Chapter 456 Let’s go to Gaomi!
The Shenfei factory is very large inside.
The facilities are also very complete.
It's like being completely independent from Fengtian city.
Jiang Chen stayed in the guest house for about three days.
But it’s not like there’s nothing to do in these three days!
For example, Cheng Ziang would take him around the factory area, and even 'units' that required high confidentiality such as R&D centers and front-line workshops were completely open to Jiang Chen.
This is not because Shen Fei has a big heart.
But there was no need to keep Jiang Chen a secret.
To Shen Fei, although Jiang Chen was an outsider, he was a ‘Maike’ who rented two drones to do part-time work.
But Jiang Chen will help Shenfei test fly the most advanced fc-31 Falcon fighter jet in a while.
Even the top-secret Falcon fighter jet was allowed to fly.
What should be kept secret in the mere R&D centers and front-line workshops?
Besides visiting everywhere.
On the first day, Jiang Chen underwent another very detailed physical examination.
This physical examination was much more stringent than the review at Jilin University First Hospital.
Almost all of Jiang Chen's internal organs and body functions were checked.
So the test results didn’t come out until the third day.
Shen Fei even specially invited an expert from the capital who was very authoritative in the field of domestic rehabilitation to help give Jiang Chen a full physical examination and rehabilitation training.
After the expert saw the results of his physical examination.
Simply say, 'This kid is as strong as a calf and does not need any more rehabilitation and recuperation at all.'
Moreover, experts lamented that there is such a perfect body in this world.
If someone hadn't stopped me.
This expert probably took Jiang Chen back to the laboratory and took slices for study.
Of course.
This is just a joke.
these three days.
Several leaders of Shen Fei specially met with Jiang Chen.
These leaders and experts are all well-known in the Republic Air Force.
One or two of them even received the parachute service of the general.
However, these leaders and experts only encouraged Jiang Chen with a few words and did not have an in-depth conversation.
After all, people are too busy.
Although the test flight of the fifth-generation stealth fighter is indeed a long-standing problem, it seems a bit trivial compared with the highly confidential work they are specifically responsible for.
The fourth day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Chen finished his breakfast.
After coming out of the cafeteria, we wandered along a main road.
This time.
Cheng Ziang came over in a hurry.
When he saw Jiang Chen, he was overjoyed and said quickly, "I just went to the guest house to look for you but couldn't find you. I guessed that you were coming to the cafeteria. Come with me quickly. Go to the room and pack your luggage first, and then I will take you to Beijing." Beiling Airport, Director Zhou and the others are waiting for you at Beiling Airport.”
‘Director Zhou’ in his mouth.
He is the deputy director of the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's fc-31 Falcon fighter project team office.
Is specifically responsible for managing logistics.
Similar to Deputy General Ouchi.
Director Zhou Jianhua has also met Jiang Chen several times in the past two days, so Jiang Chen naturally knows him.
"Are we going to Beiling Airport to take a flight now?" Jiang Chen asked as he and Cheng Ziang hurried back to the guest house.
"Yes." Cheng Ziang nodded.
"Then where is the destination? Directly to the Inner Mongolia Test Flight Brigade Base?" Jiang Chen asked again.
"No, go to Gaomi."
"Gaomi? Gaomi City, Qilu Province?"
"Yes."
"Ah, aren't you going to test-fly the fc-31 Falcon? Why are you going to Gaomi City?"
"You are just asking blindly. I just received the order, and I have to go with him, so I am in a state of confusion now."
"Uh! Okay!" Yes.
The test flight of the fc-31 Falcon fighter jet is still at the location of the flight test brigade.
Although the flight test brigade cannot participate in the test flight of this fighter, there is still no problem in providing space and equipment to Shenfei.
And it wasn't that the flight test brigade was unreasonable and wouldn't open the door for Shen Fei.
But the fc-31 Falcon project did not win the bid, so it is only Shenfei's own project. In recent years, the new equipment of the Dongda Air Force has exploded. Therefore, there are not too many aircraft models that need to be tested by the flight test team. How can it have the energy to help Shenyang test the fc-31 Falcon?
Many people think that Shenyang's Falcon became Shenyang's self-funded project because it failed to compete with Chengdu's J-20.
Not really.
What Shen Fei proposed to compete with the J-20 at that time was the J-14 Snow Owl fighter.
Like the J-20 Veyron, the J-14 Snow Owl also uses a canard design to achieve a 65-degree stall angle of attack and high lift three-dimensional performance.
So if we look at mobility alone, the J-14's paper design indicators are higher than those of the J-20 or even the F-22.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But here's the thing.
Why do fifth-generation aircraft need such high maneuverability?
Playing dogfight with enemy planes?
Unless you have a big head, you will use fifth-generation aircraft to fight enemy aircraft with bayonets.
Therefore, because the design concept is relatively conservative and its stealth performance is not as good as that of the J-20, the J-14 Snow Owl lost in the competition.
Shen Fei learned from the pain.
Learn from your failures.
So just a few years later, the second stealth fighter-FC-31 Falcon was re-launched.
The fc-31 Falcon's stealth and avionics systems far exceed those of the J-14 Snow Owl, and its performance and parameters are also on par with the J-20.
But Dongda already has an air superiority heavy stealth fighter.
It would be a waste to have another fighter with the same positioning.
Military expenditures have increased in recent years.
But no matter how many, you can’t make it like this.
not to mention.
The J-20 Veyron is a heavy fighter, while the FC-31 Falcon is only a medium-sized fighter.
Therefore, in terms of hard power, the fc-31 Falcon still lags behind the J-20.
It’s just that Shenfei has invested huge manpower, material resources and financial resources in the fifth-generation aircraft project.
If you just give up.
Not only was the loss huge.
Moreover, in the competition with Cheng Fei, he will be completely defeated and completely reduced to the role of a runner.
That's why Shenfei still raised its own funds to develop this fighter jet even though the Air Force abandoned the bid.
Since the domestic market cannot be opened.
Then open up the international market.
Since the Air Force doesn’t want it.
Then give it to the Navy.
People!
You can't suffocate yourself to death.
Sometimes if you change your thinking, you will soon find a bright road.
The Shenfei factory is adjacent to Beiling Airport.
However, the factory area is relatively large, so it takes about 30 minutes to get to the airport from the factory area.
Jiang Chen hurried back to the guest house room, threw his luggage into the bag, and hurried downstairs with the bag.
After getting in the car.
The driver immediately started the car and drove away.
By the time Jiang Chen and Cheng Ziang arrived at the airport, a Y-9 medium-sized transport plane had already started its engine and was waiting on the apron.
"Director Zhou, classmate Jiang Chen has arrived." Cheng Ziang got out of the car and immediately saluted a middle-aged officer with the rank of colonel.
Jiang Chen also came down carrying the bag.
Come and salute.
Director Zhou returned the greeting and then said, "Get on the plane first. If you have any questions, I will explain them to you after you get on the plane."
It was as if he had already seen through Jiang Chen's little thoughts.
