You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 508: A fifth-generation aircraft without an internal bomb bay is a humiliation to the fifth-generation aircraft

Chief Engineer Zhao is like a patient elementary school teacher.

Not only was he friendly, but he also patiently explained to Jiang Chen all the details about the FC-31 Falcon fighter.

Jiang Chen is indeed a "primary school monk"

In front of this industry leader.

Jiang Chen's knowledge of fighter jets is probably not even that of an elementary school student.

However, on the one hand, the questions he asked almost hit the nail on the head, and on the other hand, Chief Engineer Zhao was very satisfied with his attitude of "not being ashamed to ask questions".

For example.

Jiang Chen would not have the 'naive' intention to ask Chief Engineer Zhao.

涡扇-15明明已经开始换装歼-20威龙了，为什么fc-31鹘鹰依然执着于涡扇-10和涡扇-13呢？
In fact, the reason is very simple.

The WS-15 is too big and cannot be stuffed in.

WS-15: Be patient?
FC-31 Falcon: No, it's so big, it will burst me
FC-31 Falcon: What? Forced?

FC-31 Falcon: Ah~Ah~Ah, it's going to break down~
How is it possible to cram two high-powered engines into a twin-engine medium-sized aircraft?

A mid-sized machine is always matched with a mid-thrust engine.

Only heavy machines can handle high thrust.

Don't say anything else.

For example, the intake flow rates of high thrust and medium thrust are completely different, so the intake duct diameters are also different.

Therefore, forcing a large engine into a medium-sized aircraft is not just a matter of not being able to fit it in. It is also a complete negation and subversion of the aircraft structure design.

not to mention.

Although the performance of the WS-15 has now matured, it still has an advantage of catching up with the WS-10.

But it does not mean that the WS-10 medium-thrust project will be abandoned.

Again.

Medium push and large push are two completely different tracks.

Maintaining the production matrix of medium-thrust engines is of great strategic significance to Dongda’s aviation industry, especially the aero-engine industry.

Americans have f414.
Europe has EJ200.
Tokyo University can't keep using the RD-93 that emits black smoke until the end of time.

A day in the cave means a thousand years in the world.

The permanent hangar is a semi-underground permanent building.

Similar to an artificial cave.

Therefore, when you are in the permanent hangar, you cannot feel the flow of time.

Although Jiang Chen had done enough research on the FC-31 Falcon before coming here, he still looked like a confused elementary school student after seeing the real thing.

Chief Engineer Zhao was also a good teacher today.

Explained to him very patiently.

Several other designers are still busy.

Cheng Ziang, Zhou Jianhua, and the staff of the Yaodongdong station stood aside bored.

Directly ignored.

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation has actually invested a lot in the FC-31 Falcon project."

Chief Engineer Zhao saw that Jiang Chen had finally asked all the questions and he had satisfied all his curiosity. He patted the fuselage with great emotion and continued, "You don't know that when the project was approved, the top management of AVIC put forward three requirements - good, fast, and cheap."

"How fast is the FC-31 Falcon? The preliminary design was completed in three months, and the structural parameters were completed in six months. The digital design of the entire aircraft was completed, and the prototype was assembled and rolled off the assembly line in one month, and the first flight was achieved in two years."

"To design and manufacture a fifth-generation aircraft in just two years, I don't know if it will be unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented."

"Although this aircraft has had a bad fate, it is generally not well received in the country."

"But looking at the world, the performance parameters of the FC-31 Falcon are very impressive."

"That is to say, apart from China and the United States, the FC-31 Falcon will be a major weapon in the air force of any country." "Look at the countries in the world that are currently developing fifth-generation aircraft. The Russian T-50 is a fraudulent project that defrauded India of its research and development funds. The Japanese 'Mind' and Turkey's 'Khan' are still in the PowerPoint stage. It is still unclear whether they can make their first flight in the future."

"Especially the Turkish 'Khan'."

"What aviation industry capabilities does Türkiye have? They can't even build fourth-generation aircraft, and they want to build fifth-generation aircraft? They can't build it. They don't have the ability to do it, you know!"

"Although the Japanese 'Shinshin' is a poor imitation of the F-35, I am still optimistic about it, after all, the Americans are helping it."
Jiang Chen shook his head as he listened to the sharp comments from the gray-haired old man.

If you could predict the future.

You will be surprised by your own mistakes in prediction.

The Japanese with the Americans behind them are no longer the 'Showa men' of decades ago, and their 'Auntie Amaterasu' is of no use anymore.

Although the industrial base is strong.

There is also technical support from Americans.

But the whole society is filled with sorrow and decadence.

Therefore, the "Mind" project that Chief Engineer Zhao once favored is and has remained in the PPT state.

On the contrary, Türkiye's 'Khan' even made its maiden flight successfully.

Although the project was shelved after the successful first flight.

But at least it has squeezed into the ranks of countries developing fifth-generation aircraft.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, what do you think of Korea's KF-21 project?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Chief Engineer Zhao sneered at first.

Then he said, "How to watch it? Sit down or lie down."

"A fifth-generation aircraft that doesn't even have an internal weapons bay and can't even meet the most basic stealth requirements is actually claimed to be a fifth-generation aircraft. This is the biggest humiliation to the 'fifth-generation aircraft'."

"So this aircraft is not worth mentioning, so let's not mention it!"

Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

He thought that although the Korean KF-21 was rubbish, it had at least successfully completed its first flight.

It's better than the Japanese devils' "mind".

I didn't expect that in the eyes of Chief Engineer Zhao.

KF-21 is not even as good as PPT.

Uh!
It seems true.

A fifth-generation aircraft that doesn’t even have an internal weapons bay.

It is indeed an insult to the fifth-generation aircraft.

"How is it? Do you understand it fully?" Chief Engineer Zhao looked at Jiang Chen and asked.

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It's okay."

"So are you ready for the first flight?" Chief Engineer Zhao asked again.

Others immediately cast curious glances at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all.

He blurted out, "You know me. I'm always in top shape. So as long as everything is confirmed on your end, I can fly today."

"Good boy." Chief Engineer Zhao said with a smile, "I like your decisive character."

"Then let's do it in three days." He said again.

Jiang Chen was a little surprised, "Why wait three more days?"

"On the one hand, the flight test team has to concentrate all its efforts on completing the flight test of the new equipment of the 606th Institute in the next few days. On the other hand, you also need to undergo a few days of adaptive training. It is said that the adaptive training for you is personally led by Captain Qin, so you will probably have to endure some hardships in the next few days!"
