C2820 The Future of the Typhoon Was Not Looking Good
In all fairness, the typhoon fighter aircraft was not behind. Its performance had reached the peak of the development of the military aircraft in Europe!
Relying on the advanced duck layout and the breathing arrangement of the Aircraft Belly, it had the characteristics of high dexterity. Its maneuverability was first-rate. Moreover, it also had two advanced EJ200 engines. The thrust level was the same as the previous RB199, but its performance was one level higher. According to their plan, the weight of this plane was close to 10!
If the model of the aircraft ended, then their engine project would also end. Such a loss was huge.
Now, hearing Brandt's thoughts, Volep felt his heart sink. If the Air Force did not have confidence in the fighter aircraft that they had developed and did not even plan to support them, then they might really not be able to carry on.
"We are all old friends, so I won't hide it anymore." Brandt said, "The Air Force recently planned to send a team to contact Y Country. Hopefully, Y Country can give us the Invisible Machine. In the future, it belongs to the Invisible Machine. If we focus on this project, then the Air Force will invest in the Typhoon fighter aircraft. It will definitely be much smaller than the plan."
The air force needs to look into the future. This project in Han Country... Its lethality will be very high. It can be imagined that many countries in Europe... Even if it was ten or twenty of them, they would still buy it. It was also the fourth generation Invisible Machine.
This way, the Cattle Country Air Force would find that they were surrounded by stealth machines. Then, what should they do?
The only thing that could deal with the invisible machines was the invisible machine. If they wanted to develop the invisible machine, they could only rely on the Y Country. After all, only the Y Country had this kind of research and development ability. Otherwise, would they still need to buy it from the Han Country?
As a veteran empire, how could they buy a weapon from a developing country like the Han Country? Would they still have the face to do so?
Without Han Country, the performance of the Typhoon Combat Jet was quite advanced. It was enough to become the pride of Europe. Unfortunately, it was not a Invisible Combat Jet. Even if it was a product of the same kind in the third generation, in the era of the fourth generation, it was useless.
The fourth-generation console had the advantage of being inferior to the third-generation console. The Cattle Country Air Force had already realized this crisis.
Perhaps the Air Force still needed a typhoon. After all, the Air Force's gale was unable to reach the stealth plane. Moreover, the expensive price of the Invisible Machine also made it impossible for them to change clothes one by one. But the number of orders... It would definitely be greatly reduced.
Wolep felt his vision darken and he almost fainted. The Air Force was planning to purchase from outside. As expected, the Air Force was a traitor. He did not support his own country's business and went to get close to Y Country!
Wait, wait, wait. There was still a way to turn things around.
Going to Y Country to buy the Invisible Machine? How could it be that easy? The F-22 in Y Country was the most advanced Invisible Machine. It was a double-headed Heavy Air Superiority Fighter. According to the plan of the people of Y Country, this plane was for their own use. There was no exit at all.
Thinking of this, Voluper tried his best to keep his emotions calm and then said, "Y Country does not have a plan to export the Invisible Machine to the outside world. If the Air Force can't buy it, they will consider our typhoon, right?"
"Typhoon fighter aircraft, can it be invisible?" Brandt asked.
Volap wanted to say yes, but he felt that it was too much of a boast when he thought about it. Even if he added invisibility coating to make this plane invisible, just the inlet in the abdomen caused the area of radar reflection to increase greatly. This was a fatal point that could not be changed.
Then, was the Aerospace Company of Cattle Country going to decline like this?
With mixed feelings, Volupu left the air force and became the General Staff. He even felt gloomy.
If there was a way, there was also a way. For example, they could develop their own 4th generation aircraft.
However, the high investment made Volupp feel that his future was bleak. The board of directors were serious. If they invested a large amount of money, the returns would be very small. It might even bring the Aerospace Company into a hopeless situation. Would they agree to the project?
Typhoon fighter aircraft could only be developed by a few countries combined. They could not even afford a single country, let alone a fourth-generation aircraft. This... The cost of airplanes was even greater, because they were using stealth technology. There was almost no technical reserve.
For a moment, the Aerospace Company even felt like they were walking into a dead end.
"President Qin, the news from Cattle Country has arrived. The future of the Typhoon Combat Jet Program is not looking good." After the meeting was over, Qin Guan was on his way home when the Elementary Scholar introduced the latest news to Qin Guan.
When Hans Country joined their project, they could already predict that the future of the Typhoon Combat Jet Program was not looking good. Now, facing such a situation, the Elementary Scholar was very happy. If this giant closed down, how many business opportunities would there be? It was possible for them to occupy the Europe market.
"En, they only feel that their future prospects are unknown. It won't be long before they will definitely gain something." Qin Guan said.
What? The Elementary Scholar looked at Qin Guan in confusion. "Could it be that they can develop their own 4th Generation Machine?"
"Of course not." Qin Guan said, "As our plan goes on, the people of Y Country will definitely have countermeasures. Their joint fighter jet project will probably start soon."
A lean camel was bigger than a horse. How could the Aerospace Company of Cattle Country go bankrupt so easily?
Qin Guan didn't have that idea either. Otherwise, he would have become the enemy of Cattle Country.0
In fact, it was about time now. After all, in the Parallel Spacetime... In 1994, the Ministry of Defense of the Y Country started the JAST project (Joint Advanced Strike Technology) in an attempt to develop a multi-military-type common fighter aircraft. This was the predecessor of the famous JSF (Joint Combat Fighter) project.
Such a big cake would naturally be targeted by the various military research giants. The Cattle Country also joined in. Mai Dao, Nog, and the Cattle Country's Aerospace Company formed a research and development team, while the Lockheed and Boeing fought one on one.
Among these three competitors, their combined team was undoubtedly the strongest. McDoe was a veteran fighter aircraft manufacturer. Both F-15 and F-18 belonged to him; Nog was a veteran shipborne fighter aircraft manufacturer. He had also developed the Invisible Aircraft YF-23, Black Widow II, which had failed in the final bid. As for the Cattle Country Aerospace Company, as the inventor of the "Yao" type fighter jet, they had a huge advantage in the development of vertical landing and landing fighter jets.
Originally, they thought that it was a sure win, but in the end, they were the first to be eliminated. After being eliminated, the Aerospace Company of Cattle Country chose to cooperate with the Lockheed. In the end, they also contributed to the F35.
Therefore, Qin Guan now believed that they would definitely reach this step. Since the F22 of Y Country couldn't be exported, they had to develop a low-end machine. Under the pressure of their own side, if they didn't quickly come up with a countermeasure... They would have to watch their own side take over the market.
However, the future prospects of the Typhoon fighters were not optimistic. This way, their own side would be able to occupy even more of the third-generation aircraft market.
