Take Off My Aviation Era - Chapter 1689

As soon as these words came out, the princes and nobles present immediately whispered to each other.

UAVs are used in air combat!

This concept is not mentioned before. As early as the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union had fantasized about using drones to conduct air warfare. They also conducted a series of tests and verifications for this purpose, but the conditions at the time did not allow it, so the United States And the Soviet Union successively abandoned the practical research of this concept.

However, in the theoretical circle, the research on the application of UAVs to modern air combat has not stopped, but it is limited to theory.

Of course, the only sci-fi blockbuster produced in Hollywood so far has promoted drone air combat, and because of this, when Zhuang Jianye put forward the concept of “loyal wingman” in front of many princes and nobles, they started to each other after being shocked. Ask, is this kind of thing that only appears in science fiction works, is it reliable?

Not to mention these general laymen, veterans such as Hamilton and Faisal, are also the first time in their lives to see someone really apply the concept of drone air combat to practice.

So when they listened to Zhuang Jianye’s words, they were even more surprised than the princes and nobles.

You know that this is something that even Americans only exist on the theoretical level. Zhuang Jianye’s China’s take-off has been realized?

“What do you think?”

When the two looked at the TNB-31 “loyal wingman” for a while and didn’t know what to do, Prince Salman, who was sitting in front, turned his head and asked them softly.

No way, Prince Salman is a complete layman in aviation technology. Although he has general aviation qualifications and has tried to fly fighter jets, he still belongs to Xiaobai’s level compared with those senior aviation technical experts.

“This…” Faisal hesitated after hearing this.

By the time Hamilton acted very calmly: “Yes, your Highness, although the concept of drone air combat has existed for a long time, no one can do it so far, because it’s not just a question of whether drones can fly. It is the issue of coordination between drones and manned aircraft, which involves a large number of avionics, intelligent control, data link transmission, and some technical issues in the field of artificial intelligence, which are far beyond the scope of ordinary aviation engineering.

Because of this, even super giants such as Lockheed Martin, Knopp, and Boeing in the United States are afraid to try this because the complexity is unimaginable. A bad, coordinated drone will not It is beneficial to the manned fighter aircraft, and it will also interfere with the normal operation of the fighter aircraft. This aspect was mentioned in the forward-looking technical report of Lockheed Martin a year ago…”

Hamilton paused when he said that, unscrewed the high-end mineral water on the side, took a big sip to moisturize his throat, and then said: “So I personally don’t like China Ascendas’ loyal wingman, because it is not a simple one. The issue of drones and manned aircraft flying into the sky is a matter of close coordination. I feel that with the technological strength of China’s take-off, it is impossible to do so perfectly!”

Hamilton’s remarks are quite polite. After all, he is a traditional British gentleman. He has to talk a little bit about self-cultivation. In fact, deep down in his heart, this guy is almost ashamed of “loyal wingman”.

No way, it was Hamilton who knew too much about the careful thinking of Middle Eastern princes and nobles like Prince Salman.

This is the same as they are making beautiful women, no matter what their taste, they are always disgusted by them who take the initiative to come forward, thinking that those vulgar fans are not worthy of the noble guns on their bodies.

On the contrary, those beautiful girls who can remain mysterious and be careful so that you can’t always guess the true thoughts of the beauty can make them shine. They think this girl is interesting, you can do it, and then just The hair is out of control, can’t wait to die.

Now Zhuang Jianye is playing this trick, isn’t it just the trick that the new machine green tea lady has done to turn a rookie into a phoenix?

What kind of “loyal wingman” concept is not meant to attract silly princes like Prince Salman, who have a little knowledge of aviation technology, but feel that they are very high-sighted, and only buy the expensive ones, and don’t buy the right ones?

If there is nothing to do with their British BEA Systems Company, the problem is that if their flagship products are not involved, can the “Typhoon” fighters be successfully exported!

We must know that since the “gust” in France and the “typhoon” in Europe formed a two-strong pattern on the Europa continent, the two companies have begun to look for a breakthrough in export sales.

There is no way, the R&D investment in the past ten years has caused the European countries to be overwhelmed. They are eager to sell this advanced fighter, so as to dilute the procurement costs of various countries and recover the R&D funds.

Especially the United Kingdom, whose strength has declined severely, and hopes to make a fortune with the “Typhoon” fighter, otherwise it will not break the developed countries’ prohibition on selling aviation product manufacturing plants to developing countries that do not have the basis for aviation manufacturing. In accordance with the unspoken rules of related technology, the “Jet Stream” 31 small aircraft that was eliminated on hand was transferred to Saudi Arabia.

Isn’t it just to keep the big dog like Saudi Arabia as much as possible and sell their own “typhoon”.

As for Prince Salman’s sitting on the ground, it’s not a problem. As long as Saudi Arabia buys a few more “typhoons,” the bottom line of a British gentleman can be so low that you despair.

Unexpectedly, the way that Prince Salman solved the problem was not to use money, but to pull a friend called China Tengfei to play with his strength.

At first, Hamilton was not too scared. After all, he was not Boeing or Airbus. His understanding of China’s take-off was only that he was an established aerospace parts supplier, and by the way, he did something unpopular high-end in private. Underground trading of materials and some restricted products.

As for the finished aircraft model, I have seen it several times in the past airshows, but I have never seen any external sales records. This makes Hamilton feel that China’s take-off is as great as he has in mind. Like most East Asian manufacturing companies, they are just low-end supporting factories that work for their developed countries.

Unexpectedly, in this secret special session held by China Ascendas for the princes and nobles of the Middle East, Zhuang Jianye not only demonstrated the JNB-17C advanced trainer with the level of three generations, but also took out the TNB-31 “loyal wingman.”

Hamilton, the JNB-17C senior trainer, is not worried. After all, these princes and nobles in the Middle East have a higher eye than the top, and all the top equipment in the United States can be seen. How the JNB-17C senior trainer is still a little worse.

But the TNB-31 “loyal wingman” is different. The concept that only exists in science fiction suddenly shines into reality, just like Lamborghini used all-carbon fiber and Ferrari installed 16 cylinders. The souls of princes and nobles can really pay the bill directly if they can’t make an impulse.

After all, you only buy expensive ones, and what you don’t buy right is not irony or jokes. These silly princes can really do it.

Therefore, it is strange that Hamilton can say good things to Zhuang Jianye.

Hearing this, Prince Salman frowned, and immediately looked at his aviation technical consultant Faisal. Faisal hesitated, but before he could speak, Zhuang Jianye said loudly in the microphone: “Presumably everyone They all have doubts about the concept of “loyal wingman”. This is human nature. The first time I heard about it, I would beat a drum in my heart. Is this thing reliable?

But no matter whether it is reliable or not, I only believe in one sentence. Actual combat is the only criterion for testing concepts. If you want to know whether our “loyal wingman” will work, find some genuine fighter jets and follow my “loyal wingman”. One time, just look at the color? “
