Chapter 614 Investigating the Su-35
What's the use of showing off your turbofan ten in front of Da Mao so ostentatiously?

Of course, it was to make Da Mao nervous so that they could come up with better things, otherwise, they would definitely be replaced by their own side.

Now, the effect has been achieved!

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Yemelyanov was a little helpless: "That's right, in order to develop the fourth-generation aircraft, the Rurika Design Bureau came up with an AL-11F engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 41. The engine uses a lot of advanced technology and is the best choice for the fourth-generation aircraft. However, its size is larger and cannot be installed in our Su-27 fighter. Moreover, this engine actually has many technical problems. It has not been resolved, since the collapse of the Red Empire, the development of this engine has been stopped, and now, it is impossible to produce it again."

After the collapse of the Red Empire, many projects have stagnated and even started to regress. Take the third uncle as an example, the performance of the early version imported from China was fairly stable, but later on, the quality began to decline continuously, which shows that Lao Maozi’s quality control It's getting worse.

As for the advanced AL-41 engine, it is impossible to reproduce it.

The maximum military thrust of this engine is 117.6 kN. There are many opinions about the maximum afterburner thrust, 175 kN, 181 kN, or even 196 kN. If this engine is installed on the Su-27, it will be appropriate It can achieve supersonic cruise without afterburner, and can fly to Mach 2.5 with afterburner.

However, it is no longer possible to produce this kind of engine, not to mention that it has not been developed well.

"Then what advanced engines do you have now?" Qin Tao asked.

"Currently, the Rurika-Saturn Design Bureau is improving the third uncle, and they are developing the AL-31F-M1 engine, which can slightly increase the thrust of the engine, especially improves the high-altitude performance and makes it accelerate faster. "

After the engine was started, the beautiful triplane Su-35 slid onto the runway, took off with afterburner, and climbed at a high angle of attack. Various maneuvers made people dizzy and dizzying.

The three-wing plane was originally used on carrier-based aircraft to improve the short-range take-off capability of the Su-33. However, after the Su-33 was developed, the Sukhoi Design Bureau became addicted to the three-wing plane layout. The Su-27 is equipped with canards and digital telex, which greatly improves its maneuverability.

The machine body still has old-fashioned characteristics, and the rivets are exposed. Although it has been repainted, it still looks like it has gone through many vicissitudes.

Hearing these uprights, Mr. Zhang felt a little aggrieved again, what?Their maximum afterburner thrust is actually 14.5 tons?In this way, isn't the performance of our turbofan [-] falling behind again?

"Everyone, the Su-35 is your best choice." Simonov said enthusiastically: "Please trust us, this fighter will not let you down! Although its price is 8000 million US dollars, but, Its performance feels worth the price."

Elder Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, everyone stayed at Room 606 for dinner, and Mr. Zhang was still enthusiastically introducing it to everyone.

Price negotiations are now underway!
$8000 million!When he heard the price, Elder Lin's expression changed immediately. This is money grabbing, and your asking price is too high!
At present, the J-4000 fighter jets produced by China itself are equivalent to 35 to 5000 million U.S. dollars each. If you purchase this kind of Su-6000, 8000 million or even [-] million U.S. dollars per plane is acceptable, but [-] million U.S. dollars One is ridiculously high!

"Mr. Simonov, your radar is indeed very advanced. Can you test it for us later in the performance? Especially the 20-to-[-]."

The remodeled Su-21S in the 35st century is equipped with a 117S engine. The current Su-35 is actually the Su-27M. What version of the engine is used?
"This fighter uses the AL-35FM." Yemelyanov replied.

Elder Lin and Qin Tao looked at each other and smiled, needless to say, they already understood.

"Okay, then let's buy this kind of engine." Qin Tao said: "This kind of engine has more thrust than the third uncle, and it should be better than the turbofan ten. If you are willing to export this kind of engine, then I promise , our purchase quantity here will be at least [-] units, and may be more."

The MiG 1.44 of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is destined to be a failure!

"Is your price a full-life price?" Qin Tao asked with a smile, "For example, it includes a lot of after-sales services, including backup parts and even backup engines."

"Isn't this very good? How can I make you spend money?"

The MiG-25, which was refitted on the basis of the MiG-31, used phased array radar for the first time, and the search distance is longer, so the range of the corresponding missile can be greatly improved. For this reason, the Pennant Design Bureau The R-33 missile and the modified R-37 were developed. The latter has a range of 31 kilometers and is hung under the belly of the MiG-31 in a half-buried manner, making the MiG-[-] a sniper in the sky. .

