Chapter 612 - Taste of It (1/2)
A five-cornered, diamond pentagonal forward-swept fighter jet began to take shape bit by bit on the computer screen
”This is your own fighter
” Captain jiang, who accompanied Lin Mo, looked incredulous
Forward sweep
His eyes almost popped out
As a senior pilot, captain jiang naturally understood the type of fighter he had witnessed with his own eyes
Originally thought to be similar to the” stick” type of fighter, it was at most similar to the f-22, which had to be considered whether to build it, but never thought it would be such a strange shape
What kind of technology would this require
The russians did it, and the su-47” golden eagle” turned out to be just two prototypes, and then they just put it on display
The germans did it, and ju287 was captured by the soviet army, and nothing happened
The americans had done it before
The x-29a, gruman, was just using it as a test machine for technical demonstration
Without any additional wings or thrust vector technology, it could achieve excellent roll control, but with the rise of Lockheed, it disappeared
There was also an unknown sf / f-16, which was eventually eliminated because the material could not solve the problem of structural divergence
Otherwise, today's third-generation american main fighter f-16” war falcon” would have all the features of a forward swept wing with a negative 25 degree angle
China also has a forward-swept experimental aircraft, the xp-1” r & d” fighter jet before liberation
The plan was halted due to a test flight crash in 1945
After liberation, there were also continued research and development of the” dark sword” single-engine drone
Originally designed with forward-swept wings, it was later finalized with a rear-swept wing
However, the research and development of the forward-swept wing is still ongoing in various countries
China has begun to develop pilot aircraft for manned forward-swept wing fighters, such as the national defense star's x-1, as the design of the fourth generation fighter
If the technology is mature, the national defense star is likely to compete with fighter jets such as the j-14, j-18, j-20 and j-31 for orders for the next generation or the next two main fighter jets in china
The outstanding performance of the forward-swept wing is well known, but until now, no country has dared to apply the forward-swept wing technology to its main fighter
The us, which has a technological advantage, cannot afford to gamble
Russia, which is big and thick, is not confident
China's technology and materials are not mature enough
Britain can only be used to build drones
France and other countries can only look at it
There is not even the accumulation of technology to build an experimental plane
Technology is not so much a roadblock for the forward-swept wing as materials and structures are the real roadblocks for the forward-swept wing
The problems of structural divergence and invisibility are plaguing the development of the forward-swept wing
But for Lin Mo, who owned the Golden dragon, the problems of materials and structures no longer existed
Even the national defense star and the Aerospace department relied on Lin Mo's alloy recipe library to solve many technical problems caused by materials
Many special technologies are actually compromises where the material is not up to standard
If the material is up to standard, then there is no need to study the technology at all
Seeing captain jiang's increasingly suspicious expression, he shrugged and nodded
” That's right, this is the fighter that I designed and personally assembled
It is a product that has been jointly provided with technology sharing by experts from various domestic aviation design institutes
As it is a joint effort, the blueprints of this fighter are publicly shared
Therefore, chen heng's national defense star has an experimental prototype, and there are similar experimental machines in other factories in the country
”” Don't lie to me, your engine data is not right
There is such a strong engine in the country
And this fire control system, radar system, when will the domestic manufacturers have the technology to produce these equipment
The americans are just like that
” The seasoned captain jiang looked at the data that lin mo reported to the computer experts and was very familiar with all the fighter jets in the world
He even knew every single parameter at his fingertips and realized something was wrong on the spot
The engine parameters alone are even worse than the domestic s-15x
When did the china gas turbine research institute have such a good technology
” This is too confusing
The data of this fighter jet was so amazing that even the j-20 was thrown away
Lin Mo even said he built it himself
Didn't the design institutes in the country eat dry food
The country spent so much research and development funds in vain
” It's true, more true than real gold
Your suspicions are very reasonable
Some of the equipment is not made domestically, and some are sponsored by americans
” Lin Mo grinned
He was not as honest as the national aerospace design institute
