Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

The sale of red wine was just a small episode, and Bao Zixuan didn't care at all. Because he owned one-third of the entire Bordeaux region's red wine production in 1982, and he might not be able to drink it all by himself in ten lifetimes.

Leon’s food is very good, and it would be nice if I have the chance to let my mother taste it someday. It’s not practical to come to the United States, so it’s a good choice to ask the chef to serve in Xiangjiang. It can also be regarded as a good relationship, maybe one day

Can be used.

Although William Wales Douglas and Bao Shoufu had been chatting, they did not stop drinking. Little Macdonald had no idea about liquor, at most he had only heard of it. After a while, he drank so much that he fell unconscious and could not even drink.

stand up.

Janice Dickinson was waiting next to her, and she was as attentive and considerate as a wife taking care of her husband.

Old William was a little drunk, but he did not forget his identity as an aircraft designer; he began to discuss the issue of fourth-generation fighter jets with Bao Zixuan.

There are two ways to classify fighter aircraft. The United States and the Soviet Union have different views. The Soviet Union is divided into "five generations"; while the United States has one generation less.

At the end of World War II, new technologies catalyzed by years of war emerged one after another. The most eye-catching one was the leap from propellers to jets in air combat platforms. In the late 1940s, the United States and the Soviet Union almost simultaneously equipped the first mature jets.

fighter jets F-86 and MiG-15. At that time, the two sides did not divide the fighter jets into generations. After all, there was only one generation.

Until the first practical supersonic fighter F-100 appeared, the United States called it the second generation jet fighter, which not only left the Soviet Union behind in technology but also in name. In that era, this was absolutely unbearable

So, the Soviet Union immediately responded with the MiG-19, also called it a second-generation jet fighter, to show that it was not lagging behind the United States.

The emergence of second-generation aircraft meant that the F-86 and MiG-15 naturally became the first-generation jet fighters. This opened the era of intergenerational division of jet fighters, and also produced two parallel division standards -

American standards and Soviet/Soviet standards.

As for the third-generation aircraft, they focus on energy, emphasizing close combat and aerial combat. Focusing on energy or power during air combat, the third-generation fighter can be said to be an upgraded version of the spiral aircraft during World War II, that is, it is very fast, and its

Mobility and speed have been significantly improved.

The specialty of the fourth-generation fighter aircraft is that it can hide itself well, has good maneuverability and agility, and also has supersonic patrol capabilities. It is called "4s". The fifth-generation and fourth-generation fighters have a inheritance relationship, and they are constantly summarizing experience.

It increases the aircraft's ability to survive and diversifies its functions. Therefore, each generation of fighter aircraft is a link between the past and the next, and is constantly improved to adapt to the needs of the times.

Old William smiled and said: "What do you think the fourth-generation fighter aircraft should have, so as to surpass the third-generation fighter aircraft?"

This is a big question, but Bao Zixuan knew that if Old William asked this, he must have done relevant rehearsals and discussions. At least he had been engaged in research and development in this area, otherwise it would be impossible to propose a fourth-generation aircraft concept.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "It seems that Senior William is testing me, so I will tell you my own point of view."

"Although the United States and the Soviet Union have different opinions on the classification of fighter aircraft generations, they are generally similar; I will give my personal opinion based on American standards."

"The third-generation fighter jets currently in service such as F14, F15, F-16, F-18, as well as the Soviet MiG-29 and Su-27 are all third-generation fighter jets. They have good maneuverability and beyond-visual-range attacks.

ability."

"With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the performance of weapons and equipment will also be greatly improved. With the current fighter capabilities, the strategic strike capabilities of the US or Soviet Air Force will not be recognized by the military. Both sides are working hard to improve weapon performance. This is indisputable

In fact, of course Heiyun also had related predictions."

"Heiyun Group has formulated a 4S standard for the fourth-generation fighter aircraft, which are super stealth capabilities, supersonic cruise capabilities, super maneuverability, and super battlefield situational awareness capabilities!"

"Through the shape design, electromagnetic waves can be scattered to other places, but the electromagnetic waves will not return, and the radar will not detect the existence of the aircraft. This is also the main principle of achieving stealth capabilities."

"Relying on the absorbing material coated on the surface, radar waves can be absorbed to a certain extent. Of course, the absorbing material plays an auxiliary role and can be optimized in some places where smooth stealth processing is inconvenient."

