Chapter 141 [Integration of Fighters and Bombers, Fighter-Bombers! 】
Everyone present was shocked when they heard Xiao Yu's revelation. Not only did they not expect that graphene battery technology would progress so quickly, there would be a breakthrough, but the results would be so amazing.
If the boss is not exaggerating, this is almost directly tapping the potential of graphene batteries, and it is impossible to improve it, otherwise everyone will think that physics will no longer exist.
After Jiang Heng marveled, he seemed to be thinking to himself and said: "If this is true, then it will be no problem that the engine can indeed rely directly on arc ablation to generate working fluid."
In the past, everyone thought it was unreliable because it was unrealistic to use jets for all-electric drives. However, supersonic speeds, let alone hypersonic speeds, cannot be achieved without jets, because chemical fuels are required to burn to produce plasma. Of course, arc ablation refrigerant can also be used, but the problem is that it requires such an amazing power supply.
But if the battery energy storage is super doubled, then it can really take the path of arc ablation refrigerant. The energy is completely sufficient, and it is not a problem to double the range of traditional aviation fuel aircraft.
Xiao Yu looked around at the crowd and said: "In short, the aircraft's battery energy problem is no longer a problem."
The speed of this technological breakthrough is so scary even to those present. If outsiders found out, they would be even more shocked. At this terrifying breakthrough speed, there is no guarantee that the first flight will be achieved in 2023. Complete the impossible dream miracle.
Learning about such a major technological breakthrough also boosted everyone's confidence, but they all felt that they were still too conservative. In the following discussions and exchanges, everyone was bolder than before. Ideas that used to be radical now feel a bit too conservative.
In terms of the design of the all-electric engine, it mainly consists of four parts: air intake system, turbofan engine, cyclic arc pulse detonation engine, and exhaust system.
The engine has four ducts. Under different operating conditions, the central cone moves back and forth to adjust the air flow in the ducts, change cycle parameters, optimize overall efficiency, and generate appropriate thrust and power.
During use, when there is power input, the induction motor starts to start the engine, and there is no need to use ground power to start.
At the end, Jiang Heng said in amazement and excitement: "This indicator is too wild. We dare to think about it and do it. If we really achieve it, this will not be a fighter jet. This is a fighter-bomber. No wonder Mr. Xiao, you decided to use the word "Shenlong" as the code name for this aircraft."
Domestic aircraft have their own set of naming rules. For example, the "Dragon" series is represented by land-based fighter jets, such as the code-named "Raptor" is the J-10 fighter jet, the code-named "Vyron" is the J-20 fighter jet, and the "Shark" series is represented by the J-10 fighter jet. The "Series" represents carrier-based fighter jets, such as the J-15 fighter jet codenamed "Flying Shark", while the "God" series is used for bombers, such as the "Ares" H-6K, "Thor" H-6N and so on.
Obviously, the code name of AVIC Linfei's aircraft uses the word "Shenlong", indicating that this aircraft is positioned as a bomber among fighter jets or a fighter among bombers.
Xiao Yu said: "Bombers were originally a product of World War II. They are increasingly inappropriate in the current hypersonic era. The continuous integration of aircraft capabilities is the future trend. In the past, various types of aircraft were parked on the decks of aircraft carriers. Now, There are fewer and fewer aircraft carrier-based aircraft types, but their capabilities are becoming more integrated. In the past, multiple types of aircraft were required to cooperate and are now integrated into one fighter aircraft.”
Xiao Yu added: "The J20 fighter jet and Y20 transport aircraft have been out for so long, and the H20 bomber fighter has not yet appeared. It makes sense. In the current era of hypersonics and drones, the position of bombers is indeed quite embarrassing. .”
There are many benefits to integration. First, it saves money. With more aircraft models, there are more production lines and higher production costs. Secondly, maintenance costs are high.
