The gap in radar technology may put one side at a disadvantage in combat.
If the opponent's Third-Generation Fighter Jet is equipped with the advanced Active Phased Array Radar, then they will be able to detect our fighter jets as soon as possible and take corresponding actions.
In contrast, if our J-10 Fighter Jet cannot discover the opponent in advance or discover each other at the same time as the opponent, the advantage in air combat will be greatly reduced.
Can such J-10 Fighter Jet be called Third-Generation Fighter Jet in the true sense?
Its various standards do not fully meet the requirements of Third-Generation Fighter Jet.
In fact, it is more like a fighter between the second and third generations, a second and a half generation fighter.
After hearing what Lin Chenran said, the J-10 Fighter Jet Design and R&D Team members present looked embarrassed.
They realized there was a problem with their design.
This feeling is like a child being exposed for lying, feeling ashamed and helpless.
Lin Chenran then continued to point out, "I stick to my point of view. I think the design and development of J-10 Fighter Jet must be forward-looking."
"We cannot lag behind the foreign Third-Generation Fighter Jet in terms of performance in the early stages of design. Otherwise, our fighter jets will never catch up with the international advanced level."
After listening to Lin Chenran's words, Song Wen agreed very much with the other party's ideas.
He expressed his gratitude to Lin Chenran and promised to seriously consider his suggestions.
"Director Lin, your idea is very correct, we will go back and revise it." Song Wen said very humbly.
He then said with emotion, "Sure enough, coming to 077 Machinery Military Factory this time was a wise choice. It made us as a whole Design and R&D Team realize that there are many shortcomings in the J-10 Fighter Jet we designed and developed."
Hearing that the other party's tone became so humble, Lin Chenran naturally wanted to give the other party a step down. "Song Wen Chief Designer, J-10 Fighter Jet's design is generally very good, and we have learned a lot of knowledge."
"I didn't expect the design of a fighter jet to be so complicated."
Everyone loves to carry the sedan chair!
If others respect you, you must respect others as well.
Immediately afterwards, Song Wen Chief Designer continued to explain the mounted weapons and equipment of J-10 Fighter Jet.
It can carry various medium-range air-to-air missiles, active-seeking medium-range missiles, air-to-ground, air-to-ship missiles and various types of laser-guided bombs.
In terms of mounting, Lin Chenran is quite satisfactory.
J-10 Fighter Jet is a Third-Generation Fighter Jet. It has many more combat missions than the last second-generation fighter, so it needs to be even better.
After Song Wen briefly explained J-10 Fighter Jet, Lin Chenran took the lead in applauding. Seeing this, others followed suit. For a moment, there was a burst of thunderous applause in the entire conference room.
When the applause gradually subsided, Song Wen said with emotion, "Coming to 077 Machinery Military Factory today is really the right place. It made us realize that there are so many shortcomings in the J-10 Fighter Jet we designed and developed."
"Director Lin, your suggestions are very valuable. We will humbly accept them and go back to make modifications."
And Lin Chenran quickly waved his hand and said humbly, "Don't say that, Song Wen Chief Designer, everyone learns from each other, and your design concepts are also of great value to us and have benefited us a lot."
He knew very well that he should not be too conceited to avoid giving the impression of being domineering.
Immediately afterwards, Song Wen Chief Designer put forward his own requirements for Special Composite Material used by J-10 Fighter Jet.
He said that this Special Composite Material must have high strength, high toughness and high temperature resistance to ensure the safety and reliability of the aircraft in high-speed flight and complex environments.
At the same time, he also emphasized the importance of the material's lightweight characteristics in improving aircraft performance.
Song Wen Chief Designer turned to Lin Chenran and asked, "Director Lin, can your 077 Machinery Military Factory meet our requirements for this kind of Special Composite Material?"
Faced with this question, Lin Chenran did not answer directly, but responded with a smile, "Song Chief Designer, regarding Special Composite Material, I would like to ask Hu Xiaofan, the person in charge of the special materials project of our mechanical arsenal factory, to give you a detailed introduction."
"Engineer Hu is an expert in this field."
Lin Chenran smiled slightly and invited Hu Xiaofan on the side to answer Song Wen Chief Designer's questions.
Hu Xiaofan cleared his throat and began to say, "Dear leaders, we at 077 Machinery Military Factory have been committed to the research and development of Special Composite Material."
"Currently, we have developed a variety of high-performance Special Composite Material, which can meet the needs of different fields."
Then, Hu Xiaofan introduced in detail several types of Special Composite Material they developed, including their performance parameters, application scenarios, etc.
These materials have been rigorously tested and verified and have good reliability and stability.
Hu Xiaofan thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "Based on the design requirements of J-10 Fighter Jet, I selected several more suitable Special Composite Material from our existing Special Composite Material at 077 Machinery Military Factory for your reference."
"These Special Composite Material have high strength and toughness while also being able to withstand a certain degree of high temperature."
After speaking, Hu Xiaofan handed the relevant information to Song Wen Chief Designer and J-10 Fighter Jet's Design and R&D Team for them to review carefully.
Song Wen Chief Designer and others were flipping through the information and exchanging opinions with the experts around them from time to time.
After a while, he raised his head and said to Hu Xiaofan with satisfaction, "Director Lin, Engineer Hu, the several models of Special Composite Material provided by you 077 Machinery Military Factory all meet our needs."
"We were left with a very difficult decision at the moment."
J-10 Fighter Jet's Design and R&D Team fell into a happy choice for a moment.
The main reason is that the several Special Composite Material models provided by 077 Machinery Military Factory are all excellent and meet the needs of J-10 Fighter Jet.
Suddenly bursts of laughter erupted from the conference room.
Originally J-10 Fighter Jet Design and R&D Team thought that 077 Machinery Military Factory would not have Special Composite Material that perfectly suited his needs.
Unexpectedly, 077 Machinery Military Factory gave them a big surprise.
077 Machinery Military Factory has a variety of Special Composite Material in hand, all of which meet the needs of J-10 Fighter Jet Design and R&D Team.
"Song Wen Chief Designer, you can choose carefully, don't worry."
Then Lin Chenran said jokingly, "Our Special Composite Material is developed very rapidly. Maybe by the time you use it, our Special Composite Material will have new breakthroughs."
Suddenly everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.
It is true that according to the design and development speed of J-10 Fighter Jet, 077 Machinery Military Factory will produce a more advanced Special Composite Material, which may not be designed, developed and produced yet.
The main reason is that J-10 Fighter Jet has a large number of problems to solve and they are very difficult.
