918 Air Force Wants to Buy Super-7A? No!
"this……"
Xie Kai found it incredible. Although f-16/79 is trash, it won’t be like this if you play a dog fight, right?
Don’t say that Americans themselves don’t believe it, Xie Kai will definitely not believe it.
"Do they think it's impossible to sell fighter jets to us and are preparing to sell ejection systems to China?" Xie Kai looked at the cockpit that had been successfully ejected from a distance, and suddenly such a strange idea came out.
The ground crew not far away was dragging fire extinguishing equipment towards the fighter plane that exploded in the distance and burned a raging fire. The fire truck parked at the airport also went quickly.
Everything happened so quickly that almost no one understood what was going on.
Several fighter jets in the air obviously discovered this situation. The experienced Thunderbird Performance Team had a few remaining fighters who quickly raised their heights, stopped fighting, and even began to prepare for landing.
what happened?
Only the pilot involved knew best with Kamal, who was teaming with him.
Just now, in order to show the maneuverability of f-16/79, they played dog fight, and used the red tactics to double aircraft. At the moment when they were about to come into contact, the fighter jet driven by Kamal flew away to both sides and crossed behind the two fighter jets to prepare to exchange targets. At the moment when they crossed, the pilot of the falling fighter jet forgot to fly the f-16/79. The driving habit he developed for many years made him instinctively operate according to the standard f-16... There was insufficient thrust, and more than a ton of heat shields were added to the tail. The fighter jet speed was too low and entered a stall state...
At a low altitude of two or three hundred meters, the fighter's plane stalled and it was almost impossible to control its attitude and regain power.
So, the fighter plane had to fall like this.
The cockpit of the standard f-16 is not much different from the f-16/79, but because f-16/79 is a reduced-provision version, it does not have the high degree of automation as the f-16.
As the first fighter in the United States that can withstand 9g overload maneuvers, its safety performance is naturally very high. Especially for some edge systems, a forced intervention alarm system is set up in the fighter control system, such as limiting the pilot to fly out of an excessive elevation angle. Unless the limit is lifted or the pilot still forces the operator to operate after the fighter system alarms, human failure will occur.
Mechanical failure?
That is impossible. As a fighter jet in the performance team, each F-16 is equipped with a ground crew, and all the pilots in it are from the most skilled personnel from the US Air Force or Navy aviation forces. Once there is a problem, it will be solved immediately. If it cannot be solved quickly, the spare aircraft will be replaced.
So, the end of the crash of the F-16/79 during the performance was because the pilot was not very familiar with this type of garbage fighter that was named F-16, which was actually another fighter...
People in the audience had to believe that this was the fact when they saw fire trucks starting to put out fires in the distance.
The American fighter plane fell during the performance.
"If it is a standard f-16, such an accident should not have occurred." Xie Kai sighed.
Logically, the American fighter plane fell during the performance, and he should be happy.
Now he is not happy at all.
Things are getting big.
If it weren't for their excessive pressure, Americans wouldn't have played like this, right?
Or, Xie Kai felt that he had not seen the lack of thrust like F-16/79 and the aerodynamic layout and lift was not as large as the canard to force the cobra maneuver?
The excitement on American faces can be imagined.
It was originally intended to give the leaders of the Chinese Air Force a long experience and let them accept this "excellent" fighter jet to become the main equipment of the Chinese Air Force.
Now, the leaders of the Chinese Air Force have indeed gained insight and witnessed the fall of such fighter jets.
When a plane crash occurs, the performance will naturally be stopped. The audience will evacuate, and there will be no activity such as the pilot taking photos and signing the audience after the Thunderbird Flying Team.
"Chief, as the boy 404 said, this kind of fighter is indeed garbage and its maneuverability is not very good." Commander Wang saw that Capers and others hurriedly left, and did not ask them to accompany him, and said to Minister Zhang.
Minister Zhang saw his expression and knew what he wanted to do, "Do you want to be more than -7a?"
"The maneuverability of the fighter jet is really good. Although the range is almost the same, it can be used to train our elite pilots." Commander Wang smiled. "I heard that this thing is not expensive. It is only 10 million US dollars for a sold aircraft to the Egyptians. We can use it ourselves. According to their habits, it is only 10 million yuan, and at most 10 million..."
"I said that I won't sell it to the Air Force." Minister Zhang reminded with a smile, "When I looked for you, you didn't even look at me."
"Who knew that there was such excellent maneuverability at the beginning. The Air Force had little funding and every penny had to be used." Commander Wang didn't feel embarrassed at all.
It's not their fault.
Whoever makes the national funding so much every year, supporting millions of troops and many military-industrial units has no money to update equipment at all.
