C1104 A Firefly
The people of Hans Country were really pitiful. From the war until now, they had lost the ability to research and develop a single fighter jet on their own without completing the research and development of a single fighter jet. Now, they wanted to bring in their own 14 fighter jets, but there was still a hidden reason behind it.
They definitely did not need to bring in a production line to improve their existing production lines. It would also be more advanced than the production lines of Han Country. They wanted to bring in technology. This was understandable, but they also wanted to bring in all the information they had on the flight test. What was the purpose of this?
Others might not know, but Qin Guan knew in his heart that they were definitely doing this for another project.
Firefly.
In this era, many people still knew nothing about invisibility and did not feel anything. However, some people were already aware of it and had started to invest a lot of effort into it.
From the information that was revealed in the future, the most advanced stealth technology was Bear Country. Their F-117 fighter aircraft had already started the Equipment Department team in the 1980s. This technology made them look like aliens.
However, in fact, some countries had also started to study the stealth technology. This included Hans Country. They had also started the research project of the stealth aircraft, which was called fireflies.
Just this year, MBB received a contract with the Hans Country Air Force. The project was officially launched. This project was also known as the middle-range missile fighter aircraft (MRMF).
Based on the stealth principle, the firefly, from the wind tunnel model that was later revealed, belonged to the stealth fighter aircraft with a polyhedron shape, just like the Nighthawk. However, unlike the Nighthawk that focused on attacking the ground, the firefly would be an air combat aircraft that focused on the mid-range and distance. It would make use of its outstanding head-on stealth ability. It was better to attack the enemy from a distance and not an invisible fighter aircraft from a distance. Its positioning was more in line with the needs of the Y Country Air Force.
To put it bluntly, it was to shoot a cold arrow.
After all, the biggest enemy of the Hans was the Bear Country. The terrifying rolling Armor Torrent in the Bear Country was the eternal threat of the Hans. In order to win the war on the ground, the first thing to do was to win the war in the sky. They had to seize control of the air and then launch an aerial attack on the ground.
Firefly was a type of invisible killer.
"The 'firefly' was smaller in size and had a lot of differences from the 'Nighthawk'. For example, it used a tailless triangular wing, a single tail, and an invigorated abdominal structure. Judging from the model of the wind cave, its cockpit and front body were perfectly integrated, but the layout made it almost incapable of close combat.
This type of airplane carried a medium-distance missile and secretly launched a missile. After the missile was fired, it slipped away.
Now, Gerhard was the person in charge of this project. The radar area of this aircraft was even twice as large as the F-117.
In history, in the middle of the 1980s, the "Firefly" project entered the fast lane of MBB. They created a 1: 3.5 ratio low-speed model and a 1: 20 scale sonic model. They also created a 3: 4 ratio "manned" model with a cockpit. It was used as a Flight Emulator to verify the cabin meter and the stability of the navigation system. All the models carried out a large number of tests in the wind cave.
Unfortunately, they could not hide it from Western World. Soon, the western reporters noticed the advanced fighter aircraft. Reporters had no professional ethics. They dared to expose any news. This would allow them to gain their own prestige.
Just like that, this project was revealed, shocking the Y Country.
In 1987, Hans had to admit the existence of the "Firefly" project. In the same year, a delegation from Y Country Air Force came to MBB. It was the first time they saw the model of the "Firefly" wind cave and personally experienced a large proportion of the Simulation Device.
After that, after that... The situation was obvious. The Y Country would never allow the Hans to develop their advanced stealth machine. The current progress of the Hans was one step away from creating the prototype. Unfortunately, this project was canceled under the pressure of the people of the Y Country.
Everything related to the "firefly" model of the wind cave was kept in a sealed area of MBB's main assembly plant in Ottobron. Since then, everything about "fireflies" had stopped. Logically speaking, it should be able to complete its first flight in the early '90s.
This was the sorrow of the Hans. It was as if the development of the new fighter aircraft in the Great Wei People had been stopped by Y Country.
What about now? The Hans had come to ask them for all the information about the J-14. Naturally, they had also considered this aspect.
The Hans itself had already lost the research and development ability of the advanced fighter aircraft. If this Firefly fighter aircraft wanted to research it, it would be best if there was a reference. Who could they look for? They could only look for the Han Country. Would other countries be willing to give them this information?
Or, it could be said that as long as they asked for information from other countries, their intentions would be revealed and they would be suspected.
From designing to finalizing a fighter aircraft, one had to walk an entire path. The experience within was the most valuable. The Hans lacked this experience.
Thinking of this, Qin Guan understood. He looked at Gerhard in front of him. Qin Guan continued, "Our J-14 is just a lightweight third-generation plane. You have a better chance. Why didn't you bring in the F-16 from Y Country?"
In many aspects, the F-16 was actually better than the J-14. By doing so, the Hans was disregarding the distance.
" When the F-16 was designed, it did indeed follow the rules of the energy mobility theory. However, this kind of airplane was only strong in close combat. It could not launch a medium distance bomb. At the same time, it uses a fixed leather drag into the air, its high speed ability is poor. Therefore, we are more inclined to your J-14. " Gerhard's answer was no problem at all.
The F-16's radar currently lacked a continuous wave transmitter, so it could not fire the Medium Range Missile. They could only use the rattlesnake missile to engage in close-range combat. At the same time. ... It used a fixed inlet. Although it was simple, it gave up the ability to fly at high speed. Although theoretically it could fly to Mach 2, it exceeded Mach 1.6. The resistance of the inlet was too great, and the air it inhaled was too much. The acceleration was quite slow.
The other party wanted to buy their own J-14 Fighter. This was understandable. Moreover, the significance of such an export was very significant. If even the Hans were to buy the J-14 Fighter... This meant that their fighter aircraft's performance was excellent, and they had successfully opened up the market for developed countries!1
At the same time, as long as they signed an agreement with the Hans, they could only bring in the fighter aircraft produced using their own technology. If they could not export it to a third party, they would not bring any trouble to their own exports.
How many of them they wanted to produce was their own business.
However, how could they expose the fact that they had developed their own stealth aircraft?
After a pause, Qin Guan said, "Our J-14 Fighter's performance is very good. Our country also plans to improve this model of aircraft. Among them, there is a version that has a certain invisibility ability."
When Qin Guan mentioned the invisibility ability, as expected, the Hans on the other side immediately widened its eyes. "This plane can also turn invisible?"
