Chapter 805 Another Plan: J-1

At this time, the other group of people who were originally gathered nearby and drinking happily also discovered Chang Haonan who was chatting with Zhu Linyu in the corner.

"How is it, Comrade Haonan?"

Lin Zuoming walked over here first. His loud voice was recognizable enough even in the noise:

"Didn't you stay longer at the social gathering?"

"I heard Sister Shen from the group's labor union say that many old comrades with daughters have asked him indirectly about your situation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, friendly laughter broke out all around him.

"No, no... I'll just finish my speech..."

Before Chang Haonan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tang Lintian next to him:

"That's not right. I just went over to take a peek and found that Mr. Chang seemed to be dancing with a young lesbian..."

When Chang Haonan heard this, his eyes widened and he was shocked.

Before he went on stage, he clearly saw Tang Lintian turn around and leave, but the other party turned around and attacked him?

A principal doesn’t read textbooks but is interested in military strategy?

"Cough cough..."

He could only cough twice to demonstrate the embarrassment of being exposed:

"I was just about to leave after a few words, but was stopped by an acquaintance..."

In the joyful atmosphere, someone suddenly said half-jokingly:

"Comrade Haonan, if you really can't make up your mind, then I happen to have a niece who just graduated from college last year and is working in the United Front Work Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee..."

Chang Haonan turned around with a frown on his face, but what caught his eyes was a face that he had a slight impression of.

He vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be a person in charge of the nuclear industry system, because he accidentally saw the photo in some document when he borrowed equipment before.

But I can't remember whether it was the Nuclear Industry Group or the Nuclear Construction Group.

As for the name, it is even more impossible to remember.

This made him a little unsure of how to continue the conversation.

Generally speaking, leaders of state-owned enterprises at this level have been trained through 20-30 years of experience in different positions, and complex interpersonal relationships have been formed during this long process.

Chang Haonan is a rising star. It has only been less than four years since he went from obscurity to where he is today. Many people, especially those outside the aviation industry system, have never had much contact with him.

Fortunately, at this time, Tang Lintian next to him interrupted:

"Hey, Lao Pan, stop interrupting. We agreed not to interfere with the personal issues of young comrades..."

Chang Haonan frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

Just now when he was away, they seemed to have reached some shameful agreement without telling him...

However, Tang Lintian's words also reminded him that the person who just spoke seemed to be called Pan Shengyan.

The second-in-command of the nuclear industry group.

"You don't have a daughter, why are you so anxious..."

Pan Shengyan pushed Tang Lintian's arm away.

There was no prohibition on alcohol at that time, so halfway through the dinner, although no one was completely drunk, they were basically a little tipsy.

"I don't have one, but maybe the young people have already had an idea and are just embarrassed to tell us old guys..."

In fact, although Tang Lintian didn't see clearly what the person opposite Chang Haonan looked like, he basically guessed it -

Ever since he first heard Chang Haonan talk about numerical calculation methods at the group meeting, he had been thinking about which young female teacher to use to keep the other person in the school.

After all, good things should be kept within the family.

At least 10% of Beijing Airlines’ current position as one of the C alliances was achieved by Chang Haonan.

But I haven't found the right person yet.

But today, Tang Lintian suddenly realized that he seemed to have been in the dark in the past and ignored someone who was closest to Chang Haonan...

Therefore, we must not let others poach our talents.

At this moment, Chang Haonan found himself as if he had become the center of a gossip storm. In order to quickly extricate himself, he had to quickly find a way to change the subject.

Just then, he looked around and found that there was one person missing who was supposed to be here:

"Well...why didn't I see Mr. Liang Zhuoping from the Aviation Industry Corporation today?"

Sure enough, this method works every time.

Lin Zuoming, who had first started the "war", said seriously:

"They went to Chengdu yesterday. Not only Mr. Liang, but almost all the leaders of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China went there."

Although the confidentiality level here is high enough and the topic can be a little more open, it is not a confidential occasion after all, and it is still impossible to really treat it as an office.

But for Chang Haonan, stopping at the right time is enough.

Although Chengdu is responsible for a lot of models, the fact that the head of the group was able to go there in person and stay for several days shows that it is so important that it can only be the J-10.

To be precise, it is the second version of the J-10 after major revisions.

……

at the same time.

Rongcheng.

Taking advantage of the last rays of light before sunset, Song Wencong and Yang Wei led Liang Zhuoping and his party into the final assembly workshop of Factory 132.

On the two workstations closest to the door, two aircraft are parked symmetrically. They have completed final assembly and are just about to be towed away from the production line by a tug truck.

Even someone who doesn't know much about airplanes can tell at a glance that the two planes seem to be very different.

The most obvious thing is that the aircraft on the left is much fatter than the one on the right.

In addition, the lip part of the air intake only has a bulging cocoon bag, and there is no common mechanical adjustment device.

