Chapter 260 JH-7MLU?
"Well, it's nice to meet you too, but I don't know what to call you yet..."
Although the other person's tone and expression were very cordial, Xu Yang still felt a little uncomfortable around him. Inexplicably cold.
"Maybe it's because I have gotten used to the weather in Jinling during this period. The temperature here in Haojing is a bit low. It seems that I will need to add another layer of clothes tomorrow..."
She had to think like this in her heart Tell yourself.
"Yao Mengna is Chang Haonan's senior sister. When we were working in Shengjing, we heard him mention you before, so I have always wanted to see the abilities of my senior."
Yao Mengna still maintained her attitude when introducing herself. Wearing the decent smile just now.
"It doesn't hurt to meet him, but this...Dr. Yao, it seems that he is not in charge of the same project as us..."
Xu Yang was keenly aware that the other party had an interest in him. A little bit of hostility, although I don't know where it came from, I still gave him a calm reply almost relying on intuition.
The main reason is that the title "senior" sounds a bit harsh for no reason.
She is obviously less than 30 years old, so when she is called like this, she sounds like she is seventy or eighty...
Chang Haonan, standing aside, only thought that the two of them were a bit familiar at first, but as they looked at each other, I found that the atmosphere didn't seem right.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.
But he instinctively thought that he should do something:
"Speaking of which, why don't we get in the car first? After all, we still have testing tasks to do tomorrow..."
Chang Haonan originally wanted to say that he had to go to his residence to rest early today, but Yao Mengna took it directly;
"Junior brother, do you want to take a look at our modification progress?"
If you leave it alone For others, Jie Feng Washing must have to eat, but Yao Mengna knew Chang Haonan's character.
When you are on a mission, you will most likely be turned down if you invite him to dinner.
But it would definitely not be possible to ask him to go to the assembly shop to see the aircraft.
"Modification progress?"
Chang Haonan's reaction was not at all what Yao Mengna expected:
"It has only been a little more than three weeks since I left Haojing, and you have already started to modify it?"< br>
This is actually a bit of a double standard.
After all, he himself has achieved similar efficiency more than once.
But now that I hear others say this, it is indeed a bit outrageous if I think about it carefully.
It's so damn fast...
"This speed is really good compared to normal, but it's still a lot behind compared to you, junior brother..."
Yao Mengna said as she opened the car door and motioned for Chang Haonan to sit in.
Then he followed suit and sat in the back row.
This frees up the co-pilot.
Unlike the general situation where the boss is in the right back seat, powerful organizations such as the military usually regard the co-pilot as the main seat, because the officer who takes the car out will usually sit here.
Xu Yang seemed to know this difference, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the car window.
"I'll go to the guest house with them first. See you tomorrow during the test."
In fact, so far, she has only enjoyed the smoothness of working with a genius.
Although I am also very interested in the aircraft mentioned by Yao Mengna, after all, it is not within my professional scope. I can only take a look when I go there, so it is better to have a good rest and reserve enough energy for tomorrow's test task.
After a brief farewell, the car in which Chang Haonan and Yao Mengna were riding quickly separated from the others and drove towards the final assembly workshop of Factory 172.
Soon, a brightly lit factory building came into view, with two huge fighter-bombers parked quietly inside.
The JH-7 is actually a very huge aircraft, almost the same size as the Su-27. Compared with the J-8C, which has the same dual-engine single vertical tail with air inlets on both sides, the length is similar, but the overall appearance is It is more solid and powerful, especially the two extremely thick splayed rocker landing gears on the left and right. Compared with the latter's straight strut landing gear installed under the wings, it has a more murderous feel. It’s just that the two planes now really don’t show much murderous intent——
One of them has been almost completely disassembled, leaving only a basic body. Although the other one is more complete, many key parts such as wings have not yet been installed.
Chang Haonan could tell almost at a glance that the progress of the latter aircraft was actually faster, because it was already very different from the previously mass-produced JH-7.
"Have you modified the JH-7's ability to receive refueling in the air?"
He asked, looking at an aerial refueling pipe on the right front of the nose of the aircraft.
“Yes, although the current range is already good, the lift-to-drag ratio of this aircraft is still not very good. Users reported that the range will be severely reduced when the combat mount is mounted.”
< br>
While explaining, Yao Mengna got out of the car immediately after Chang Haonan, and then slammed the door: "Although we don't have many tankers in total now, after discussing with Mr. Tang, we decided to keep them for the troops. Just a thought."
Obviously, at least during this period of time, she can already be her own person and talk and laugh directly with the model chief engineer.
The two walked into the assembly workshop one after the other.
As the distance from the plane narrowed, Chang Haonan quickly saw more details
The current installation method of this fuel pipe is relatively simple. It is similar to the 9-17 MiG 29SMT. A foldable fuel pipe set is installed directly outside the original skin, forming a relatively obvious bulge. Rather than the more common design that can be completely retracted into the machine head.
However, it is definitely better than the fixed filling pipe.
More importantly, there was no such incident in the timeline before his rebirth. The JH-7 never had the ability to receive fuel in the air from the beginning to the end.
Chang Haonan never even saw the JH-7 after his rebirth, nor did he talk about improvement plans or anything like that.
This means that China's aircraft upgrade project has changed from its previous life without his direct intervention.
It also means that his hard work over the past six months has not been in vain.
It has indeed led to the development of a large number of engineering and technical personnel.
In addition, the integrated windshield that was originally seen on the JH-7A also appeared in advance, replacing the original three-piece windshield with poor visibility. Considering that during the August 3rd Project, Yao Mengna I have already done a similar job once, so I should be very familiar with it.
“Apart from the fuel pipe and canopy, are there any other improvements?”
The completion level of these two aircraft is really not high, and Chang Haonan can’t see any more clues. .
"Of course, we are currently planning to upgrade the original 232H radar to enhance its anti-interference capability and add a continuous wave illuminator. The JH-7 is now the only treasure in the Navy's hands that is second only to the two J-8Cs in terms of performance. Only if they can fire semi-active bombs..."
"In addition, these two aircraft will also upgrade the 1553B bus and distributed weapons management system, and replace the monochrome LCD display in the cockpit with a color one."< br>
For the first time, Yao Mengna felt that she had endless things to say in front of Chang Haonan, and she no longer had to be an almost unilateral listener like in the past.
Next to me, Chang Haonan was already attracted by this last sentence.
Having a data bus means that the aircraft’s mounting capabilities can be easily upgraded to become a qualified multi-functional air tactical platform.
And the compact version of the electronic jamming pod they are about to test will need just such a platform in the future.
“So this is the template for the new JH-7 model?”
Chang Haonan raised his hand and patted the antenna of the 232H radar lightly.
“Of course not. After the Turbofan 9 can be mass-produced, the new J-H7A will have more upgrades, including a new model of radar, four-redundancy flight control system, etc., now it is just On the basis of the original, a technical verification will be done for the improved model. If there are no problems, the old aircraft may be gradually upgraded to this standard during the maintenance period. "
Yao Mengna replied.
"So these two aircraft can't be called JH-7A now?"
"Yes, if they must have a different name, then refer to the habits of foreign military, they can be called JH-7MLU, Mid -LifeUpgrade, mid-life upgrade”
