The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master

In addition to the greatly improved low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability, Fu Guoxiang also spoke highly of the aircraft's new cockpit.

Especially the integrated front windshield.

This made Yao Mengna, who had been silent beside her just now, very happy.

After a long time, the crowd surrounding Prototype 04 gradually dispersed, preparing to return to their jobs.

Yang Fenghao called one of his secretaries from the side:

"Let the cafeteria prepare a few more dishes. Let's celebrate a little tonight, especially to celebrate Comrade Xiao Chang!"

"There's no need to drink. We have to analyze the test flight data in the evening. There may be a meeting tomorrow. We'll talk about it after the aircraft design is finalized."

Chang Haonan deliberately walked at the end of the team and took a look at the current situation of the system.

[Research points: 120

Theoretical level: LV2 (0/10000)

Engineering experience: LV1 (370/1000)

Management ability: LV1 (100/1000)

Comprehensive ability: LV1

Projects in progress: 0

Projects that can be carried out: 1]

Unsurprisingly, this was his biggest gain since his rebirth.

50 scientific research points, 300 engineering experience points, and 135 management ability points.

Chang Haonan is temporarily unable to perceive the effect of improving his management ability by one level, but the increase in scientific research points is real.

Especially when he was about to verify the overall design of the turbojet 14.

…

While there was a lot of joy here, the two Sukhoi engineers who were specially arranged to "accidentally" see the entire first flight process were obviously thinking about more.

"Artyom, did you see the low-altitude pass that the plane just made?" Mosin leaned against a wall and gently touched his beard: "How fast do you think it was?"

"I know what you mean." Trusov did not waste time to answer the question directly, but answered directly: "Although it is not clear what kind of changes they have made, the performance of this new aircraft is obviously better than I was a lot stronger before.”

The two Russians must have no way of knowing the ins and outs of the modifications to the wing design.

In addition, the entire posture created by Yang Fenghata looked like the first flight of a new model, so none of them thought that the aircraft was actually just modified from the previous prototype, and they all thought that the 601 Institute had tinkered with it. new model.

"Although this type of aircraft was designed by them themselves, it is indeed somewhat similar to our Su-15."

Mosin is older than Trusov, and he participated in the later improvements of the Su-15 aircraft:

"In the 1980s, we installed double delta wings on many Su-15TMs, which greatly improved the aircraft's maneuverability. However, when the aircraft just flew over our heads, we could see that it still retained the large Delta wing.”

"If there are no big changes in the overall design, it should be that they have adopted some lifting technology. We are too far away to see the details clearly."

Trusov shrugged, and then looked at his old friend next to him with vigilant eyes: "Don't you want to take a closer look? I don't want to cause trouble."

Although two people were hired to improve the technology of the J-8II ACT, other models were naturally kept secret from them.

"Do you think I'm stupid... Besides, no matter how much modifications are made to this aircraft, it will still be a second-generation aircraft. There is nothing worth seeing." Mosin shook his head decisively:

"What I'm thinking is, are they sending a signal by flying a new model with significantly improved performance for the first time at this time?"

Trusov on the side obviously didn’t want to think too much about these things:

"How about reporting this matter to the country through the consulate and letting the higher ups take care of it? The two of us rely on technology to make a living, so it's useless to think about it. But I just heard vaguely that there is a celebration banquet in their cafeteria tonight. Food It should be much better than usual.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mosin was obviously convinced:

"That's fine. Then I'll make a call. You can go to the cafeteria and get me some food first."

In this way, the news of "a new J-8 improved test flight" was quickly spread back to Russia.

Due to the time difference, when Shengjing planned to have dinner, the time in Moscow happened to be just after lunch.

Sukhoi Design Bureau.

A middle-aged man walking in a hurry walked into the office of Mikhail Simonov, the chief designer of the Su-27 aircraft and the current head of the Sukhoi company.

"Misha, you're here, sit down first."

The man's name was Mikhail Pogosian, who was considered Simonov's student and successor.

After the former gradually withdrew from front-line work due to age and energy issues, he has gradually begun to actually lead the technical department of the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Simonov got straight to the point:

"Misha, our negotiations with the Chinese on the transfer of Su-27 aircraft technology must be accelerated. You tell Kurbsky that we can make decisions regarding the specific content of the transfer and the number of aircraft to be purchased. There must be concessions, but the price, especially the transaction method, must be guaranteed.”

"Boost?"

Pogosyan was a little confused by Simonov's sudden statement:

In fact, the master and the apprentice had certain differences on the matter of arms sales to China.

Simonov has always been very tough, especially regarding the Su-27SK that imports parts for assembly, that is, the contract number of J-11A. He has always insisted on killing at least 200 aircraft. The negotiations between the two parties have not been going smoothly.

Pogosian believes that instead of wasting time and energy on such things, it is better to use some concessions to exchange funds faster, and then invest in the development of new models of aircraft.

"Yes, speed up." Simonov nodded:

"To be specific, we agree to transfer the production line of the two-seat Su-27UB together and no longer restrict them from replacing core components such as radar, engine and airframe materials. Of course, we will certainly not be responsible for the technical problems that arise after the replacement. , let’s make this clear.”

"This... why did you suddenly..."

"Come and take a look at this." Simonov said, picking up a brief paper from the desk and handing it to Pogosyan.

The above is naturally about the first flight of the new aircraft of Institute 601.

"new model……"

Pogosian probably understood why his teacher's attitude had changed 180°.

However, he was still a little confused:

"But teacher, even if according to the above, the performance of China's new aircraft has improved greatly, they currently have no way to produce usable beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles. What's the use of just one aircraft?"

The main reason is that even he feels that the concession Simonov just mentioned is really too big.

That’s not to say that these conditions must not be agreed to.

At least……

Need to pay more.

"This is what I'm worried about..."

Simonov let out a long sigh, then stretched out his hand and tapped rhythmically on the table:

"You know, they actually discussed the beetle radar issue with the Fazatron Research Institute before, and also negotiated with Ermao on the introduction of R27 air-to-air missiles. Now they have built an airframe with good performance..."

Bogosian's expression also became serious.

Originally, both parties were actually very anxious.

Sukhoi Company is facing economic pressure and is eager to get money to revitalize the situation.

As a heavy-duty fighter with a maximum take-off weight of more than 30 tons, the Su-27's help to China's aviation manufacturing industry is also obvious.

This is also the main reason why the two sides were able to stalemate——

They all felt that the other party would be unable to hold on any longer.

But now, even if China still has difficulties with weapons systems, it can turn to purchasing key components and obtain certain beyond-visual-range air combat capabilities in a short period of time.

They may be less anxious.

But not even a single ruble of the money spent on radars and missiles went into the pockets of Sukhoi.

Thinking of this, Bogosian couldn't sit still anymore.

"I'll go find Kurbski right away!"