"With infrared stealth - usually special treatment is done on the engine nozzle to cool down the jet flow as quickly as possible, cool down the outer surface of the engine as quickly as possible, and reduce the infrared signature of the aircraft!"

"The principle of supersonic speed is very simple. As long as your engine has enough thrust and a high thrust-to-weight ratio, it can be achieved. In short, it means achieving greater thrust without significantly increasing the weight of the aircraft."

"There are many ways to achieve super maneuverability. The most important one is to use vector engines to provide directional output and achieve large maneuvers in a short time with huge thrust, while the wings mainly play a minor role."

"Eradicating Moore's Law, the size of electronic components will continue to decrease in the future, while the relative performance will continue to improve. This allows an aircraft to fit more electronic components."

"The fourth-generation aircraft has sensors all over its body to achieve a longer detection range and capture weak signals from other aircraft. Under special circumstances, it can also act as an information node to achieve real-time interaction between each aircraft. It can be said that the fourth-generation aircraft is

A small early warning aircraft is born with powerful information processing capabilities!"

Hearing Bao Zixuan's standard classification of fourth-generation fighter jets, old William suddenly became more awake. No wonder Heiyun Group has developed so rapidly. It turns out that all of this is because of Bao Zixuan's genius brain and infinite imagination.

This is a brain that is no weaker than Newton and Einstein, and most importantly, it has huge wealth. No matter what kind of product, as long as you like it, you can develop it. This is the gap, the real gap.

The F-18 is one of the core products of McDonnell Douglas, and there may be vast room for upgrades in the future. But now it seems that Black Cloud has come to the forefront again. To be able to say so specifically, it must have been developed around the fourth-generation fighter.

.

He has seen the information and videos of the Heiyun hh-01 ghost bomber. The tailless fin is indeed a genius and bold design, with the addition of a wave-absorbing layer. There is no problem at all in achieving stealth under radar; at least with the current technology

It is difficult to track effectively.

The United States has also launched relevant research and development, and McDonnell Douglas is one of the bidders.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that because of the emergence of hh-01 Phantom, the development of the genuine Phantom fighter, which was originally launched four years later, was advanced. Moreover, the time given by the military was very tight, and the technical requirements were extremely high; it was very difficult to implement. However, the national defense

The Ministry believes that there will be no problem with American technology.

And there is no problem. If the Soviet Union obtains the corresponding technology, the United States will face another crisis.

The Heiyun hh-01 Phantom stealth fighter-bomber has a limited bomb load. It can perform ordinary bombing missions, but it is difficult to complete a nuclear strike. It will have little impact on the United States, at least it cannot attack the United States. The United States must be more powerful and have a longer range.

, a tailless stealth strategic bomber fighter with greater bomb-carrying capacity.

But what Bao Zixuan said today made Old William have a different idea.

There are currently many companies bidding for tailless stealth bombers, including Northrop, Grumman, Lockheed, Boeing and many other companies. They are all eyeing this piece of cake. Instead of fighting to the death with other companies, it is better to fight with them.

It's better to find another solution than to break your head and bleed.

McDonnell Douglas can completely abandon the tailless stealth bomber project and focus on fourth-generation fighter jets. Bombers are a niche product. Although each unit has a high unit value, the number is always limited.

Similar problems will not occur with fighter jets, and every country will purchase them. When developed, a model with an unusually large production volume will have a bright future.

There is another very important point, that is, with McDonnell Douglas's current technical strength and financial status, it is definitely not the same as other competitors. Instead of wasting manpower, material resources, and financial resources on a project that is destined to fail, it is better to focus on what you are good at.

field.

At this time, McDonnell Douglas was pouring money into the three-engine passenger aircraft project, and coupled with the bank loans taken when the two companies merged, the military aircraft project did not make much money, and the development of the four-engine super-large passenger aircraft was somewhat difficult.

Not to mention the launch of a tailless strategic stealth bomber within a short period of time, which could lead to the company's bankruptcy.

I haven’t heard of any company starting the research and development of next-generation fighter jets. After all, the third-generation fighter jets have only been in service for a short time. If McDonnell Douglas is ahead of the curve and conducts research and development at a low speed, it will definitely enter the Ministry of National Defense’s bidding process with a huge advantage in the future.
