C2076 The Prototype of the Aircraft
Speaking of the Su-27, it's famous in the military, but, speaking of the T-10, very few people know, actually, the T-10 is the prototype of the Su-27, the codename of the flight test.2
The Bear Navy had wanted the Shipboard aircraft with the Fixed Wing for a long time. Therefore, before the model of the Su-27 was finalized, they started the ship type experiment.
In 1982, the Su -27 was still far from finalizing. Sukhoi Design Bureau began to use the T-10-3 prototype to conduct the experiment of landing and landing on the ground. This T-3 was the meaning of the third prototype.
After the modification, this prototype carried out repeated experiments. On the Nitka System, it skidded and took off, blocked landing and so on. It had all been done. In the following few years, there were other experimental planes experimenting with flying. For example, the T-10-25 prototype and the T-10-24 with the duck wings began their experiments. T-10U-2, and so on and so forth. However, these prototype machines were not designed specifically for the ship. They were all modified over the long flight test. Due to lack of experience, these prototypes crashed one after the other during the experiment. This continued until 1985, when the Bear Country's military council officially issued the order to develop the Su-27K to the Design Bureau. Their official T-10K prototype also began research and development.
This type of model. From the surface, it seemed to be the most unique part of the small duck wing, but in fact, it was very different overall.
For example, the size of its wings had increased, and it was to reduce the load of the wings. It reduced the speed of the ship so that the pilot could control it more easily. Its tailbone had been shortened, so as to avoid rubbing against the deck when it landed. The landing gear in front of it had been replaced with two wheels, and the landing gear at the back had been strengthened. In order to withstand the huge impact when it landed, the opening of its flaps increased. It provided an even greater lift. In order to increase its control ability, it switched the simulated electric transmission to Digital Telex. Wait a minute.
These were things that only professionals could discover, and they had to be carefully compared with the planes in the past. And now, the most intuitive thing was that there were a pair of small wings in front of them. It had become a three-winged plane, and facing such a change, after hearing what the other party said about T-10K, Qin Guan pretended not to understand. He asked the other party, "What's the use of this?"
The J-10 Fighter on their side was a duck-shaped fighter aircraft. The duckwings were used to pull the vortex. At the same time, they could also control the body of the plane and greatly increase the operating ability of the plane. But now, the size of the duck wings was quite small. The strength of the control should not be too great. Besides, the side strip could be used to pull the vortex. What was he going to do with the duck wing?
"Increase the angle of the downward control and increase the stability." Simonov accepted it and said to Qin Guan, "This kind of plane will become a Shipboard aircraft for our navy."
Although the people who came to visit were all military officers of the air force, they were listening very seriously at the moment. After all, the needs of the navy were more stringent. After the navy was developed, it could be used for the improvement of the fighter planes in the Air Force. They were still very interested in this new technology.
"No, no, this is not Shipboard aircraft." At this moment, Qin Guan shook his head. "A Shipboard aircraft. The wings have to be folded. You don't even have a folding wing. Why are you treating it as a Shipboard aircraft?"
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Simonov also blushed. Their T-10K-1 indeed did not have a folding wing. This would only happen when T-10K-2 had one.
After all, they needed to hurry up.
On the aircraft carrier, the space was small, and the Shipboard aircraft only had folding wings. Only then could it shrink the area it occupied. Of course, the male cat was an exception. Its wings did not need to be folded, and directly shrank to the end. The width of the horizontal wing was greatly reduced.
Now, Qin Guan had pointed it out to them. This folding wing did not even have a folding wing, what kind of Shipboard aircraft was it? It was pretending to be a big tail wolf, but it was actually still a little rabbit.
Simonov felt embarrassed and continued to explain, "Our prototype is mainly doing the landing and landing experiments, so we don't have folding wings. We will have them when we get on the next plane."
Qin Guan continued to shake his head. "Not good. After folding wings, they will increase their weight. It is a waste to build them like this. After folding them, we will find that the previous data is not right. We need to redo all of them."
After changing the Land Based fighter into a ship, its performance will drop a lot. The Mech needs to be strengthened, the landing gear needs to be strengthened, and the entire body needs to be protected from salt processing. In addition to the folding wings, it would probably increase the weight by about ten percent. So, there had to be a new plan, such as using more Compound Materials to reduce the weight. Changing to an engine with a greater thrust and so on.
When these technologies were used on the Land Based fighter aircraft, the performance of the Land Based fighter aircraft could naturally be improved. This was also the reason why the Air Force Generals valued it.
Now, Qin Guan continuously pointed out mistakes. Everyone was looking at Simonov's embarrassing state. They also knew that Qin Guan was not wrong. Now, Simonov was also trying to buy time.
The competition between the two Design Departments was quite intense. After all, Mikoyan Design Bureau was still the giant of military aircraft research and development. Although they had only obtained one contract for the frontline fighter aircraft in the third-generation aircraft, however... He had already hosted the research on the 4th generation, at the same time, in terms of Shipboard aircraft, they were also unwilling to give in. The Shipboard aircraft modified by MiG-29 and the Shipboard aircraft modified by Su -27. There would be an intense competition to see who would be the first to come up with the idea. Whoever tested the flying of the Boarding the Ship would have the advantage.
Especially in terms of speed, Su 27 had been delayed because the problem of the radar could not be solved for a long time. They had been delayed for several years until 1985. Su 27 had just begun a large number of military service. The current MiG-29, it had been flying in the sky of Hans Country for several years. This was the difference. They were also in a hurry right now.
"Anyway, this plane hasn't been assembled yet. If you lack the folding technology of the Shipboard aircraft's wings, then... You can go to our place to inspect and improve it. Although this will drag on for a few months, but it can avoid repetitive work in the future." Qin Guan reminded him with good intentions.
Modifying was not difficult. In history, after T-10K-2 was built, this aircraft also returned to the factory and changed to a folding wing. Was there a need to do so? It would be better to change it now. Although the J-11 in Han Country did not need folding wings, it was still better to change it now. But transporting the -12, this model that was used to imitate the S-3, this kind of folding wing was preserved. One only needed to look at it to understand. It's very simple.
Since Qin Guan had already said it to this extent, the other party naturally could not reject him anymore. "Then we will immediately send technical staff to investigate. However, to us, the difficulty of the Shipboard aircraft is not the folding wing."
This folding wing was merely a mechanical device. Now, they still had something to hide.
Looking at Simonov's hesitant look, Qin Guan secretly laughed in his heart. Of course, he knew about this problem of yours. Was there a need to say it?
"Its biggest problem is its self-importance."
