Chapter 245 Top Secret Project: Stealth Fighter Project Launched
"Mr. Song, are you here too?"
The mysterious underground base. After Xu Huasheng stayed here for two days, Xu Huasheng met an acquaintance at this base.
Song Wen, the chief engineer of Unit [-], did not expect that Song Wen would come at this time.
"Haha, Xiao Xu, long time no see..."
Seeing Xu Huasheng, Song Wen shook hands with Xu Huasheng directly, with a smile on his face.
Song Wen is very happy these days. On New Year's Eve, the No. [-] aircraft made its first flight successfully.
This is the best gift I have received this year. After the successful first flight of the No. [-] aircraft, Song Wen was specially allowed to go home and rest for two days.
After resting, Song Wen did not return to Chengfei, but was sent to this mysterious base by plane.
And this time, Song Wen came with a top-secret mission. This top-secret mission is what he will do next.
As for the subsequent test flights and a series of improvements of the No. [-] aircraft, Song Wen also needs to keep an eye on it.However, this does not delay Song Wen's new mission, because the country has decided to bring Project No. [-] to this base, and the follow-up work of Project No. [-] will be completed at this base.
After briefly saying hello to Xu Huasheng, the group entered a conference room directly.
After seeing everyone in the conference room, Xu Huasheng swallowed, but he was very excited because he vaguely guessed that this time might be a big disaster.
"Everyone, today's meeting is the highest level meeting. Now I am going to read out an order..."
In the conference room, an old man with white hair in military uniform took out a document directly.
"according to……"
The old man began to read out the highest order. When the order was announced, everyone took a breath.
This command is very simple, that is, start a new project here.This project is named "Chameleon" project.
The so-called Chameleon Project is the research and development project for the next generation stealth fighter, that is, the research and development of the fourth-generation aircraft.
Such an order made everyone swallow their saliva. A fourth-generation aircraft, a stealth fighter, a fighter that is one generation ahead of the F16.
Even the United States does not have such a fighter jet now.
China is completely blank in terms of technology. Let alone fourth-generation fighter jets, China is now very short of even third-generation fighter jets.
China's current J-8 fighter is just a second-generation fighter.
Project No. [-] is a third-generation fighter jet, but Project No. [-] is still a long way from success.Under this circumstance, one can imagine how difficult it would be to directly develop a fourth-generation aircraft.
"Everyone, in the future, our military equipment will be developed according to the development model of one generation in service, one generation in research and development, and one generation in pre-development. To be honest, the No. [-] aircraft has successfully made its first flight on New Year's Eve. If everything goes well, in two years After that, maybe the No. [-] aircraft can be put into service. The technology that the No. [-] aircraft now has can also be used on the third-generation twin-engine fighter. Although we don’t have the third-generation aircraft in service yet, technically we already have it. The technology of third-generation aircraft, so we need to develop the next generation of fighter jets..."
After the old general announced the order, he directly told everyone the good news.
When he heard the news about the successful first flight of the No. [-] aircraft, Xu Huasheng's eyes lit up, and the others looked even more delighted.
They knew about Project No. [-] because many people in this room were actually involved in the development of Project No. [-].
Now that the No. [-] aircraft has successfully made its first flight so quickly and will be ready for service in two years, how can this not be inspiring?
"As for the specific plan of the Chameleon Project, Commander Song will tell us about it next."
After the old general finished speaking, he said with a smile. Everyone looked at Song Wen, and Song Wen also stood up.
"Everyone, let me now talk about the Chameleon Project. The Chameleon Project will develop a total of two fighter jets. The first fighter is a twin-engine heavy stealth fighter, and the second is a single-engine stealth fighter. Both fighters belong to the fourth generation. Stealth fighter, but its main functions are different. In the future, the two fighters will form a high-low match..."
Song Wen opened the file and began to describe the entire Chameleon Project in the conference room.
The Chameleon Project develops two stealth fighter jets at once, but these two stealth fighter jets have different uses.
In the future, the twin-engine stealth fighter will be more powerful and more maneuverable, and a two-seat version will be considered during development to prepare for unmanned wingmen.
This fighter is the J-20 project, which is aimed at the American F22.
As for the single-seat version, it is the J-35, which will be the benchmark for the F35 in the future.In the future, this fighter will be used as a carrier-based aircraft in the navy, and will form a high-level match with the J-20 in the air force.
Although the twin-engine heavy stealth fighter is powerful in combat effectiveness, it is also expensive to build.Even in a country as rich as the United States, the number of F22s has been decreasing again and again.Although this fighter jet has strong combat effectiveness, it is too expensive to build.
This is why the United States has developed the f35 again. Is the f35 as powerful as the f22?Absolutely not, but the F35 is cheap, and the United States has fooled so many countries into investing in research and development. The reason is very simple: it is poor.Pull these countries to share R&D costs.
What the United States will encounter, China will also encounter in the future.
Although the twin-engine heavy stealth fighter is powerful, it is expensive to build.Therefore, this fighter only needs to be equipped with a certain number and can be used as sharp knives.
Later, it will be equipped with a single-engine stealth fighter to form a high-low combination.
The dual-shooter can attack powerful enemies, serve as a stepping stone, take out the enemy's air defense system, etc.Then a single shot would make a sudden advance, and another wave would gain air superiority.
In the end, third-generation aircraft, second-generation aircraft, and drones all passed together, and all-round aerial strikes against the enemy were carried out. This is the mainstream model in the future.
"As for the research direction of these two fighter jets, Comrade Xiao Xu actually knows better than me. These things I mentioned were all told to me by Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu, can you tell us about the research and development direction of these two fighter jets? …”
Song Wen said with a smile after telling the story.After hearing Song Wen's words, everyone looked at Xu Huasheng, but there was not much surprise in their eyes.
Xu Huasheng nodded and stood up and walked directly to the front, picked up a pen and started writing on the blackboard.
Nouns appear on the blackboard one by one. These nouns are technical terms for fourth-generation fighter jets.And some people heard these names for the first time.
Xu Huasheng wrote a series of rankings before stopping, looking at the big guys below and smiling slightly.
"Everyone, the fourth generation fighter is a fighter developed to cope with the more complex air combat system in the future. As the radar technology of various countries becomes more and more advanced..."
In the conference room, Xu Huasheng directly acted as a teacher.At this moment, Xu Huasheng was neither modest nor concealing anything.
This is not the time to be humble when I tell you a lot of things I know, because for these R&D personnel, a little detour in the direction may waste a lot of time, and China cannot afford to waste time now.