But if you look a little more closely, you will find that many basic features of the two aircraft seem to be very similar.

Canard enlarged delta wing, single engine single vertical tail, belly air intake...

In particular, the relative positions of the forewing, main wings, vertical tail and pelvic fin are almost exactly the same.

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can certainly see that these two aircraft, which appear to have completely different appearances, are actually related in terms of bloodline.

For Liang Zhuoping, who had just entered the workshop, the most eye-catching thing was actually——

Under the wider fuselage of the plane on the left, two huge bombs were hung side by side.

Of course, it’s a model bullet.

Judging from its size, it must be at least 1500kg.

For the previous version of the J-10, only the innermost rack of the wing can theoretically carry external objects of this volume.

But because there is no electrical interface there, only unguided iron bombs can be carried.

Obviously, letting a medium-sized fighter carry out aerial bombing is too abstract.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the old J-10 has no ability to carry more than 1 ton of ammunition.

After the design was updated, at the cost of eliminating the belly auxiliary fuel tank, it could actually carry two engines at a time.

This is obviously a huge improvement in multi-purpose combat capabilities.

And, that's not all.

On the side of the air intake, there are two inconspicuous light racks.

There are two PL-12 model bombs there——

Due to space issues, this position cannot carry the PL-11 with a larger wingspan, but fortunately this model should only be a transition, and active radar-guided air-to-air missiles will soon become the main equipment of the Chinese Navy and Air Force.

Coupled with the same two auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings and the two-in-two-close combination as before, it even gives people a feeling of baring fangs and claws when viewed from the nose.

It is in sharp contrast to the elegant appearance of the one next to it...

"This is a major modification of the J-10A, which has gained a larger payload and range at the expense of some extreme speed and high-speed performance, and is more in line with the needs of a new generation of fighter jets for multiple uses."

Song Wencong followed several group leaders and introduced them.

After that, he pointed to the original design on the other side:

"This is the fourth prototype of the initial design. The first three have flown for a total of nearly 10 hours, verifying the feasibility and stability of the onboard equipment and the canard-delta wing structure. We will not waste this plan and will export it under the name of J-E..."

"..."

While listening to Song Wencong's introduction, Liang Zhuoping walked forward, circled the plane half a circle, and came to the tail part.

The J-10A's tail nozzle is a complete silver ring, and there is no convergent adjustment plate design.

This is the most typical feature that distinguishes the WS-10 from the AL31F in appearance.

But Liang Zhuoping's face didn't look good.

The WS-10 can be said to be the greatest achievement of China Aviation Industry to date.

However, this achievement already belongs to the brother unit next door.

Although the group restructuring was a requirement of superiors that had to be implemented, his scope of authority was instantly reduced to half of its original size. It would be a lie to say that he did not feel any discomfort at all.

It's human nature.

At this time, Yang Wei on the other side also noticed Liang Zhuoping's eyes constantly wandering around the tail nozzles of the two aircraft.

So, I quickly introduced:

"In order to compensate for the increased weight of the Type A, General Manager Chang Haonan of the Aviation Power Group has specially designed a turbofan 10B engine with increased maximum thrust. This can ensure that in the basic air combat configuration of 2-mid and 2-close, the improved model's comprehensive maneuverability is stronger than the previous solution."

This is where high emotional intelligence is demonstrated.

In fact, the WS-10B is the original design by Chang Haonan, while the WS-10A is a model with reduced thrust and increased life because the J-11B cannot achieve supercruise even with increased thrust.

But after Yang Wei's explanation, it sounded like the WS-10 project team made work adjustments in order to "cooperate" with Project No. .

Sure enough, Liang Zhuoping's mood, as well as his views on Chang Haonan and the entire Aviation Power Group, instantly improved by several levels.

His expression softened as well.

"Did the ground testing of the engine go well?"

"all the best."

Song Wencong replied:

"Both the 606th Institute and the Liming Factory sent technical teams to assist us in the testing on site. Moreover, our quality control level has improved significantly over the years, and the situation like that of the No. 1001 machine will not happen again."

When the No. 1001 engine rolled off the production line, if the surge monitoring system developed by Chang Haonan had not come into play, the engine would probably have been damaged during ground testing.

This incident also became a watershed moment for the aviation industry system to carry out professional quality control.

Liang Zhuoping nodded with satisfaction, then turned around, glanced at the several persons in charge of Project No. 10, and then slowly spoke:

"According to the instructions of the General Armament Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the appearance of the Project 50 prototype at the th anniversary National Day military parade seemed to have misled foreign intelligence agencies."

"Although it is not yet certain whether this misleading information can be used for our benefit, the superiors still require that the flight test of the improved J-10A prototype be carried out as low-key as possible. Do you understand?"

Song Wencong and Yang Wei looked at each other and answered in unison:

"Yes!"