I have never accepted Americans' promotions, and I don't want the F-16/79 they sell. At the beginning, it was not because of the performance of this fighter, but because of the lack of money!
Later, the Americans did not give up and continued to promote it. They learned a lot. With the performance comparison of the standard F-16, they found that the F-16/79 equipped with a turbojet engine was indeed not very good, and it was about the same level as the domestic J-8ii.
There is the same thing in China, who has to spend a high price to import, who is so stupid?
"It's useless to find 404 people. Those old guys wish we could all beg them. They had been making trouble for a lot of time when they evacuated the scientific research unit of 404." He turned his head and looked at Zheng Yucheng and others who were bragging about their Super-7a and were boasting to the aircraft designers of several other units. General Zhang sighed.
Commander Wang naturally understood the inside story.
Originally, the Air Force also had scientific research units at 404, and the Air Force was the first to evacuate.
"Then we have to find them too." In order for the Air Force to have good fighter jets, Commander Wang felt that even if he heard that old guy Zheng Yucheng was so proud, he had to talk to them.
"No, you look for their kid. Those old guys listen to him." General Zhang turned his head to search for Xie Kai's figure and found that the kid had already run to the parking spot next to him.
With a finger, Commander Wang hurried over.
They all knew about Xie Kai, but in order not to let the young man hang up, their superiors did not interfere too much in order to prevent the young man from raising his tail.
Otherwise, the old man would have met this kid.
In just two or three years, more than 20 billion US dollars were raised for the military industry system, and the country’s foreign exchange surplus was not so much in a year!
Xie Kai did not stay at the airport for too long. He was afraid that General Zhang would settle the score with him, so he secretly prepared to leave.
Before he got on the bus, he was stopped by Commander Wang.
"You want to leave like this?" Commander Wang looked at Xie Kai with a smile.
Xie Kai hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Chief, I'm so anxious, I'm going to the bathroom."
"There is no toilet at the airport?" Commander Wang looked at Xie Kai with a look of contempt. "What you caused was forced to throw the plane. I couldn't hold on to my face, so I just wanted to leave quietly?"
Hearing this, Xie Kai was immediately dissatisfied, "Chief, how can the Americans blame us for falling into the plane themselves? They don't know how their own fighter jets perform?"
f-16/79 is originally garbage.
"Besides, the performance is not good, I don't admit it yet. What's the point? Anyway, they are really a garbage fighter with a powerful reduction in equipment. In order to limit performance, they also installed more than one ton of heat shields at the rear of the aircraft. The entire fighter weighs only a few tons..." After Xie Kai said that it was wrong, he didn't need to explain. He looked at Commander Wang looking forward to him and continued to say, and immediately knew his purpose, "Chief, please give me any instructions!"
The Air Force Commander is looking for him, surely it is not to help the Americans stand up, right?
Not to mention that Xie Kai made the American fighter plane crash, even if he got rid of it, there was no evidence, his superiors would not cause trouble for him.
"There is no order, and there is no point in the instructions. I heard that from the beginning, you said that your Super-7a will not be sold to the Air Force?" Commander Wang's tone was a little angry.
Even though his face was still full of smiles.
It's true.
The Air Force wants to exceed -7a.
From the beginning, Xie Kai never thought of providing fighter jets like the Super-7a to the Air Force to squeeze out the air force’s insufficient funds.
Whether it is the J-7 or J-8, although it is already behind, the production units need the Air Force orders to upgrade the fighter production line, improve the design to accumulate design experience and train the team.
"Chief, when the research and development was first launched, he passed the unanimous vote and did not sell it to the Air Force." Xie Kai nodded and admitted.
Commander Wang didn't expect Xie Kai to hide it at all.
Not in line with the style.
Xie Kai's direct answer made Commander Wang unable to express his prepared words.
"Why? I think the Air Force is poor and I don't have money to give it to you?" Commander Wang was a little angry.
It is understandable that foreign equipment suppliers dislike it.
Domestic military systems refuse to sell fighter jets to the Air Force for such reasons. Who can not be angry?
Seeing Commander Wang getting angry, Xie Kai hurriedly explained, "Chief, don't be angry, listen to my explanation. I won't sell it to the Air Force Super-7a because this fighter was originally created for export. From the initial positioning, it determined that this fighter has little potential for improvement... Although the J-7 and J-8 are behind, they are mature domestic main equipment. Although the Super-7a performs very well, there are still many defects..."
Anyway, he is not an outsider.
A simple light fighter like Super-7a can only be used as a high-level trainer.
As a senior trainer plane sold to the Air Force, Xie Kai felt it was a bit too much.
The Super-7b, which has a similar aerodynamic layout and stronger performance, is prepared for the Air Force.
The troops of your own country must use better ones.
