The shape of the new aircraft looks more like an armed helicopter. Three ion thrusters are installed on its tail and wings, providing the aircraft with strong power that can reach Mach 3.
It is also because of such strong thrust that pilots flying new aircraft must wear special anti-gravity suits similar to space suits to withstand it. Otherwise, the instantaneous overload acceleration during maneuvers will put the pilot's life in danger.
This three-engine design is very rare on fighter jets. Except for some imaginative prototypes or models in science fiction works, this is the first time a model with three engines has appeared.
Because of its strong power, Chen Xin did not think too much about the aerodynamic layout. However, with systematic optimization, although this aircraft looks a bit square, it still has a good aerodynamic shape and will not be really powerful. .
¡° Moreover, in terms of appearance, Chen Xin also took into account the need for radar invisibility, so it looks angular and less rounded, but the reflection area of ??the entire aircraft in front of the radar is not as good as a piece of A4 paper.
The main power source of the aircraft is a 25MW micro nuclear reactor, which is installed in the belly of the aircraft for easy maintenance and repair, and the reactor can be abandoned directly 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 inlets along the upper edge of the wing.
The flat air inlet can not only ensure air intake, but also play a certain blocking role in dust and particles, and can also blow away the sand and dust blocked by the air inlet grille under the action of air flow. The air inlet will not be blocked due to dust accumulation.
The cockpit is a standard single-person cockpit, and the highly integrated intelligent control system is enough to ensure that the pilot can easily control the aircraft and perform various tasks.
In addition to installing the nuclear reactor, the belly of the aircraft is also the main weapons 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 for secondary use during non-combat operations. Automatic loading.
This is currently not possible for any fighter jets. All fighter jets must be loaded before setting off to perform missions. The ground crew will hang the missiles on the hardpoints. 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 in the fuselage is limited. The automatic loading mechanism and the missile itself need to occupy a lot of space. This is not possible when the aircraft space is limited. There is no way to hold so many things.
However, because this new aircraft uses ion thrusters, it does not need to insert a huge fuel tank into the fuselage, nor does it need to install an engine that is much larger than the ion thrusters, so it naturally has more load and space. Used to install other things.
Although this automatic loading system can only complete one reload, it is already a great improvement for fighter jets, which is enough to more than double the combat capabilities of fighter jets, allowing them to play a greater role in air combat.
Moreover, Chen Xin also designed another mode for the new aircraft, that is, it does not carry secondary loading missiles and automatic loading mechanisms, but replaces it with a rotating pylon, carrying eight bombs for ground bombing. A machine capable of conducting ground combat.
In addition, Chen Xin also designed a rail gun for this fighter under the nose. Relying on the strong power provided by the nuclear reactor, this rail gun is far more powerful than anything currently equipped by the Yanguo Air Force. It's an aerial cannon, and its bomb load is far superior.
As for another important avionics system on the aircraft, Chen Xin did not come up with anything new. He just upgraded the avionics currently used by the Yanguo Air Force and adjusted it to be better integrated into the new aircraft. state.
Despite this, the electronic countermeasures capabilities of the new aircraft are still very good, enough to easily fight against fighter jets from any country in the world.
It can be said that this new aircraft is an all-rounder with excellent performance. It can be perfectly competent in air combat, ground attack, and even electronic countermeasures and aerial reconnaissance.
After the aircraft design is completed, it naturally needs to be manufactured.
As the chief designer of the new aircraft, Chen Xin is naturally responsible for relevant work in this area.
Passing the design drawings to the relevant production units, various parts and components were quickly produced with detailed drawings and investment regardless of cost, and sent to Chen Xin.
Although Chen Xin can completely use nano-armor to turn into various processing tools to build the aircraft himself, considering that this aircraft needs to be mass-produced, Chen Xin still hands over the task of manufacturing parts to others.others.
¡°In this way, when the country needs to mass-produce this aircraft in the future, these production units that manufacture parts will also have relevant experience, and will no longer need to spend time on technical research and production line adjustments.
The final assembly of an aircraft is a very complicated task. Fortunately, the combat readiness airport where Chen Xin is located has the conditions to assemble the aircraft, and the ground crew technicians are also experienced. It took Chen Xin a week to finally assemble the new aircraft. The bare metal assembly has been completed.
The assembled bare machine has not even been painted. The metal skin of the entire aircraft is just exposed in the original metal color and looks very rough.
And because the avionics and railgun were not installed at the nose, it looked like a piece was missing.
But the aircraft¡¯s tough lines, unique three-engine shape and slender fuselage that are different from other aircraft all give this aircraft a different kind of beauty.
"Academician, the aircraft has been assembled, but the avionics system and railgun have not been sent from the factory yet, and we cannot do the painting of the fuselage here." A technician stood next to Chen Xin and reported to him Looking at the assembly of the aircraft in front of me.
Regarding the lack of avionics and cannons, Chen Xin nodded clearly. This was what he expected.
"There is no rush for the avionics and cannon. These two parts are more difficult to manufacture. It is understandable that the construction period will be slower. Install the avionics fairing first." Chen Xin gave casual instructions while checking the status of the aircraft: " Where is the painting going to be done? Are the test pilots ready? Where are the pilots' anti-G suits?"
"The pilots have been selected and will come tomorrow to receive relevant operation and driving training. We have asked about the anti-Dutch suit before, and the manufacturer's reply is that it will be completed within three days." After hearing Chen Xin's question, the technician turned over The record in hand quickly gave the answer: "As for the spray painting, we have contacted the spray paint factory in Jincheng, and they will complete the spray painting work."