Modern air combat is inseparable from early warning aircraft. It is the brain and eyes of modern warfare. Therefore, when a war starts, killing the opponent's early warning aircraft has become an important combat task.

In later generations, the new Su-35 is equipped with a 117S engine. This engine is actually a version that uses some technologies of the AL-41F engine to improve the third uncle. However, the official research and development of this engine has already been completed. In the 21st century, there is no such engine now.

When Lao Maozi was carried out, Zhang Lao immediately put down the smile just now, and looked at Lin Lao with a serious face.

Ordinary air-to-air missiles only have a range of tens of kilometers, and fighter jets have to get close to tens of kilometers away from the early warning aircraft to have a chance. At this distance, the opponent's escort fighter jets have already pounced on them.

At this time, the big guys looked up at the various maneuvers, and could feel the performance improvement compared to the Su-27.

A week later, the Sukhoi Design Bureau officially sent an invitation to guests from the East to go to the Gromov Test Flight Academy to appreciate the style of their Su-35 fighter jets.

Some people are already thinking in their minds, this kind of aircraft can be produced in Factory 601 after surveying and mapping at 112 Institute!It adopts a three-plane layout, which is much more maneuverable than the Su-27!
In fact, the Su-35 is just a Su-27 with an extra small wing. At the beginning, the number of the Sukhoi Design Bureau was also Su-27M. Later, in order to sell the aircraft better, it was renamed Su-35. [-].
Just like the MiG machine, after the reputation of the MiG-29 became rotten, the Mikoyan Design Bureau made a major change to the MiG-29, and then named it the MiG-35, but it was still not sold.

However, the other party must also know that the early warning aircraft is a high-value target and will be well protected. It is really too difficult to attack this kind of early warning aircraft.

In fact, although the N011 radar uses a flat-panel slot antenna, it is not mature at all. It is a semi-finished product, so Lao Maozi gave up after testing it, and then improved to a passive phased array radar antenna, which is called N011M.

After experiencing the failure of Turbofan VI in China, the big guys have also realized the difficulties in the development of turbofan engines. Now that they are about to be installed on aircraft for testing, more problems are likely to erupt.What if the failures are frequent and the Air Force loses confidence?
They had to make a deal in advance. The remarks this afternoon were all for the old man, and they didn't have much confidence in themselves.

"This is currently the most advanced fighter jet in our country. It is equipped with brand new equipment. For example, its radar system has been upgraded to the latest N011 radar. It is the first airborne radar in our country that uses a flat-panel slot antenna. "Simonov, the head of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, enthusiastically introduced to everyone: "Its appearance has greatly improved our combat capabilities. In the research and development stage, our goal is to track 20 targets. And attack 8 of them."

"It has a detection range of 3 kilometers when facing a bomber target. When facing a target with an RCS of 140 square meters, its detection range can reach [-] kilometers. Moreover, our fighter is also specially placed on the tail Inside the tail cone, a rear-view radar is installed, if there is an enemy plane chasing it, the rear-view radar can detect it in time, and at the same time, it can also guide our air-to-air missiles to attack backwards."

The projectile body is the same as the S-300, very simple, with a two-stage engine, and even a special ramjet engine. The later model even has a range of [-] kilometers. Of course, in order to avoid export rules, the export product is still reduced to three. hundred kilometers.

Su-35 naturally also needs to snatch the market of MiG-31. The two design bureaus have fallen in love with each other in the era of the Red Empire.

"If you are reluctant to spend money, you can send [-] target drones from our country." Qin Tao continued: "The consumption is ours."

苏-35战机的编号是从701到710。第11架也就是711，就是那架苏-37.
However, these prototypes are not newly produced. For example, the 701, 702, 705, 706, and 707 fighters are greatly modified on the basis of the mass-produced Su-27 fighters.Of course, as a test aircraft, it must have a test flight code name. The official number of the 701 prototype is T-10M-1, which was the first prototype to fly in 88.

"Everyone, Yemelyanov and I have already said hello. Their Su-35 fighters use the AL-35F engine, with a maximum military thrust of 8.5 tons and a maximum afterburning thrust of 14.5 tons. This engine gives The replacement of our fighter planes will definitely improve the performance of our fighter planes by leaps and bounds."

The aircraft in front of me uses a different front fuselage, canards, and tail braces from the Su-27.However, the mid-section fuselage, vertical tail, and wheels are all the same as the Su-27 mass-produced model.Everyone seemed to have a sense of intimacy.

