Chapter 309 Double delta wings?
In the later Peace Model (i.e., the Pearl of Peace) project, the two SS fighters and a solid model arrived at the Bispeg factory of Grumman Company in the United States. Both sides completed the installation and testing of the aircraft's avionics system, and then flew to Edwards Air Force Base for a comprehensive test flight. The US side used the 6510th Squadron of the "Air Force Flight Test Center" at the Edwards Base. The director of the US test flight project was a senior test pilot with 5,700 flight hours experience and had written textbooks for US military flight schools. At the same time, about 20 Chinese technicians went to the Grumman Company factory and Dayton Air Force Base for training and study.
The comprehensive test flight allowed the United States to fully grasp all the technical performance of this fighter. This fighter that China considers the most advanced, no confidentiality can be said.
Therefore, when Fred mentioned providing technical guidance and opening test flight bases to test flights, Zhang Feng knew that the other party must have made some tricks again. These Americans wanted to take advantage of all kinds of advantages at critical moments.
Tu Jida of course thought of this, and said: "We have conducted a complete wind tunnel experiment. We are very confident in this fighter jet. Modified avionics. This project will not cause a big change in the entire aircraft. It is completely within our capabilities. We have conducted technical risk assessment in advance."
"However, we are not optimistic about your ability. To be honest, you have never designed a brand new aircraft. This kind of aircraft will have various problems. Our company has strong technical strength and can help you solve these problems." Fred said.
Song Wencheng next to him was a little annoyed, but he also knew that the other party was right about his country's aviation industry. After ten years of catastrophe, it was already very good that it could maintain its current situation. This is similar to studying a new fighter. When designing it, various problems will arise.
"We are confident in solving any problems during the test flight." Song Wenluo said.
Fred shook his head: "We can't install our avionics system on a fighter plane that has great technical risks and may be lost. I'm sorry I have to hurry up."
This is really a shame! Although Tu Jida and Song Wencong both knew that the other party was just putting pressure on themselves, this made them angry enough.
Seeing that the negotiations were about to fail, Zhang Feng quickly said: "I can make a compromise suggestion to give China half a year to allow their bodies to test flights normally, without any problems. In this way, the US can install the avionics system on it with confidence. If there is any problem, China can improve it. If it really cannot be solved, out of great friendship, the US technicians can help improve it.
When Tu Jida heard this, half a year was a bit tight, but if the funds were in place, they could completely create new fighter jets.
"It's okay, the modifications are carried out in our company," Fred said.
After talking for a long time, I returned to the topic of the matter?
"It is more appropriate to modify it in our Chengfei." Tu Jida said: "The design and manufacturing of the aircraft are carried out in our company, and the modification is naturally also in our company."
"No, your company does not have the advanced equipment of ours, so it is very troublesome to modify it." Kashin said.
The atmosphere became tense again, and the Americans still wanted to get the plane over and study it themselves.
"I have a suggestion that the United States is too far away and has to cross the Pacific Ocean. To be honest, the equipment of Chengfei is a bit backward. Why not go to our newly built aircraft factory to modify and test flights!" Zhang Feng said: "Anyway, we already have a complete set of testing equipment here, which can meet the requirements of modification and testing. Moreover, in this way, it can be done more secretly to avoid hostility from certain countries."
Some countries Zhang Feng mentioned are naturally the big country in the north. If China improves the fighter with the help of the United States, the other party will definitely be very unhappy.
When Fred heard that although he was not in the United States, there were many engineers here, so he could fully understand this kind of fighter.
Tujida felt that he could accept it, because this modification plan was originally proposed by Your Excellency Kusai. Contacting these avionics equipment was also helped by Your Excellency Kusai. The combat effectiveness of the J-7 was not as high as that of Budao. Moreover, this fighter jet will be introduced to the international market with Iraq in the future. So far, the domestic air force still has no funds for modification, and they are all prepared by themselves, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets to Iraq.
Both sides accepted this proposal and it was considered to be over.
"So, what kind of avionics equipment do you need?" Kashen asked.
