Chapter 642 J-11! ?

The successful maiden flight of the J-10 fighter jet is of great significance.

It represents that China's aviation industry has finally reached world-class level.

Being able to develop such an advanced fighter jet as the J-10, China can be said to be an aviation power.

Looking at the world today, only the United States, the Soviet Union, France and now China can develop third-generation fighter jets!

There are only four countries in the world that can develop third-generation fighter jets!

At a time when the United States and the Soviet Union are equipped with third-generation fighter jets in large quantities, the successful maiden flight of the J-10 fighter jet is like a timely rain.

Chengfei held a grand and grand celebration banquet to celebrate the successful maiden flight of the J-10 fighter jet.

With the successful maiden flight of the J-10 fighter jet, a series of test flights will be carried out next. The entire test flight will probably last for two or three years. Chengfei needs to form a production line dedicated to the production of the J-10 fighter jet. The scientific research team needs to develop the two-seat J-10B based on the J-10, and then continuously improve the performance of the J-10 to form a series of aircraft based on the J-10.

Liu Tao also began to prepare for the pulsating production line of the J-10 fighter and the export of the J-10 fighter.

In addition, Liu Tao wanted to develop a twin-engine heavy fighter based on the J-10.

He named this new fighter the J-11.

Now, China has the J-6 series fighters, the J-7 series fighters, the J-8 series fighters, and now the J-10 fighters, which will develop into a new series of fighters.

In fact, China also wanted to develop the J-9 fighter.

The J-9 is an interceptor manufactured by Chengfei. Its design has gone through many twists and turns. Finally, the plan was cancelled in 1980 because the indicators were too high and the technical conditions could not be met.

At that time, the J-9 was defined as an all-weather, high-altitude, high-speed, key point air defense interceptor, mainly targeting the Soviet Tu-22M "Backfire" and the US B-1B "Lancer" supersonic bomber. The design technical indicators reached double 26, that is, the ceiling was 26 kilometers and the speed was 2.6 Mach per hour. It can be said that the technical indicators are the best performance of Chinese fighter jets.

The indicators were too high and the technical conditions could not be achieved. In addition, the air force's combat thinking at that time was "first to find the enemy, first to fire, and first to destroy the enemy", which led the process of the third-generation fighter, so the J-9 project was cancelled.

Now that Project No. 10 has been successful, Liu Tao has not thought about occupying the quota of J-9. He directly named the twin-engine heavy third-generation fighter he was going to develop J-11, and the internal code name is Project No. 11.

With the success of J-10, it will be much easier to develop J-11.

Liu Tao completely analyzed J-10, and he can be said to be an expert in fighter development technology.

Liu Tao first spent some time designing the J-11 aircraft model. It is not accurate to say that it is an aircraft model. It should be said that it is a drone.

The appearance of J-11 is somewhat similar to J-10, but there are many differences.

As long as there are some changes in the aerodynamic layout, it will be a big change, and it will take a lot of effort.

And if you look closely, the J-11 UAV developed by Liu Tao is equipped with two turbofan engines.

The transporter carried the J-11 UAV to a road, which is not in use yet.

After the connection, Liu Tao controlled the J-11 UAV to taxi on the runway. The two engines made a buzzing sound, and the thrust was quite strong.

After taxiing for a distance, the speed was very fast. Liu Tao manipulated the lever, and the nose of the aircraft suddenly rose up, and the front landing gear left the ground. After another distance of taxiing, the two rear landing gears also left the ground.

For a period of time afterwards, Liu Tao took the J-11 UAV to fly in addition to handling official business.

The news of the first flight of the J-10 was not reported in the newspaper, and no one in the outside world knew about it at all.

This is also the characteristic of China, and you have to keep a hand in everything.

It will be shown at the critical moment as a trump card.

Just like the Type 80 main battle tank, everyone knows that China has developed the Type 80 main battle tank a long time ago, but when it was developed, the entire development process, and the specific parameters, no one knows at all.

In terms of confidentiality, it has always been the top priority.

Especially scientific research institutions and military factories.

But this year, the National May Day Model Worker was awarded to Huang Bingxin and Song Wencong!

When Liu Tao was developing the J-11, the second Persian Gulf escort formation set off. After they arrived in the Persian Gulf, the first Persian Gulf escort formation would leave the Persian Gulf and return to China.

The first Persian Gulf escort formation has been escorting in the Persian Gulf for the past few months, and has received international acclaim and earned a reputation.

After leaving the Persian Gulf, the first Persian Gulf escort formation will pay friendly visits to four countries including Djibouti and Tanzania. On the return trip, it will pay friendly visits to Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia.

During this period, Liu Tao has been paying attention to college students in various domestic universities, except when he was developing the J-11. However, what surprised Liu Tao was that the extremely bad thing he remembered did not happen.

"The butterfly effect I triggered is becoming more and more obvious~~" Liu Tao muttered to himself.

But it's good this way, with less internal friction, and faster development.

In June, Liu Tao finally stopped flying the J-11 drone.

All aspects have been tested.

Liu Tao put his hand on the J-11 drone and then analyzed it.

Then Liu Tao began to arrange the manufacture of the J-11 fighter prototype.

This time, three J-11 fighter prototypes will be manufactured and handed over to Guizhou Aircraft Corporation for the manufacture of the prototype.

This J-11 fighter is positioned as a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather air superiority heavy fighter, and its main tasks are national air defense, escort, maritime patrol, etc.

The entire J-11 fighter adopts an all-metal semi-monocoque fuselage, with a large amount of titanium alloy. It is 21.935 meters long, 5.932 meters high, 14.70 meters wide, and has a wing area of ​​62.0 square meters. The overall empty weight is 17,450 kilograms, the normal take-off weight is 22,500 kilograms, and the maximum take-off weight is 33,000 kilograms. The internal fuel load is 9,400 kilograms and 13,100 kilograms (3 external auxiliary fuel tanks and 2 conformal fuel tanks). The maximum weapon load is 10,705 kilograms. It can hang air-to-air missiles or other bombs and rocket launch nests. The fixed weapon is a 30mm cannon, with a practical ceiling of 19,800 meters, a maximum range of 5,745 kilometers (with conformal fuel tanks), a combat radius of 2,200 kilometers, a maximum flight speed of 2.5 Mach, a take-off run distance of 270 meters, and a landing run distance of 600 meters.

It can be said that in terms of air combat capability, the J-11 fighter is much stronger than the J-10 fighter.

Thus, the J-11 and J-10 form a "high-low configuration" in the air for combat.

Because the J-11 is a twin-engine heavy fighter, it is much more expensive than the J-10 single-engine light fighter. The Air Force will definitely purchase more J-10s and fewer J-11s at that time.

Congratulations to Zheng Qinwen for winning the championship!
