Chapter 438: Assembled

The shape of the new aircraft looks more similar to that of an armed

helicopter, with three ion thrusters installed on its tail and wings,

providing this aircraft with a strong power of up to Mach 3.

It is also because of such strong thrust that pilots flying new aircraft must

wear special anti-G suits similar to space suits to withstand them. Otherwise,

the instantaneous overload acceleration during maneuvering will put the pilots

life-threatening.

This kind of three-engine design is very rare in fighter jets. Except for some

brainstorming prototypes or models in sci-fi works, this is the first time a

model with three engines has appeared.

Because of the strong power, Chen Xin did not think too much about the

aerodynamic layout, but with systematic optimization. Although this aircraft

looks a bit square, it still has a good aerodynamic shape, which is not really

powerful. .

Moreover, in appearance, Chen Xin also took into account the need for radar

invisibility, so it looked angular and not so round, but the reflection area

of the entire aircraft in front of the radar was not as good as a piece of

A4 paper.

The main source of power for the aircraft is a 25MW miniature nuclear reactor,

which is installed in the belly for easy maintenance and repair, and the

reactor is directly abandoned in the event of an accident.

Because the ion thruster does not require a large amount of working fluid,

Chen Xin only opened a row of air intakes along the upper edge of the wing.

The flat air inlet can not only ensure the air intake, but also can block dust

and particles to a certain extent, and can also blow away the dust blocked by

the air inlet grille under the action of the airflow. It will not block the

air inlet due to dust accumulation.

The cockpit is a standard single cockpit, and the highly integrated

intelligent control system is sufficient to ensure that the pilot can easily

control the aircraft and perform various tasks.

In addition to the installation of nuclear reactors, the belly of the aircraft

is also the main weapon carrying area. The four integrated weapon mounting

points can carry 16 missiles of various types, and can be stored in the belly

of the aircraft during non-operations. Automatic reloading times.

This is currently impossible for any fighter. All fighters must load their

bombs before they set off for missions. The ground crew hangs the missiles to

the mounting point. No aircraft can load itself while flying in the sky. bomb.

On the one hand, the aircraft has a limited take-off weight and cannot carry

so many missiles. On the other hand, the space of the fuselage is limited. The

automatic loading mechanism and the missile itself need to take up a lot of

space, which is not available when the space of the aircraft is limited. How

to install so many things.

However, because of the ion thruster used in this new aircraft, there is no

need to squeeze a huge fuel tank into the fuselage, nor does it need to

install an engine that is much larger than the ion thruster. Naturally, it has

more load and space. Used to install other things.

Although this set of automatic reloading system can only be loaded once, it is

already a very large enhancement for fighters, which is enough to increase the

combat capabilities of fighters by more than double and allow them to play a

greater role in air combat.

Moreover, Chen Xin also designed another model for the new aircraft, that is,

instead of carrying secondary reloading missiles and automatic loading

mechanisms, instead of replacing it with a wheel-type pylon, carrying eight

bombs for ground bombing. The type of aircraft capable of combating on the

ground.

In addition, under the nose, Chen Xin also designed a magnetic rail gun for

this fighter. With the strong power provided by the nuclear reactor, this

magnetic rail gun is far more powerful than any currently equipped by the Yan

Guo Air Force. A type of aerial cannon, and the ammunition load is far

superior.

As for the other important avionics system on the plane, Chen Xin didn’t make

any new gadgets. He just upgraded the avionics currently used by the Yan Guo

Air Force itself and adjusted it to be better integrated into the new

aircraft. status.

Despite this, the electronic countermeasures capabilities of the new aircraft

are still very good, enough to easily fight against fighters from any country

in the world.

It can be said that this new aircraft is a very good all-rounder, whether it

is air combat or ground attack, even electronic countermeasures and air

reconnaissance, it can be perfectly competent.

After the aircraft is designed, it will naturally be manufactured.

As the chief designer of the new aircraft, Chen Xin is naturally responsible

for related work in this area.

The design drawings were passed to the relevant production units, and various

parts were quickly produced with detailed drawings and investment regardless

of cost, and sent to Chen Xin.

Although Chen Xin can use nano armor to turn into various processing tools to

build the aircraft himself, considering that the aircraft needs to be mass-

produced, Chen Xin still delegated the task of manufacturing parts to others.

In this way, when the country needs to mass-produce the aircraft in the

future, the production units of these parts and components also have relevant

experience, and there is no need to spend time on technical research and

production line adjustments. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The final assembly of the aircraft is a very complicated task. Fortunately,

the combat readiness airport where Chen Xin is located has the conditions to

be able to assemble the aircraft, and the ground technicians are also very

experienced. It took a week to cooperate with Chen Xin, and finally the new

aircraft The bare metal is assembled.

The assembled bare machine is not even painted, and the metal skin of the

entire aircraft is exposed in the original metal color, which looks very

rough.

Moreover, the position of the nose looked like it was missing because the

avionics and the railgun were not installed.

But the tough lines that distinguish the aircraft from other aircraft, its

unique three-engine shape and slender fuselage, all make this aircraft exude a

different kind of beauty.

"Academician, the aircraft has been assembled, but the avionics system and the

railgun have not yet been delivered from the factory, and we can't paint the

fuselage here." A technician stood beside Chen Xin and reported to him. Look

at the assembly situation of this aircraft.

Regarding the lack of avionics and machine guns, Chen Xin nodded clearly,

which was in his expectation.

"The avionics and the cannon are not in a hurry. These two parts are more

difficult to manufacture. It is understandable that the construction period is

slower. Install the avionics fairing first." Chen Xin casually ordered, while

checking the status of the aircraft: " Where is the painting going to be done?

Are the pilots ready for the test flight? Where is the pilot's anti-G suit?"

"The pilot has been selected and will come to receive relevant operation and

driving training tomorrow. The anti-G suit has been asked before, and the

manufacturer's reply is that it will be completed within three days." The

technician heard Chen Xin's question and turned over. The record in hand

quickly gave the answer: "As for painting, we have contacted the painting

factory in Jincheng, and they will complete the painting work."
