Chapter 429 Technology Sales

No one would doubt the advanced American aviation technology. Even the Soviet Union was aiming at the United States. They would do what the Americans had, and they would do the corresponding performance, surpassing the Americans, and the Americans were the maker of technical indicators.

In addition to familiar ones, there are other unfamiliar aircraft. For example, there is an aircraft that is obviously modified from the -16, but the shape of the wing is so special, it is like a scimitar!

As they got off the plane and watched, Old Arslan and his group entered an office building. In a large conference room, some U.S. Air Force officials, some U.S. Airline officials, were already waiting for their arrival, and their target was only one.

"Your research in the field of stealth of fighter jets has made us very interested. We hope to share these research results with you." After sitting down, the representative of the United States, commander of the U.S. Air Force Equipment Command, Air Force General David said cordially.

As the commander of the Equipment Command, he is mainly responsible for various equipment of the army. David has a more advanced air combat awareness and knows that the future sky will inevitably belong to stealth fighter jets. Now, the mission of the US Air Force is to develop such stealth fighter jets on its own, and at the same time, block the road for others to develop stealth fighter jets!

Even in later generations, the United States did this. A -35 project almost brought up the entire Western Europe. They did not obtain any technology. Instead, their own domestic military aircraft development technology was delayed. The only function was to share the development funds for the United States and finally share the sales pressure. Various countries provided funds and various countries ordered a batch of fighter jets.

Now that the United States has discovered the signs of Pakistan's development of stealth fighters, it is naturally necessary to find a way to get Pakistan's technology over. At the same time, for such friendly countries, they have to use a shared approach to kill Pakistan's development of fighters.

"Share the results?" asked Old Arslan, "How to share? What benefits can we get?"

Of course, Old Arslan is very vigilant. The main thing is that if the Americans ask to take it out now, the Pakistani technical information is not ready yet, and it must be delayed for a while now.

"We in the United States are now developing the fourth-generation aircraft. The main contractors are Lockheed and Northrop. Now, representatives of these companies are here. You can choose to join any of their companies to share all your information on stealth, and at the same time participate in the development of this fourth-generation fighter in the United States." David said: "Our fourth-generation fighter will have outstanding performance, such as supersonic cruise capability. You can perform supersonic flight and stealth performance without turning on the afterburner. It will be stealthy and maneuverable on the opponent's radar. The engine has thrust vectoring function, can make various maneuverable actions, and has accurate strike capabilities beyond the visual range. If you participate in the development, then we will export this fighter to your country after the successful development of this fighter. It will require considerable investment in developing a fighter. You may not be able to bear the development of this advanced fighter for the time being."

Old Arslan looked at the four-star general in the United States. In the United States, the lieutenant general was three stars and the general was four stars. The five-star general was equivalent to a marshal, and was awarded only in wartime. Now, the four-star one is already the highest rank in the army. The person in front of him is a veteran in the US team.

Such a person has almost zero credibility in his speech! He fooled Pakistan and them to jointly develop it. How could Americans be so kind!

Instead of jointly developing it, it is better to think of another way! An idea suddenly popped up in Old Arslan's mind. He said to Admiral David in front of him: "We in Pakistan will encounter many difficulties if we want to fully develop a new fighter. We only make breakthroughs in stealth technology. The stealth performance of new fighter jets is only one aspect. Supersonic cruise requires engines with a thrust-weight ratio of more than 10, and we in Pakistan have no ability to manufacture them. Therefore, our stealth technology can only be a prelude. However, if we share technology with you, we are afraid that we will not be able to provide any technology in other aspects. Therefore, instead of sharing technology, we are more willing to sell our current development results."

For sale! As soon as Old Arslan said, he shocked everyone.

This stealth technology is very confidential, and they never thought that Pakistan would sell these technologies.

"Then you sell these technologies, will you still use them?" asked a Boeing employee.

