    Of course, this idea of ??relying on conformal fuel tanks to transform the aircraft body into a bomb bay is very simple and not difficult in theory, but in practice it is extremely complicated.

    First of all, in order to ensure that fuel can be supplied to the engine smoothly and orderly while ensuring the structural strength of the conformal fuel tank, the interior of the conformal fuel tank is divided into four small compartments.

    This small compartment can hold some aviation fuel, but it is a bit too small if it is equipped with ammunition.

    After all, as a combat bomber, even if it uses the bomb bay of the aircraft and flies one sortie, it only needs to carry two rockets. Then the combat efficiency is not low, but it is so low that men are silent and women shed tears.

    Secondly, the internal structure of the conformal fuel tank is simple. Apart from the fuel tank itself, it is just a fuel delivery system to ensure a balanced fuel supply, and there is nothing else superfluous.

    The bomb bay of the fuselage is not possible, because to add weapons, the conformal fuselage bomb bay needs to have a power line with the fire control system of the fuselage. It must also have a certain overall control system. The most important thing is that the outside must be open, otherwise the weapon will not be able to use it.  Show it?

    Finally, and the most critical point, is the material.

    After adjusting the internal structure and adding supporting equipment, the aluminum-lithium alloy used in the original conformal fuel tank is bound to be unable to complete such an important task. There is a need for a fuel tank that can support the overall structure and control the weight, and at the same time integrate the internal equipment with the  Weapon loads are compatible with high-end materials.

    In this way, with the support of design software and wind tunnel testing, this type of building block-like body conformal bomb bay can be completely formed.

    So this thing is not a simple component that can be formed immediately after proposing a concept, but a systematic engineering that requires the integration of aviation, materials, aerodynamics, high-end manufacturing and many other top disciplines.

    In other words, whoever has a strong family background, sufficient foundation, and more experience can barely reach out and give it a try.

    Not to mention the aviation giants in the United States, the F-117 is already flying all over the sky, the B-2 has begun to disappear, the F-22 is about to enter service, and even the YF-35 already has a prototype, whether it is  Both his wealth and experience make him stand out from the crowd and lead the way.

    Because of this, the use of inlet conformal fuel tanks to transform the aircraft body into a bomb bay is simply a gadget in the eyes of these American aviation giants. It is not a question of whether it can be done, but whether it is something that they want to do.

    If the Soviet Union were still alive, it would probably be able to compete with the American aviation giants. After all, those Soviet aviation design bureaus were not given for free. The problem is that Russia, which has integrated most of the Soviet legacy, has to solve the problem of hunger.  , the second is how to develop.

    In this way, let alone the next generation of combat aircraft, it is thankful to be able to maintain the few models that were finalized in the Soviet era. After all, the Su-27 series of aircraft has great internal "upgrade potential". It will take three years to  , three years of repairs, and another three years of mending. Such operations are still very inconvenient for Comrade Davari.

    Russia is living on its laurels because of economic problems, while Europe is holding a good hand and doing everything possible to survive.

    Originally, several major European CPs had developed advanced third-generation aircraft such as Typhoon and Rafale, and it was just the right time to strike while the iron was hot and launch the next generation of combat aircraft. After all, Europeans have always been worried about their defense independence, and they have worked hard for half a century before a few "Winds"  With the support of the Air Force, it has completed the integration of aviation autonomy and is pursuing victory. Maybe it can keep pace with the Americans in the next generation of combat aircraft.

    As a result, the traditional European art of talking and talking began to take effect again. In most CPs, everyone had their own reasons and talked about their own truths. After arguing for a long time, no one could come up with a reason. So the Europeans prepared to engage in a long-term argument.  It doesn't matter if we build a three-, five-, or seven-year fighter jet. After all, apart from the United States, only Europe has the ability to develop next-generation fighter jets. The remaining ones are all children under one meter, so it won't be too late.  Come on, no one can catch up, so there's nothing to worry about.

    ¡°As a result, Europeans are not worried, but Americans are.

    You must know that several "winds" in Europe have challenged the United States in many fields such as arms, NATO unified command, international trade, geopolitical influence and even credit currency.

    If nothing else, the settlement currency for the German-led "Typhoon" fighter jets sold to Saudi Arabia is not US dollars, but euros that will be officially circulated next year.

    This move not only harms the interests of U.S. arms dealers, but also directly challenges the interests of U.S. financial capital.

    Of course, the biggest damage is caused by the aviation giants who are the backbone of American manufacturing.

    And the more these U.S. aviation giants look at the behavior of these "winds", the more they look like the Airbus A300 that intercepted the U.S. civil passenger aircraft market halfway.

    Due to the Cold War, we jointly fought against the Soviet Union, and Boeing in the United States, McDonnell Douglas, North American, Lockheed and other giants are all fighting against each other, which gives Airbus an opportunity.

    Now with the end of the Cold War, American aviation giants have also followed the trend and begun internal integration. Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas; Lockheed merged with Martin Alita to form two super aerospace complexes: Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

    ¡°Coupled with the victory of the Cold War and the power of the only superpower, how could the Americans make the Europeans jump?

    Don¡¯t Europeans want ¡°wind¡±?  Then just let them go "crazy".

    So with one shot of the anticonvulsant medicine, the Europeans were intoxicated.

    The YF-35 Joint Strike Fighter is fully open to European allies. Do you want the next generation of combat aircraft?  Then don¡¯t worry about the day and night hard work, and don¡¯t suffer from the shortage of funds. Join the YF-35 Joint Strike Fighter project. Uncle Sam guarantees with credibility that you deserve to own the next generation fighter jet.

    As soon as the news came out, the United States arranged for the United States to arrange a grip within Europe, the famous troublemaker, and the devil's little master, the United Kingdom, directly gave up negotiations on Europe's next-generation combat aircraft and joined the United States' YF-35 Joint Strike Fighter project.

    "The departure of the British is tantamount to pulling the plug on Europe's next-generation combat aircraft. There is no way that although the British are lagging behind in everything, they are the best in Europe in two areas, one is aircraft engines, and the other is aviation industry design.

    Although these two fields are indistinguishable, with these two fields in Europe, any aviation industry product is not a problem. Once lost, no matter how good the aviation industry product is, it will never be a finished product.

    Because of this, the departure of the British heralds a major setback for the Europeans' next-generation combat aircraft.

    Yes, it¡¯s just a setback, not a complete setback. After all, they are a collection of old industrial countries, and they still have a foundation. As long as the Europeans grit their teeth and work hard, there is still hope without the UK.

    The problem is that at this time, many Europeans became timid and felt that the United States and the United Kingdom were simply invincible. Instead of going head-on, it was better to compromise and follow. So Italy and Spain quickly switched sides and joined the American aviation giant.

    The departure of these two countries will completely indicate that the European next-generation combat aircraft plan will be stillborn. There is no way. Although Italy and Spain are not as good as Britain, France and Germany, the two countries are indeed the top suppliers in the field of European aviation manufacturing.  .

    Spain¡¯s composite materials and automatic filament laying machines are no less than American products; Italy¡¯s large aviation gantry machine tools, flexible clamps, etc. have been leading the way for decades, and even German equipment, which prides itself on machinery manufacturing, has to admire it.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????: The Backbone of Europe's Next-Generation Combat Aircraft is Completely Broken.

    ¡°This is the case in Russia and Europe, can Ascendas Group do it?
