"The layout of the canard wings in the front is a verification of the aerodynamic appearance of Project 10." Huo Haiyuan answered with some concern.

The Super-7a itself undertakes some technical verification of the No. 10 Project. Although it is an advanced trainer, it is given in the later market positioning. This itself is actually a fighter.

However, for fighters, the Super-7a has a very small bomb load, and it is not as good as other light fighters.

As a senior trainer, you are competent enough.

"The air intake is also a J-10 technical verification aircraft?" Xie Kai asked.

The tails are all large triangular wing layouts. The J-10 without a differential tail wing will make people feel that it is not the J-10.

This is also impossible. The J-10 fighter jet, the first self-designed J-10 fighter in China, left a deep impression on Xie Kai.

That's the real J-10, the pillar fighter of the Chinese Air Force. Xie Kai doesn't want his appearance to make the J-10 a fighter that he is familiar with in his memory.

"Yes. The J-9 scheme adopted at the tail performed well during the test flight. It was only used for air combat, which was much higher than the J-7. The only bad thing is that the combat radius is only 500 kilometers, and the air stagnation time is too short." Huo Haiyuan introduced.

There is only one here. Xie Kai looked around this fighter plane that he thought was not serious for several times. No matter how he looked, he felt strange. Especially the canard wings to the large triangular wings at the back, with flaps connected in the middle, which looked like a whole.

There are a lot of bulges in the flap part.

There is also a big gap with the 3D model diagram of the final J-9 plan I once saw online.

"Let's go to the production workshop to have a look." Xie Kai suggested.

He knew that the rd-33 engine consumed a lot of fuel.

The MiG-29 equipped with two such engines has relatively outstanding performance, but the range is too short and the combat radius is too small, making this fighter called the Short-legged King.

Huo Haiyuan is naturally not impossible. This one here is only used for static pressure tests.

Now that the funds are sufficient, the R&D speed is naturally much faster while improving the design plan.

What's more, the J-9 had already built a prototype.

When Xie Kai followed Huo Haiyuan to the assembly workshop, there were several types of fighter jets in the entire workshop.

The newly-detached five I saw before could no longer see where they went, and they were probably on a test flight.

Unlike last time, the workshop was densely packed with fighter jets, and the production tasks looked very saturated.

The J-6, J-7, and Super-7a can all be seen in the same assembly workshop.

"Isn't the J-6 discontinued? Why is it still in production?" Xie Kai was puzzled.

He didn't expect that he could see the J-6 Master in the workshop now. It is impossible for the country to produce it, right?

"Isn't this your order? I'll ask for a batch of retired J-6s to upgrade their combat capabilities." Xiong Hongyuan walked over from the side, waiting for Xie Kai and the others here, "The modification work is not easy."

"Our?" Xie Kai asked Wang Guilin.

He really doesn't know.

It is indeed not a problem to transform into a drone.

But this cost is too high, and the performance will not increase too much, and the performance will even be reduced due to the increase in the previous electronic equipment.

"On the other side of Tanzania," Wang Guilin said, "it mainly increases the ability to attack the ground."

"I'm buying it there, what do they want to do?" Xie Kai was even more confused. Liao Dong had never mentioned this to him.

"You are thinking too much. Tanzanian government procurement is used to supplement the air force. Although it is behind in other places, it is still relatively advanced in Africa," Wang Guilin explained.

Xie Kai was too lazy to care about these things.

When he first promoted these weapons, he introduced that he mainly used the J-6 to seize air supremacy, and the strong five licked the ground, but the fifth master was old and didn't carry enough ammunition.

"Where is the new batch of Super-7a?" Xie Kai did not pay much attention to the transformation of J-Liuye.

After all, the cost of changing to a drone is still too high. It is too expensive to use for target shooting, especially the Air Force, which is now unbearable.

"The 4 aircraft are almost completed, and only some of the instruments inside are not installed." Xiong Hongyuan took the lead and walked towards the workshop.

Next to it is the model workshop. A year ago, when Xie Kai came here, the Super-7a was still kept secret in the workshop next door, and now it has been produced at the same time as the J-7 and other models.

The four are longer and much taller than the J-7 next to them, and the wings are even larger. The fuselage gives people a slender feeling, and the Super-7a looks much taller.

"One aircraft doesn't look good, and it looks much more comfortable when it is placed together." Xie Kai said, "but this thing is still a little behind."

"As a senior trainer, it's not a bad thing." Xiong Hongyuan comforted Xie Kai, "As long as it is suitable for use, it is the most suitable."

Xie Kai didn't say much.

Listening to their introduction, after learning about the Thunder-1 air-to-air missiles, which were mainly equipped by these light fighters, which were transformed from avant-garde air defense missiles, Xie Kai didn't know what to say.

