Volume 1 062 New J-8V Skua Fighter

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Intruder fighter was fused with the J-8II to form what Qi Yiming calls the Skua fighter.

    In fact, from the nose of this fighter, it looks more like the Soviet Yak-141, which only had one prototype but was not finally put into service. It may also be related to the fact that the J-8II itself has the pedigree of Soviet fighters, so the noses of the two  It's similar. To put it simply, the head is a little narrow and the sides are slightly flat.

    Its air intake does not use a three-dimensional axisymmetric air intake like the intruder in Red Alert, but is more similar to the F-15's adjustable external pressure four-wave supersonic air intake, which is attached to both sides of the nose.  side.  The main wing abandons the original delta wing of the J-8II and is a trapezoidal wing similar in shape to the Intruder fighter, except that the wing area is larger.  In addition, it also uses small side wings, a single vertical tail, and a pair of horizontal tails, which are also similar to the Intruder fighter.  The power system is two medium-thrust vector engines with rotatable nozzles. Qi Yiming gave it the model WS-13C.  When the two vector nozzles need to spray down, the lower belly power hatch will be opened at the rear of the tail. It will not be as abrupt as the Yak-141. The nozzles are embedded in the middle of the tail.  In addition, the part that provides additional lift is similar to that of the Intruder fighter, but it is more superior. It is like a protruding part of two conformal fuel tanks on both sides of the inlet. When you need to add lift, you can open the cover, and two small lift  The engines will provide the aircraft with additional lift.  This design also makes the aircraft's aerodynamics better than those of the AV-8 or Intruder during flight.

    The aircraft length is 18.2 meters, the wingspan is 10 meters, and the aircraft height is 4.6 meters.  In order to reduce the weight of the entire aircraft, the aircraft body uses about 25% composite materials. The empty weight is 8 tons and the maximum take-off weight is about 17 tons. There are seven hardpoints, three under the wings and one in the center of the belly.  In the case of short takeoff/vertical landing and full fuel and bombs, the combat radius is 600 kilometers, the maximum bomb load is 3.6 tons, and the maximum internal fuel is 5 tons.  The maximum overload is 7G, ??and the practical ceiling is 18,000 meters.

    It can be said without humility that before the F-35B appeared, this STOVL fighter was worthy of being the most powerful STOVL fighter in the world.

    Since they are all integrated with the J-8II, Qi Yiming simply replaced the J-8II and still let this fighter occupy the J-8 number. Specifically, it is called the J-8V, codenamed Skua.  Such a change makes the J-8 undoubtedly a third-generation aircraft, the same generation as the Su-27 and J-10.

    Qi Yiming was also slightly pleased that since many parts and equipment overlapped with the J-8, the major changes were in power, body materials, avionics, etc. The above components can be provided by the base, and Shenfei can now provide them.  Assembling the J-8V fighter jet.

    After the important parts and components were provided by the Huludao base, they were transported to Shenyang Aircraft Co., Ltd., and red police engineer Li Siwei personally presided over the final assembly. Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the workers, the first J-8V produced by Shen Fei Aircraft Co., Ltd.  Shipped from the factory smoothly.

    The roll-off of the J-8V also attracted visits from Navy Commander Liu Huaqing and HNA Commander Li Jing. Liu Huaqing, the aircraft carrier controller, has been looking forward to the roll-off of the J-8V for a long time. Since Qi Yiming decided to prepare for the roll-off of the J-8V two months ago,  The Navy renovated the Melbourne into an amphibious assault ship, and Liu Huaqing came to see Qi Yiming every three days to check on the progress.

    How could Qi Yiming tell them clearly what was going on? Anyway, when the Melbourne entered the repair shop in Huludao, it would have nothing to do with him, and he didn't know what would happen inside.

    Qi Yiming has not seen HNA commander Li Jing very often, but he still seems to be a very energetic and motivated general. After the naval rank was restored, the HNA commander now has two general stars, which is the rank of lieutenant general.  With a very capable smile, he said to Qi Yiming: "Haha, with the J-8V, our Hainan Airlines can be considered to have a full-time fighter. Although it is still a little smaller, it is better than nothing."

    Qi Yiming was curious and asked: "Didn't we install the J-10 as an air superiority fighter? Why did Hainan Airlines say it didn't have a dedicated air superiority aircraft?"

    Liu Huaqing shook his head and said: "Those gentlemen in the Air Force are really hard to serve. Now it's not their turn to poke and quibble, but they have actually learned to be picky. A few days ago, Wang Hai was arrogating territory with our Hainan Airlines.  Now, we need to figure out with our navy which fighter jets belong to the air force and which ones belong to the navy. This is exactly what the Yankees did. In the past, everyone was poor and lived a makeshift life. Now that we are not poor, we just have to make do.  I¡¯m starting to know how to raise my own son.¡±

    After hearing such an absurd conclusion, Qi Yiming couldn't help but feel curious. In his time, the Hainan Airlines and the Air Force had not really made a clear distinction. This kind of thing is impossible to do under China's national conditions. The Navy and the Air Force are not as contradictory as the United States.  Yes, there is no competition between the military services for military expenditures.  Who knows, in this way, the Air Force and the Navy can become arrogant, saying this is mine and that is yours, and everyone should not rob each other's things.

    Li Jing explained: "The Air Force has confirmed that it will follow the example of the United States and bring all bombers under the jurisdiction of the Air Force, and then the J-10 will not be assigned to us as a dedicated fighter aircraft for the Air Force. At any rate, the Air Force also knows the main target customers of Feibao's design.  that isWe at Hainan Airlines only say that this aircraft model is shared by both companies.  "

    Liu Huaqing looked calm and said: "It just so happens that we take advantage of this opportunity to put up our own airs and step into the command system of modern warfare. It is not a good thing to get entangled."

