Chapter 579 The first flight of the J-30

-

The 22 Raptor fighter is a single-seat twin-engine high-stealth fourth-generation fighter jointly developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing in the United States. The 22 is the world's first fifth-generation fighter to enter service.

However, due to the high manufacturing cost of the -22, the lack of clear air-to-air combat missions caused by the delay in the planning of the fourth-generation fighter in Russia and China, the export ban of Raptor and other use plans (including the -35 and drone) have all ended the production plan of the -22 early.

In April 2009, the US Department of Defense recommended stopping new orders and finally purchasing 187 fighter jets with approval from Congress. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 resulted in a lack of funds to produce more-22. The launch ceremony of the last-22 on December 13, 2011 was held at the Dobbins Air Force Reserve Base.

The J-30 fighter has been successfully developed and has such excellent performance. The United States has two ways to go. The first is to redevelop a new fighter, which will surpass the J-30 in performance and completely suppress China's J-30 fighter.

However, this is not easy. Even the United States feels that Alexander will basically be impossible in a short period of time to develop a new fighter jet that surpasses the J-30.

The first road is not open, and the second road is to restart the production line of the 22 fighter jets and continue to produce the 22 fighter jets, maintaining an absolute advantage in quantity.

However, the restart of the 22 fighter production line will not be that simple.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, we have more information. After the 22 fighter jet is restarted, the United States will concentrate a lot of manpower and material resources to upgrade the newly produced 22 fighter jets, improve their performance, and try to reduce them. It even catches up with our J-30 fighter jets."

Upgrading based on the existing 22 fighter jets is the most effective method. This is the approach that the United States adopts.

Li Tianfeng said: "Upgrade the 22 fighter jets and improve their performance?"

Zhang Haiping said: "That's right. That's right. Mr. Li, who did this, will the other party quickly narrow the distance with our J-30 fighter jet?"

This is the most concerned issue that Zhang Haiping is most concerned about and the military senior management. Everyone has finally hoped for it and has been looking forward to it. We finally have the most advanced fighter jet in the world. But we don’t want to be happy for a few days and soon lose this leading advantage.

Before developing the J-30 fighter jet, Li Tianfeng had a relatively sufficient study of the three fourth-generation fighter jets today. Therefore, he had a relatively in-depth understanding of the J-20 fighter jets, the US 22 fighter jets, and the Russian T50 fighter jets.

Li Tianfeng has such a high professional level, and this kind of understanding is also very professional. Li Tianfeng said: "Minister Zhang, don't worry! The United States has upgraded the 22 fighter jets, and its performance is certain, but it is almost impossible to catch up with our J-30 fighter jets."

In other words, even if the United States spends a lot of manpower and material resources to vigorously upgrade the 22 fighter jets, at most, the gap with the J-30 fighter jets is slightly narrowed, but it is impossible to catch up with the J-30 fighter jets.

Besides, Li Tianfeng hasn't said that. Your 22 fighter can be upgraded and its performance can be improved. My J-30 fighter can also be upgraded and its performance can be improved.

At the beginning of design and development, Li Tianfeng fully considered the issue of upgrading and improvement of the J-30 fighter jet in the next few years, leaving a lot of room. If necessary, the J-30 fighter jet can be upgraded and improved.

The J-30 fighter currently developed is considered a prototype of the J-30a. If necessary in the future, you can develop and produce the J-30b, J-30, J-30d, etc.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Li, as soon as you say this, I will take a reassurance. I will report to the leaders later. You don't know, the leaders are concerned about this matter."

Li Tianfeng said proudly: "Minister Zhang, tell the leaders that as long as I am here and our Tianfeng Technology Company is here, the US 22 fighter jets will not surpass our J-30 fighter jets. Our advantages will always be maintained and will not be narrowed, but will only become bigger and bigger."

Li Tianfeng knows the development trends of the aviation industry, new design theories, new processes, new materials, etc. in the next few decades, so Li Tianfeng is very confident.

The existence of Li Tianfeng, the leader, coupled with the increasingly large and increasingly powerful Tianfeng Technology Company, Li Tianfeng firmly believes that Tianfeng Technology Company will lead the global aviation industry in the future. In a few years, Tianfeng Technology Company may be the representative of the highest level of the world's aviation industry.

At present, the representative of the world's highest level of aviation industry is Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce and other well-known super aviation industry enterprises. In the future, it will be the world of Tianfeng Technology Company, and Li Tianfeng has enough confidence.

Seeing Li Tianfeng say this, Zhang Haiping said, "Okay, great! Mr. Li, I won't talk to you anymore. I want to report to Mr. Wei as soon as possible. Mr. Wei is still waiting for my news."

