The stealth fighter project has been underway for several years, but the progress has not been as great as expected.

Of course, it did not deviate from expectations too much.

Even the Soviets did not handle this technology, and they have started since the Super-7A project was launched, but various theoretical research is indispensable to meet the performance requirements of stealth fighters.

Many supporting ones also require theoretical foundations.

According to Western standards, the No. 10 project of the third-generation aircraft has not been developed in China, and it is directly used to go to the fourth-generation aircraft, which is not very technically difficult.

But if you want to overtake on the curve and catch up with the world's advanced level, no matter how great the difficulties are, you must bear them.

The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation.

In recent years, hasn’t domestic military technology been under tremendous pressure and developed rapidly in the absence of funds?

"Chief, welcome to inspect and guide the work." Xiong Hongyuan, Huo Haiyuan and others put down their work and came to greet Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others who suddenly came to inspect.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan haven't been here for a long time, and this time is different from before. There is no notice in advance. It just informs this place before the plane takes off, which makes everyone confused.

The R&D and production work are all carried out step by step. Project No. 10 is progressing very quickly and has now entered the prototype trial production stage.

No mistakes occurred.

The two of them came so hard that everyone was confused.

It won’t work without reception.

When I saw Xie Kai, I realized that Xie Kai was slapping on something again.

The faces of the group were even more weird.

But nothing can be said.

In the test airport, there are a large number of Super-7A and Super-7B test flights before delivery, and the J-7 that is still improving is also indispensable.

Xie Kai has never paid attention to how far this aircraft has developed.

In the future, maybe Super-7B will be replaced, maybe not.

What is specific, that is what the military leaders consider.

"Chief, let's go directly to the conference room?" Xiong Hongyuan asked Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan.

The two shook their heads, Xie Kai was on the side, and said directly: "Go to the scene directly and report on the scene."

The group went straight to the production workshop next to them.

The newly built production workshop of 132 is filled with super-7A, and a small number of super-7Bs are all RD-33 engines from the Soviet Union.

Using pulsating production lines, the production efficiency of these fighter jets has been greatly improved.

In the huge factory, there are two rows of fighter jets in each position, and the degree of complete assembly is different.

This production method also effectively controls the production quality of Factory 132.

Looking at the neatly arranged fighter jets, unfortunately none of them were provided to the domestic air force, and both Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan were also complicated.

"These are all foreign trade versions of the Super-7, right?" Long Yaohua asked knowingly.

"Chief, the two Super-7Bs in the innermost part are self-used versions and will be assembled soon. The avionics and radar detection distances of these two aircraft have been greatly improved, but the power system still limits performance..." Cui Yuanjia, chief engineer in charge of Super-7, introduced, "At present, the main problem of domestic turbofan-6 engines is that their service life is not long, the starting and overloading time is too short, and the cumulative overloading time is not long..."

"Is it still a material problem?" Li Mingshan walked around the two Super-7Bs, and his body shape was even much larger than the Super-7Bs with appearance.

Both candles have larger triangular wings. In terms of the pneumatic appearance of the self-used model, there are more angular lines than the smooth transition of the export version.

This is the new model of Super-7.

Neither Long Yaohua nor Li Mingshan have seen such a design before.

"This is different from before. Is this aerodynamic layout improvement a bit big?" Li Mingshan asked directly, "The previous settings are not fixed."

The previous Super-7 B has never been designed and finalized.

It will continue to make major changes when the shape is not finalized, and it will be difficult to recover the previous investment funds.

"Chief, this is the invisible part. Using such an object, the radar reflection cross-section will be reduced by more than 50%. "When Huo Haiyuan saw Xie Kai wink at him and did not hide it, he directly explained their intentions.

Stealth fighter jets are their pursuit.

"Stealth Fighter?" Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan looked at Xie Kai.

Finally, I understood the reason why Xie Kai asked them to transfer the stealth fighter to develop.

They have already done it first, and they have to object, and it seems that they have little effect.

"Not counting stealth fighter, our goal is to have advanced third-generation fighter jets with some stealth performance. Domestic heavy fighter jets include the Su-27, and light fighter jets have No. 10 Project. If Super-7 is used in China, its positioning will be very embarrassing." Xie Kai spoke.

