Chapter 1172 Mountain Eagle
That day, Lin Hao was reading a newspaper in his office, and before he knew it, it was the end of June.

He finally saw the long-anticipated news in the newspaper: the fight had already started.

(I won't write about the reasons in between, maybe it's because of the ban by the government. I should have written four or five chapters about the land battle of the Korean War, but now I don't plan to write about it in detail. Basically, I will skip it in summary. However, there should be no problem writing about the air battle. As for how much I can write, it depends on the situation.)
What's more, the elder brother beat his younger brother so badly that his mother couldn't recognize him.

However, Lin Hao knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the American Empire would be the next to go, and after it went, it would beat the Northerners upside down.

At this time, the Air Force will visit aircraft manufacturing plants and training schools.

So Lin Hao accompanied him and introduced the specific situation.

Half a year ago, Lin Hao was considering the situation that would be faced in future wars. In addition to purchasing surplus supplies from the United States through foreign channels, he also transported back a large amount of war supplies.

战斗机有P51野马、P47雷电,轰炸机有B-17飞行堡垒、B-24解放者、B-25米切尔中型轰炸机。

There is also the B-29 long-range strategic bomber. This thing has nuclear bombing capabilities, so it did not appear in the post-war surplus material market. However, Lin Hao managed to get ten B-29s through a little tricks.

There are also 50 twin-engine C-47 Dakota and 30 four-engine C-54 Skimat military transport aircraft.

Among them, the C-54 has great potential for upgrading and transformation. Many versions will appear in the future, such as the president's special plane, cargo plane, and passenger plane that can carry up to 50 people.

After Lin Hao transported these things back to China, in order to share the risk and avoid being taken away by one person at a time, he opened corresponding production and training schools in several provinces in the central and western regions.

The Shenyang Engine Factory and the Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which are closest to the front line, began to localize the P51 fighter.

However, Lin Hao and the Air Force did not go to the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant this time, but to Chengdu in the southwest.

Because there is a groundbreaking fighter jet research and development and manufacturing center here, the J-5 jet fighter.

Of course, this J-5 is not the MiG-17 imported from the Russians, but the Mountain Eagle fighter "developed" by Lin Hao.

You should know what kind of fighter jet this is just by looking at the name.

That’s right, it is the FTC-7G “Mountain Eagle”, which is said to be one of the ultimate modified versions of J2000 in the future.

However, given the current domestic industrial level, it is obviously impossible to develop such an excellent fighter.

So Lin Hao recruited aircraft design talents from West Germany through the World Development Bank, and also used teleportation to come to the United States, using his skills to recruit a large number of aircraft design talents.

Lin Hao provided the appearance drawings of the "Mountain Eagle" and asked them to use the current technology to develop it.

After four months of hard work, the prototype of the "Mountain Eagle" was finally manufactured. After another two months of testing and improvements, the replica of the "Mountain Eagle" was finally completed.

He then asked them to draw up a list of equipment for manufacturing the aircraft, and Lin Hao arranged to purchase several sets of corresponding equipment, including a 4.5-ton die-forging hydraulic press.

This thing can be used to manufacture the titanium alloy bulkheads of the F-22 fighter jet. It can also be used to manufacture the landing gear, fuselage frame, and engine compartment bulkheads of the Mountain Eagle.

For example, the traditional welding of landing gear takes 2 months to manufacture, but using a hydraulic press, it only takes 3.5 minutes.

Lin Hao then used his skills to erase the memories of those designers who were too famous. In order to prevent future troubles, he even used gene modulation to make them contract cancer.

There is no other way. These people are too famous within the United States. If they are taken away, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

Although their memories have been erased, if they were to devote themselves to the research and development of fighter jets, they might get countless inspirations from the appearance of the Mountain Eagle. Rather than letting them aid the enemy in the future, it is better to let them go to meet God quietly.

Another benefit is to delay the development of their fighter jets and allow the "Mountain Eagle" to maintain its advantage for a longer period of time, although the effect is not great.

After all, the loss of a few outstanding talents in a country's system will not have much impact on a country with a huge amount of talent.

Then Lin Hao took away those talents who were capable but not valued, or those who had always been on the edge of the core, or those capable but not famous designers.

