Chapter 910 (2/2)

”The principle of supersonic speed is very simple. As long as your engine has enough thrust and high thrust to weight ratio, it can be achieved. In short, it can achieve large thrust without greatly increasing the weight of the aircraft.”

”There are many ways to achieve super maneuverability. The most important is to use vector engine to directional output to achieve short-time and large-scale maneuvering with huge thrust, and the wing mainly plays an auxiliary role.”

”Based on Moore's law, the volume of electronic components will continue to decrease in the future, but the relative performance will continue to improve. This allows an aircraft to hold more electronic components. ”

”Sensors are all over the fourth generation aircraft to achieve a longer detection distance and capture weak signals from other aircraft. In special cases, it can also act as an information node to realize real-time interaction between each aircraft. It can be said that the fourth generation aircraft is a small early warning aircraft, which naturally has strong information processing ability! ”

Hearing baozixuan's standard division of the fourth generation fighter, old Williamson was sober. No wonder heiyun group has developed so rapidly. It turns out that all this is due to baozixuan's talented brain and infinite imagination.

This is a brain no weaker than Newton and Einstein, and most importantly, it has a huge wealth. No matter what kind of product you like, you can develop it. This is the gap, the real gap.

F-18 is one of the core products of McDonnell Douglas, and there may be broad room for upgrading in the future. But now it seems that black cloud has come to the front again. If it can be so specific, it must have carried out research and development around the fourth generation fighter.

He has seen the materials and videos of the black cloud HH-01 ghost bomber. The tailless design is indeed a genius and bold design with a wave absorbing layer. There is no problem in realizing stealth under radar; At least the current technology is difficult to track effectively.

The United States has also launched relevant research and development, and McDonnell Douglas is one of the bidders.

Baozixuan didn't know that because of the emergence of HH-01 ghost, the genuine ghost fighter originally developed four years later was advanced. Moreover, the time given by the military is very tight and the technical requirements are particularly high; It is very difficult to implement. However, the Defense Department believes that there must be no problem with American technology.

If the Soviet Union gets the corresponding technology, the United States will face another crisis.

Black cloud HH-01 ghost stealth fighter bomber with limited bomb load. Ordinary bombing missions are acceptable, and nuclear strikes are difficult to complete. It has little impact on the United States, at least it can't attack the United States. The United States should have more powerful stealth strategic bombers without tail wings with longer range and greater bomb carrying capacity.

But what baozixuan said today made old William have different ideas.

At present, there are many companies bidding for stealth bombers without tail wings, including Northrop, Grumman, Lockheed and Boeing. It's better to find a new way than to fight with other families.

McDonnell Douglas can give up the project of stealth bombers without tail wings and focus on the fourth generation fighters. Bombers are a niche product. Although each one has a large single value, the number is always limited.

Fighter planes will not have similar problems, and every country will purchase them. The R & D will be a model with an unusually large production volume, and the future prospect is bright.

Another important point is the current technical strength and financial situation of McDonnell Douglas; Certainly not the other competitors. Instead of wasting human, material and financial resources on a doomed project, it's better to focus on what you're good at.

At this time, McDonnell Douglas desperately threw money at the three engine airliner project, plus the loan from the bank when the two companies worked together. As a result, there is not much surplus in the money earned from the military aircraft project, and it is difficult to develop four engine super large aircraft. Let alone start the tailless strategic stealth bomber in a short time, such a bad situation may lead to the bankruptcy of the company.

At present, I haven't heard of any company launching the research and development of the next generation fighter. After all, the service time of the third generation fighter is still very short. If McDonnell Douglas is ahead, low-speed research and development; In the future, it will certainly enter the bidding process of the Ministry of defense with great advantages.
