Liang Yuan wanted to say that he had a fight. He would be fine in the future and learn to fly F14 with Uncle Ning. If he was bored in the future, he would go to the sky and go around. More importantly, that thing is a two-seater, and it is much cooler to pick up girls than Lamborghini and others.

Unfortunately, I just thought about it, and I didn’t dare to say that even if I beat Liang Yuan to death.

"What can I do with that thing? I haven't even touched the flight control rod." Liang Yuan patted Ning Wanjia's little hand nervously holding on his shoulder.

"Domestic planes need to be approved for the sky. If you have a deviation, you can directly catch it. There is no room for negotiation. I have no chance to do anything." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Ning Lei thought about it, and the fighter jet is an extremely large system project. After being supported by the national system, it is a question whether a single aircraft can fly. Perhaps Liang Yuan has done too many abnormal things. Everyone ignored these problems and thought that as long as Liang Yuan thought, he would definitely do it.

"You have done too many abnormal things." Ning Lei said with a smile.

"Tell me about Uncle Ning, what are you thinking about?" Ning Lei asked.

Liang Yuan thought about it, sorted out his thoughts and said, "Uncle Ning, every time the f14 fighter completes a flight mission, it takes about a day to maintain it."

"Xiaoyuan, how do you know the maintenance time of f14?" Ning Lei asked curiously.

"Uh..., Uncle Zhang Jianxin, knows that he works in the American Aerospace Industry Association. Since we plan to buy F14, we must have a rough understanding of the products. I asked Uncle Zhang to take me to the AIA archive for a few days. Where did I see some maintenance data for the F14 fighter?" Liang Yuan talked nonsense. The American Aerospace Industry Association is located in Washington, DC. Liang Yuan has been staying honestly in Los Angeles when he was in the United States, and where has he been to the capital of the United States.

Seeing Ning Lei nodding, Liang Yuan let out a long sigh. With the help of the developed information network in later generations, it can be said that on this planet, Liang Yuan knows as much about the advantages and disadvantages of the F14 fighter jets as the US Navy equipped with the F14.

It seems that you must be careful in the future, be careful and careful. If you accidentally say f22 out of your mouth one day, that would be a huge trouble.

"I think Grumman must have never told Uncle Ning that the hourly flight cost of the F15 fighter is about 20,000 US dollars, while the F14 fighter is as high as 30,000 US dollars."

This was in the late 1980s, when the US dollar had a much stronger value than the green paper of later generations. Now, the flight cost of 30,000 US dollars is at least 50,000 US dollars in the new century. The flight cost of f22 fighter jets, which is known for maintaining delicate and troublesome, was only 46,000 US dollars in the new century.

Later generations of the US Navy retired the F14 early. Although there were factors such as Iran smuggling parts and the weakening of the threat faced by the US Navy, the most important one was the high cost of use of the F14 fighter.

"Take the US Navy as an example. Each F14 needs to fly about 300 hours a year. With a flight cost of 30,000 US dollars, the personnel investment can account for about 30% of the cost of fuel. The remaining 70% are necessary accessories loss, which means that the annual use of an F14 fighter requires US$6.3 million, and a squadron's F14 requires US$25 million to maintain one year of training and combat readiness. Is Uncle Ning ready to pay such a large sum of money?" Liang Yuan said with a smile.

China's military expenditure throughout the 1980s has been hovering between 18 billion and 21 billion yuan, and it can reach up to 5 billion yuan in the Air Force. Even if it does not consider the issue of personnel investment and material consumption, the Air Force's annual budget is evenly distributed to the more than 5,000 J-6, J-7 and J-8 equipped by the Republic at that time, and each aircraft received only 1 million yuan in funding.

A F14 squadron has four fighter jets. It costs 200 million yuan a year, but it does not include ammunition, oil, and personnel investment. Even if the F14 is powerful, a small squadron can withstand three air force divisions. This is a complete weapon theory. This is not afraid of hardship and unafraid of death. It is a naked insult and contempt for our party and army.

Liang Yuan could imagine how the senior executives in the Air Force, who were originally from the Army, would angrily scold this matter with their eyes closed.

Not to mention that the Gulf War had not yet broken out, and the top Chinese Air Force, who was like a local bun, was still in the fever of the J-60,000-year-old J-60. Even in the information society where information was extremely developed in later generations, facing the iron-like reality, there are still people who are still dreaming of using J-7 fighter jets to siege the F22 and using high-speed missile boats to deal with aircraft carrier formations.

Faced with this situation, even if 286 comes forward in person, it can't suppress the surging emotions and resentment of the conservative senior management of the Air Force.

Ning Lei took a breath after hearing Liang Yuan's words. Grumman would not mention such details at all during the negotiations. At this time, the Republic had no idea about the cost of full life. He was completely unaware of this problem. Even if the 200 million yuan air force a year, it would be a big deal, let alone cost valuable foreign exchange.