Over-7 has never considered domestic use since the project was launched.

Everyone knows this.

Otherwise, so many have been sold so far, the Air Force has not equipped one, only the Blue Army has equipped 12 for testing.

The J-10 will be the main force of the Air Force in the future. As long as the Su-27 solves chondrosis and is equipped with domestic avionics systems and radar systems that meet the needs of use, it will have great prospects.

The dual-engine Super-7 is a medium-sized aircraft. At the beginning, it was positioned as a senior coach and light fighter.

Even if used in China, Xie Kai's positioning is a trainer aircraft, not a fighter aircraft used for combat.

Unless double-shot.

With the double-engine, Xie Kai also has an idea, that is, the carrier-based fighter jet.

For carrier-based fighter jets, the J-15, which is based on the Su-33, is integrated with the J-11B, is advanced enough, but some tasks are not suitable, and it is difficult to take off with full fuel and bounce, and the combat performance has been greatly affected.

Super-7 B, the final positioning is the stealth joint attack aircraft of the F-35B with short range/vertical take-off and landing.

The reason why we only give a direction for improvement rather than a clear position from the beginning is that Xie Kai understands the big guys’ ideas. If he really does this, he will be blocked a lot.

The technology is too difficult, the funding needs are too much, and even the occupation of manpower and material resources must be considered.

It is strange that there is support.

It is very technically difficult to use the J-20 on an aircraft carrier; while the J-31 thing doesn’t work much when it is on an aircraft carrier, and its performance is too poor.

Not all fighters with only one stealth shell can be regarded as stealth fighters.

A fighter that is expensive and has poor performance is not very useful.

There is another reason why Xie Kai pushed the Super-7 project to develop in this direction - the profit of 404 is too high, and no matter how much money is left, it is useless. It is better to use it for technology.

Many technologies, which are related to national defense, can also be invested in civilian fields and exchanged for large amounts of funds.

"Aren't you positioned it as a carrier-based aircraft? Are Thailand's aircraft carriers talking about purchasing Super-7A?"

Long Yaohua didn't understand what Xie Kai meant.

Many times they can't figure out what the management of Hongqi Group is thinking.

The Air Force showed interest in the Super-7, but they did not sell it, and even created the Super-7 B, which is its own model.

Now that the model has not been finalized, it has been improved.

"Carbon-based aircraft is only part of it. Technology is constantly developing. What we consider now may not be able to adapt to future development..."

Xiong Hongyuan and others frowned.

Should the superior leader come to inspect the work, or only understand the situation of the projects under Hongqi Group?

"Chief, the No. 10 project is progressing very quickly, and the prototype has been assembled..." Secretary Li Wenzheng reminded the leader that he should not be too biased.

Project No. 10, this is funded by the state.

Xie Kai, Huo Haiyuan and others did not stop him.

The earlier the prototype of the J-10 is produced, the faster the performance will be improved in the future.

The aviation R&D units under Hongqi Group also need better supporting facilities with a technical foundation.

"Xie Kai, has there been any changes in our project?" Huo Haiyuan saw Xiong Hongyuan and others introducing the situation to the two big shots, secretly fell behind and asked Xie Kai.

Since the project was established, these projects have changed too much.

As the chief designer, Huo Haiyuan didn't know their future goals and directions, so he could only keep improving.

"There is no change, the subsequent project may be handed over to the Air Force."

"Leave it to the Air Force? The Air Force has no funds now..." Huo Haiyuan didn't understand even more, "When the project is discontinued, the previous work will be in vain."

"We send out funds and give them management to the military. They can provide more technical personnel and integrate resources more effectively." Xie Kai briefly said the purpose.

Huo Haiyuan did not object. If the military led the shortage of people in the development of their projects would be easily solved.

404 To solve the employment needs, we can only poach people from all systems across the country.

Now the above has made it clear that no one is allowed to poach people.

Young people who have just graduated from university have no experience and need to be trained first, and the training time is also very long. Even if a large number of graduates enter their 404 scientific research institutions every year, they cannot keep up with their development at all. The more they develop, the more serious the shortage is.

Many people do not have long to graduate and will take on some jobs independently.

Instead, it has led to a slowdown in technological development.

"Will the military agree? This has never been achieved." Huo Haiyuan was a little worried.
