The news of the successful launch of the fighter project was like a gust of wind, and soon spread throughout Tianfeng Technology Company, and many employees talked about it with relish.

"J-30 Feilong! Haha..."

"Flying Dragon is OK, I like this code name."

"J-30 fighter jet, Feilong! This sense of accomplishment is simply amazing!"

“…”

The employees were very fond of talking about the J-30 fighter jets as if they were during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. Obviously, not only Li Tianfeng liked the J-30, but everyone also liked it very much.

Of course, everyone knows the basic confidentiality. It was just a hot discussion in the factory, and the news did not spread to Tianfeng Technology Company.

While everyone was discussing the J-30 fighter jets, Li Tianfeng, Zhou Yinding, Lei Yong and Li Dawu were in the conference room. Everyone reported to Zhang Haiping about the J-30 fighter jets, and Zhang Haiping listened to the report on behalf of the military.

The J-30 fighter, the fourth-generation fighter...the aircraft is stealthy single-seat heavy fighter, and the overall technical level and comprehensive performance are above the f22 fighter. The main design parameters are as follows:

Captain: 20.18 meters.

Wingspan: 15.8 meters

Machine height: 5.16 meters

Empty weight: 15,600 kg

Maximum takeoff weight: 39,800 kg

Thrust: Two turbofan 25b engines, 2x128 kN, 2x178 kN (after-force)

Maximum speed: Mach 3.5

Range: 2800 nautical miles

Battle radius: 560 nautical miles

Practical ceiling: 22,000 meters

radar……

...

Compared with the US F22 fighter, the aircraft is slightly larger in size, but the air weight of the aircraft is significantly lighter. For example, the air weight of the F22 fighter is 19,700 kilograms, while the air weight of the J-30 fighter is only 15,600 kilograms, which is a weight of more than 4 tons.

It can be so lightweight. In addition to using advanced design technology, the J-30 fighter uses a large number of Hercules materials and non-metal composite materials.

The f22 fighter jet also widely uses polymer composite materials (km) of hot-processed plastic (12%) and artificial fibers (10%). The proportion of composite materials (km) used on mass production machines (km) reaches 35%.

The J-30 fighter jets widely use "Hercules" materials and various composite materials, and the proportion of these materials (by weight) reaches an astonishing 57%, far higher than that of the f22 fighter jets.

If advanced and large-scale airborne equipment were not used, such as advanced phase-based radar and advanced fire control software and hardware equipment, these things accounted for a considerable weight. Otherwise, the air weight of the J-30 fighter would be lighter.

The air weight is lighter, so the J-30 fighter can carry more fuel, more weapons and ammunition, especially the number of missiles.

In other words, compared with the F22 fighter, the J-30 fighter has stronger firepower, stronger strike capability, longer range and larger combat radius.

In terms of range, the maximum range of the J-30 fighter reaches 2,800 sea surface, the maximum range of the f22 fighter is 1,600 nautical miles, which is 1,200 nautical miles more, and the combat radius is also larger than that of the f22 fighter.

The J-30 fighter uses a very advanced aerodynamic layout and has super cruising capabilities. Under the strong thrust of the two turbofan 25b engines, it can continue to cruise at a speed of Mach 3.

In addition, airborne radar, fire control system, avionics system, stealth performance, etc. also surpass the F22 fighter jets in all aspects.

Li Tianfeng not only reported the performance parameters of the J-30 fighter jet to Zhang Haiping, but also reported the research and development of the J-30 fighter jet radar, fire control system, avionics system, etc.

After listening to the report, Zhang Haiping's understanding of the J-30 fighter jet was more comprehensive and in-depth. Zhang Haiping said happily: "Mr. Li, I really look forward to such an advanced fighter jet. No, not only I am looking forward to it, but the entire military executives are looking forward to it very much."

Li Tianfeng smiled slightly and said confidently: "Minister Zhang, it is estimated that in another one or two months, our fighter jet will be fully designed and will enter the trial production stage after passing the comprehensive design review."

"It's great, I didn't think that your development is progressing so quickly." Zhang Haiping was happy. "Mr. Li, I heard that the design of airborne radar and fire control system is also under the guidance of the technical director of Tianfeng Technology Company."

Li Tianfeng said proudly: "Minister Zhang, that is a must!"

In terms of design technology, the relevant research and development units and manufacturing enterprises only cooperate. In Li Tianfeng's view, it is necessary. On the one hand, Li Tianfeng has this technical strength, and on the other hand, Li Tianfeng is responsible for the comprehensive design. The design of these things must also be led by Li Tianfeng.

After visiting Tianfeng Technology Company and listening to Li Tianfeng's report, Zhang Haiping happily returned to the capital and was expected to give a special report to the senior military officials overnight.