After bringing them back to China, Lin Hao taught the people there how to design and manufacture aircraft. This research and development and manufacturing base was located in the vicinity of Chengdu.

The R&D and manufacturing center at this time had grown rapidly from more than 1950 people when it was first established in 500 to more than 6000 people in just half a year.

Under the joint coordination of various departments and heavy industry ministries, a large number of key workers and technical personnel were transferred from industrial cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Tianjin to support the aircraft manufacturing plant.

More than 500 aviation factory technicians and engineers recruited from West Germany and other countries also arrived at the factory one after another and participated in the layout of the production line.

In order to put this R&D and manufacturing center into use as soon as possible, the workers and engineers were given the best treatment, which was better than that of administrative personnel such as the factory director. The workers were required to maintain an 8-hour work system, and a factory dormitory area was built so that every worker and engineer had a house to live in.

For this purpose, supporting kindergartens, primary schools, etc. were specially built in the factory, so that workers and engineers can eliminate all worries other than work.

When the Air Force and Lin Hao arrived at the Chengdu R&D and manufacturing center, no one was there to greet them at the door because the production line needed to be put into mass production as soon as possible.

And in the open space outside the aircraft manufacturing plant, nine J-9 jet fighters are parked.

Then Lin Hao introduced:

"Although there are 6 J-5 jet fighters here, only 2 of them were produced in our Rongcheng base!"

"Oh, only two?" Looking at the nine beautiful fighters in front of them, the air force personnel drooled, and then asked with an uncertain tone:

"Then the other four should be the ones you developed and produced in the United States!"

"Yes!" Lin Hao nodded and explained:

"One is a technology verification aircraft, one is a prototype, one is an engineering prototype, and the last one is a model that has entered design freeze and can be mass-produced."

"To put it simply, the two aircraft manufactured by the Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant are the mass-produced J-5s, which are the models that can directly fly into the sky and fight."

"But I heard from the technicians that these aircraft still have some minor problems, so in the past month, the manufacturer's technicians and engineers have been concentrating on technical research."

The air force personnel couldn't take their eyes off these beautiful fighter planes. When they heard that the planes still had problems, they immediately asked the factory director:
"How is the progress of your new aircraft's test flight? What's the problem?" "This is it!" The factory director hurriedly explained:
"After a long period of operation, we found that the engine life of the new aircraft was only 1,200 hours, and some engines barely reached 1,000 hours!"

"According to technical parameters, the engine life should be at least 4000 hours, so we are now trying to find a way to publicize this technical problem?"

"Uh, you guys~!" The Air Force was conflicted when they heard this and didn't know what to say.

You know, the flight life of the MiG-15 is only 200 hours. In their opinion, one thousand hours is more than enough.

However, they are not outsiders and naturally know how much an engine with a lifespan of 4000 hours can improve combat effectiveness and how much money it can save for the country.

However, since the engine life exceeds one thousand hours, which means it can be put into mass production at any time, I instantly felt relieved.

So he nodded in agreement and said, "Look at my hair, look!"

The factory director looked at the people from the Air Force in confusion, wondering what the meaning was.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "What he meant is that he is very anxious now. He is so anxious that his hair has turned a lot white recently."

A group of people walked into the workshop. At that time, there were at least 10 J-5 fighter jets lined up in a row on the production line, and the workers were working intensively.

The air force stopped and said with emotion:

"We can't always count on overseas support. Xiaolin said last time that overseas support might suddenly stop. No one knows when the overseas channels will suddenly stop!"

"Especially for the planes that Xiaolin brought back, we don't have the corresponding technology and manufacturing capabilities. If there is a problem with the plane one day, we won't even have spare parts to replace it!"

"So I'm in a hurry. We must be able to produce our own fighter jets so that we won't be strangled by others!"

The factory director took a deep breath and said firmly:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin has provided a full set of technical drawings and equipment, and even brought people back with him, so in two months at most, the J-5 produced by our factory can be delivered to the Air Force."

Lin Hao smiled and nodded and said, "The Air Force is waiting for you to say this!"

