Chapter 1182 J-20 fighter jet roll-off ceremony
In mid-August.
Liu Tao went to Guifei Group.
He attended the J-20 prototype roll-off ceremony.
After more than four years, the first J-20 prototype is finally going to roll off the production line.
As the fourth-generation fighter project in which Liu Tao participated, the project was directly approved by Guifei Group without following the normal process. All the research and development funds were borne by Guifei Group. After Guifei Group passed the detailed design documents of the J-20, it directly built the first prototype.
Since the successful development of the American F22 fighter, the fighter entered the fourth generation from the third generation, and Liu Tao decided to develop the domestic stealth heavy fourth-generation fighter J-20 fighter.
After all, in terms of the fourth-generation fighter, China naturally cannot lag behind the United States and must catch up.
Although the latest model of the J-11 heavy fighter is equipped with a more advanced radar that can detect the F22 fighter, it is still not enough to fight against the F22 fighter.
The fourth-generation fighter still has to be fought by the fourth-generation fighter.
Moreover, the superior performance of the fourth-generation fighter is also very necessary for the development of the Chinese Air Force.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a domestically produced fourth-generation aircraft.
Liu Tao has been following the development of the J-20 fighter and even solved some key technologies.
Yang Wei didn't know how long he hadn't shaved, but his eyes were full of excitement, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Since he became the chief designer of the J-20 fighter, Yang Wei has devoted all his time and energy to the J-20 fighter.
Now, the first prototype of the J-20 fighter has been manufactured. This J-20 fighter is like his child. Now that the child is born, the joy is truly from the heart.
Yang Wei personally introduced the J-20 fighter to Liu Tao, even though Liu Tao actually knew the situation of the J-20 fighter very well.
Liu Tao also listened to Yang Wei's introduction patiently without interrupting him.
As the chief designer of the J-20 fighter, Yang Wei was under great pressure, and even others questioned him. After all, as the chief designer, Yang Wei was still too young.
Some people even believed that Yang Wei was able to serve as the chief designer of the J-20 fighter simply because he was Liu Tao's student.
Yang Wei was holding back a rage in his heart. He wanted to prove himself and slap those people hard. He was a real talent, not relying on connections.
It was the hard work of the J-20 fighter development team in the past few years that led to the birth of the first prototype of the J-20 fighter today.
The J-20 fighter is an undoubted fourth-generation fighter.
The J-20 fighter has super stealth performance, supersonic cruise, ultra-high maneuverability and super information advantage.
In terms of stealth performance, the aerodynamic layout, materials, and aerodynamic systems are comprehensively considered to improve the stealth performance of the J-20 fighter as much as possible.
In terms of materials, the fuselage of the J-20 fighter adopts high-strength and high-temperature resistant composite materials, and a large number of new titanium alloys and composite materials are used. This not only improves the strength and high-temperature resistance of the J-20 fighter, but also reduces the weight of the fighter itself.
In terms of layout, a more advanced layout is adopted, focusing on stealth design, including all weapons are mounted in the internal magazine, and the engine air intake used is also very advanced, thereby improving stealth.
In terms of electronic systems, whether it is avionics, general purpose processors, software, cockpit displays, electronic warfare systems, in-flight data links, radar systems, etc., they are all the most advanced.
The J-20 fighter has a main weapon bay under the fuselage and a secondary weapon bay on each side of the fuselage. There is no aircraft gun installed to ensure that all weapons can be installed inside the aircraft.
The main weapon bay can hang 8 Thunderbolt medium-range air-to-air missiles, and the two secondary weapon bays can hang 2 Thunderbolt short-range air-to-air missiles each. In addition, the J-20 fighter has 4 underwing hanging points, each of which can carry 2,270 kilograms. The underwing hanging points can carry 4 2,270-liter auxiliary fuel tanks when no weapons are hung, and can also carry 4 missiles when 2 auxiliary fuel tanks are hung.
In terms of engines, the latest aircraft engines are used, equipped with dual vector nozzles, with less thrust loss than the J-11 fighter and less infrared radiation. The thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 13, the maximum thrust reaches 12 tons, and the maximum afterburner thrust reaches 19 tons.
The scene of the J-20 fighter's off-line ceremony was very grand and festive.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the J-20 fighter. There was no way, the J-20 fighter's aura was too strong, and its shape was very unique and angular.
There was a shadow of the J-11 fighter, but not much. From the appearance, it was indeed a brand-new fighter.
Of course, the J-20 fighter and the J-11 fighter are of the same lineage, but one is a third-generation fighter and the other is a fourth-generation fighter!
The same blood, but the J-20 fighter is better than the blue!
The powerful engine enables the J-20 fighter to cruise at supersonic speed. The J-20 fighter can cruise at a speed of Mach 1.8 and a maximum speed of Mach 2.5.
At present, the J-20 fighter is positioned as air superiority, used to seize air superiority and destroy the enemy's air force or advanced fighters and bombers.
As for the future, it is not surprising that it will inevitably develop an improved model and become a multi-functional stealth fighter.
Everyone who came to attend the offline ceremony was very happy.
The Americans have successfully developed the F22 fighter jet. It is impossible to say that they are not under pressure.
Especially in recent years, the United States has significantly accelerated the deployment of the F22 fighter jet. Just two days ago, Lockheed Martin made further adjustments to the production speed of the F22 and accelerated the production pace of the fighter jet. It will produce 19 fighter jets this year and 24 F22 fighter jets per year starting next year.
This also means that the first batch of F22 fighter jets will be in service next year.
Although China has developed a more advanced radar that makes the F22 fighter jet unable to hide, everyone knows that only the fourth-generation fighter jets are the most advantageous means to fight against the fourth-generation fighter jets.
With the construction of the national defense system, missiles and stealth aircraft have greatly reduced their threats, but what about those outside China?
This has to make people worry.
And now, China will also have its own fourth-generation fighter jets, and the performance will be more advanced.
Many people looked at this J-20 fighter jet, just like seeing a beautiful woman who could overwhelm the country, and couldn't help showing their fascination.
Liu Tao noticed the eyes of these people and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
But it is understandable.
After all, the J-20 fighter has a beautiful and domineering appearance, a very strong aura, and is full of science fiction. It is hard for people not to like it.
Even Liu Tao himself likes the J-20 fighter very much.
This will be the future, the kicker of the Chinese Air Force, and a sharp sword in the hands of the Chinese Air Force, deterring jackals, tigers and leopards, and defending the country! (End of this chapter)
