C2619 Joint Research and Development
Qin Guan had to be careful with his words. He might be joking, but he had already taken it seriously.
Of course, Qin Guan remembered that on some occasion, he had proposed the idea of the sky fighter aircraft. It seemed that the theory he had proposed at that time was to use a supersonic transport aircraft to carry a camel into the tracks. In the end, Elder Soong had taken it seriously.
Now that the fourth-generation aircraft had been developed, the research institute naturally had to start a project. What project? It had to be a fifth-generation aircraft.
If they really wanted to do it, they would definitely invest a huge amount of money. However, they couldn't stop doing it just because they had invested a lot of money. If they succeeded, it would be very beneficial to the country.
This would obviously increase the deterrence of the country! This kind of plane could fly around Earth in two hours. And in space, the orbit could change at any time. No weapon could stop it. It could carry out military missions such as reconnaissance, bombing, and so on.
Even for civilian purposes, it had many uses. It could freely travel between heaven and earth. It could be said that anything that the Space Shuttle could do... It could almost do everything. For example, sending satellites into orbit, or recycling satellites in orbit. For example, destroying other satellites, transporting various resources to the space station, and so on. It could be said that it was another effective form of manned aerospace.
The investment was huge, but for someone like him who owned a money graveyard, what was this investment? Maintaining the advantage of technology was the most important. Furthermore, it could be considered to be in the midst of research and development!
Qin Guan's brain was rapidly thinking. At the same time, Elder Lu was still trying to figure out the problem. "Moreover, if you want to develop these two aircraft, you don't have the ability to do so."
"We can work together." Elder Soong continued, "You can develop the transport aircraft. We can develop the Space Plane."
"Why not develop the transport aircraft?" Elder Lu was clearly unhappy.
"Because you guys have completely mastered the ability to fly backward. Maybe this supersonic transport can use the ability to fly backward?"
"Old Song, you had thought of using us a long time ago, didn't you?" Elder Lu asked.
Both of them laughed.
Qin Guan also understood. Of course, Elder Soong had realized the technical difficulty of the new generation of Space Plane. Therefore, Elder Soong had never thought of having the 6611 research and development department independently. They needed to find another helper. This way, it could be considered a strong alliance. After the research and development of the fourth generation machine project was completed, there were new scientific research tasks.
If there were no research missions, then the research team might have dispersed.
Up until now, Qin Guan had finally started to confirm this plan. Since he wanted to research and develop it in advance, then let's do it happily once.
Wait! Qin Guan thought of something again.
Now, there was still a chance to make use of the geniuses of Bear Country.
It seemed like Bear Country was going to fall apart soon. The huge group of geniuses of Bear Country would be sent to the whole world, but what about their own side? Of course, their own side had to rely on their good relationship to quickly go to the Bear Country and snatch the talents.
The geniuses from the Bear Country would be used by their own side. Especially since the Bear Country already had a good plan to develop the Space Plane.
The people of the Bear Country had a more unique vision. They had started this plan since the middle of the 1960s. The project codenamed Spiral, and the result was the MiG105 fighter aircraft. This type of fighter aircraft... It looked like a small Blizzard, but it also looked like a large boot.
It was very special. For example, the wings could be rotated. However, it was different from the backward rotation of the retractable wing fighter. The wings were vertical. Although the wings could not be turned to 90 degrees at the bottom, they could still be turned to 60 degrees. This way, when taking off and entering the atmosphere and other high-speed flights, the wing and the water plane were separated into 60 degrees and had a vertical stability effect. After the speed was lowered to subsonic speeds, the wing would turn to the standard state and increase the lift force.
Another feature was that its sliding landing gear was placed on both sides of the surface of the plane, making the heat protection of the landing gear easier. There was a sleigh that looked like a flat sleigh underneath, so it had the nickname "Wooden Shoes."
This project had been researched by Bear Country for a long time. The mother plane at supersonic speeds had never been installed. This type of plane had entered the prototype stage, but it had only gone through the no-power gliding stage.
In order to ensure the survival of this project, Mikoyan Design Bureau had put in a lot of effort. They even planned to use the Blizzard Space Shuttle to launch it at the beginning of the development of the Blizzard Space Shuttle. It was just like the rotating launcher of a heavy bomber. Five Mig105 launchers were hung on one launcher.
The people of Bear Country treated the Planetary War Plan seriously.
That group of people still existed. The project was still in progress. It was only when the Bear Country collapsed that the project came to an end. In fact, many of the people who studied the Blizzard and Space Shuttle were transferred over from the Spiral Plan.
Then, it would be a great help to them if they were to poach all of these people. It would be a great help to their research on this Space Plane!
Robbing the Bear Country was not only the wealth and equipment of the Bear Country, but also the talent of the Bear Country! It was even to the extent that talent was the number one.
Currently, there was no Space Shuttle in the country. Qin Guan had never been interested in that kind of equipment. Now that the universe ship was being developed in the country, it was enough to take one step at a time. Then, could he transition it to a Space Plane?
"Alright, I agree with this project." Qin Guan finally decided. "However, this project needs to be done with sufficient preparation. Furthermore, we need to build a faster wind cave and build a foundation first."0
After all, this was a spacecraft from Mach 0 to Mach 25 that could meet the requirements. The ultrasonic wind tunnel was very useful for the research and development of this type of spacecraft. Without the wind tunnel, one could only spend a huge amount of money to carry out practical experiments. The loss outweighed the gain.
"On the other hand, our engine technology needs to have a breakthrough"
After one round, he returned to the engine. If there was no advanced, variable, and cyclical engine, then he could only rely on the ordinary liquid rocket engine to return to the old road.
They had just solved the problem of the Turbofan 15. Actually, it hadn't been solved yet. There would still be various problems during the test flight. Now, a new challenge was in front of them.
This was a new process of breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn. If they completed this project, then the Han Country's aviation Aerospace Technology would be at the most advanced level in the world!
"Yes, President Qin. We will definitely work hard to complete the mission." Elder Soong was very happy when he heard Qin Guan agree, even if the 6611 research institutes' current profitability was very high. They could not promote a new project by themselves. They had to have a huge investment. With Qin Guan's support, that was possible.
Now, their project had been confirmed by Qin Guan!
