Two "Flying Eagle" prototypes plus "Yinglong No. [-]" were quietly placed in the largest hangar at the airport. Zheng Wenzhong walked in under the leadership of Xu Ziling, and was shocked by the three planes in front of him. up.

"Flying Eagle" is okay, just looking at the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the F-22 of the Americans, but the low drone placed there, the shape of the flying wing is really eye-catching, his eyes are in the "Flying Eagle" "It paused for a while, and was immediately attracted by it. When he saw it for the first time, he recognized that it was definitely a "stealth unmanned attack aircraft", and saw that several staff members were doing maintenance there. , he also speculated whether the drone had entered the stage of secret service.

Everything before was just guesswork, but now he actually saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling the impact of imagination and reality felt in his heart.Unexpected!He really didn't expect that the Red Star Military Factory had come to this point.

"Today is indeed my lucky day." Said to Xu Ziling, Zheng Wenzhong abandoned his identity as the boss, and rushed to the side of "Shadow Dragon One".

The flying wing layout has high aerodynamic efficiency, large lift-to-drag ratio, and good stealth performance, but it also has fatal flaws, that is, poor maneuverability and low control efficiency. Therefore, this situation is not widely used at present, and it is the most famous Yes, that is, the B-2 bomber of the Americans, because the bomber is not a fighter jet, so it is completely unnecessary to pay attention to maneuverability.

After optimization by the lion, this defect has been perfectly solved: split flaps, plus engine diverter nozzles under the wings.But for Zheng Wenzhong, he doesn't know this. Although he hasn't done technical work for many years, it is impossible for him to be unclear about these things in this line of work. Looking at the status of the drone, he knows that this plane is definitely flying. It's been a long time, and it doesn't look like they haven't solved these problems. I'm very curious about how Xu Ziling and the others solved them, but I also know that such a problem involves core technology, and Xu Ziling will definitely not answer him. He just didn't ask any questions, just kept watching around the drone, intending to find some clues on the fuselage.

Xu Ziling looked at his action of bending down and kneeling down to look at the belly of the aircraft carefully regardless of the dust on the ground, which was a little funny, but he also admired him for being a dignified boss. He could do this action. In his position, he would never do such an "unseemly" behavior, so he is really a person who does not lose his true colors.

"It seems that you have solved the limitation of the flying wing layout." After watching for a long time, Zheng Wenzhong got out from under the plane, patted the dust on his pants, and said to Xu Ziling with a sigh.

He could see this just by looking at it. Xu Ziling was really surprised, smiled, and said, "Why do you see it?"

Zheng Wenzhong pointed to the flap on the rear edge of the flying wing, "The design method of this flap is unheard of, although I didn't expect it to be designed according to what principle, it is definitely used to increase drag, and And here," he pointed to a metal plate with a tiny gap under the wing, "if I'm not wrong, there should be some magical device behind this thing, which is used to change the direction, but I can't figure it out It's just going to be something."

Unexpectedly, he could really see something famous, Xu Ziling was very surprised, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Mr. Zheng doesn't engage in technology, but it's even more pity to do technology."

……

Zheng Wenzhong was taken aback by his words, and immediately laughed again, "So I guessed right?"

"It's all right! Split flaps are used to adjust the resistance. The bottom of the wing refers to the vertical take-off and landing technology, and two small nozzles are made, which add up to increase the maneuverability and controllability." This thing is not a secret. , so Xu Ziling explained a little bit.

"Oh!" After hearing the explanation, Zheng Wenzhong nodded in satisfaction.

Going on, it is related to the core things, and Xu Ziling will not answer if he asks, of course he will not ask any more questions for the sake of boring himself.

"I'm curious, is this aircraft ready for service? Can it be mass-produced?" Such a question, he wanted to know so much, and after holding back for a while, he still asked.

For such a question, Xu Ziling obviously would not answer. After he finished speaking, he just smiled and said nothing, which made Zheng Wenzhong understand that the upper-level agreement should be involved, because from a commercial point of view, this There really wasn't much need to keep the issue secret. Since Xu Ziling didn't say anything, the only thing that could explain it was that there was a secret agreement with the higher-ups, but this also confirmed his previous conjecture: this plane might have entered service.

But he didn't give up, because the plane was too attractive to him. After a moment of silence, he asked Xu Ziling a new question: "Then, can Mr. Xu introduce the general parameters of this plane to me?" ? For example, the range and the amount of ammunition carried.”