The current Su-35 actually intends to use the third uncle’s, but the thrust is insufficient, so a new engine is used instead. As for the specific origin of this AL-35F engine, it is not clear, but the difference between it and the third uncle is that it increases The diameter of the engine inlet was increased to increase the air intake, and the temperature of the turbine inlet was increased to increase the thrust of the engine. The internal structure was also slightly improved, so that the maximum thrust was 8500kg, and the afterburner thrust was about 14000kg.Later, the afterburner was changed to increase the afterburner thrust to 14500kg. This is the famous AL-35FM.The only Su-37 uses the AL-35FM with vector nozzles, also known as AL-37FU.

Everyone walked from the front of the plane, to the side, and then to the back.

After repeated research, they finally solved the processing difficulties of the flat-panel slot radar antenna, and have officially used this radar on the Su-35!

How shrewd is Mr. Lin, he immediately discovered something from the dialogue between the two sides: the performances Simonov mentioned must be bragging!That's why he didn't dare to test.

The only way to solve the problem is to throw weapons from a distance, just like the navy is fighting an aircraft carrier!
The longer the range of air-to-air missiles, the better!
Now, this kind of missile with a range of [-] kilometers can really become the killer of the early warning aircraft. The opponent will never think that it will launch a missile at a distance of [-] kilometers!
Even taking into account the avoidance of missing the target, the chance of success will be greatly increased if it is closer to [-] kilometers.

For him, this is just the most normal air show.

Yankee's AWG-9 radar, the farthest search distance is only 315 kilometers. After that, other fighters, the search distance is not as good as this radar 20 years ago. As for the technology of the old man, it is absolutely impossible to compare with AWG- 9 radar strong.

All countries have encountered big problems in the development of the third-generation engines. The American F100 used to break down frequently, making the F-15 equipped with it the queen of the hangar. The third uncle of the old man also continued to have problems during the research and development stage. So much so that the chief designer came up with a reward plan, and for every gram of weight saved, a certain amount of rubles will be rewarded.

This aircraft can really make up for the gap in our own side.

At this time, the 707 displayed in front of everyone is a test aircraft built after the collapse of the Red Empire, and the airframe is relatively new.If it is another plane, it is estimated that the condition will be even worse.

These are the things that can move the East the most!

At present, the domestic 1493 radar has begun to replace the original bulky N001 radar, and the radar with the inverted card antenna should have been retired long ago.However, the performance of this radar is not as good as the front!
Facing the transport plane, it can detect 20 kilometers away, and can chase [-] dozen eight!When did Lao Maozi's technology become more advanced than his own?

"Of course not. This is the price of a stand-alone aircraft. You also need to purchase a series of advanced weapons. For example, we equip it with active radar-guided R-77 air-to-air missiles and R-172 missiles for long-range attack on targets such as early warning aircraft." -[-] missile, it can hunt and kill the enemy's key targets at a distance of [-] kilometers."

Hearing Mr. Zhang's introduction, everyone nodded frequently: "Yes, we developed Turbofan [-] from scratch. This engine will definitely have a better future. We also expect it to bear fruit and become our domestic engine. The most advanced and proven powertrain."

"After our engine is successfully installed, we can use its core engine to develop other engines. For example, we can turn it into a high-thrust turbofan engine by adding an external bypass with a large bypass ratio. , to meet the needs of our transport planes and bombers, and there will be no problem even using it on passenger planes in the future. We can also change it into a gas turbine for ships, hoping to get orders from the Navy.”

From the rear, there will be an extra tail vertebra in the middle of the two engines, just like the barb of a bee. It was originally the result of aerodynamic design, but the place at the rear can be used to install the rear-view radar, so that It became the only fighter in the world with a rear-view radar. (There is also a saying that this thing is called a tail support)
Everyone was surprised when they heard Simonov's introduction.

The only improved version of the third uncle is still under development, and it will not be installed on the aircraft until 99.

This kind of engine is already their current advanced fighter jet engine, can it be exported to the East?Yemelyanov felt a little uneasy.

"What we are demonstrating to you today is the maneuverability of this aircraft. In terms of electronic systems, we will only introduce it." Simonov continued to shirk: "We have not contacted the relevant transport aircraft as a target. Come on, everyone, go to the tail, you can see Look at the engine of this aircraft. This is our most advanced AL-35FM engine with a maximum afterburner thrust of 14.5 tons. It makes our aircraft have a better thrust-to-weight ratio and can do more maneuvers. If it is matched with a vector nozzle , and can do many famous maneuvers.”

Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "What kind of engine is installed in the Su-35 you plan to sell to us?"

After some on-site inspections, it was the turn of the flight performance in the air. Pugachev put on his flight suit and walked out confidently. Relying on the famous cobra maneuver, he has become the world leader. The most famous test pilot, he flew the Su-35 for the longest time, and even flew the famous Su-37. He also created many classic maneuvers on the Su-37.

Hearing Qin Tao's proposal, the smile on Simonov's face became stiff: "Well, as you know, we are currently short of funds. We took off [-] target drones at a time and shot down eight of them. It's too expensive for us."

In the past few years, Lao Maozi has really been standing still, even regressing.

As if knowing what Mr. Zhang was thinking, Qin Tao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I believe that the engine we made ourselves can also achieve this kind of data. Come on everyone! Turbofan [-] is related to The several fighter jets of our navy, air force and aviation unit will never be dismounted."

Mr. Lin nodded: "Yes, we are mentally prepared for this. Anyway, there are three uncles making do with it for the time being. With President Qin's promotion, we may be able to import more advanced engines. Our Air Force can afford to wait until our own engines Mature!"

After getting the news, Elder Lin led the team again, and a large group of people enthusiastically went to appreciate Lao Maozi's most advanced fighter jet.

For a long time, the best thing about Lao Maozi's fighter is its mobility, and the most criticized thing is the backwardness of the electronic system. On the Su-35, these shortcomings have been made up for!

Sure enough, after hearing these introductions, the eyes of Mr. Lin and the others sparkled again.

"Our engine has been approved and installed on a J-[-] for testing. We thank the Air Force for its support. However, we still don't understand the development rules of turbofan engines. Therefore, our engine is likely to There are some problems." Zhang Lao said: "I hope that the leaders of the Air Force will give us enough time to perfect this engine."

Of course, there are costs, such as increasing the windward area, increasing the complexity of the operating system, etc. However, with an additional pair of control surfaces, more actions can be made. Da Mao is still very satisfied with this change .

The planes of the Sukhoi Design Bureau also perform homeland air defense missions, and also have the ability to kill at long distances. The MiG-35 uses more advanced radars. Of course, more advanced missiles are required. They chose The R-172 (also known as KS-172) missile of the Innovator Design Bureau, which appeared later than the R-37, uses more advanced technology.

In contrast, tanks are much better. The T-72 has a bad reputation. It was renamed T-90, and it really sold a lot.

In the development of aero-engines abroad, the core engine is developed first. After the core engine has no problems, the external duct can be added to form various engines. Although the turbofan [-] is developed according to the overall engine, as long as it is The core machine can be taken out and used in other projects.

"In this case, let's take off a transport plane and let us see how it detects a transport plane at a distance of [-] kilometers." Elder Lin joined the battle group.

Seeing the look in everyone's eyes, Simonov knew that the deception had worked. The Su-35 is the best choice for the Orientals, so even if it is more expensive, the Orientals can still accept it!
This batch of aircraft will make the Sukhoi Design Bureau a lot of money. Next, the Sukhoi Design Bureau will have more funds for the development of the fourth-generation aircraft. The shape of that fighter has just been made, and the other There is still a lot of design work to do!

This is also a unique function of the Su-27 series aircraft, and other aircraft simply do not have this capability.

The Snow Leopard radar used by the later Su-35S is a passive phased array system.

Originally, he planned to introduce electronic technology to make the Orientals envious, but who would have thought that the other party would take it seriously and would not let him go, so Simonov could only change the subject.

These people talked very excitedly, leaving Yemelyanov aside. Yemelyanov drank alone, depressed, and fell drunk after a few glasses of wine.

The fighter plane completed all the flight performances and landed again. This time, everyone stepped on the gangway and looked at the layout inside.

The Da Mao Watch Shop really disappeared. Inside the cockpit was a layout of four monitors, two on each side and two vertically in the middle, forming a T-shaped layout.

"Everyone, this fighter is our most advanced aircraft, 27 years ahead of the Su-20 you are flying now. If it weren't for our friendship, we would never have sold you such an advanced fighter." Simon Nove continued to be complacent.

If it was in the past, they would not have sold it. After all, it was already the most advanced. But now, as they have started the research and development of the fourth-generation aircraft, the importance of this aircraft is not high. It is only after selling it to make money. most important.How to develop without money?
