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

Chapter 568 How come it is as easy for others to make achievements as eating and drinking?

"If I were to give the FC-31 Falcon a tactical positioning, the role of this fighter in the military is equivalent to that of a 'defender'. It can not only score points on its own, but also coordinate and mobilize others to launch attacks together."

"So the biggest change in the No. 006 prototype is not to split it into two, the Air Force version and the Navy version, but to use a more advanced and more powerful avionics system to highlight the powerful collaborative combat capability of the Falcon."

In the ward.

Chief Engineer Zhao was in high spirits.

During this period, Jiang Chen was not the only one who was busy.

Even as the chief engineer, he was so tired that he could hardly hold on any longer.

Today is the last test flight.

Although the No. 005 aircraft was "seriously damaged", it successfully completed all the test flight missions and died peacefully.

The heavy burden on Chief Engineer Zhao's shoulders was finally lifted.

So the old man no longer looked as sad as he did some time ago, but became kind and benevolent.

Especially when facing the two younger generations, Jiang Chen and Gao Yingjun.

He also explained in detail his design concept of "Falcon" and even its various parameters.

Jiang Chen and Gao Yingjun are like two studious primary school students.

Listen very carefully.

Both of them are key training targets of the East China University of Technology Air Force and "future stars".

Therefore, in the context of the rapid development of Dongda's fifth-generation aircraft.

Both of them may even become fifth-generation aircraft pilots in a few years.

Don’t think that the FC-31 Falcon was rejected by the Air Force.

However, the Air Force did not completely close the door, nor did it completely deny this fifth-generation aircraft.

not to mention.

As fifth-generation aircraft developed by two aircraft research institutes of Southeast University, the "Feilong" and the J-20 Vily Dragon must have something in common.

Just like the MiG series and the Flanker series.

Therefore, it is a rare opportunity for both of them to receive the "guidance" from the deputy chief designer of the "Falcon" project.

It will be of great help to their chances of driving the fifth generation in the future.

Especially Gao Yingjun.

Because Chief Engineer Zhao has been giving Jiang Chen a lot of special treatment during this period.

This gave him a deeper understanding of the "fifth-generation aircraft".

But this is Gao Yingjun’s first time.

Therefore, Chief Engineer Zhao's "guidance" gave him a sense of enlightenment.

"When our designers design an aircraft with excellent performance, they will consider many factors at the beginning of the design, including aerodynamics, stealth and maneuverability, etc."

"These advanced designs not only improve the performance of the aircraft, but also make the aircraft look more streamlined and seamless. That's why there is a saying that 'a good-looking aircraft must have good performance'."

"But 'Falcon' is not only strong in appearance."

"You two must remember that the combat mode of the fifth-generation aircraft is completely different from that of previous fighters."

"Because the fifth-generation aircraft not only has the two characteristics of stealth and supersonic cruise, but also needs to have strong situational awareness capabilities, which requires the aircraft to have powerful and advanced radar systems, advanced electro-optical distributed aperture systems (EODAS) and electro-optical targeting systems (EOTS), etc."

“At the same time, it also needs to have good battlefield survivability, precise weapons and strike capabilities, data link communication capabilities and efficient command and control capabilities.”

"That is to say."

"The previous combat model was to train pilots to be highly skilled and brave fighters."

"It's like the 'fighting generals' on the ancient battlefields, riding on war horses to fight against enemy generals, and taking the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops is as easy as taking something out of a bag."

"But fifth-generation aircraft pilots are more like cavalry generals. Not only must they maintain their own 'bravery', but they must also have certain command capabilities."

"So are you commanding your own comrades or wingmen? No, but a large number of drones with stronger attack capabilities."
This is a theory of command and control.

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly understood.

Although Chief Engineer Zhao is not a pilot, he is not even a soldier.

But it does not mean that they do not understand military affairs, air combat skills and tactics.

How do they develop fighter jets?
in ancient times.

Those craftsmen who specialize in making weapons, which are deadly instruments, almost all have blood on their hands.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, do you think drones will dominate the skies in the future?" Gao Yingjun said with some worry. "I have actually been following the development of drones at home and abroad, and I have found that drones are becoming more and more versatile and widely used, whether in the civilian market or the military field."

"So I feel that it won't be long before pilots like us are replaced by drones."

Chief Engineer Zhao laughed and said, "Your worries are actually the same as factory workers' worries about being replaced by machines and all walks of life being replaced by artificial intelligence. It can't be said to be groundless worries, but it's pretty much the same."

"No matter how advanced drones are, they are still controlled by people. And as I just said, the main role of fifth-generation and even future sixth-generation drones may no longer be combat, but command."

"And you are no longer soldiers charging into battle, but commanders."

“So instead of worrying about whether you will be replaced, you might as well develop your command capabilities, especially the ability to command drone swarms.”

A thoughtful look appeared on Gao Yingjun's face.

He nodded slightly.

Chief Engineer Zhao turned his gaze towards Jiang Chen.

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Aircraft 005 was able to successfully complete all test flight projects, thanks to your dedication and help during this period."

"Especially yesterday, you not only lured those spies out, but also successfully forced the plane to land under such circumstances."

"Even if you are in a second- or third-tier unit, your performance is enough to win first-class individual merit."

"So I discussed with Captain Qin, and in the name of Shenfei and the test flight squadron, we applied to the Air Force Headquarters for a first-class individual merit for you."

"At the same time, Shen Fei will also give you generous material rewards, which will be deposited into your card in two days."

He saw Jiang Chen was about to speak.

He raised his hand.

He stopped him and said, "I know what you are worried about, because Cheng Ziang mentioned it before."

"So no honors or plaques will be sent to your family this time, but it will be recorded in detail in your file."

Jiang Chen was surprised to see that Chief Engineer Zhao had considered everything so thoroughly.

A touch of emotion appeared on his face.

"Thank you." He said seriously.

Gao Yingjun looked envious.

Tsk tsk.

Another first-class individual achievement.

How come for this kid, achieving merit is as easy as eating and drinking?

How long has it been?

I have received so many honors.

But he immediately let it go.

All his honors were earned at the cost of his life.

Although he had been in great danger a few days ago, the test flight team also applied for a second-class individual merit for him.

But my own level of danger is compared to others.

A small witch meets a big witch.

Totally incomparable.

Chief Engineer Zhao smiled and changed the subject, "The 'Falcon' project team will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Will you return to Fengtian with us, or stay for a while?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Yes.

It seems that it is indeed time to leave.