For things that are not detailed, Xu Ziling can talk about it, so he didn't pretend to be mysterious, so he said to Zheng Wenzhong: "In the state of full ammunition, the range is about [-] kilometers. If the rack is used, it can carry forty or fifty conventional small bombs. missile."

……

Zheng Wenzhong can understand that the conventional small missiles that Xu Ziling refers to are medium and short-range air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles. If long-range missiles or cruise missiles are loaded, there will definitely not be such a number, but the carrying capacity of medium- and short-range missiles can reach four. Fifty pieces, this is amazing enough. You must know that a conventional fighter can only carry one missile on a hardpoint, while a fighter plane can have more than ten hardpoints at most.

God, he felt like he didn't know how to describe it.

"Can this be considered a bomber? The American b-2 can only carry [-] missiles, and one refueling in the air is not as good as its range." After a long time, Zheng Wenzhong said In such a sentence.

The data Xu Ziling said is really scary. How has he ever heard of a fighter plane that can fly [-] kilometers when it is fully loaded with dozens of missiles?This is difficult even for a passenger plane.

"Its function is for long-range support and strike, so it pays attention to the range and sacrifices some ammunition capacity." Xu Ziling smiled when he saw him comparing the b-2, and was noncommittal.

The b-2 is a bomber, while the shadow dragon 2 is an attack aircraft. The two models have different positioning. It seems that the number of ammunition carried by the shadow dragon is more than that of the shadow dragon, but the b-2 is carrying a jdam bomb. There are several medium and short-range missiles carried by the Shadow Dragon. In comparison, the b-[-] can carry sixteen JDAM bombs, which is definitely more than the Shadow Dragon.

……

Discussing about drones satisfied Zheng Wenzhong's curiosity, and then he set his sights on "Flying Eagle".

With a range of more than 4000 kilometers, mature vertical take-off and landing technology, and perfect stealth performance, he was naturally shocked again, especially when he saw the C-type aircraft, he even smiled bitterly and said that in the future, their j -15 is absolutely no market.

Regarding this, Xu Ziling has his different views. Although the c-type machine is smaller than the a-type and b-type machines, it is similar to the j-15, but he needs two people to operate it, while the j-15 only needs two people to operate it. One person is enough. In terms of personnel requirements, the J-15 obviously has its advantages. Besides the requirements of aircraft carrier tactics, it is certain that high-end and low-end fighters will be matched.

There is only one aircraft carrier in the country, but it is obviously impossible to equip it with "Flying Eagle" type C, not to mention that such a big move as the Air Force's major refitting cannot be completed in one or two years. As long as the military factory does not launch low-end carrier-based aircraft, there will definitely be a market for j-15.

Xu Ziling has no intention of monopolizing the entire domestic market. What he needs now is to lay a solid foundation and drive foreign arms dealers out of the country, instead of fighting with his own country's manufacturers.

"Boss Zheng's words are wrong. Due to financial constraints in the country, the combination of high and low is definitely an inevitable strategy. Even if our 'Flying Eagle' is the smallest c-type aircraft, it is bigger than your J-15. In terms of funds In fact, it is also relatively high, so as long as the country’s military expenditure does not increase, the market for j-15 will definitely exist, and there is not much difference from the original.”

Xu Ziling said this to Zheng Wenzhong.

What he said is right, before China was considering equipping part of the J-15 on the aircraft carrier, and importing a heavy-duty carrier-based aircraft, but now it may consider adopting the "Flying Eagle", but the plan of matching high and low will not change , so for Shen Fei, it has no effect at all.

That being said, Zheng Wenzhong could also figure out what was going on in the middle, and said incomparable things, it was only after he heard Xu Ziling introduce the performance of Feiying that he was hit hard. "Flying Eagle" is better than the f-35, which is known as the fifth-generation aircraft in the United States, while the j-15 can only be said to have caught the tail of the fourth-generation aircraft. There is really not much comparison.

If you don't consider the displacement of the aircraft carrier, and don't consider the issue of funding, then there is really nothing wrong with J-15. Thinking of this, Zheng Wenzhong really doesn't know whether to be sad or lucky.

The dignified head of Shen Fei naturally cannot have too much free time. This time I came here because of two things together. I took a quick tour of the military factory, and then had a meal in the cafeteria. After a "light meal", he hurried back to Fei Shen in the afternoon.

And Xu Ziling, after sending Zheng Wenzhong away, just returned to the military factory when he received a long-awaited call: Tang Cheng called.

"Mr. Xu, my client has agreed to all your requests, but there is also one condition, that is, the delivery must be delivered as quickly as possible." This was the first sentence Tang Cheng said after he got on the phone.
