Today is the day to complete the final assembly of the Phantom. Firstly, it is a gift to the motherland, and secondly, it is for another thing, Pearl Airshow in early November.
The air show in this world is in Pearl City, not Zhuhai. These are small things and don't matter.
But what makes Jiang Yan Hai a little surprised is that there is still a month left for the Phantom to go to the air show. Generally speaking, it is enough to go to the air show, but this depends on whether major problems will be discovered after the test flight.
If there are no problems, go to the air show. If there are problems, solve them. This is not necessary.
It's just that this time all the spare parts are made by many experts. In fact, as long as there is no problem with Composite Materials, the probability of it having problems is not high. Of course, this is just Jiang Yan Hai's own guess. The specific details will only be known after testing.
Because the assembly process can easily cause problems, the reason why I listed Pearl Airshow is firstly to show my strength, and secondly because some political situations this year are relatively serious, which can be regarded as exerting a kind of influence.
The third reason is that it is too difficult and almost impossible for a fighter jet to hide. Nowadays, the high-precision Synthetic Aperture Radar and optical radar can monitor every inch of your land anytime and anywhere. It is really difficult for you to conduct test flights without being discovered.
It's easy to take pictures at the airport, so now the research and development of many weapons is basically open and transparent. It's just that sometimes the officials don't take the initiative to publicize it, and they just see it when they see it.
Not only domestically, but also abroad. Do you think the United States and other countries are developing new aircraft that cannot be discovered domestically?
All can be found.
You can't find it when you're in the research institute, but when it becomes a test flight of a finished product, you can't hide it. Unless one day a device can be developed to completely shield satellites, especially a device that shields optics and Synthetic Aperture Radar, etc.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to avoid being discovered.
Moreover, outside the airports commonly used by many important research institutes, you can't stop many military enthusiasts. Just expose them. Sometimes showing your fists is also a kind of strength.
But just let you look at the appearance, what can you see? Its true combat effectiveness cannot be discovered by satellites. The Phantom will also be equipped with Luneberg Lens, which actively amplifies its own radar signal and will not tell the enemy the true radar signal cross-section.
In addition, the proportion of this Phantom using Composite Materials has reached 72%, but when the time comes, the fuselage participating in Pearl Airshow will use Titanium Alloy instead of Composite Materials. Of course, this is to give the outside world a wrong message.
It's not easy to hide its existence, but it's too easy to tamper with its performance.
Now in this assembly workshop, almost all the old professors are here, Old Liu, Professor Qian, and other experts and professors in other fields are here.
Because the performance of the Phantom is so abnormal, when it was manufactured, it could sometimes be used as a strategic weapon, just like the American B2.
By the time you see it, the battle will be over.
This is a major leap-forward development for the motherland. Of course, these old professors in the industry do not want to miss this historic scene.
But at this moment, Jiang Yan Hai is confronting someone.
The one who was confronting Jiang Yan Hai was none other than Old Liu, not because Old Liu was the person in charge of these old professors, but because Old Liu was more familiar with Jiang Yan Hai, and Old Liu was also responsible for fighter design and was the one who mainly communicated with Jiang Yan Hai.
Academician Yang is also an expert, but Academician Yang also has a lot of work. Academician Yang was not involved in this work.
"You kid, don't even think about it. Just be obedient." Old Liu said with a serious face.
"Why can't I?!" Jiang Yan Hai was a little depressed, but he still wanted to argue.
"What do you think?" Professor Liu looked at Jiang Yan Hai and said, "If nothing else, don't you have a clear idea of your identity? This kind of thing is not your turn."
"They are all contributing to the country. Aren't other people's lives life?" Jiang Yan Hai said in a serious tone.
"If you insist on listening to the truth, then I can tell you the truth. Yes, although other pilots are important, your life is more important than theirs. Don't you know that in your heart?" Old Liu widened his eyes and was not polite, just telling the truth.
Jiang Yan Hai: "..."
In fact, the thing they were arguing about was very simple, that is, Jiang Yan Hai wanted to test fly by himself. He wanted to do the Phantom's first flight by himself. The main reason was that he had Intermediate Scanning Program. If anything happened to the Phantom, he could find out the cause and eliminate the danger as soon as possible.
No one in this world is more familiar with the performance of the Phantom than Jiang Yan Hai. Just kidding, he and the Phantom have lived and died together countless times.
That was countless times. Jiang Yan Hai didn't even know how many times he had died.
Each time it was unforgettable. Under such circumstances, he did not want other pilots to take this risk. Test piloting is really a very dangerous job.
Although the probability of something going wrong with the Phantom is very low, no one can guarantee it 100%. There is no 100% success rate in scientific research.
"Boy, don't argue with me, it's impossible! This time we chose the best pilot in the country for the test flight, Colonel Huang Yao. He is the top test pilot in the country. He has flown too many aircraft types. He was the one who conducted the final test flights of J10 and J20." Old Liu saw that Jiang Yan Hai stopped talking and spoke directly.
"And he is already familiar with your Phantom's avionics system. He has been to the simulation warehouse countless times. What about you? You have been in the research institute recently, studying with us. Do you have time to study?" Old Liu glanced at this kid sideways.
"I don't need to learn, it was designed by me. I don't know how many times I have opened it in my mind!" Jiang Yan Hai said quickly, a little anxiously.
"You mean, us old guys didn't do anything?" Old Liu narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Yan Hai: "..."
"That's not what I meant, Old Liu, please don't take me seriously. Don't you know what I mean?" Jiang Yan Hai was a bit dumbfounded.
"That's not what you mean. What do you mean? Tell me, have we old guys done anything?" Old Liu looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Of course, you people have been of great help to me." Jiang Yan Hai nodded immediately.
"Then you must not be very familiar with many of our designs, right?" Old Liu looked at Jiang Yan Hai and asked.
"I'm very familiar with it." Jiang Yan Hai said quickly.
"If you are very familiar with it, I will tell them tomorrow that I will take you as my teacher. You are familiar with it. I think I still need to improve." Old Liu said immediately.
Jiang Yan Hai: "... That... that I'm not familiar with."
"Isn't that right? You're not familiar with it, and you haven't practiced it before. What are you going to do?" Old Liu said loudly with his eyes widened.