There are only seven or eight types of aircraft on one aircraft carrier, while another aircraft carrier only has three types of aircraft after integrating its capabilities. The latter is obviously easier to maintain, has high maintenance efficiency and low maintenance costs. This is why the current aircraft carrier There are only a few types of carrier aircraft.
Xiao Yu's idea is also very simple. If this is the case, then why can't the capabilities of fighter planes and bomber planes be integrated into one aircraft?
The path is indeed very wild, and ordinary people would not dare to think about it, but the wild path has been successfully followed, and that is the new path. AVIC Linfei just doesn't have any baggage. It dares to release any explosive information until it is released.
As a result, the first all-electrically driven aircraft was positioned as a fighter-bomber, and the project was born with the code name "Shenlong".
The reason why it is called a fighter-bomber is that its performance indicators are too strong.
This fighter aircraft must have the hypersonic cruise capability of Mach 5, and can fly at supersonic speeds of Mach 8.33. This speed cannot be matched by any existing air-to-air missile in the world, and the missile cannot even catch up with the aircraft exhaust.
The maximum bomb load of the fifth-generation J-20 fighter has reached an astonishing 15 tons, Ah Mei's Feidian F35 is 7 tons, and Dago's SU-57 fighter is 6 tons. It can be seen that the J20 is also absolute among fifth-generation aircraft. The number one heavy fighter, the maximum bomb load of its own H6k bomber is only 12 tons.
The maximum bomb load of the "Shenlong" fighter is directly up to 28.8 tons. The bomb load of the J20 fighter is already powerful enough. The maximum bomb load of one "Shenlong" fighter is almost as much as the maximum load of the two current J20s. Ammunition.
This is exactly the bomb load of the strategic bomber. The comparison is even more stark. The bomb load of Amalika's B-2 stealth strategic bomber is 23 tons, 22.6 tons to be exact.
The bomb load is more than 5 tons more than that of the old magnesium B-2 bomber. What is this if it is not a fighter bomber?
In terms of range, thanks to the leap-forward super-doubling breakthrough in battery technology, the "Dragon" fighter has a range of up to 12,700 kilometers and a maximum combat radius of 4,550 kilometers, while the J20 fighter has a range of 5,500 kilometers and a maximum combat radius of 2,000 kilometers. Lao Mei's B- 2 stealth bombers are 11,000 kilometers.
This is no longer a combat bomber, this is considered a strategic long-range fighter bomber.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the "Shenlong" fighter jet comes out, the H20 bomber project is likely to be retired early before it comes out. Once the "Shenlong" fighter jet comes out, it can finish all the work of the H20 without missing a beat. Even better, no matter how good the H20 is, it can't kill Ah Mei's F22 fighter, but the "Shenlong" fighter can, and it can knock it down.
Even the current J20 fighter jets will only be able to enjoy the benefits of flying with the "Dragon" fighter jets in the future. From the main table to the children's table, if you have a "Dragon" fighter jet, what kind of bicycles do you need? The H20 has become a mascot after it was built. The probability of the project being shelved is extremely high.

In the following days, after the Shenlong fighter project was approved, it immediately entered the fast lane of test aircraft development.
After all, Xiao Yu requested that the aircraft take to the skies next year. With such a short time, everyone's KPI indicators are under great pressure and the task is heavy.
But every participant in the project is excited. They know very well that they are pursuing an almost impossible dream miracle. If it doesn't make a sound, it will become a blockbuster, and if it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky.
The moment the "Shenlong" fighter jet emerges from the sky, it will surely shock the world like no other. No one dares to imagine how the entire network and the world will explode on that day.
Xiao Yu is very confident. With the technological support of Blue Star World, it is actually just a porter and magic modification. The progress is completely controllable and predictable. The first flight of a fighter plane does not mean that it will enter service and form combat effectiveness in one year. No matter how fast it is, it will take more than three years to deliver it to the Air Force and form combat effectiveness.
But then again, it only took three years from project establishment to delivery to the Air Force to achieve combat effectiveness, which is also quite explosive and shocking.
