Chapter 744 The problem of the trainer
"This inspection is really an eye-opener." Everyone was still discussing the return plane, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau also used their own passenger plane to send farewells to Chinese guests.
Sukhoi's factory is in Gongqingcheng, and they often need to return to Moscow, so Sukhoi has a dedicated plane. Now, the dedicated planes provided for Sukhoi's senior management are used to carry out the task of picking up and dropping off their guests. This is definitely an honor.
Since it is a special plane, I will not worry about leaking the secret after talking about some of the inspections. Everyone is very happy, especially Tang Gang, who came out to see it for the first time, indeed, increased his horizons and the world. Even if he didn't fly on the plane, it was exciting enough.
"This kind of aircraft is too advanced and is very different from our previous aircraft. Therefore, if we buy it, we must buy some two-seater type." Qin Feng said.
In fact, any fighter jet in the past would have a two-seat coach type, only J-8 did not. Because the flight characteristics of J-8 are very similar to those of J-7, the use of J-7 trainer jets can also train J-8 pilots.
Now, when Qin Feng talked about this two-seat model, General Lin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we must buy some two-seat models. When these aircraft arrive at our Air Force, they mainly undertake tasks such as tactic research on third-generation aircraft. Two-seat aircraft are even more indispensable."
"In the future, when the number of Su27 is enough, we will not only have the change of flights from old pilots, but also new pilots to fly adaptively. I think our Air Force still lacks trainer aircraft."
Now, the domestic coaching aircraft system is also very backward. First, use the propeller's first teaching 5, and then use the J-Teacher V. The J-Teacher V has just been developed successfully, and the troops have not been equipped much. Even if it comes out of the J-Teacher VII and then fly to the Su-Teacher 27, it is not easy. Therefore, it is necessary to use a large number of two-seat models. The Su-Teacher 27 is quite expensive, and it is really a waste to use the precious life of the aircraft to train pilots.
"Yes, we don't have advanced trainer aircraft, so we can only do this. However, our domestic aviation industry is also constantly working hard. I heard that the development of the Jiao-8 is very progressing. If we have time this time, we can go and see Jiao-8." General Lin said.
After returning, we must first report to our superiors. After the report is completed, if there is no major issue, General Lin will plan to go and see the eighth school.
Qin Feng had been to Factory 320 before. With the reform of the country, there was a crisis there, but it was finally safe. Later, the country needed a trainer machine, and Pakistan also needed it. After negotiation, it decided to develop a first-time teaching machine in Factory 320. This is the origin of Teaching Eight.
Later, Qin Feng didn’t pay much attention to it. Now, after hearing General Lin’s words, is the Jiao Ba coming out?
"At the beginning of this year, the prototype was ready to be built. I guess I will go to the test flight academy next year for a test flight mission. Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can see it next year. If this year, when we are done with it, we will go and take a look."
"Of course I have to go back and take a look." Qin Feng said happily: "I really want to see this kind of jet trainer, and I can't wait."
It is difficult to develop advanced fighter jets in China because the technical difficulty of fighter jets is too high, but the trainer jets are different. The technical difficulty is much lower. For example, it can be seen from a simple development fund that the total development cost of this aircraft is 24 million US dollars, which is not as good as the price of a modern third-generation aircraft!
However, for China, the significance of this trainer is of great significance, because it has got rid of the shadow of the previous MiG and has begun to use a special trainer to train pilots.
For example, when designing, it is low in front and high in the back, and both pilots in front and back have a good vision. There is no such design on all trainers in China today, so the flight of trainers is also dangerous. Instructors in the rear cabin often need to use periscopes to observe the situation in front, which increases the complexity.
At the same time, since it was developed in cooperation with Pakistan, it was taken from the beginning of the process of international cooperation. In terms of supporting equipment, it can also adopt a large number of mature Western equipment, such as the ejection seats of the British Martin Baker Company, Western electronic flight instrument system, instrument landing system, Takon navigation system, etc. These can all use mature products in the international market to greatly accelerate the development progress.
Now, Qin Feng is also looking forward to this plane.
After returning to the capital, General Lin was busy for a few days and followed Qin Feng to Hongdu.
After arriving at the destination, Qin Feng opened his eyes wide. At Factory 320, Qin Feng saw a familiar face. His wife and children were actually in Factory 320!
"Dad!" Seeing Qin Feng, Xiaohu's head ran over, climbed onto Qin Feng's broad shoulders, and rode on his neck.
Little Tiger Head, you are so big, is it appropriate to do this?
"Why are you here?" Qin Feng looked at Gu Tingting and couldn't help asking.
"When Xiaohutou was on a business trip, she came here with Xiaohutou during the summer vacation." Gu Tingting said.
On a business trip? Qin Feng suddenly remembered something: "Do you plan to use our Teaching Eight as a platform?"
"You couple are really focused on work." General Lin sighed, "They talked about work when they meet. Let's go, let's take a look at Jiaoba, Lao Shi, Lao Shi?"
Qin Feng and Gu Tingting's faces turned red as soon as they said this. As husband and wife, they all focused on their work. When they met, weren't there any thoughtful words? Although it's impossible to say that I love you when I meet, it's not said, but ordinary words of concern should be there between lovers.
Of course, there is, but these words are no longer needed to be said. A look can express your longing. Gu Tingting's longing for Qin Feng is in her eyes.
"Let's go, look at Jiaoba. I don't know how far this plane has reached?" Qin Feng returned to his working attitude.
The last time I went to Chengdu, it took several months to assemble the metal prototype of J-10. What about Jiao Ba now? When I walked into the factory, Qin Feng was stunned. Isn’t this already done?
A modern trainer with beautiful shape is in the factory building, looking like it can fly at any time.
