Chapter 428 Coating!
"Sorry. We can only see." Lieutenant General Paul said: "This is our highest secret."
"I want to touch it." Old Arslan said: "Your plane cannot be damaged, right?"
Originally, Lieutenant General Paul took Old Arslan to see from a distance. Now, seeing Old Arslan is about to take action, Lieutenant General Paul rationally wants to stop him. However, after hearing Old Arslan's words, you plane cannot be damaged, right? Lieutenant General Paul can't stop him no matter what.
If you touch it, if it is broken, is this still called a fighter?
Old Arslan's hand, placed on the body of the -117, had a frosted feeling on the surface, which was a special coating on the surface.
Mhamad's words kept popping up in the mind of Old Arslan.
"The coating of this type of aircraft is very advanced. If we get this coating, just slightly modify our existing fighter jets and apply this coating, it can also greatly reduce the radar reflection area."
If a fighter wants to be invisible in front of the radar, the wave absorbing coating is very important. This coating is not so easy to develop. This has been studied for several years. It has a weak industrial foundation and poor scientific research strength. It is very difficult for one to study. Now, this ready-made thing is in front of you, and you must find a way!
Is there any way to bring this coating back? While touching the stealth aircraft, Old Arslan lowered his head and drilled from under the fuselage to the other side of the aircraft. When Old Arslan's body was on the other side of the aircraft, the ground staff in the hangar and Lieutenant General Paul's sight were temporarily blocked by the fuselage.
Lieutenant General Paul also took a step forward and wanted to follow him.
It was at this time! Old Arslan almost used all his strength to slide down from the fuselage with his index finger, his nails were in contact with the plane, and he was so painful that he was sucked.
Old Arslan endured the pain and kept scratching from it. When he let go of his hand, he could see that there was a little black thing in his nails.
"How are our fighter jets?" said Lieutenant General Paul.
"Looking at this fighter, it takes full care of stealth performance, but its appearance does not conform to aerodynamics, so its flight performance must be very poor." Old Arslan said: "I look at the plane, I am afraid that it can't even fly supersonically. It's just a subsonic aircraft that can only attack the ground and have no air combat capabilities."
Old Arslan had a unique vision and could see the problem at a glance. The -117's appearance is not for air combat at all. Moreover, if you want supersonic speed, you need to turn on the afterburner, and the tail flame will become more hot. In this case, although the radar cannot detect it, infrared devices can also be easily discovered, and the purpose of stealth cannot be achieved.
Therefore, when the -117 was designed, it used an engine without afterburner and could not perform supersonic flights at all. At the same time, it did not have any air combat capabilities. It survived completely on stealth capabilities on the airfield.
Lieutenant General Paul admired his own fight, but Paul could never belittle his own fighter jet.
"It is the ghost in the night, a sharp sword to tear the enemy's air defense system." Lieutenant General Paul said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chief of Staff, our plane is very secretive. Now it's an exception to show you. At this point, it's time to leave."
"Somewhat dizzy," said Old Arslan. "Maybe he's too tired. Can you find me a room? I want to take a rest first."
Old Arslan's face was a little pale.
In the dormitory in a corner of the base, there is a dedicated room.
Old Arslan was lying on the bed, and today was a tired day!
Seeing that the Americans were gone, Old Arslan picked up the nail clipper, put paper under it, and carefully cut off his nails. The black marks stained on them were still there.
After the package was completed, Old Arslan breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to send a entourage back to China and send this thing back!
Old Arslan can only do so much, although there are a few such products. I hope that domestic scientific and technological personnel can figure out the ingredients of these coatings and develop similar products. If the domestic technology is not good, they can also cooperate with Eastern countries.
The Americans didn't know that they just showed their stealth aircraft to Old Arslan, but in the end, their coating samples were stolen by the Pakistani!
Americans just want to show Pakistan that the United States has a considerable technical level in stealth. It is almost impossible for Pakistan to develop stealth aircraft alone. The only option is to cooperate with the United States to provide technology to the United States.
What the United States is interested in is the appearance design effect of this duck layout in Pakistan, including the stealth performance, the aerodynamic performance, the bulging air intake duct, the intake efficiency, and whether it can completely replace the role of the partition of the air intake duct.
The next day, Old Arslan returned to his spirits after a night of rest. Under the guidance of Paul, they arrived at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
This base is the most important air force base in the United States. Now, the base is equipped with the US Air Force Flight Test Center, the Dryton Flight Research Center, and other institutions. The runway inside the base is in the lake bed and can land on the space shuttle. This is also the first backup airport for the Nasa Space Shuttle.
In the development of aircraft, the test flight work is also very important. This is one of the important test flight bases of the US Air Force. It has a series of institutions involving national defense secrets, including the US Air Force Equipment Command, the Air Force Flight Test Center, the Air Force Test Pilot School, Philip Aerospace Board Laboratory and the National Aeronautics and Space Association.
Therefore, the level of confidentiality here is very high, and visitors of the same level as Old Arslan are very rare.
Now, Old Arslan followed Paul and inspected here. You can see an aircraft similar to -15 taking off on the runway. The difference is that the wings are full of bombs.