The Air Force leader smiled when he heard this. He saw the wing of the J-5 fighter jet parked in the workshop and asked:

"This aircraft has a really beautiful appearance, completely different from the MiG-15. But why are there knife-like strips protruding in front of the wings? What is their use?"

"That's called a large wing strip. It can quickly increase lift and effectively cut the turning radius..."

Then Lin Hao explained what the large wing strips, double delta wings, and the functions of the DSI air inlet are.

You know, the combination of double delta wings + large side strips + DSI air inlets almost covers the technical direction of future aircraft.

The head of the Hornet, the high cockpit of the F-5E, the DSI air inlet of the F-35, and the double delta wing of the J-7E.

Of course, it is definitely not an exact copy, but rather they are drawing on its theory and applying it to their own aircraft.

Therefore, the combat capability of the Mountain Eagle is much stronger than that of the current F35 Sabre and MiG-86 with 15° swept wings.

The maximum speed of the Mountain Eagle is 1.5 Mach, while the F86 Sabre and MiG-15 are subsonic at 0.92 Mach.

The flight altitudes are similar. The Mountain Eagle's flight altitude is 15000 meters, the F86 Sabre's is 14900 meters, and the MiG-15's is 15500 meters, with little difference.

The Mountain Eagle only needs to taxi 500 meters for takeoff and landing, and 700 meters for landing, while the F86 Sabre and MiG-15 both have runways of more than one thousand meters.

山鹰最大载弹量3吨(7-9个挂点),F-86仅仅只有0.9吨(火箭/炸弹),米格-15更是只有0.5吨(机炮为主)

Of course, due to the limitations of current manufacturing technology and avionics levels, especially the lack of chips and integrated circuits, the "Mountain Eagle" without advanced avionics cannot launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the two for the time being.

However, with the "Mountain Eagle"'s excellent aerodynamic performance and powerful power, even with the avionics level of the 50s, without the use of modern guided munitions, relying on unguided bombs/rocket nests for ground attacks, and only using machine guns in air combat, it is enough to crush the F-86 and MiG-15.

However, Lin Hao knew that polysilicon had already been produced in 47, so Lin Hao was also preparing to manufacture integrated circuit boards and chips.

By then, the avionics level of the Mountain Eagle will be greatly improved. With chips and integrated circuits, air-to-air missiles will also come into being.

At that time, we only need to upgrade the Mountain Eagle's avionics and install air-to-air missiles, which will definitely increase the Mountain Eagle's combat effectiveness and form a dimensionality reduction attack on other jet fighters.

As for the current Mountain Eagle's head, Lin Hao still manually made a radar rangefinder and installed it on his own exclusive fighter.

Therefore, it is equipped with two 23mm double-barreled machine guns, each with 1800 rounds of ammunition.

After introducing the performance of the J-5 fighter jet for a while, the air force personnel didn't even have time to eat, and reappeared at the Air Force Third Aviation School like a whirlwind.

Also without saying hello to anyone, he rushed into the school with his secretary and Lin Hao and a group of three.

In the huge classroom, instructors are giving classes to a group of air force commanders of the Chinese Air Force. These are commanders, not pilots. They are the future air force commanders.

"You must understand that a well-trained fighter pilot, flying a fighter in the air, searching for targets with his eyes, can only search at a maximum distance of about 25-30 kilometers!"

"This was achieved in the air with the best visibility. In fact, in a real war, due to the pilots' nervousness and poor visibility in the air, it is difficult for fighter pilots to spot enemy aircraft targets 20 kilometers away."

"Then, this requires our ground commanders to play their best role. What do our ground air force commanders have? Who can answer me? That's right, it's the ground radar system!"

"Our ground-based air defense warning radar system can detect enemy aircraft 300 to 500 kilometers away, and can detect the type, flight altitude, speed, etc. of enemy aircraft."

"Then the ground commanders' mastery of the air battlefield far exceeds that of the air pilots!"

"So the role of our ground commanders is to guide our fighter pilots to the air to intercept the enemy's attacking aircraft, or to give early warning to our military aircraft patrolling in the air."

"Based on this, ground commanders can choose the most appropriate time and the most appropriate airspace to command our fighter fleet into battle...!"
