Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The shape of the new aircraft looks more like a gunship, with three ion thrusters installed on its tail and wings, which provide the aircraft with a strong power of up to Mach 3.

It is also because of such a strong thrust that the pilots driving the new aircraft must wear special anti-G suits similar to space suits to withstand it. Otherwise, the instantaneous overload acceleration during maneuvering will put the pilot's life in danger.

This kind of three-engine design is very rare on fighter jets. Except for some prototypes with big brains or models in sci-fi works, this is the first time that a model with three engines has appeared.

Because of the strong power, Chen Xin didn't give much consideration to the aerodynamic layout, but with the optimization of the system, although the plane looks a little square, it still has a good aerodynamic shape, and it is not really powerful. .

Moreover, Chen Xin also takes into account the need for radar stealth in appearance, so it appears angular and not so round, 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 miniature nuclear reactor, which is installed in the position of the belly for easy maintenance and repair, and the reactor can be directly abandoned in the event of an accident.

Because the demand for working medium of the ion thruster is not large, 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 play a certain role in blocking dust and particles, and can also blow away the sand and dust blocked by the air inlet grille under the action of the airflow. The air intake 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 the installation of nuclear reactors, the location of the belly is also the main weapon loading 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-combat operations. automatic reloading.

This is something that no fighter jet can do at present. All fighter jets must be loaded before starting the mission, and the ground crew will hang the missiles on the mounting point. No aircraft can load itself while flying in the sky. bomb.

On the one hand, the take-off weight of the aircraft is limited, and it 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 occupy a lot of space. In the case of limited aircraft space, there is no space. Way to hold so many things.

However, because of the use of ion thrusters, this new aircraft does not need to put a huge fuel tank in 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. for installing other stuff.

Although this set of automatic loading system can only complete one loading, it is already a great enhancement for the fighter, enough to more than double the combat capability of the fighter, allowing it to play a greater role in air combat.

Moreover, Chen Xin also designed another mode for the new aircraft, that is, instead of carrying a secondary loading missile and automatic loading mechanism, it was replaced with a revolving pylon, carrying eight bombs for ground bombing, changing the A machine capable of ground combat.

In addition, under the nose, Chen Xin also designed a rail gun for the fighter. With the strong power provided by the nuclear reactor, the power of this rail gun is far superior to any of the current Yan Guo Air Force equipment. The cannon, and the ammo capacity is far superior.

As for another important avionics system on the plane, Chen Xin did not do 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 fighter jets from any country in the world.

It can be said that this new aircraft is an excellent all-rounder, whether it is air combat or ground attack, or even electronic countermeasures and aerial reconnaissance, it can be perfectly competent.

After the design of the aircraft is completed, it is natural to manufacture it.

As the chief designer of the new aircraft, Chen Xin is naturally responsible for related work in this regard.

The design drawings were sent to the relevant production units, and 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 the aircraft needs to be mass-produced, Chen Xin still entrusts the task of manufacturing parts to others.

In this way, when the country needs to mass-produce the 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 the aircraft is a very complicated job. Fortunately, the combat-ready airport where Chen Xin is located has the conditions to assemble the aircraft, and the ground crew technicians are experienced anyway. It took Chen Xin a week to finally put the new aircraft together. The bare metal assembly is complete.

The assembled bare metal was not even painted, and the metal skin of the entire aircraft was exposed in the primary metal color, which looked very rough.

And the position of the nose looks like a missing piece because the avionics and railgun are not installed.

But the plane's tough lines that are different from other planes, as well as the unique three-engine shape and slender fuselage, make this plane exude a different kind of beauty.

"Academician, the aircraft has been assembled, but the avionics system and 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 Looking at the assembly of the aircraft in front of me.

Regarding the lack of avionics and cannons, Chen Xin nodded clearly, which was what he expected.

"The avionics and the cannon are not in a hurry. These two parts are relatively difficult to manufacture. It is understandable that the construction period is slower. Install the fairing of the avionics first." Chen Xin ordered casually, while checking the status of the aircraft: " Where is the paint going to be done? Are the pilots ready for the test flight? Where's the pilot's anti-G suit?"

"The pilot has been selected and will come over tomorrow to receive relevant operation and driving training. The anti-G suit has been asked before, and the reply given by the manufacturer is that it will be completed within three days." The record in hand quickly gave the answer: "As for the painting, we have contacted the painting factory in Jincheng, and they will complete the painting."

There are factories in Chengdu that can paint planes, although those are for large passenger planes.