    He paused, then said in a bad tone: "The F-14 is a carrier-based aircraft, and we won't give it to the Air Force when it's finished."

    Qi Yiming was almost stunned, but he didn't expect Liu Huaqing to be waiting for the Air Force here.  However, Qi Yiming does not believe that the Air Force has not considered this issue. The only explanation is that the Air Force is now quite satisfied with relying on the J-10 to dominate the air, and Qi Yiming has long ago sent a medium- and long-term development plan to the Air Force, which clearly states  It has stated that it will develop another heavy-duty air superiority fighter for the Air Force, which is the forward-swept Black Hawk fighter.  Therefore, the Air Force is not so eager to get the F-14.

    It is very likely that some people in the Air Force think that the F-14 requires a lot of maintenance time, and the energy consumed must be much longer than maintaining the J-10. Rather than causing this trouble for yourself, it is better to focus on developing our own J-10.  10 fighter planes.  According to Qi Yiming's knowledge, the Air Force currently operates about 200 J-10 fighters. He originally thought that some of them would be allocated to Hainan Airlines, but he did not expect that the Air Force would take them all.

    What Qi Yiming gave to the Air Force was not the Raptor fighter in official history that had witnessed the development of the national aviation industry. This new No. 10 aircraft was a version that had been greatly modified by the base. Not only was the body enlarged, but it was also equipped with a series of AESA radars, etc.  It has an advanced avionics system, and a total of 17 hardpoints under the enlarged delta wing and belly. The maximum bomb load is more than seven tons, which is equivalent to a small bomb truck.

    It is agile in the air, can carry bombs on the ground, can be detected by clairvoyance, and the overall maintenance is relatively simple. It is no wonder that the Air Force is reluctant to distribute this fighter to Hainan Airlines.  To put it bluntly, this magically modified Raptor fighter can definitely be regarded as one of the world's third-generation aircraft.

    Hainan Airlines has acquired a lot of Flying Leopards these days, and incidentally took over some anti-submarine aircraft such as the Kongjing-200 HNA version and Y-8GX-6, as well as Y-8 and Y-20 transport aircraft. The Flying Leopards were indeed able to survive in the 80s.  It can be used as a fighter jet, but compared to ordinary F-16 and F-15, it is not good enough.

    In fact, the J-8V cannot be regarded as a complete fighter. The performance addition of STOVL still brings some minor problems to it in air combat.  However, due to the reasonable aerodynamic layout, the strong power of the two WS-13C engines with a thrust of 90 kN, and the powerful electronic equipment of the Red Alert Base itself, the J-8V is fully capable of competing with the F-16, F-18, etc.  Fighters of equal size compete for air supremacy.

    ¡°Well, considering that the F-18, F-16, and Mig-29 do not yet have active mid-range bombs, the J-8V that can shoot PL-12 is still very advantageous.

    Liu Huaqing asked Qi Yiming: "Xiao Qi, do you plan to let Shen Fei produce the J-8V in the future, and your base will produce others?"

    Qi Yiming replied: "Some key components still rely on base production, and Shenyang Aircraft and other companies must have orders to support them. Chengdu Aircraft has now won the Pakistan contract for FC-1, and Xi'an Aircraft has also worked hard to start selling Y-  8. Y-9, Y-12 and other transport aircraft, needless to say, the trainer aircraft business has been booming, but Shen Fei is in trouble. The Air Force has made it clear that it will not order the old J-8 from Shen Fei. Haha, they also  There is no need for it anymore. To be honest, there is not much profit in upgrading the F-14. Although I have divested all non-core businesses of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, in order for the company to grow better, it still needs to have orders and production.  ¡±

    Li Jing also interjected at this time and complained: "Yes, our military and enterprises have such a mutually supportive relationship. How can we be like those in the Air Force who do not abide by the objective laws of development of things? Next year's military expenditures will be subject to a more standardized system of approval by the National People's Congress.  , Those stingy people in the Air Force have not ordered a single new aircraft, and they are clearly trying to steal your output. "

    Qi Yiming was not surprised by this result. He smiled and said: "Starting from next year, the Air Force will also separate airlines and other things, and the establishment will be greatly streamlined. There will be many places to spend money, and I heard that Wang Hai  The commander has ordered the pilots to fly no less than 15 hours per month. This is all money. I can understand that they can¡¯t find the money to order new aircraft.¡±

    Liu Huaqing shook his head and said: "That's right. It's just that a few companies are in a worse situation, so whether it's Chengdu Aircraft, Hongdu Aircraft, Xicheng Aircraft, Changfei, or Hafei, you have to work harder to find it outside."  Road, AVIC has been very busy recently, promoting all over the world, which can be regarded as a way out for these companies, otherwise everyone will have a very difficult life. "

    Qi Yiming is not too worried. It was during this period that these companies began to develop their own non-aviation products. Changhe Automobile and Hafei Automobile were both doing better than their own counterparts.  Moreover, in order to protect these enterprises, I have put a lot of effort into reforming the corporate system and sending red alert engineers to assist in technical transformation. If I can survive the hardships, I can only review myself.

    Liu HuaqingweiSmiling slightly, Qi Yiming said: "Our navy's military expenditure is not high, but we still have to do what we have to do. At least we will order 12 J-8Vs. If we have sufficient funds, we will see if we can order more."
