Super Weapon Swap System

Plant 1132.

Time has entered winter. The whole winter in the land of abundance is cold and humid. At this time, it is still a hot production scene in plant 1132.

"Our current production task is very full." as he walked over, Tu introduced to the public: "our J-7 fighters are being produced in an orderly manner to meet the needs of users at home and abroad."

Although the J-7 fighter is already a low-grade fighter in front of the J-10 and J-11, after all, the price is low. Therefore, when the huge domestic J-6 fighter continues to retire, it still needs this kind of low-cost fighter to fill the vacancy. After all, the cost of the J-11 fighter is quite high, and it is impossible to replace it one by one.

In addition to their own domestic use, a considerable part of them were exported to the date country and became one of the main fighters for them to seize air control.

Gerhard and others followed. Looking at the fighter assembly on the production line, they felt that it was almost the same as their own workshop. Their management was also in good order, and the installation of each small screw was recorded.

"Come with me, everyone. The factory building on the other side is producing j-14 fighters." old Tu took the people and continued to walk to the factory building next door.

The J-7 fighter is still an out and out second-generation fighter, and when it comes to the j-14, it is a scene of a third-generation fighter.

Strip wing, wing body integration, chamfered delta wing, two rib air inlet, and the drum at the air inlet look more sci-fi.

"This is our j-14 fighter. Now there are many orders. Our factory implements three shifts, people rest, and the production line keeps producing this fighter."

There are already many export targets, and the production of fighters is also in full swing here. Due to the problem of engines, all the aircraft produced here are airframes. After arriving in the exporting country, insert the engines and you can fly.

After the last meeting, Hans made a report with them in China. When they came to see Qin Guan again, they asked to see the production line. Of course, Qin Guan agreed to these requirements without hesitation. He took them to plant 1132 and watched the production line assemble fighters here.

Qin Guan also had a sense of achievement. After several difficult births, the later Xiaolong was finally built. Unfortunately, it was too late. The threat around him was the fourth generation machine, and the number of Xiaolong finally sold was not much.

But now it's different. Most countries in the world are mainly second-generation aircraft. The market of this aircraft is too large. It's a pity that the engine is limited. When the engine problem is solved in the future, the market will be wider.

Hans people attach great importance to this fighter and keep staring at it on the production line.

The overall structure of this fighter is completely different from that of the J-7. It is a design concept of the third generation aircraft, such as the rear fuselage.

The rear fuselage of the J-7 is removed directly, and the engine can be removed. It is quite cumbersome. This j-14 fighter adopts a push back type, which directly inserts the engine from the back. Under field conditions, the engine replacement can be completed in more than ten minutes.

"Can we go in and have a look?" Gerhard couldn't help but want to go up and have a look when he saw that a fighter had almost completed its assembly.

"Yes, this aircraft is our ongoing test aircraft for new avionics. It may be different from others," Tu said aside.

SIA?

With this doubt, Gerhard went up. When he stepped on the ladder and climbed up, he was surprised to see the layout in the cabin: "there are actually three monitors in this?"

This was the first time he saw the modern fighter cockpit. Like the cockpit of later generations, the dense mechanical instruments on the dashboard were gone. There were two screens on the left and right sides, and one in the middle below. A total of three screens occupied the main display area.

It looks like science fiction. How is this possible? The development of Chinese people in electronic technology is too rapid, isn't it?

When the aircraft just appeared, there was no instrument. With the development of the aircraft, various instruments were slowly developed, such as horizon, which knew the status of the aircraft, such as compass, aircraft navigation, engine and so on.

The more the aircraft developed, the more instruments there were. Later, in the cockpit of the fighter, the instruments in front of the pilot were dense.

Therefore, pilots often have to look down at the instrument to find the data they need, which has a negative impact on the pilots' control of tactics and reduces the safety of low altitude flight.

In order to enable pilots to focus more on flight and combat, Eagle country first reformed and manufactured head up display. With the development of electronic computer, all kinds of data required are displayed on CRT display and projected onto the head up display in front.

This greatly improved the reliability of flight and became the standard configuration of Western fighters in the 1970s. Especially after integrating the machine gun hotline, it met the needs of pilots.

However, its display area is too small to display a large amount of data. For example, in the mid-1970s, a standard fighter had more than 100 cockpit instrument control devices, and many instructions and signals distracted the pilot's attention.

Eagle country then launched a research work on the display, trying to make up for the defects in the aircraft structure, hoping to integrate the flight and combat data, make it easier to understand the flight position map, and finally form a complete glass cockpit system.

The so-called "glass cockpit" is a modern display system in which all or most of the traditional instruments are replaced by computer display screens.

It is corresponding to the old-fashioned electronic and mechanical instrument equipment, which is composed of multiple different separate meters, each part is responsible for different functions.

The glass cockpit no longer adopts this multi equipment form, but only retains some backup or redundant tasks. Most of the panel is a computer screen, which graphically displays multiple options of the same group of instruments or similar instruments according to user needs. All these functions are integrated into the system to reduce the pilot's workload, including flight planning and weapon control. Therefore, the glass cockpit can be called a revolutionary innovation.

Now, the glass cockpit is under research in the West. The first modern glass cockpit fighter is the f-18a. This fighter entered service around 83. It is the initiator of the glass cockpit of modern fighters.

Who would have thought that at the end of 1981, Han's export-oriented j-14 fighters had been equipped with three large display screens, and only a few internal instruments were left!