"Do you have ground attack capabilities?"

"You can load two 500 kilogram bombs or 4 250-type aviation bombs..." Huo Haiyuan introduced, "The current bomb load can reach 1,600 kilograms."

"No, not bad, much stronger than J-6 Master's 500 kilograms." Xie Kai nodded, "Even if he is J-7 Master, he is much stronger."

Xie Kai could only comfort himself in this way.

Compared with the real JF-11, the weapon carrying ability of the Super-7a is extremely weak.

You should know that the external plug-in capacity of the JF-1 can reach 3.6 tons, and the internal aviation artillery shells have an ammunition load of more than 3.8 tons.

"If we change the aerodynamic layout and replace it with lighter parts in terms of materials, the blast load can be greatly improved, and the performance can also be increased..." Huo Haiyuan heard something wrong in Xie Kai's words.

It’s not that we don’t work hard.

"The cost will increase a lot, right?" Wang Guilin asked.

Huo Haiyuan nodded busyly.

"Training machine, that's it. If you expect this thing to fight, it would be very lingering." Wang Guilin sighed.

Super-7a was originally an emergency plan.

Anyway, 80 of them have been sold now, and with the investment from Pakistanis, you won’t lose money no matter how you calculate it.

"Where is the Super-7b?" Xie Kai also knew that it would be very good to have such a result in a short period of time. If the J-9 had not been in operation for so many years and some of the technologies of the No. 10 Project were also used, it would have been impossible to enter the small-batch trial production process in just two years since the project was established.

"The prototype used for static pressure test next to it is being assembled and has undergone great changes," said Huo Haiyuan.

"That's the top technology achievement of our two companies. Xie Kai, you'll probably not move your eyes when you look at it!" Xiong Hongyuan said proudly, "This will be better than any domestic fighter jet. As long as the avionics keep up, it's even better than the J-82."

Xie Kai looked at Xiong Hongyuan in surprise. What does the person in charge of 132 mean?

"Better than Project 10?"

"What do you mean? This is different from the 10 Project, and the path is different." Xiong Hongyuan was a little embarrassed, "You will know when you go and see it."

Xie Kai began to be curious.

He has seen the Super-7b model.

Has the aerodynamic layout of that thing been changed? Or has the functions been added?

Otherwise, where would Xiong Hongyuan get the confidence to say this!

It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t believe it, but that the domestic foundation is just like this, with less rich design experience and insufficient reserves for aerodynamic layout.

However, when he saw the new Super-7b prototype in front of him, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and couldn't help but exclaim, "J-20?"

"What J-20?"

Wang Guilin and others looked at Xie Kai in confusion.

Is this something so shocking?

"It's not the J-20." When Xie Kai carefully saw the appearance of the Super-7b, he shook his head in disappointment.

How could it be the J-20? The kind of fighter jet that has been created in China that has been working hard for a lot of effort to make the world-leading fighter, cannot appear in this era.

But the appearance is really similar.

Single-seat double-engine, fixed double-endent. Although the canard in front has made some changes, it is still very similar to the super-7a. The front canard in the back is still connected by side wings, so the rear triangle wing is not as unreasonable as the super-7a and is easily shot down.

Behind the main wing, a differential tail wing is actually used.

What made Xie Kai admit his mistake was not something else, but the design of the entire fighter jet was no longer the smooth transition of other fighter jets, but clear edges.

"Through our research, such an appearance design can effectively reduce the reflection cross-section of the radar waves." Huo Haiyuan knew the importance of Xie Kai's speech at 404.

Seeing Xie Kai staring at the Super-7b, he kept silent, and his expression changed, and he felt a little panicked.

They have changed too much about the design of this kind of fighter jet.

Especially the aerodynamic layout, at the beginning, no one thought it would happen. If you want to do it based on the J-9, you still have to take into account the technical verification of the No. 10 Project. The two design teams continued to discuss, modify, and test, and then it became like this.

404 As an investor, if you do not agree to such a plan, even if it is really excellent, you will eventually die and stop at the current level.

"Okay, very good!" Xie Kai was excited. "Is the canard in front a full-move design?"

"No." Huo Haiyuan's mouth cramps.

"Is the hanging tail behind fully moving? Is the edge strip between the wing and canard wing moving?" Xie Kai continued to ask.

Even though he knew this was impossible, he still had a trace of expectation in his heart. What if so?

After asking, he stared at Huo Haiyuan blankly, his face full of hope.

He hoped that Huo Haiyuan said, yes, although the technology is not as good as it can be achieved.

Huo Haiyuan was really anxious. Xie Kai was so excited that he lost his mind because of their random design modifications and the aerodynamic layout.

He could only look at Wang Guilin next to him for help.