"We need the entire aircraft to use a B data bus, using expensive radars, cockpit displays, and airborne computers to form the brand new avionics system that forms our entire fighter." Tu Jida said. "We are planning to introduce fifty sets in advance." Fred had already learned about these in Zhang Feng in advance, and the other party wanted to modify the avionics, and he only wanted to sell the avionics. Anyway, this type of fighter is always exported, so there is no need to worry about too many technical leaks.
Fifty sets? When Fred heard this, he knew that it was indeed a big business. He thought about it in his mind and said, "We have made a preliminary budget and will cost about 500 million US dollars."
For $500 million, one set is $10 million. You should know that the entire F-20 machine is only $11 million.
The Americans are asking for a price too harshly. You know, even if the foreign exchange reserves of the entire China are not yet worth $500 million.
"Mr. Fred." Zhang Feng said this time: "I hope you know that the modified J-17 fighter jet is an international cooperation project, with the Chinese side providing the fuselage. The US modified avionics and Wandi funds jointly promoted to the international market. The target of sales of relatively poor countries like Asia, Africa and Latin America will not cause competition for your fighter jets. However, if this kind of avionics is added, the cost will be too high and one can't be sold at all, let alone 500 million US dollars. In this case, there will be no five dollars." Zhang Feng has already made it clear that this modified avionics is provided by you, but the price cannot be too high, otherwise, you are not a sucker, and the money will be paid by yourself. Besides, if you have such a high, there is no feasibility at all, and the plan can only be sued.
After saying that, Zhang Feng looked at his watch and added: "I don't think there is much time left, so you should fly back to the United States! Your company must be in a hurry."
When Fred saw this situation, he knew that he had really wanted it. If he knew that the final payment was Mr. Kusai, he would not have raised the price so high: "This price is the price proposed by the company. However, when I go back this time, I will discuss it with the president, and the price should be lowered." He could not say he was dead, so both sides have room to maneuver, and they can continue to increase funds in the later stage!
"At most, 150 million yuan, including all modification costs. Otherwise, I can go to Dassault to have a look." Zhang Feng said.
Fred was shocked, but his face was quiet and said, "After returning to the company, I will give you a reply as soon as possible." 150 million US dollars, then, one aircraft is three million US dollars, and the profit is one. Although the profit is not low, this is high-tech electronic technology. Fred thinks that it is only within the minimum acceptable limit.
Looking at the passenger plane Fred was flying into the blue sky, Zhang Feng looked at the two Chinese people around him and said, "Old Tu, Mr. Song, there is so much I can do.
I hope your fighter jets can be tested as soon as possible. I can invest 20 million US dollars in advance. I should be able to make a prototype, right?" 20 million? Old Tu was happy. With these 20 million, the prototypes can be built.
"It's absolutely fine." Mr. Tu said: "Your Excellency Kusai is really our great friend!" "I have always attached importance to exchanges with your country, because your country will surely usher in a new take-off in the future!" Zhang Feng said.
"Next, I invite you to visit our aircraft production line, but the factory is still very messy now because some equipment is still being installed and debugged." Both of them were excited to hear the invitation to visit the production line, which was also one of their purpose.
On the way to Zubaier, Zhang Feng thought about his investment in Chengfei. Although his funds are very tight now, he still made this investment. However, after the development is successful, the market potential is still very great. In just neighboring Pakistan, there will probably be orders of dozens or even hundreds of aircraft. At that time, his investment will bring real benefits.
Progress has been made in improving the nose. Zhang Feng knew that the next plan was also time to explain to these experts.
"Old Tu, in fact, the potential of the J-7 can be further explored." Zhang Feng said.
?Old Tu and Mr. Song sat in Zhang Feng's business car, looking at Zhang Feng, but didn't understand for a moment. Could this person be a natural talent? What he said was that improving the J-7 was already a huge progress. Now he said that the J-7 could be further transformed?
"The J-7 has improved its ability to exceed the visual range, but its close combat capability is still not very strong. In fact, as long as the wings of the J-7 are improved, the combat effectiveness can be improved by another level." Zhang Feng said: "This method is to modify it to a double triangle.
Wing. Double-delta wing Tujida asked: ˉSweden's saab35 dragon, the kind of double-delta wing used by the fighter jet?" Zhang Feng shook his head first and nodded again: "Yes, but not exactly., Jian 1