"How do we use it?" asked Old Arslan, "We develop our own fourth-generation aircraft? Do you think we have this ability?"

Old Arslan's words would reassure the other party. If Pakistan sells these technologies to the United States and continues to do them secretly, it is probably not in the interests of the United States. But now, Old Arslan's words are very realistic. Does Pakistan have this ability?

It is possible to make certain progress in stealth technology, but the development of an aircraft is a whole system, and any subsystem is enough for Pakistan to have a headache.

"Then how do you plan to sell it?" asked a Lockheed employee. Their current y-22 is also in the design stage. If Pakistan's results can be obtained, it will have a great promotion effect.

"We haven't figured out how to sell it yet," said Old Arslan. "I have to go back and report to our president. At the same time, we welcome all companies to propose their own purchasing methods."

This guy is treacherous! Suddenly, this idea came to everyone present. This Pakistani people are really interesting. Everything can be measured by money! It is said that Pakistani President Mhamad is the best at doing business. Now, their research results can also be packaged and sold!

The purpose of not proposing a sale here is to allow major companies to compete below, especially Lockheed and Northrop. No one knows the price offered by the other party. At the same time, everyone will be afraid that the other party will buy these technologies. In this way, the price for sale in Pakistan will eventually be far higher than the value of these technologies themselves, and there is no second choice for major companies.

Old Arslan didn't know that these people were suspicious of him in their hearts. Old Arslan swore to the sky that he had absolutely no such idea. He did this just to delay time.

The bulging air intake is enough to attract those companies. After all, even a kilogram of weight loss for the aircraft will bring about improvements in the performance of the aircraft, especially the fourth-generation aircraft, which requires stealth. If the aerodynamic design of the fuselage is compromised with stealth, it will require more consideration in weight loss.

Lockheed and Northrop's people have already begun to think about how to defeat their opponents and turn the technology developed by Pakistan into the technology of their own company.

David did not expect Pakistan to make such a choice and sell such a core technology. It would be fine, at least it shows that Pakistan has self-knowledge and will not independently develop any fourth-generation aircraft. Even the Soviet Union and the third-generation aircraft have just been successful now, and the fourth-generation aircraft are still far away.

"The Pakistan Air Force has the most experience in fighting with the Soviet Union. As the chief of staff of Pakistan's Air Force, you must have a lot of experience. This time we hope you can tell us about the experience you have accumulated in your country, which will be of great help to us in developing the next generation of fighter jets." Admiral David changed the topic in time.

Although Tomcat fighter jets belong to the navy, many tactics are universal. The biggest enemy of the US Air Force is also the Soviet Union. They need some advice from Pakistan.

"Electronic technology is the key to determining future wars." Old Arslan knew that the topics next were useless, but he had to brag about them to let them know how to fight. Of course, Old Arslan's experience is actually the consensus of everyone.

"Medium-range air-to-air missiles that can fly correctly in complex electromagnetic interference environments, especially active guides, will have an advantage in combat. Large off-axis combat bullets will make close combat more dangerous. We expect that in the future, close combat will be less and less. In such combat, life and death will almost depend on your own luck." Old Arslan talked freely.

Afterwards, Old Arslan continued to visit several air bases in the United States and contacted pilots on the front line of the United States. This trip to the United States was about to end.

Almost the day before the end, the representative of Grumman Company suddenly said to Old Arslan: "Your Air Force is the main customer of our Grumman Company's Tomcat fighter jets. This time at the Famburg Roy Air Show, your Air Force has brought the performance of this fighter to the extreme. You have come to the United States, and our Grumman Company welcomes you to visit our company for inspection."

Grumman Company issued a sincere invitation. Faced with such invitation, Old Arslan could not refuse. Not to mention anything else, it was because Pierre, the president of Grumman Company, is the father-in-law of his own president Mhamad, and Old Arslan had to go there.

So, the last destination of Old Arslan's inspection became Grumman Company.