"Xiaoyuan, our ground crew should be able to maintain the F14. When we imitated the J-6 fighter, we did not get the ground support system from the Soviet Union. We also worked hard." Ning Lei's voice was a little weak, and he obviously lacked confidence.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Ning, I will just talk about a few things. The tires of the f14 fighter aircraft must be replaced after using a certain number of racks. The landing weight of the f14 fighter aircraft mounted on the combat is more than 25 tons and the landing speed is more than 200 kilometers per hour. Which tire factory in China can produce such high-speed explosion-proof tires? The swept wing of the f14 fighter aircraft is controlled by a computer and fully automatic retracting. Which domestic research institute can handle this set of things? The awg9 radar must be thoroughly maintained every 100 hours of use. Which radar's electronic accessories can be produced? The f14 fighter aircraft has a large number of titanium alloy components. Which factory in our country can accurately process titanium alloy parts?"

"Uncle Ning, I was chatting with Aunt Ning a few days ago and learned that the strong six fighter-bomber project of Yuzhang Aircraft Factory has been cancelled. Uncle Ning himself is in the Air Force. Uncle Ning should have a clear idea of ​​the data of the strong six aircraft. Uncle Ning believes that it is still in manual control to swept wing, which technical content is higher, and F14, which is the automatic control, is more powerful?" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Wan has now completely indulged in Liang Yuan. A while ago, she learned that Liang Yuan planned to invest in the F14 major repair factory, so Tang Wan became interested. It was easy to use Tang Wan's connections to make some news within the Third Department of Machinery or the Air Force.

Since the F14 fighter-bomber uses swept-back wing technology, Tang Wan was very impressed by the Strong Six project and planned to help Liang Yuan find some technical personnel from the Strong Six project. After all, scientific research institutes are currently underfunded, and Tang Wan's doing this is considered a public-private and private situation.

After Tang Wan contacted the Qiangliu project team, she learned that the Third Machinery Department announced the official launch of the Qiangliu fighter bomber project as early as early last year (Note 1). This kind of thing is an absolute good thing for Liang Yuan, who intends to invest in the overhaul factory. Therefore, Liang Yuan learned the good news from Tang Wan before going abroad.

Although Ning Lei is not a fighter bomber driver, he knows very well about the reasons for the strong six-distance dismount. Although the strong six engine is as unstable as ever, and the use of composite materials has been used for too long to solve the problem, etc. However, the biggest design of the strong six is ​​still the variable swept wing technology that caused the strong six to be dismounted - variable swept wing technology.

The variable swept wings developed by Yuzhang Aircraft Factory have always had the problem of structural overweight. Compared with the Soviet MiG-23 fighter jets, the variable swept wing mechanism developed by Qiang Six on its basis is 12% overweight. The reason for the overweight is that the titanium alloy receiver used in the variable swept wing mechanism cannot be processed at all. The overweight of the receiver not only reduces the oil and ammunition load of the fighter, but also affects the combat radius of Qiang Six.

Peng Xiaozhang, chief designer of Qiangliu, also plans to make Qiangliu's swept wing system, like the f14 fighter, have continuously variable speed function and be controlled and adjusted by the computer. Although Yuzhang Factory has basically understood the structure of variable swept wings, it is helpless in the control system of the swept wing.

The Republic has no experience in this area at all. In addition, due to the limited funds, the Yuzhang Factory could not obtain the prototype of the F14 fighter from Grumman, so it could only test it step by step. The aircraft development plan has been delayed again and again, resulting in a significant delay in development, and it will take a considerable time and funds to continue the development.

"Of course, the strong six cannot be compared with the f14. Our Air Force has made technical arguments, believing that the variable swept wing layout is not the mainstream of combat aircraft in the future. In addition, the completion of the strong six project is very low, so I finally decided to give up the strong six project. However, Xiaoyuan, can you solve the daily maintenance problem of the f14?" Ning Lei asked with some expectations and some confusion.

After hearing Ning Lei say that there is another important point, Uncle Ning is not embarrassed to say it. The military gave the variable sweep wing layout not the mainstream of combat aircraft in the future, but it is just a reason to be highly sound on the surface.

The engine used by the Qiang Six fighter bomber was the one that had ruined my mother's life in her previous life. The turbofan 9, developed by the queen, was deeper than the Mariana Trench in the Pacific. The factors involved in the Qiang Six's dismount were not just technical issues. Unfortunately, Peng Xiaozhang, like Wu Zhonghua, was a pure scientist who was devoted to working but not looking at the road. In the end, 10 years of hard work were destroyed.

"Uncle Ning, if there are no conditions, I don't have the ability to start from scratch and solve the daily maintenance problems of the F14 fighter. However, if I meet a few premises and give me some time, I will be able to solve this problem." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Ning Lei smacked his lips, thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, Xiaoyuan, you said that as long as you participate in the negotiations, there are a few more premises coming up, and you actually want to leave a fighter plane alone. Why do I suddenly feel fooled?"
