Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Qin Yang didn't realize his luck was so good. After communicating with Pellehac, Pellehac returned. Just a day later, the McDonnell Douglas company sent news that they would send engineers over!

Now that the engineers were coming, he had to give them a good sales pitch.

After waiting another day, Brown, the engineer sent by the other party, arrived in the East and appeared in the office of Fangbei Company.

"President Qin, how did you know about the death dive problem of our T-45 trainer?" After settling down, Brown began to ask questions. It was impossible for Qin Yang to just say a word and the other party would send the plane over. They definitely wanted to ask questions thoroughly.

"I don't know, but our aircraft engineers here know. After looking at the photos of your prototype, he talked about it." Qin Yang said, "I was there at the time and heard some of it. Later, when I saw Pellehac, I told him about it."

People are not omnipotent. It's one thing for Qin Yang to be great at ground weapon systems, but it's impossible for him to be so great at developing aircraft. That requires decades of research experience. If Qin Yang said he knew it himself, the other party definitely wouldn't believe it. But if he said it was speculated by a domestic aircraft designer, the credibility would be very high.

"Can I meet him?"

"No, he is busy with a certain national defense project and is not in the capital. He can't come for the time being. However, knowing that you were coming, he wrote an analysis report for you to take a look at."

This information was naturally written by Qin Yang himself, all in English. Brown took it and looked at it carefully.

Outsiders watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. Whether there is real skill or not can be seen at a glance.

Brown picked up the information, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

The death dive is not unique to the Phantom fighter. As early as the early 1950s, the British-developed Meteor T7 fighter discovered this problem. The airflow generated after opening the speed brake would cause the tail to fail, and the aircraft would suddenly enter a dive. This problem was not solved until the fighter was retired, but it could be avoided by giving up the use of the speed brake at low speeds. Specifically, the speed brake should not be used after the landing gear is lowered to avoid this.

In the Phantom fighter, this problem was more complicated. The engineers at the time solved the problem by making the tail droop and slit. Now, in the T-45, this problem will reappear, and may even be more complicated. The specific analysis is as follows.

The T-45 was modified from a land-based fighter. The wing fence was removed, and the lift coefficient of the wing was increased. After the flaps are fully deflected, the effective angle of attack of the horizontal tail will be greatly increased…

This analysis could not help but make people sigh that there are still great people in the East who can analyze these technical problems in a clear and logical manner! It's just like that! The same as their own analysis!

"This analysis report only has the analysis of the causes, but no suggestions for handling it," Brown said.

This is not a modern fighter that needs to be kept secret. This is just an ordinary trainer, there is nothing to keep secret. It has been sold a lot all over the world, the main trainer of NATO. Moreover, since the aircraft designer in the East can analyze the problem, maybe he can really help solve it.

"We will send a prototype over, but it can only be placed here for a maximum of three months. We hope that during this time, you can find a solution to the problem."

"Will you send technical personnel with you?"

"Yes, we will send several technical personnel to work with you."

Thinking about it, it's normal that the other party can't send no one. However, there is always a chance. Once the plane is in his hands, is he still afraid of not having a chance to dismantle it? At worst, dismantle it at night to study it, then put it back in the morning, or find a chance to get these technical personnel drunk…

Brown went back to coordinate, and Qin Yang could only leave the capital and go to Base 011.

"President Qin, welcome to our Base 011." After receiving the news, Yu Ximing was very excited. He had been preparing for a long time, waiting for Qin Yang to arrive. Now, seeing Qin Yang, he was even more grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Without President Qin, there would be no today for their Base 011.

"How is it here?" Qin Yang asked.

"President Qin, we have already moved out of the mountains. Everyone is full of energy and wants to start a career. By the way, our JJ-7 has been copied. Would you like to take a look?"

"Okay." Qin Yang nodded.

The JJ-7 is of great significance to the East. Even in the era of the third-generation aircraft, trainers like the JJ-7 are needed to train pilots. Before there were advanced trainers, the JJ-7 was the most advanced trainer.

Now, the imitation work of the JJ-7 has been completed. After a successful test flight, it can be delivered to the troops.

In fact, the trainer aircraft matched with this fighter is not complicated. Just add a cockpit behind the normal trainer aircraft cockpit, and turn the single seat into a double seat. The old Maozi did it this way. The forward view of the rear cockpit is almost zero, but this is not difficult for the old Maozi. When landing, just open the periscope in the rear seat.

What about his own JJ-7?

Qin Yang followed Yu Ximing into the production workshop and saw the JJ-7 being assembled. When he saw it, he was immediately stunned.

The nose was completely modified!

The nose air intake was changed to side air intakes, and the front fuselage was inclined downwards. This created a cockpit in the front, forming a front-low and rear-high cockpit layout, which looked very modern.

The rear wing was also replaced with a double delta wing. Is this still a JJ-7? This is simply a Mountain Eagle.

He was usually too busy and didn't come here to take a look. If he had known that the Mountain Eagle trainer had come out, he could have directly improved it on the basis of this trainer and turned it into a carrier-based trainer. What was he doing with the T-45?

However, the airframe structure of the J-7 has not changed much. The tail is a separate structure. This layout is not suitable for arrested landings. After hooking the arresting cable, the rear fuselage may be pulled off.

"President Qin, how is our trainer?"

"Not bad, very good. This trainer should be able to serve for thirty years." Qin Yang nodded.

"These were all your suggestions at the beginning. We modified it ourselves. It is said that Lao Ba has also taken a fancy to it and wants to use our aircraft to train pilots for the third-generation aircraft," Yu Ximing said.
