The F-18 hornet of the eagle people is a compromise weapon. In short, it can do everything and is not proficient in anything. In terms of interception, it can mount medium-range missiles. However, after it is mounted, it can not fly at supersonic speed. Interception is slow. Although it looks very advanced, it also has large side wings, which can fight.

At the same time, it also has the beginning of a, which can attack, but it is definitely not as professional as A6 and A7 attack aircraft. At least they are two seats side by side.

However, this has attracted the favor of Eagle country. Simplifying the model can reduce the operation cost of aircraft carrier. For Eagle country, aircraft carrier formation is to burn money. If you can burn less, you can burn less.

At least Congress liked it best, and even replaced the male cat with bumblebee. Later, due to the backwardness of the Navy's fourth generation aircraft project, the eagle Navy had to upgrade its existing Bumblebee into a super Bumblebee with local stealth function. At that time, the volume expanded and the power naturally had to be improved. Therefore, the original f404 engine, It became the later f414 engine.

Of course, the actual changes are great, but the overall dimensions have not changed. The core machine design of f414 comes from the f412 non afterburner turbofan engine of General Electric. At present, this engine is very popular and is developed for the A-12 Avenger II shipborne stealth attack aircraft. Of course, f412 is also derived from f404 and is related by blood.

At the same time, the technology of F120 engine is also used. This engine, which is actually a new generation of stealth aircraft, is the Royal engine of yf23.

Ge created f414 by combining the core engine of f412 with f404 low pressure compressor and the radial flame stabilizer of F120 variable cycle turbofan engine. Although it was saved, people have this technology. Look at China. The turbofan VI saved in history is not matched at all. It has been tossed for many years and can't be used.

With the same size, the intake flow of this engine has increased by 20%, and the power has increased by 27%, reaching an amazing 9.9 tons!

Now, our side should put the improvement of this engine on the agenda and exchange the f414 technology. After all, the domestic aviation power engineers are very busy. They are mainly developing the engines of the fourth generation aircraft and do not have enough energy to fully invest in the improvement of f404. This kind of bringing doctrine is the fastest and most practical.

At this time, neither of them expected that their ideas were very different from those of users. The holy national air force was the main customer of the j-14 fighter, and their needs were also a necessary aspect of improvement.

After the plane landed, a helicopter had come to meet them. General Jamal, the air force commander of the holy country, accompanied them personally and took them to the air force base.

"This time, we launched eight lightning 10 missiles, five of which hit the target and shot down three enemy aircraft." Lieutenant Colonel Sharif, the commander of the air battle at that time, introduced it to you.

If you shoot down three targets with eight, the hit rate is too low. In fact, it can't be counted like this. You know, this is a luxury way of intercepting one target with two. Some have been hit by the first one, and then the second one comes up to supplement the results. Therefore, the actual hit rate is not low, more than 50%.

You know, in this era, the hit rate of sparrow missile is only about 10%. Even the later famous aim-120 missile, the hit rate is only more than 30%. The interception effect of Shengjie air force on Lightning 10 missile is quite satisfactory. This is for Fighter targets, if it is for bomber targets, There is no possibility of the other party running away.

Speaking of the battle at that time, Lieutenant Colonel Sharif was still very excited. When the other party's fighter plane exploded into a fireball in the sky, he had caught it with his eyes. If he dared to invade their airspace, he would certainly pay such a price!

Lieutenant Colonel Sharif introduced the results of the whole confrontation. In terms of medium-range air combat, the effectiveness of Han's weapon system has been very good. They are very satisfied!

Tu nodded: "yes, this system has been tested in actual combat. We are very confident in it. If you added some electronic support aircraft at that time, it would be easier to win. Now, do you have any requirements for this aircraft?"

"Of course," general Jamal said, "I invite you here to put forward our own views on some problems in this battle. First, its mounting."

Originally, I thought the other party would mention the lack of power of the engine and the stealth scheme. These friends were well prepared. However, who could have thought that the first problem mentioned by the other party was mounting?

The j-14 fighter has seven plug-in points. For a light aircraft, the plug-in is very good. What else do they dislike?

"Due to its small size, in order to improve its range, we usually carry three auxiliary fuel tanks." general Jamal personally explained that although he is a heavy general of the military, he is still a pilot and will fly for a certain time every year. He is very familiar with lightning fighters and hopes that this aircraft will become more and more powerful.

Now, he began to talk endlessly: "in this way, the pylons on the inner side and belly are occupied. In actual use, we can only mount four missiles, including thunderbolt-9 on the wing tip and lightning-10 on the outside of the wing. Facts have proved that in high-intensity confrontation, only four missiles are certainly not enough."

That's the problem!

In modern air warfare, it is money to fight. Hundreds of thousands of missiles will be consumed up. Qin Guan is familiar with these situations. Only four missiles will indeed face this problem. However, it is very easy to solve it.

"There are many ways to solve this problem," Qin Guan said. "First, on the outside of the wing, we can study a composite hanger. On one hanging point, we can mount two lightning 10 missiles. In this way, we can turn the scheme of two in two close into four in two close."

The most direct way is to use a composite hanger. As long as the weight of the hanging point is enough and the fire control interface of the weapon is adjusted, it can be mounted. In this way, two medium-range missiles are added at once. Do you think it's enough?

This time, although they had only one auxiliary fuel tank, the hanger on the inside of the wing was still useless. In air combat, when the other party fled, because there were not enough missiles, they could only watch the target fly away. If there were medium-range missiles, they could use the missile rain to send off when the other party fled. Now, I heard Qin Guan's plan, They immediately nodded with satisfaction: "yes, if we increase the number of missiles without occupying the inner pylon, this is the best scheme!"
