came to the second model, the F-22, the shape began to follow aerodynamics, and it was just a proper modification.

   When it comes to the third model, B-2, there is no trace of deliberate modification for stealth. It is natural. Why?

  Of course, it is the improvement of computer computing power. At the beginning, the computing power was insufficient, so it could only be divided into multiple surfaces. Later, when the computing power increased, it could be modified appropriately.

   Now, if the aircraft in front of us also has stealth capabilities, it is enough to show that Mingzhou Group has made rapid progress in design.

   "This plane looks like a super high-speed aircraft!" At this moment, an expert onlookers said: "The side strip on the side of the fuselage can provide a high lift-to-drag ratio."

  Looking at those supersonic warheads, Qian Xuesen’s ballistic aircraft can be found. Starting from the nose, the side strips are drawn backwards. This side strip is the best aerodynamic layout solution for hypersonic aircraft. (It also seems to be called a waverider? The hero of Huadong has never studied this, so I really don’t know.)

   Laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. At this time, half of the experts on the scene are professional.

"The canopy is actually opaque!" The tarpaulin continued to roll back, and they could see the cockpit behind. The cockpit did not have any protrusions, as if it was directly embedded on the fuselage, similar to the cockpit of a platypus , a bomber design without any rearward vision.

   However, its canopy is black!

what happened?

  Because it is a model, so it is inconvenient to open the mold again, and then directly find a black thing to install it?

There is this possibility, but at the same time, there is also a new possibility: this plane is going to fly to outer space, so it needs this kind of black glass. In outer space, once it faces the sun directly, the sunlight coming in through the porthole It will be very scary.

   That is to say, the plane in front of me may fly to outer space?

   If you could fly from the ground to outer space, what would it be?

  Aeroplane!

  Orientals are actually researching aerospace aircraft? Moreover, the model in front of them already exists, which means that they have moved from theoretical research to practice and started to build prototypes?

  Daniel and the others opened their mouths in surprise.

  They originally thought that the Orientals would come up with a twin-engine heavy-duty stealth machine, which looks similar to the F-22. At that time, they can publicize it to the outside world, and the Orientals copied it!

What now?

  The Orientals actually developed a fifth-generation machine? The Orientals are going to go to the sky on a rocket!
