Chapter 604 Pulse Doppler Radar (asking for monthly pass)
Guizhou Aircraft Group.
At this time, a very beautiful plane appeared in front of Liu Tao.
It was exactly the same as the small plane Liu Tao had before, except that it was enlarged.
This was the 'Eagle' advanced trainer developed by Liu Tao!
Compared with the 'J-7A', the 'Eagle' advanced trainer has the advantages of good overall aerodynamic performance, high maneuverability, high thrust-to-weight ratio, long service life, reasonable structural design, advanced manufacturing technology, high flexibility in personnel use and high development potential.
In terms of overall technical standards, it has reached the world's leading level.
In terms of payload capacity and maneuverable flight performance, it can even be comparable to some advanced light fighter-bombers.
The service life of the fuselage is 30 years and 10,000 hours, and the service life of the engine is 30 years and 4,000 hours.
The 'Eagle' advanced trainer is 12.27 meters long, 9.48 meters wide, 4.8 meters high, with a maximum flight speed of 1.4 Mach, a ceiling of 16,000 meters, a maximum range of 3,800 kilometers, and is equipped with two aircraft engines with an engine thrust of 2×4,200 kg, a normal take-off weight of 6,800 kg, a maximum take-off weight of 9,800 kg, a maximum available angle of attack greater than 29.2°, a maximum overload of +8.5/-3, a landing speed of 220 km~234 km/h, and a landing run distance of 593~669 meters.
The 'Eagle' advanced trainer is a tandem seat, twin-engine, with air intakes under the side strips on both sides, a normal layout of the front three-point landing gear, a large side strip, a wing-body fusion design, a medium aspect ratio wing with leading edge serrations, a full-moving horizontal tail, a single vertical tail, and two afterburner turbofan engines.
This "Eagle" advanced trainer aircraft can undertake flight technical training tasks such as take-off and landing, stunts, instruments, formations, etc. that are connected with advanced fighters, as well as basic tactical training tasks such as weapon use, air/ground target attack, single/multi-aircraft tactics, etc. Moreover, it is equipped with an afterburner engine and a high-performance fire control radar, which can complete basic tactical training and accompanying training tasks.
At this time, a big red flower was hung on the nose of the "Eagle" advanced trainer aircraft, which looked very festive.
"When we got the information, we were all shocked. This trainer aircraft was actually equipped with a pulse Doppler radar. It was so luxurious! The radar of the J-8 is far inferior to it!" Yu Ximing was amazed.
As the chief designer of the J-7, Yu Ximing has also reached the world's leading level in trainer aircraft design.
When he got the design information of the "Eagle" advanced trainer aircraft developed by Liu Tao, he was shocked because it was too advanced.
Except for the slower maximum flight speed, it is better than the J-7A in all other aspects.
And speed is only one aspect of the aircraft.
In the past, everyone pursued high altitude and high speed, but after the third generation of aircraft, high altitude and high speed are no longer overemphasized.
Look at the pulse Doppler radar, the detection range reaches 200 kilometers, far exceeding the radar equipped by the J-8, which has a detection range of 30 kilometers to 50 kilometers and a tracking range of 15 to 20 kilometers.
In addition, the "Eagle" advanced trainer is also equipped with new computers, HUD fire control systems, communication/navigation/data transmission systems and other new equipment.
This also means that this "Eagle" advanced trainer can easily perform beyond visual range air combat, close combat, air-to-ground and sea precision strikes.
Pulse Doppler radar, this is something China came into contact with when it cooperated with the United States to carry out a "Peace Pearl Project", and it has not yet fully mastered Doppler radar technology.
As a result, Liu Tao has already developed it, and it is so advanced.
Liu Tao sneered at the "Peace Pearl Project" jointly developed by the Air Force and the United States.
Although the J-8 fighter is not very advanced, if the United States does not know about it, it will still make the United States have some concerns. After all, the J-8 fighter has good high-altitude and high-speed performance. If it has advanced airborne fire control radar and air-to-air missiles, it will still have a deterrent effect on the US strategic bombers.
Liu Tao was very helpless. In the end, he insisted that the Air Force keep the two air-to-air missiles he developed, the 'Pili-8' and 'Pili-12', secret from the Americans, so that no underwear was seen clearly.
For the United States, now a good man in the eyes of the Chinese, Liu Tao always has a strong sense of vigilance.
He always feels that if you are really stupid and naive and completely believe in the United States, the end will definitely be miserable.
He always feels that the saying that "being an enemy of the United States is dangerous, and being an ally of the United States is fatal" is not groundless. This sentence can be spread all over the world, and it must not be aimless.
"Have all the air force people arrived?" Liu Tao asked.
Tomorrow, the first flight of the 'Eagle' advanced trainer will be held. Because of the special nature of this advanced trainer, the Air Force Equipment Department, the Air Force Command, etc. will attend the first flight ceremony.
Yu Ximing nodded and said, "Everyone is here. The first flight ceremony will be held on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Then Liu Tao learned about the situation of the 'J-7A' trainer aircraft. During this period, Guizhou Aircraft has delivered 10 'J-7A' trainers to the Air Force. The Air Force is very satisfied with this 'J-7A' trainer aircraft.
Even during this period of use and exploration, the Air Force believes that the performance of the 'J-7A' trainer aircraft is better than that of the J-7 series fighters.
After all, the radar detection range of the 'J-7A' has reached 75 kilometers, far exceeding the J-7 series fighters.
Now the Air Force is improving the J-7 series fighters to make the J-7 series fighters have stronger fighters.
Guizhou Aircraft Corporation was responsible for the improvement, and the chief designer of the improvement was Yu Ximing!
Continuous improvement is a fine tradition of China.
There is no way, China is too poor, as poor as a ghost.
Three years of sewing, three years of mending, and three years of sewing and mending!
The same is true for fighter jets, which are constantly improved to improve the fighter jets.
As a result, a variety of models are derived from one aircraft.
For example, the initial model of the J-7 and the latest model are completely two different aircraft, and their performance has been greatly improved.
That's it, the improvement work of the J-7 has never stopped.
For example, Yu Ximing and others are absorbing the advanced technology of the "J-7" advanced trainer aircraft and improving the J-7.
Yu Ximing and others are very confident that the J-7 will be able to greatly improve its performance by using the advanced technology of the "J-7" advanced trainer aircraft, surpassing the latest improved model of the "J-8", and reaching the standard of the third-generation aircraft. They dare not think about it, but they are still very confident that they can reach the standard of two and a half generations of fighters.
And this will undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Air Force.
After all, the most important manifestation of the combat effectiveness of the air force is the performance of the aircraft.
The combat effectiveness of flying an advanced fighter and flying an outdated fighter is a world of difference.
In the past, China was equipped with outdated aircraft, which seemed to be in large numbers, but in fact, every pilot was ready to die with the enemy at any time.
What's more sad is that now, it may be impossible to die with the enemy.