After finishing the call with Li Tianfeng, the first thing Zhang Haiping did was to report to General Wei. With Zhang Haiping's report, the senior military leaders took a reassurance and felt very at ease.

So what if I restart the production line of the 22 fighter jet, I still cannot narrow the gap with our J-30 fighter jet.

…………

The emergence of the J-30 fighter jet is gradually unveiling the mystery to the whole world. The United States not only decided to restart the production line of the 22 fighter jet, but also the US Secretary of Defense visited China in person. At this time, the purpose and significance of the US Secretary of Defense visited China are self-evident.

On the morning of the day when the US Defense Minister visited China, the first flight of the J-30 fighter was also ready to begin.

City South Base.

In the factory No. 2, there are several engineering and technical personnel next to this J-30 fighter jet, and everyone is conducting inspections before the first flight of the J-30 fighter jet.

At this moment, there are already many people in the Tianfeng Technology Airport. Today, this airport is the test flight site of the J-30 fighter jet.

President Wei did not break his promise. Even though the US Secretary of Defense personally defended China, President Wei did not stay in the capital to meet the US Secretary of Defense. At this time, the US Secretary of Defense should have another senior military reception from the military.

According to Mr. Wei’s itinerary this morning, he watched the first flight of the J-30 fighter at Tianfeng Technology Company in the morning and met the US Defense Minister again in the afternoon.

General Wei, Li Tianfeng, and Zhang Haiping were the center of several senior military generals. Around everyone were several senior executives of Tianfeng Technology Company, as well as a large number of technical personnel, including a group of design experts, process experts, etc. of the J-30 fighter jet.

Standing in everyone's position, looking towards the distant factory area, you can see the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly plants. These two factories are lined up side by side and are closest to the test airport.

Everyone saw that the door of the No. 2 assembly plant slowly opened, with a width of more than 100 meters and a height of more than 6 floors, was very huge. The door was opened, and under the towing of the towing vehicle, the J-30 fighter slowly left the door of the No. 2 assembly workshop.

"It's out, it's out, everyone, look!"

"J-30 fighter jet! J-30 is here!"

Seeing the J-30 fighter jet being slowly pulled over, many people at the test flight site shouted happily. The senior military generals were also looking at the J-30 fighter jet, with their eyes shining!

Mr. Wei said: "Tianfeng, this is the second time I have seen the J-30 fighter. This fighter seems to be unhappy and I like it the more I look at it."

Before Li Tianfeng could speak, an air force lieutenant general next to him said: "The appearance design of the J-30 fighter jet is completely overwhelming the 22 fighter jet. It is much more beautiful and more refined than the 22 fighter jets in the United States."

A military general next to Zhang Haiping also said: "Yes! I really can't figure out how people from Tianfeng Technology came up with such a design. This kind of beauty makes people deeply attracted to it at a glance."

The test flight had not yet begun, and the appearance of the J-30 fighter jet was so impressive that the military generals who visited the test flight were visited. Li Tianfeng couldn't help but smiled happily.

Li Tianfeng said: "Dear leaders, the J-30 fighter uses such an appearance design, which mainly considers three factors: stealth, maneuverability, and beauty."

It is precisely because of these three aspects that the J-30 fighter jet is first-class and attracts the attention of the audience as soon as it appears. Several senior military generals were even more praised and praised.

Under the traction vehicle, the J-30 fighter jet steadily stopped at one end of the runway. The thousands of meters long runway seemed to be unable to see the end at a glance.

Just now, Lieutenant General of the Air Force said: "Mr. Li, just looking at the construction of the airport, it is not difficult to see that your preparations are very sufficient. With such a wide and long runway, even the world's largest aircraft can take off and land easily here."

There are only two runways at this airport, but the construction of these two runways is very domineering, enough to allow giants like the Airbus a380 to take off and land easily.

Li Tianfeng said: "The airport is a one-time investment, so we will be in place at one time. If we want to develop large aircraft, such as large military transport aircraft, we can conduct test flight experiments here."

Mr. Wei next to him said: "Tianfeng, our military needs a truly large military transport aircraft. If you can develop such a transport aircraft, it will be a great blessing for our military!"

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Wei, I am already considering that when our J-30 fighter jet is successfully developed and can enter mass production, we will start developing this large military transport aircraft."

Mr. Wei nodded happily.

While everyone was chatting, a gasoline car had already refueled the J-30 fighter jet. In the distance, a fighter jet was flying past. It looked like it was about to land at this airport.

Some people who didn't understand the situation were surprised when they saw this fighter plane and looked at the fighter plane getting closer and closer.

This is a J-10s fighter trainer!
