Chapter 436: R & D tasks

Through the flight test of Yun9, the two transformation schemes proposed by

Chen Xin have also been recognized.

Although the conditions in the stratosphere still do not allow airplanes to

fly, at least there is a modification plan proposed by Chen Xin that allows

airplanes to fly in the troposphere, which is already extremely good news for

the current situation.

Maintaining the aircraft in the troposphere will encounter severe convective

weather compared to the stratosphere, and will consume more fuel due to

various conditions, but this is better than not being able to fly or flying

the entire aircraft for a major overhaul. Good coming.

The cheaper of the two methods is naturally to modify the air intake of the

aircraft. After all, if the electric drive compensation is added, the engine

must be modified, both in terms of time and cost.

So in the end, after some discussion and research, the senior management

decided to adopt the method of reforming the intake duct.

Moreover, this method has also been improved in the hands of the researchers.

It is only necessary to cut a hole under the original air inlet and connect

the new air inlet duct to it. It does not require the entire air inlet duct to

be heavy. do.

The final product looks like an additional plug-in, but in terms of effect, it

is very practical.

As for the electric drive compensation plan for the modified engine, although

this plan is very good, it was not implemented in the end. It was only decided

to transform one or two for the research of electric drive engines.

After all, compared to the air filter transformation program, the nuclear-

powered electric drive program is obviously more valuable and more attractive.

However, these studies were not handed over to Chen Xin, but to several

research institutes that originally studied aircraft engines. The design

drawings of the new aircraft prepared by Chen Xin were also transferred to the

research department for research and trial production.

This is not a national request, but Chen Xin took the initiative to propose

that he is not responsible for the development of the new aircraft.

After all, this is a very time-consuming and laborious work, and he has done

all the drawings. As long as he builds the airplane according to the drawings,

he can build the airplane.

The work after that is nothing more than adjusting or improving various

problems of the prototype, which requires a lot of time for professionals to

complete, and indeed does not require Chen Xin to do it himself.

Although he does it, it only takes one or two upgrades to solve all the

problems.

Of course, the state did not let Chen Xin just idle, but instead commissioned

him to develop more advanced new fighters.

In today's environment, the country's military strength has of course also

been weakened.

The army is fortunate. Although the maneuvering power is limited, ordinary

soldiers can still exert sufficient combat capabilities. Although the offense

is insufficient, it is not a problem to defend against the enemy's offensive.

Especially after Chen Xin provided the exoskeleton protective clothing, the

military is mass producing this new equipment. At present, most of the main

combat troops have been installed, which greatly improves the combat

effectiveness of the military.

Although without the aid of mechanized equipment, the individual combat

capability is better than before the disaster, enough to fight against any

ground forces.

Although in this environment, neighboring countries do not have the ability to

attack Yan Nation, this does not mean that the military can relax its

vigilance.

It's just that although the army still has the power of World War I, the navy

and air force are about to be shaved.

The Air Force’s problem is mainly the problem of aircraft engines, whether it

is a jet or a propeller aircraft, it is impossible to fly in dust-filled air.

However, relying on the new air filter and improvement plan provided by Chen

Xin, coupled with the gradual recovery of the environment, and the gradual

unblocking of the Air Force’s aircraft, the combat power has finally been

restored to a certain extent, so that the amount of money cultivated will not

be more than gold. The precious pilots are so deserted.

But the problem facing the Navy is much more serious.

The rising coastline engulfed the navy’s original ports and bases, which

undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the navy.

Not to mention the damage caused by the global fire after the meteorite impact

to the unavoidable warships. After losing the coastal ports, the warships were

damaged and even repaired could not even find a suitable place to repair.

The subsequent sudden drop in temperature has even frozen the sea, making all

warships useless.

In the face of a few meters of ice, even a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier

can hardly play its role. Professional icebreakers can't break through a few

meters of ice.

This makes the Navy really turn into a Marine Corps.

Of course, Chen Xin knew something about this situation. Even if he didn't

know it, people in the military would tell him the news, and he wouldn't let

him, who is most likely to solve the problem, be unaware of the situation.

But at present, what Chen Xin can solve is the problem of the air force

aircraft. Although it is not impossible for the navy's warships, the current

situation ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ to move the warships is too much in terms of

cost and time.

Chen Xin doesn't want to move those tens of thousands of tons of steel

creations for the time being, but it is quite a good choice to help the Air

Force design several new aircraft.

Although under the current circumstances, the Air Force’s helicopters and some

propeller aircraft can gradually recover their flying capabilities, the jet

aircraft are still unable to fly.

It is not only the problem of engine intake, but also the problem of dust and

particles in the air when the aircraft itself is flying at supersonic speeds.

You must know that even an ordinary civil airliner can be knocked down by a

bird, let alone a fighter in a supersonic state?

Even if there are no flying birds in the sky now, those small particles and

dust can still cause great damage to the aircraft.

This point has been seen from the previous test flight of Yun9, but it flew in

the stratosphere for a short period of time. After coming down, the fuselage

was full of small scratches, and even the propellers were damaged.

Faced with this situation, the military and the high level of the country

naturally hope to have an aircraft that can cope with the current situation.

This research and development task was originally competing for several

domestic aircraft research and development institutions, and they have begun

to have some research and development intentions and ideas, but Chen Xin

couldn’t bear to smash a mature quadrotor in seven days, which is still like

an Osprey helicopter. Such a tilting rotor!

This is currently the fastest and most technologically advanced helicopter on

the Blue Star, while Chen Xin's new aircraft is more advanced than the Osprey.

There is no way for high-level officials to ignore Chen Xin's existence, and

the military strongly recommends Chen Xin to develop new aircraft.

In their opinion, Chen Xin must be able to complete this task in a short

period of time, which is much faster than it takes several years or even

decades to deliver results to other R&D institutions.