………

The project of Tianfeng Technology Company's export-type fighter jet was also very smooth. On the one hand, Tianfeng Technology Company's reputation is there, and on the other hand, I heard that senior military officials have greeted relevant departments.

Export-type fighter jets, the king of the third-generation fighter jets, aircraft model J-18!

The J-18 model has always been suspended and this time it has been used as the model of Tianfeng Technology, an export-type fighter jet.

Compared with the confidentiality and low-key nature of the J-30 fighter jet, the development of the J-18 fighter jet is obviously much more high-profile, almost open, and there is special publicity on the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company.

On the official website, all pictures, basic design parameters, and main performance of the J-18 fighter are announced, and everything is clear. For a time, the J-18 fighter was very popular and famous.

Discussions about the J-18 fighter jets are very popular on the Internet, especially in some military forums.

"I didn't think that Tianfeng Technology Company will start the development of a new fighter so soon!"

"From the perspective of design parameters and design performance, the J-18 fighter is very advanced, much more advanced than the F16 fighter."

"In front of the J-18 fighter jet, the f16 is nothing, it's incomparable!"

"Yes, among all the third-generation fighter jets, no fighter jet can compare to the J-18 fighter jet."

“…”

Domestic websites and military forums are very popular, and international attention is not small. Not only major military powers pay attention to the J-18 fighter jet, but some aviation industry companies also pay attention to this fighter jet.

A famous aviation industry enterprise in Western countries.

Speaking of this company, it is very famous. When it comes to the fighter jets they developed, it is even more famous. It is such a famous company, with several senior executives sitting together and talking about the J-18 fighter jet.

"It seems that this is China's main fighter jet, positioning the most advanced third-generation fighter jet, and its target positioning is very clear."

"Well, it seems that China is preparing to develop this new fighter aircraft to equip the army, and form a situation of combining the fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft with their J-20 fighter jets. It is ready to comprehensively improve their air force strength."

"Yes, I think the same plan is the same, but it's very puzzling. This time it's so high-profile. Based on my understanding of China, the other party is usually mysterious and secret, and it's very strict. This time it's basically open."

“…”

These senior executives are talking about the J-18 fighter jet and admire this fighter jet in their hearts. They think it is the most advanced and has the best comprehensive performance among the third-generation fighter jets. It is just a bit confusing that Tianfeng Technology Company is so high-profile and does not need to keep it confidential at all.

Of course, Tianfeng Technology Company does not need to keep it confidential, because it is an export-type fighter, and the publicity work is extensive, the better. However, on the website of Tianfeng Technology Company, it is not explicitly stated that this is a special export-type.

When the J-18 fighter jet was famous and was in full swing, Tashir and his party from Pakistan came to Tianfeng Technology Company again. This time, the one who accompanied Tashir and others was no longer the former Major General Wang, but Lieutenant General Liu of the General Staff.

Li Tianfeng is not unfamiliar with Lieutenant General Liu. He met once and the accompanying staff was even higher, which shows that Tashir's visit to Tianfeng Technology Company this time was completely substantial.

Pakistani senior management has confirmed joint research and development with Tianfeng Technology Company and is preparing to order the J-18 fighter jet. Tahir's arrival this time is a complete routine and things are for sure.

It was the third time that the two sides had formal meeting. After a greeting, everyone talked and laughed in the reception room. After a while, the topic gradually became substantial.

Lieutenant General Liu said: "Mr. Li, this time the Pakistani side came with full sincerity. The 1.2 billion research fund you mentioned before is not a problem."

Tashir said: "Yes, we are very satisfied with the J-18 fighter jet. Your Excellency the President has officially authorized it. This time I am the plenipotentiary representative and formally negotiate with you."

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Tashir, I am very happy to cooperate with you. The J-18 fighter, as we negotiated last time, will be sold to you at 26 million US dollars, but the advance payment will be no less than 30%.

Tashier said: "Mr. Li, there is no problem. In addition, I heard that the number '8' is an auspicious number. We will give 1.28 billion research funds."

Li Tianfeng was happy, but he didn't expect that Pakistan also understood China's populism. "8" is indeed an auspicious number. The other party took the initiative to add 80 million US dollars, which was obviously a sign of kindness, but Li Tianfeng liked it.

Li Tianfeng stood up and shook hands with Tashir, "Welcome your country to be the first user of the J-18 fighter jet!"

Tashir stood up and said happily: "Mr. Li, happy cooperation."

The matter was basically settled. Next, the two parties discussed some specific details in detail, and then the two parties signed a formal contract.

Pakistan ordered 160 J-18 fighter jets from Tianfeng Technology Company, with a total contract value of US$41.6 billion, equivalent to about RMB 26 billion.

This is a big contract!

After signing his name on the contract, Li Tianfeng was delighted and did not think that Pakistan ordered 160 J-18 fighter jets in one go.
