C836 Air Fuel Aircraft Needed
President Koo was stunned when he heard Qin Guan's words. He thought for a while and said, "Hang up our Aircraft Belly."
He couldn't find any other place.
It was all the trouble caused by the landing gear, because the landing gear occupied the precious space within the wing. If he wanted to load the heavy missile, he could only hang the Aircraft Belly. This was also the characteristic of the Second-generation Aircraft. The third-generation planes all used a three point landing gear. It was all for the space below the wings to be emptied out.
The wings could not be hung. If one wanted to hang a bomb, one could only find space under the Aircraft Belly. That was why President Koo said that he would hang it under his own Aircraft Belly.
After hearing President Koo's words, Qin Guan continued, "How many can be hung there?"
"We can modify the force structure below, and at least two can be hung there." President Koo continued to answer.
The J-8 was a project that he had been working on, and he knew the J-8 like the back of his hand. Now, if he wanted to find a place, he could only hang one underneath the Aircraft Belly. If he didn't change it, then he could only hang one along the middle line of the Aircraft Belly.
If it was an Anti-ship Missile, it might be reasonable to hang one, but if it was an Air to Air Missile, what was the use of hanging one?
If he improved it, he should be able to stuff two in!
"These two Undying Bird are one ton in weight. In other words, after hanging this kind of missile, we won't be able to hang a secondary fuel tank anymore, right?" Qin Guan continued.
Hearing Qin Guan's question, President Koo nodded. "That's right."
This sentence was indeed correct. After hanging up the missile, he could no longer find a place to hang a secondary fuel tank. When J-8 2 was designed, there was a secondary fuel tank in the middle of the Aircraft Belly.
Even so, the combat radius of the J-8 was only 800 kilometers. This data was much larger than the J-7, but compared to the male cat, it was far from enough.
"If the secondary fuel tank is not installed, can it be like what you said just now? Deploy those airports to satisfy the air defense mission in the southwest region?"
When Qin Guan asked this, President Koo's expression changed and he no longer spoke.
Qin Guan hit the nail on the head.
Only by hanging up the secondary fuel tank would there be a large flight, but one could not hang an Undying Bird. If one hung an Undying Bird, they would have enough intercepting ability, but they also did not have enough flight distance. How could one overcome this contradiction?
Moreover, just hanging up two Undying Bird would also lead to a closer flight. This was because the air resistance was great, and the result was self-important.
When the J-8 was being developed, it was aimed at the high-speed interceptor in the sky. It could only carry light Air to Air Missile. It could not carry heavy missiles at all.
Even in the later generations, it was said that it was modified to destroy 83s. The biggest cheat had been raised to 5 tons. When it was attacking the sea, it could carry 4 C801 / C802 / C803 guided missiles and 2 short-distance combat missiles. When attacking the ground, it could carry a variety of guided weapons. Furthermore, the frame below Destroyer 8, III, can hang a 1.5 to 2 ton open space guided missile. As such... To carry out the strategic nuclear bombing mission.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was unrealistic. It was as if he was bragging.
"Yeah, if J-8 2 is replaced with a new Turbofan Engine... It will greatly reduce the consumption rate. That's more like it." At this moment, the Air Force Commander spoke. " But, if it's like this now, if it's forced, then... Absolutely not"
"Is there no other way?" President Koo said unwillingly. Every time Qin Guan came, it was like he was here to stir up trouble.
"Yes." Qin Guan said, "There is still a way. This is to develop the Air Refueling Aircraft."
When Qin Guan said this, everyone was stunned.
The land and air defense of Han Country was still the typical Bear Country method. They deployed a large number of frontline bases and carried out the territory of Air-defense Operation under the guidance of the ground radar. Under such circumstances, there was no need for a large flight.
However, the southwest, northwest, and outer space of the motherland were too vast. There was no way to effectively protect all the airspace of the motherland. Under the current situation where the number of airplanes was insufficient, how could they solve this problem?
That was to refuel in the air!
Air refueling could significantly increase the combat radius of the aircraft. It was necessary to attack the air force. Take a look at Y Country. Almost all the pilots had to master the air refueling technique. Once their planes ran out of fuel, they would go to the vicinity to look for gas generators.
Now, in order to defend the airspace of the motherland, they needed long airplanes. If the airplanes did not have enough airlines, they could think of a way to use Air Refueling Aircraft!
Qin Guan had now come up with this plan.2
"Other than our air force, our navy wants to fulfill the mission of patrolling the south of the sea. We also need Air Refueling Aircraft, so I think we should start the research and development of air refueling technology. "
The navy did not attend this meeting. In the current Han Country, it was still militarism. As long as the threat in the north was not eliminated... The position of the army was first, followed by the air force. The navy could only rely on the meager funds to develop itself.
"President Qin, how do you think we should develop the air refueling technology?" President Koo asked.
Qin Guan's words gave him a glimmer of hope. If they could develop the air refueling technology, then the J-8 2 Combat Jet might be accepted by the country.
"We need a big plane." Qin Guan said, "Only a big plane can satisfy our air refueling needs."
Qin Guan took the big plane out again.
"We have already started to develop and transport ten planes in our country. I hope we can complete the research and development of this plane as soon as possible. Then, it can be used to transform into our Air Refueling Aircraft. We, the North Industrial Company... We are currently negotiating with Cattle Country, and we want to introduce their SC-5 transport project. We can also use it to modify the Air Refueling Aircraft. If the map is ready... We can also transform our Six Blast into an Air Refueling Aircraft. "
Qin Guan said out three plans in one breath. Activating the Ten Modifications, SC-5 Modification, and Hong Six Modifications. However, no matter what kind of modification it was, the first thing that needed to be solved was the technical difficulties in the air.
In history, Han Country had used Six Blast Modification to modify it into Six Blast. Using J-8 2 to modify it into J-8 2D, it had the ability to refuel in the air. However, it took a very long time to break through this aerial refueling technique. He experimented again and again.
As for now, he didn't have to go through so much trouble.
Because the male cat fighter jets bought from Parthia had the ability to refuel in the air, they still used the air gas pipes that could be raised and shrunk.
The pilots and instructors from Parthia also had the experience of refueling in the air, because Parthia also had Air Refueling Aircraft.
With their guidance, they would be able to make rapid progress, and they would be able to quickly overcome this technical obstacle. If they could get the Air Refueling Aircraft from Parthia, that would be the best.
"Alright, I agree to carry out this plan." The Air Force Commander General Zhang said, "Our Air Force should have long-range combat ability."
