C2618 The Idea of a Sky Fighter

2"Elder Soong, are you planning to start an aerial combat jet?" Qin Guan became serious. "This requires materials, technology, engine, and other aspects to break through. I'm afraid it will take a long time, right?"

The sky fighter aircraft was different from the ordinary fighter aircraft now. One had to know that no matter how the technology of fighter jets developed, almost none of them were faster than Mach 2.5. They were faster than Mach 2.5. It was time to use titanium alloy or stainless steel. There were only two or three models in the world that could achieve this.

If the sky fighter wanted to enter space, this speed would not double, but twice. After leaving space, what was needed was... 7.9 kilometers per second, 20 times the speed of sound!

Even Qin Guan himself had never thought about it. In his plan, he would leave this kind of fighter jet to others to worry about. He just needed to make sure that everything was in order.

"That's right. There are a lot of techniques and materials needed to break through. However, we absolutely can't let it go just because it's difficult. As long as this direction is correct, we have to bravely walk up. If the road is longer, why didn't we start earlier? "

Elder Soong began to convince Qin Guan.

"Just ten years ago, our chance was still the Second-generation Aircraft that conquered the world. But now, we can see that our main equipment has been replaced by the third-generation aircraft. Furthermore, the fourth-generation aircraft is about to begin its military service. As military workers, equipment generation, trial flight generation, preliminary research generation, this is going to be carried out at the same time. This will allow the development of aviation equipment to go on the path of positive development, allowing the advantages that we have accumulated to continue to develop. " Elder Soong said, "I believe that as long as we take a step forward, we will definitely succeed. Even if I can't see it, taking ten thousand steps back... There is still our next generation of researchers. Now, the 4th generation is about to serve. The research and development of the 5th generation must begin. President Qin, we believe in you. With you, we will definitely succeed in our research and development! Without you, even if we rely on our own scientific research abilities... We can definitely develop it!"

Elder Soong's words moved Qin Guan.

That's right, they had to prepare for the worst. Now, the fourth-generation aircraft was about to serve. They could not lie in the victorious seat of the fourth-generation aircraft and sleep soundly. They had to continue researching and developing it!

The fifth-generation console, what was the fifth-generation console? UAV?

That's right, the UAV was the true standard of a fifth-generation console. But in the era of UAV, what was needed was the rapid development of the AI system. In this aspect, it still required five to ten years of technological accumulation. As for the new generation of sixth-generation aircraft, it should belong to the sky fighter aircraft.

"Other than the materials, the most important thing is still the engine." Hearing what Elder Soong said, Elder Lu also joined in the discussion. How powerful was the engine needed to become the Air Combat Jet?

According to the project in Parallel Spacetime, the X-37 developed by Y Country, this was an unmanned and repeatable space fighter jet developed by Boeing Company. This type of plane was about 8.8 meters long and had a wingspan of 4.6 meters. It weighed more than 5 tons.

However, it could only be called an embryonic form, because this Space Plane... It did not rely on its own power to enter space. It was only launched from a rocket into space. Then, it used the solar battery to glide back to the ground. Its innovation... It was just that it could fly in the orbit of Earth's satellite and enter the atmosphere, and its highest speed could reach 25 times the speed of sound. After completing the mission, it could land on the runway of Air Force Base.

It was not easy to use their own power to enter space.

"President Qin mentioned before that after our Turbofan 15 research and development was successful, the next generation will be a cyclical engine, only this type of engine. Only then can it become the driving force of our Space Plane." Elder Soong said, "Even so, in order to reduce the difficulty, our most likely plan... It does not take off directly from the runway, but is carried on a supersonic plane. For example, a transport that can fly at Mach 3 will be directly activated. It will be a charging engine, and then enter space orbit. "

Elder Lu heard this and smacked his lips. "If that's the case, if you want to study the sky fighter aircraft, you need to first create a Mach 3 transport aircraft?"

Qin Guan nodded. If the Space Plane could be successfully developed, the plan that he was talking about now might be the one that truly had the ability to operate.

Actually, the Space Plane was not some sci-fi science fiction. It had been six or seven years ago. It had already become popular all over the world. With the continuous development of the Planetary War Plan, every country was filled with enthusiasm towards the sky. The plan of the Space Plane... It's the best way to quickly and low-cost.

For example, Y Country had proposed to develop a "National Airlines Space Shuttle" with the codename X-30, which was completely repeated using a single level array. It was a combination of supersonic supersonic combustion jet engines. The Cattle Country had proposed a single-level descending Space Plane called "Huo Thor," and used a brand new liquefied air circulation engine. The Hans Country had proposed a two-level landing Space Plane, "Sanger." The first level was actually equivalent to a supersonic transport aircraft, and the second level was a winged transport aircraft powered by a rocket engine. The two levels could land at different levels.

However, as time passed, they discovered that most of the plans were very difficult. Conquering space was not that easy. Later, the plans gradually evolved... In the end, they all became the last plan, using aircraft to carry a camel. First, give the Space Plane a speed and height, then launch it.

The original intention of developing the Space Plane was the same as the Space Shuttle. It was to reduce the cost. After all, it could make full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Therefore... Reduce the oxygen carried by the aircraft, which can reduce the weight of the takeoff. At the same time, the entire aircraft will be used again, and the cost will be lower. Finally, it would take off at a standard level, land at a standard level, and simplify the operation procedure of the entire mission.

However, the technical difficulty required was too high, and in the end, they all gave up.

Now, Elder Soong had aimed at this plan. If he could succeed... It was equivalent to a fighter revolution! This kind of span could be said to be a cross-section development from a propeller aircraft to a jet aircraft. Although the various countries had started to give up, Elder Soong still wanted to start this kind of plane.

If I can't do it, there will be the next generation of researchers. In short, this project needs to be set up first. I am the pioneer, so I will go and explore first!

"If that's the case, we will need to invest a lot of money, right?" Elder Lu said, "I'm afraid that it will be more than all the funds we have invested in history."

As the aircraft was replaced, the difficulty of research and development became more and more difficult. The cost was also higher and higher. Now, those who could develop the fourth generation aircraft... There were only two countries left in the world, Han Country and Y Country. Bear Country was doomed to fail. There was probably only one country in Han Country that could develop the 5th generation console!
